Sony will not win 2009. Microsoft always comes out with killer news during September that screws up Sonys plans.

Don't know, but the TC actually writes all the articles from that blog. That way instead of posting inflammatory posts, he's "reporting news".

lol true

I think that pepole don't refer to the Wii since they know that the PS3 can't get ahead of the Wii unless a miracle of some sort happens and even than the PS3 won't get ahead of the Wii in at least three years.

Seriously, 360 is barely outselling Ps3 right now and it's $400.

Once the price is dropped to $300, along side GT5, FFXIII, Uncharted 2.....

how can Sony NOT beat MS this holiday season?

LOL...Sony will not know what winning is for a very long time:

This Winter expect DS and Wii to take home the gold and silver respectively

360 will receive a very distant bronze

and The Playstation brand (Ps3 and PSP) will get their 3rd straight Click Here

Sig bet?

While I agree that we will see all three for this holiday's sales, it won't win the holiday sales war.

Wii will still be far ahead with a great lineup in all territories and a black model.

However, PS3 and 360 will be neck and neck as it really depends on what MS does to counter PS3 price cuts / new model; a $300 elite won't cut it imo.

Can't wait for Aug 18th to see all the finalized news. :)

Interesting they think the hard economic times will benefit the PS3 sales if there is a pricecut. I would say the hard economic times will supress the boost of a pricecut, in comparison to the boost one would expect from a lower priced slim in better economic times. Yes it will lead to an improvement in sales compared to current PS3 sales, but the current PS3 sales are probably a little low in part because of the expectation, nay the demand, for a pricecut.

At best a pricecut + slim (after the inevitable initial spike dies down) would lead to a reversal of the current PS3/360 relationship in Europe with more or less the same sales differentials, and a significant narrowing (but not an overtaking) of the 360/PS3 gap in America. In better economic times the slim+pricecut+GT5 combo would probably have been a knockout blow for the 360 in Europe and lead to a reversal, but still a tight race in America. Then again in better economic times the PS3 may well have been outselling the 360 in Europe for most of this year.

(Japan & FFXIII aside) Without GT5 this year the holiday software lineup does not look to be anything that would lead to a change in fortunes for PS3, despite the great quality of the other titles. And it's questionable whether a GT5 release at another time would lead to the sudden and sustained surge that would trigger the sort of momentum needed to propel PS3 to higher levels of long term sales. It's quite possible for GT5 to come too late this generation to be a game changer.

yes sony will win the hoilday season,,, wit ha price cut and slim
i will buy a slim my self
