If I remember correctly, the PS3 already sold more hardware than the 360. Don't forget that the 360 had a year head start. *EDIT: Oh, you mean hardware total for the first week of September only... but still.

But yeah, I wonder how MS is going to counter this.

Of course there is still this redonculous argument.

EDIT: Barring out the first year of 360 sales, it has still sold more.

there are none. It has the same HD as the elite, BD and free online. It should come close to doubling the 360 sales WW the rest of this year, if not ill consider it a 3rd place finish at the end of the gen.

Now the PS3 has got the price cut, the games, the networking tools etc etc

Pretty much everything the 360 has.

So with that do those PS3 supporters now conceed there can be no more excuses in terms of how the PS3 does sales wise?

The main defence was always the price of the console. People would say "When the price cut happens xyz will happen". Wit lots of games to come people would say "wait untill xyz comes out" etc etc.

In my view that cannot be used anymore. The PS3 is a good console and now has a good price tag. Not as cheap as a 360 but not that far away from it.

PS3 from first week of September HAS to sell more consoles worldwide then 360 or i honestly do think that is it in regards to who takes 2nd and 3rd place this generation.

PS3 was outselling 360 handily week in and week out until the 360 got ITS price cut a year ago.

that only works if you align launches. 360 has sold more than PS3 since the PS3 launched.

Bah, I'm just repeating what I read from a thread a few weeks ago. Don't hurt me!

Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Do I sense bitterness?

No, it's just persistantly trying to hear the loons overstate the expected sales for something. E.G. Resistance 2 will sell more PS3's then God sort of tripe, it's like rashionality doesn't apply.

its not ridiculous. Its logic and doesnt fit your mold of sony hatred so you refuse to accept it. It doesnt mean its sold more, but the fact it has sold more launches aligned while the 360 had no current gen competition for 12 months is a fact thats not going away.
