^ QFT and probably the new firmware helps as well

Above I'm a proud Gran Turismo fan, not a Sony fanboy, and now a proud 360 owner, but sharing xbox live accts ATM

End of 2009 Predictions (made Jan 1, 2009): My predictions were pretty accurate, the 360 was over and the Wii was just under.

Wii: 65 mil (yea I'm crazy) 360: 35 mil (its getting there) PS3: 30 mil (the slim better do well)

End of 2010 Predictions (made Jan 7, 2010):

Wii: 81 mil 360: 47 mil PS3: 45 mil

It's possible. Were they both brand new consoles? If they were, then there is no doubt. However, if the Slim is brand new and the fatty has had games installed, uninstalled, and installed again, it could be no more than a fragmented hard drive.

I have moved and do not have the internet at home, yet.

The bottleneck is the Blu-ray not the HDD.

Thanks for the input, Jeff.
