GT5 is for this year, bundle has been confirmed by SCE

also, outside the Xbox360 arcade low price at 199$, there is just no reason to buy an Xbox360 this year

all people that want to play Halo, have already bought a Xbox360

Xbox360 online is not free and u have no BR

whatever, dont worry, Xbox360 will keep selling because of the casual that want the cheapest

BUT IF Wii drop in price .... then, perhaps, it is gonna be a fabulous Xmas for me watching MS being outsold by so many

fingers crossed for TGS !

At your first point, provide a link because as far as anyone knows there have been no confirmations.

As for the highlighted portion, I don't usually say this but if you get enjoyment out of watching a console get out sold then you are a very sad individual and I feel sorry for you.

I m just supporting Sony and I dont like MS, that is all.

I m sorry that u are sorry for me.

oh and about GT5, i m sorry too : I made an error

http://www.jeuxvideo.com/news/2009/00036972-les-packs-ps3-slim-en-detail.htm

this come from retailers, not Sony itself. But, serioulsy, it is 100% garanted

Yes cuz retailers are always right....

* looks at the forza 3 on ps3 boxart and the constant release date shifts they have...*

it is not the BULLSHIT big online retailers

it is some big french retailers that are not talking about boxart of single game BUT new bundle coming with specific pricing

believe me, so far, god know why, these sites have been very accurate (40gb/slim/price cut)

GT5 for this year is TRUE

(believe !)

Time to Work !

It's stupid to assume that sales will continue for a full 4 weeks at the current pace. They'll eventually taper off as the hype slows down and the market gets saturated with slims. The gap may shrink, it may even get halved, but to think it'll be closed is ridiculous.

A simple congratulations would work too. Is it that hard for some of you to say, geez.....

They aren't sports teams...

Tease.

So what.....

So, why would you congratulate them? That said, why would you congratulate anyone for a speculative "win," regardless of the likelihood?

"Congratulating" Sony on having a shot at closing the YTD gap in the next four weeks would be like congratulating the Patriots for the Superbowl last year once they won the playoffs, and we all saw how that went. There's nothing to congratulate anyone for... yet.

Now, if the thread was "PS3 sold 500k this weeK!" you could say "congrats, Sony fanboys!!", but even then... You usually congratulate people then they achieve something.

When the slim takes the world by storm, revolutionizes gaming, and gains popularity like the Wii did, congratulations will be in order.

I'm not sute why people keep attacking the average weekly sales quote.

For this week, PS3 might have a 300K+ advantage on 360 and perhaps it would happen a couple more time in the next few months during holiday season. However, once January starts, it will go down to 200K, 100K or even 50K or 10K... that's why it's easier to take the average to estimate how long it would take to close the gap.

MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.
