whatever...360 is already on the decline...ps3 is picking up the pace and soon we'll see the sales surpassing it by mid 2010. And I admit that u've got guts to state so...Japanese H/W sales numbers for 360 is a joke..

And then 2010 rolls around, MS price cut + Natal + Console rebranding/redesign of some sort and once again the 360 worldwide lead goes right back up to 8 million or maybe even higher while the PS3 sales once again decline.

You must be short sighted and have forgotten about all the past shifts in sales/price? And to be honest, PS3 sales in JP are a joke considering last generation. This gen they'll be lucky to finish with half the sales the PS2 had in JP!

Once M$ does another price and releases Natal, sales will increase again. I don't see the PS3 catching the Xbox 360 anytime soon. Definitely not next year as people keep thinking. All of the PS3 exclusives have been released not except for Ratchet and Clank I think. M$ still has Left 4 Dead, Forza 3 and we all know CoD:MW2 will sell a ton more copies on XBox 360. The MW2 and Halo3/Halo ODST bundles will push XBox 360's out the door. Then next year you have Splinter Cell, Halo Reach, Natal, Gears 3 (maybe) and more exclusive announcements I'm sure.

"M$ still has Left 4 Dead, Forza 3 and we all know CoD:MW2 will sell a ton more copies on XBox 360"

L4D2 is a sequel to the game already released on both the PC and 360.

Forza 3 hasn't really pushed hardware so far, maybe since it's a "sequel"? (Forza 2 anyone?).

MW2 is on the PS3 too. Sure it will sell more for the 360, but I don't see why it would push hardware, and if it does, why it would push more 360's than PS3's. MW2 is basically a sequel to COD4, which is already played by people that liked it on their respective platforms.

"The MW2 and Halo3/Halo ODST bundles will push XBox 360's out the door."

Why do people keep bringing up Halo as a hardware pusher? It (Halo ODST) was released, had massive sales, and didn't push hardware at all. Every Halo fan already has a 360 (Halo 3: Released in 2007...).

The only thing I bet will sell more hardware for 360 is the exclusive MW2 bundle. But that's all.

----------------------------

Halo reach: Read: Halo bundle.

Gears 3: Not this gen according to Epic (But there's always a chance)

Natal: Read: Technocrati (Also, other guy talking about it needing good apps beforehand)

Splinter Cell: I don't know much about it, so I'll give that to you.

 

And lastly... price cut: Haven't you considered that Sony may cut the price too? Look at the latest price cut on both. The PS3 sales skyrocketed, and still today the PS3 keeps outselling the 360. The 360 price cut didn't do much, it kept selling at the same rate. Consider:

-2 360 SKU's: $299 & $199

-1 PS3 SKU: $299
