i dont see notin that there about to do that can save them now sales wise unless natal is huge

prices for the fall should be this
150$ arcade
300$ super elite with natal

300$ 250gb PS3

the price gap will be similar to wat it was in late 07 through most of 08 at time 360 wasnt able to outsell the ps3 by much next year ps3 should be down to 250$ which will spur up more sales boost

wat 360 can do is to remain on top is get next gta and cod exclusive or have there own game devs come up with some SW that is new to the gaming scene like gta3 was for the ps2

some kinda realist FPS with stealth melee and cover fire options or a real good modern TPS staring JOHN RAMBO that would make me buy a 360

Sony has probably a little bit better lineup than MS so the new control systems gonna decide whos going to win
I think it was a bad move to push the release of the PSmotion controller (probably) closer to the release of Natal
I think it will take a lot more for sony to create the impression "I WANT THAT" in peoples minds than it will be for MS with Natal
as things are now, with no real games announced for natal and sonys arc, Natal also has the hype on his side.



Relax, Microsoft is doing fine. At the moment, profitability for them matters more than fighting for a silver medal. They have a big enough market share in the west that they don't have to worry.

Even if you take into account the greater number of PS3 exclusives vs. 360 exclusive this year, it's clear that the problem isn't the lack of a price cut or lack of NATAL. The problem lies with 1) Microsoft churning out less first-party titles than Sony. This can be attributed to Microsoft not having many in-house developers. They rely a lot on independent developers. And 2) Some Japanese developers not having faith (NIS or Dust) or favoring the PS3 (Sega especially minus Bayonetta, Square-Enix recently, From Software recently)


The only exception to these two points is Rockstar (Agent, LA Noire). And they announced these as PS3 exclusive aeons ago back when it was selling poorly and 360 momentum was high. They chose the PS3 because they feel that Blu-Ray's storage capabilities will give them more creative freedom with a open-world sandbox game.

So if I were to recommend anything to MS, it would be to release more first-party titles and do something about the Xbox 360 in Japan. Final Fantasy Versus XIII exclusivity was an unavoidable situation because Square-Enix felt they had to keep it exclusive worldwide after that torrent of weeaboo rage  "waaahhh, Wada-san is a sell-out for making a deal to release FF13 on that American console so that the game can reach more gamers!" post-FF13 multiplat announcement.



They don't have to worry yet.



Who's the best Pac, Nas, and Big. Just leave it to that.

Microsoft are making money on a console that is selling fine, why should they worry? They know Natal is gonna be a big risk for them maybe they just want to enjoy their profit for now, sales are fine might as well just wait for Natal and bundle it with the xbox arcades and elites for the price they're selling at now; I mean if they want Natal to be a success it'll need to be bundled so I really don't expect an American price cut anyway before it



"Microsoft are making money on a console that is selling fine, why should they worry? "

I thought you was leaving this thread? what you still doing here trolling?



i decided to comeback because i felt like it. If you dont like it then you leave.

Another fact: Ps3 exclusives are more attractive than Xbox 360
