they have been riding games from 2005 for 4 years now, thats almost half the expected life cycle for ps3, they have not many upcoming prospects, and on top of this, the ps3 is dishing out AAA calibur exclusives like a machine gun. E3 will come and go and microsoft wont have much to show in it, and their biggest hit of the year went as a 6.5 flop after being hyped AAA because of the name. the only option would be to try to sell a new system (which would leave ppl very unhappy, especially the lemmings) or to just go back to making windows. im guessing about 5 months after E3 we will hear the dreamcast-like news?

The 360 is nowhere near dead and wont be for quite a while. It's just that it's future is not as bright as PS3's imo.

You understand that most of your post is false right? If the 360 is selling better than the PS3 and is going under what exactly is going on with the PS3? I'm not really a console fan, but didn't the PS3 have a slow year also. Seems it didn't hurt them, why would it hurt MS?

Uh, Halo Wars was hyped A-AA. No one hyped it AAA. The PS3 has 5 AAAE and 1 AAAAE games in 3 years. I hardly call that machine gun worthy :| On top of the fact that it is selling like garbage while MS isn't I would say that they won't be calling it quits anytime soon.

If the 360 is doomed, then the PS3 will definatley be going under as well....

Both are far from it.

Doomed? I should certainly think not. How should you know what E3 has in store anyway. The PS3 is doing great, but one slow year is nowhere near enough to end a juggernaut like the 360. Four slow years would ie; Dreamcast. Also, Halo Wars was recieved pretty well anywhere not GameSpot (83 on Metcritic I believe).

Same thing with Nintendo, they fired too many shots in such a short time, and now people have to wait for a year at least to find some decent exclusives.

They already went under. MS is on the verge of collapse and announced last week that the 360 brand was being shutdown since no one was buying them.

If you think that the reason Sony hasn't already dropped the price is because it's doing "too good"........well then you are beyond anyone's reach in terms of help.

Dude, the PS3 and 360 are both great, but its undeniable the 360 has a lot more mileage in terms of games and sales. The PS3 has a bright future, but I don't think it can put up a decent fight against the 360 in sales unless we see a price drop. Only since mid-2008 have we begun to see true potential in the big black box.

A machine gun that takes that long to load and can only fire six shots is rather tame to honest. Nothing impressive, kind of defeats the point of being a machine gun.

Aljosa23

Length of coffin * width of coffin * height / volume of nail
= total nails

(then) total nails - current nails
= left over nails

Simple math really.

I actually look forward to Versus more than the actual 13, which BTW went multiplat to the poorly selling 360 because of Square's stupidity. Don't they KNOW that it will just backfire on them because no one buys 360s or its games anymore?

Totally. And because the Xbox franchise used to be such a driving force in profit for MS, but now suddenly is "doomed" after five months of mild inactivity in killer exclusives, and drastically dropping in sales beyond the negatives, MS itself may go bankrupt. Its crazy.

It's funny because we barely have any info on Versus. But it's exclusive and that's all that matters.

Stupid 360...
