We all thought it was silly, but heck it actually looks like a reality now, the lead that Sony gained this year has been pretty much eaten away with MS soon likely to take the lead. Another thing fanboys didnt understand was that in 07, Sony was selling loads of consoles in Japan, so it was another reason as to how the PS3 'destroyed' the 360 in its first year in sales

Then offcourse, 'teh XBOX 360 is teh doomed!.' Lets get this straight, it doesnt matter where Nintendo, Sony and especially MS finish, first, second or last, long as they make their money. To MS, the 360 is a huge success, and in some areas there is cause for concerns, but at this rate, its going to sell around 40-50 million units with further price cuts, slimmer model and offcourse big exclusives to go that will keep sales affloat.

MS are now making a profit, a healthy one too, Sony on the other hand arent, far from it, but they have established much in their own right like the phat Blu-Ray royalties theyll be getting for the next decade or so and offcourse, the PS3 has taken off this year.

So in other words fanboys, dont make such silly claims until this gen is over, any console, especially given the behemoths that are supporting them, has the ability to do well and none of them are doomed

Really? Did you read my post The end of last year, the 360 was getting AAAEs and had plenty of titles announced for 08, did that stop the 360 from being a doomed console? As usual, this will be swept under the carpet by the Cows

I read it, and I didn't any offense by the way. I just meant that it's silly how so many people seem to discuss the sales of consoles, and predicting how and when a company is going to crash and burn, we're supposed to be gamers dammit.

I did, you said Wii won't get as many high rated games as 360. I'm arguing that Wii already has a lot of good games to match 360's highest ranked games, or was it to hard to figure out?

If VGChartz are correct, the 360 has now sold more WW in 2008 than the PS3. Don't think many people saw that coming, it's just like 2007 but in reverse.

While I agree, there aren't(really) any AAA Wii games in fall 08, what gives, and World of Goo is a Wii Ware title that came from PC, good thing I have a 360.

your right in the end they all win. I give **** loads of credit to nintendo for what they've done, they took a huge gamble by creating an inferior piece of tech, with a new controller that got panned and laughed at right up to release. Then just managed to blow the competition out of water, noone in early 06 would of predicted the wii to do what it's done. Nintendo will be laughing their asses off right now at sony, microsoft and the critics for doubting and criticising the wii.

Microsoft have done well, but their strategy is lets advertise our console 6 hours a day 7 days a week, and hopefully people will buy into it. People did and so microsoft have performed well.

That's not really a 'good library', and I have all of those games... except boom blox. The wii is selling for casual gamers. And there are more casual gamers than there are hardcore gamers. FACT. Thats why it can sell more yet that does not make their library great. MP3 was fun, so was galaxy, but mario kart was totally dumbed down, and it mostly relies on chance, warioware are more of a minigame collection,twilight princess was good, but lacking, and the motion controls were totally taked on, since it was after all a gamecube game... The problem with the wii, is the graphics. When developers have an idea for a game, they choose the console to develop for based on graphics and other capabilities. They want to make their games to the max potential, to fully realize their vision to what they dreamed it up to be. With the limitations on the wii's hardware, the games have to be compromised. No developer WANTS to compromise their game. Thats why the blockbuster games come to PS3 and 360. Nintendo did GREAT justice for casual gamers, and expanding theg aming community by simplifying their games for casuals and newbies, but their hardware limitations also limit the great games library they 'could' have had, regardless if the new control mechanics work for them or not. The wii will sell, and continue to sell, and they will probably carry most of this new fanbase over for next generation, and some of them may even evolve into hardcore gamers (which is great for the 360/ps3/hardcore camp as it means more demand for better games) but it will never be a hardcore gamers console, and never have the quality of games that the competition has.

Guess Sony lovers can stop pissing and crying BU BU ONLY AMERICA, reality is the 360 now has the best games libary of the two (i am not counting only exclusives, i said games libary don't quote this with a silly list that you have written down somewhere.), the best and most vast movies to download, more DLC, more and arguably better Arcade line up and is winning in sales.

I'll give PS3 HOME, it has that..but uh..Oh wait, no one cares about that.
