Yeah, because it takes two weeks to dev a game. NO WAY it could come out in 2010 or 2011. And even if it did, that'd be 5 to 6 years(After the 360), NO console has ever came out that quick, no way.

Because a game can't take two years to dev am I right? Since 2010 is in two years, that'd be 5 years after the 360...

I meant Microsoft had a good strategy for 360 until the competition came and took away 360's lead in all 3 major territories and the competition is further cathing up/going past the 360 at rapid speed

It would be really funny though if MS will have to make a new console in order to keep up with the PS3.

The Playstation 3 hasn't passed the Xbox 360 in Europe or North America, the Playstation 3 isn't moving at rapid speed anywhere.

Don't even come in here with that Sony arrogance, it's the Playstation brand that's failing. The Xbox 360 is actually doing BETTER than the original Xbox.

Let me show you just how hard Sony is getting owned in Japan.

2001, week 61 for the Playstation 2 - 4,380,000 total hardware sales.

http://vgchartz.com/japweekly.php?date=37010&console=&maker=&disp=Japanese+Name&boxartz=1

2008, week 61 for the Playstation 3 - 1,760,000 total hardware sales.

2008, week 58 for the Nintendo Wii - 4,870,000 total hardware sales.

Dude are you kidding me ? the PS3 is on pace to overtake 360 in Europe by Q3 this year. Yes 360 has a stong lead in America but it won't last forever and remember we have another 5-6 years of this gen left. By end of 08 PS3 would have taken both Japan & Europe from 360 thus leaving you guys to discount those other territories and grasp onto America for your dear life. Face it 360 will lose by the time this gen s over.

oh and the way I see it no console can do worse then the pathetic Xbox, not even the 360.
