MS could go ahead and claim victory over Sony.

[QUOTE="fcjklosn"]Not just yet it hasn't. Give the PS3 another 5 - 6 months and then we'll see if it has truly "failed" or not.-Spock-

Hell no. Give it even more time than that. The PS2 didn't even fully take off until Christmas 2001 - over a year after its initial Japanese debut. This is because we had to wait for the heavy hitters to arrive like Devil May Cry, Metal Gear Solid, Gran Turismo and Final Fantasy. You know, the franchises exclusive to PS3 which are truly worth the $500-600 asking price?

Xbox brand - currently at about 30 - 40 million worldwide

Sony brand - PS1 + PS2 + PS3 currently around 200 million + worldwide

In conclusion , it will take MS and their Xbox brand light years before they can truly claim victory over Sony. Regardless if MS will win this war or not , they still wont be on Sony's level. Sony IS indeed the one that they need to beat. And the war aint over yet.

It's been 5 monthes, the 360 is continually spanking the PS3. It's not going to change either. The PS3 will always be a more expensive console with less games. 127k in the U.S. for Febuary is pathetic. MS should go ahead and announce victory over Sony.bluebrad1974

lol, you're such a fanboy.

No, Microsoft can hardly claim a victory so far. The US has always been their strongest market and is so far the only one they are doing better in. Additionally, even with the higher price tag and less games, the PS3 is selling faster than the 360 did when it launched... With more of the impressive games coming out this year and a price drop by next year, Sony will gradually creep up to take their lead.

EA, Square, & most industry analysts pick Sony for the win this gen, but with a smaller market share than they had last gen. I think that will still be a sting for them though. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

Yea, the PS3 definitely has the bigger year. The 360 has a few good titles to look forward to this year too. Just not as many. In addition to the ones you named, the PS3 is also getting Rachet & Clank, Killzone 2, Warhawk, Lair, White Knight Story, & Eight Days all this year.

With that kind of variety of games, the PS3 will definitely be moving more units. But I think the thing which will really cause the PS3 to start outselling the 360 is when the price drops and more people have hdtv's in their homes. The PS3 never has to be cheaper than the 360 (just look at PS2 & xbox vs. the gamecube), it just has to be more affordable for the masses that want it.
