[QUOTE="LosDaddie"][QUOTE="Trading_Zoner"][QUOTE="LosDaddie"][QUOTE="LosDaddie"][QUOTE="amcallister902"] the ps3 is outselling the 360 (across the same period of 4 months) by half a million units. this is in america, 360s strongest market, and arguably ps3s least strongest,

The bolded part is what I want a link on.
Back up your claim with some proof. Otherwise, thread = failure.
Still waiting.....
Yeah I'll just go ahead and say that it's not true.
Then this thread is a failure.
The 1st problem with the "The PS3 is selling faster than the x360 at this point" argument is that the x360 is out-selling the PS3 NOW with no signs of that changing. Any possible ground the PS3 is supposedly gaining on the x360 is being offset by the sales of the x360 NOW.
The other problem with the argument is that Feb07 NPD numbers showed the PS3 being outsold by a whopping 101k units. The x360 sold 160k units in Feb06. Technically, the PS3 still has a "lead" of 40k at this point, but if March07 turns out like Feb07, then the PS3's "lead" will no longer exist.
I think it's a waste of time to focus too much on the launch period numbers.
This Gen. is going to be decided by long-term sales, even more so than previous generations.
You have to give each system at least 2 years to really be able to tell who will be a failure and who will be a success.
I think ALL of the consoles will be pretty succesful this gen.
Wii will sell a CRAPLOAD (probably around 130 Million) of consoles and expand the market significantly.
PS3 will help bring Blue-Ray to be a media standard. It will sell around 80 Million at the end of it's lifecycle (which will be quite a bit longer than the other two consoles BTW)
And Xbox 360 will increase market share over the OG Xbox. It will probably double Xboxes numbers actually. I say around 50 Million. Can MS really ask for more? I think that DURING the time Xbox 360 is in the market it will outsell PS3 until the very end of Xbox 360a cycle, and PS3 will go on after 360 for a few more years.
you know, this argument was getting pretty good until this last part. Sony fans don't worry. just wait 2 years, then get a PS3. Forget that the 360 will have a dozen AAA's with games like Halo3, Mass Effect, Blue Dragon, etc. "remember, we are all still only playing PS2s, and not gonna give our hard earned dollars to a evil corp like Microsoft."
When a cow is cornered; the most used excuse is "well you gotta give it some time. Wait, wait, wait, wait wait, then wait some more.
