things for MS are not bad, but 360 if far from beating the ps3 even with that one year advantage.....
maybe a new soldier is coming and as the "playstation father" said, 360 only went after ps2

i don't know selling 30 million and having the highest software attach rate is quite an achievement. They are in a comfortable position, they have no chance of beating the wii, and the ps3 doesn't look to be overtaking it anytime soon. i expect a new one to release in late 2011- early 2013.Mckenna1845
more than what i expected, i expect the xbox 2 to see the light around 2010-2011, but it could be the last decision MS makes on the gaming industry
"far from beating the PS3"? Oh you calves...MacaroniMoses
it sells more yes..but its cheaper also, thats not beating...

yeah 2013 may be a little late, more like mid 2011- early 2012, they won't announce it this year, so a mid 2010 announcement would set it up for a 2011 launch.[QUOTE="MacaroniMoses"]"far from beating the PS3"? Oh you calves...antibanner

the PS3 is beating the Wii and 360 cuz it's more expensive? lol

ok, so whats "beating"?? Selling more software?? - check Having the highest attach rate??? - check Most and Highest rated games (yes 360/PC games count)?? - check Gaming division in the black?? - check More marketshare?? - check How many ways of "beating" do you need??Huh?[QUOTE="lhughey"][QUOTE="antibanner"]

No kidding. GS should have a test before allowing people to post. I'm not the english police, but this is ridiculous. This post reminds me of this

Yet more people continue to choose the 360 and LBP appeals to far less people. You can make the highest rated game in the world, but it doesn't help much if it doesn't appeal to a wide group of people. Niche titles don't determine much in the "console war".

first of all, we all know how much more the 360 have sold,and the bigger installed base means sometimes more software. attach rate! there you got one, yes impressive.
the xbox 360 is not beating the ps3 because,the 360 is not consolidating itself as the "console to own" like the ps2 was.+ time is passing, its has been flowing for more than 3 year now and MS doesnt like aged consoles.
on the other hand ps3 is still a little baby learning how to walk and is already catching up with the box.what i mean is that at this rate the ps3 will become the next "console to own"thus defeating 360.
now whos beating?

:shock: What are you talking about?!? MS has outsold the PS3 in several places. Seriously, what are you talking about?ok, so whats "beating"??

Yeah, that post didn't make all that much sense.

lol. Now the 360 and Wii are technically losing to the PS3 because they are cheaper. Gotta love SW."Now the 360 and Wii are technically losing to the PS3 because they are cheaper" lol at you, sorry
MS will dump 360 when pigs fly.OPuniverseI heard that will be possible 2011,2012. Seriously if MS discontinues 360 when they release the next 1 I will punch Aaron Greenburg in the face. Not because its his fault because he talks too much.

I doubt MS will discontinue the 360 when the next xbox release tho because the user base is huge on the 360 compare to the original xbox.
If the aim is to lose the most money in the shortest amount of time with the smallest install base i agree ,
Sony is winning big time .
Come on , they lost every freaking dollar they made with the PS2 on the Trey .
No RROD can ever beat that , evah !
I would say 2-3 years till their next console and then another year or 2 of support.
I dont think people realise this yet but the 360 so far is the only successful console this gen overall. The 360 has far outsold the original xbox in a few years and has more higher rated games. The same cannot be said for the Wii or the PS3, MS would foolish to dump it soon.
Something i dont get is when the PS3 launched the 360 was around 8 million sold. The 360 is now around 30 million and the PS3 is around 22 million. I hope im not the only one seeing this, how does Sony expect to win if the gap is closing at all?? Alot of cows talk about destroying the 360 in sales but thats far from it.

That actually furthers my point. The mainstream doesn't always get what is highly rated. You could have the best Reggae song ever, and its likely to get outsold by a less quality song from a genre that appeals to more people. Stop being so defensive.[QUOTE="___gamemaster__"]

i agree, and it has been said over and over again, MS only dumped the xbox because it was still not COST EFFECTIVE to make the CONSOLE anymore. And naturally they shifted their first party software to 360. 3rd party software companies stopped supporting it because MS stopped making consoles. The situation is the complete opposite this gen, so MS wont just give up on it when it is making so much money, and selling so much 1st, 2nd, AND 3rd party games. 360 is cheap to make, and they profit from every unit sold, so the same wont happen.I would say 2-3 years till their next console and then another year or 2 of support.

Actually 360 outsold PS3 2:1 this holiday, and keeps outselling it in a huge way right now
Also is 8-9 million units ahead and the gap is widening
The best 360 exclusives sell 2-3x better than PS3 ones and has by miles the biggest attach ratio too, so 3rd party games sell a lot better on 360
Also has the best version of most multipltform games, gets by miles the most exclusives and console exclusives in 2009, by miles the biggest and most huge games in 2009 etc
So, why would anyone think that MS will "dump" 360 for some more years ?
Sense? This thread makes none.
They will "dump" it, once it stops turning a profit or support dwindles significantly.
