the MOMENTUM the playstation 3 has right now is staggering. its on every ones lips and shops are selling out FAST. many PC and 360 owners are either upgrading or moving to sony's platform also. i work in a game shop and have seen this with my OWN eyes.

The only platform with a chance is either the DS or Wii. but if you look at the facts then with the AMAZING line up of quality exclusives, FREE online and that sony BUILD quality you just dont see anywhere else. the Wii and DS will struggle along with the PC and 360.

Thanks for you time. what are you thoughts on this subject?

The Wii and DS will be big sellers (as always), I also think the Xbox 360 will sell a little bit under the PS3.

None of the big 3 are showing a particualrilly strong holiday line-upthis year.
I'm staring at release lists thinking "maybe I'll get myself something non-gaming related for christmas."

Who's saying the Wii will rock christmas? There's F-all that's come out recently that's worth playing.

Dude PS3 we've been waiting on you to step up and challenge the 360. Why don't you take care of that whole thing before you even start thinking about how to challenge the Wii.

The Wii retook the recent sales lead so it's the PS3 stepping up and challenging the Wii.

I just got a leaflet of a mall in Italy. they're selling xbox 360 arcade + Banjo Kazooie for € 150. it's hard to resist since the ps3 without games still costs € 299.

I actually went into gamestop today and I almost bought a PS3. I decided not to because the only games id want to play i would play once and then my 300 dollar system would collect dust. Because most games are multiplatform anyway so im really not missing out on many games. I watched Metal Gar solid 4 online and it was long movie. I also........ wait a minute oh yeah theres Killzone 2 that looks awesome, Oh wait a little game called Unreal Tournament 3 came out 2 years ago and is still better than most Multiplayer First person shooters yes even call of duty and Halo ( SO NO!!! FANBOY BASHING!!! HALOS MULTIPLAYER IS GARBAGE!!) Serious Sam HD is better than half of the xbox 360 and PS3 games and that game is from like 2001 its jsut much prettier now!!!! YAY!!!! Seriously!!! LOL i had to throw that in there lol!!

I already knew this was a dog dirt thread from the title.. and i didn't look at who wrote it. anyway, nobody knows about this so-called "fantastic ps3 line-up" heck, even i don't know. can somone show me the ps3 EXCLUSIVES coming out this holiday season?

on topic, no. i don't know where you work, but here in Genova, Italy, NOBODY is buying a ps3. want to know why?

1: because euros are worth more than dollars.

2:Genevese are know to not spend alot of money:P

so actually, i highly doubt the ps3 will outseel the wii this holiday

No, you're lying.

Genevese and italians in general don't spend a lot of money in anything due to the highly priced "insurance" they have to pay to "cosa nostra".

I think I dropped IQ points.

Hmmm, pretty sure the Wii will do amazing, as it does every year. Especially with the reduction to $200 or so.

I like to use CAPITALS in random words!

And obviously the Wii, it won't even outsell it. No matter what you seen.

so when someone buys a console they will only have access to recently released games... not the whole library?

Well I don't work at a game store, but on friday, I was in Toys R us in Times Square shopping for a game, and People were buying the Wii for the 30 minutes I was there more than anything. This means about as much as the sales at one game shop for a short period of time, but the Wii can always challenge at Christmas time, imo.

I love my PS3's but I'm not naive to think it will have a chance against the Wii with price cut. TC you really don't realize how most young kids will get this as a present for Christmas espciallly with it's low cost and deals ($50gc at WM). Now the realquestion is will the 360 challenge the PS3 for second or will it just fade a way this christmas into a distant 3rd in monthly sales?

I picked up a PS3 here in the states through Best Buy's Black Friday special and it came with Little Big Planet GOTY edition and Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack In Time all for 299.00.

Im excited and sad all at the same time. Now I have all 3 systems and I'm going to be buying games 24/7, my wallet is going to hurt. LOL
