I used to be a Xbox/PS2 gamer but this gen im only suporting the 360.

I see no reason to buy the PS3 to be honest. Last gen i loved both, PS2 and Xbox because of their exclusives but every single multiplat looked far better on the xbox. This gen i prefer the 360s exclusives and it also has the best versions of most multiplats.

I give credit to MS because of that. It has an one year older tecnology and still its on the top in terms of graphics (gears2), Gameplay, (IMO it has the best controller), online, its cheapper and has 2x more games!

Well...thats just my opinion but thats the reason im supporting MS this gen.

PS: sorry for the bad english

i read something a few days ago that even though the ps3 is so expensive they still are not actually making money - its costing more to make than what it sells for. i think this gen in sales it will go wii,360,ps3.

on to ps3 vs 360 i think 360 will win (im not a fanboy i have all 3 consoles and dont kiss anyones ass)because it has so many good games, its cheaper and the online is awesome.

[QUOTE="weddy92"]who won in 2007?Hitman533

PS3 won, more likely to win this year too considering that in 2007 it never outsold the 360 in NA and this year it outsold the 360 like for 6 months in NA so yeah PS3 has this year in the bag.

ps3 didn't win in 07, and it's getting slapped by both wii and 360 this year. sorry to burst your bubble :lol:

PS3 will pass 360 in 2010 only if they have a sku in the $199-$299 range. definitely if one at $199.

yes they will catch up. they only reason why ther not catching up really fast is because of ms price drop witch cant be any cheaper right now and also because sony is still supporting the ps2. in about a year most people that bought a ps2 recently will get a ps3. dont forget sony can and will get a price drop unlike ms that already did

Right now I would say no. The PS3 was outselling the 360 in America all year until the last 3 months (the 360 outsold the PS3 a few other months as well, but until October, the PS3 was leading the 360 in sales when it came to YTD) and in those months the 360 has now gained the lead back by around 20K. Look for the 360 to outsell the PS3 by 500K to 1 million in just America this holiday season alone.

That would mean the 360 would have outsold the PS3 by nearly 4 million by the end of 2008 since the PS3 has been on the market in America and its lead would be around 7 million in America when it comes to overall sales. Its lead in Europe is currently around 1 to 1.5 million and the PS3 is leading the 360 by about 1.5 million in Japan (the PS3 and 360 have been neck and neck in sales there since August) so by the end of this holiday, the 360 will mostly likely still have a 7 million lead in WW sales over the PS3.

The PS3 can't and won't catch up at the rate it is selling mainly because the 360's best selling days are most likely still in front of it considering the Pro and Elite still haven't hit the sweet spot for consumers to actually take notice and that would be $200 to $250. Once at least the Pro gets down to $200, which could happen as soon as next year and the Elite gets down to around $300, the 360 will start to fly off shelves. In fact I expect the 360 to sell more next year than it has any other year. Most likely we will see 360 ship numbers up around 38 to 40 million by end of 2009 if MS has a couple more price drops in 2009. It should reach to 27 or 28 million by end of 2008.

I don't think it will, the PlayStation 3 is leagues away from being the de-facto gaming console.
