you pretty much hit the nail on the head. Personally, I don't think MSG4 and FF will pull it out enough to overtake the 360. As long as cross platform titles continue to arrive earlier and look better on the 360 than they do on the PS3, the PS3 will always play second fiddle.

That said, what exclusives does the 360 have coming up in 2008? I don't know if I can name any.

[QUOTE="Friendlyfire53"]but fighting back! one inch at a time (see any given sunday). The support for ps3 is rising with the recent price drop and the hit EXCLUSIVE games coming up are boosting sales. ps3 will come in 2nd this round. but can we really put the wii in the catagory of powerful console? adult consoles ps3 wins.InfinityTomorro

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that Paramount, Nickelodeon, MTV and Dreamworks are dropping Blu-Ray support.

*monotone* Oh no, not MTV and Nickelodeon. what ever will we do without the Hills season 2 and Drake and Josh in HD?

tl:dr version: Blades of Glory, Jackass 1 and 2, Hustle and Flow, Napoleon Dynamite, Election etc.

Yeah, dont count that kiddy trash wii. I believe it will be a close rase bewteen the 360 and ps3, but I think PS3 will win in the end because MS will abandon the 360 earlyironwarrior2

Why would MS abandon the 360 early? The conditions between Sony and MS are completely different this time. I can understand why they'd want to drop the Xbox asap. It was getting killed by the PS2 and MS wanted to actually own all the hardware it put into the next console, so they rushed (which could be why the box is so faulty) into the next gen with the 360 and forced sony to release the PS3 way ahead of their schedule which is obvious because 1) it was nearly a year late, 2) cost $600 3) didn't have many games out at release and not that many to be released soon after.

MS is in a good position now and NEED to show profitability from their entertainment division and the best way to do that is to keep selling the same console for as long as possible.

PS3 can try to climb out of the grave they dug for themselves (Thanks Ken!) but the 360 is dumping a ton of dirt back on them with Bioshock (seriously, what game has ever scored this high across the board?), Halo 3 (good or not, it'll sell a ton) and Mass Effect, which amazingly despite being shown at the same conventions as Bioshock, managed to win Game of Show at both this years and last years E3.

What exclusives does the PS3 have in store? Heavenly Sword? Lair? Little Big Planet isn't coming that soon, PS3 Home is going to flop hard (who wants second life console edition?) and I'll bet MSG4 is at best a timed exclusive. Every month that passes, the PS3 continues to lose ground and not having ANY established IP's as exclusives this holiday, much less the two front runners for GOTY, means that it's going to get alot darker before the PS3 sees any sunlight.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that Paramount, Nickelodeon, MTV and Dreamworks are dropping Blu-Ray support.

no. nobody cares about Killzone except Sony fanboys that think it's going to save their console. Nobody played the first one and nobody's going to buy a PS3 just for Killzone. It's just another FPS. Hell, Halo isn't all that special if you've played FPS's beforehand, but MS got lucky and hit a home run with kids that never played quake, doom, Half Life etc. etc. Halo 3 could stink and it'd sell more consoles than Killzone.

EU retailers had to pay for their stock. so 600k sold to retailers, not to consumers.

all in all, it was a good move. Merchandise doesn't cost sony what the retail price is, so really they probably only spent $300,000 on it and that's chump change when you're talking marketing. hell, a 30 second TV ad for the superbowl costs like $2.5 million.
