[QUOTE="todd2r"]

i find it hard to believe that the ps3 will ever catch the 360, at least in NA. every month, the 360 outsells it. im not good with math, but dont you have to sell more to be ahead?

The 360 hasn't outsold the PS3 every month in NA. :| Check the monthly figures over the past year. You'll see each side taking certain months.

Not to say that the PS3 will outsell the 360 in NA, and certainly not anytime soon. But the OP's article is talking about WW sales. Sales outside of the U.S. count too, you know. :P

First of all, these are shipped numbers. The PS3 has sold approximately 36.1 million units, and the 360's lead is actually by about 5 million units. In the NPD, the PS3 has not outsold the 360 once yet this year. Worldwide, the 360 has been outselling the PS3 in virtually every country except for Japan since the new S model's release. Here are the weekly sales since then from VGChartz:

So far only the Europe numbers are in for July 24, but the 360 has already outsold the PS3 by 70,000 units there alone. As you can see the gap is growing rather quickly now. It should be 7 million units by the end of the year. The PS3 will need more than GT5 this holiday. A price drop at least to match the 360. Plus, Microsoft is releasing the Arcade Slim model, which will skyrocket sales even more when it launches. I honestly can't see the PS3 outselling the 360 another week this year, not even the week of GT5's release, because Kinect launches that same week and it is sure to sell tons of 360s with the Kinect system bundle.

GOW3 will be AAAAE. If a game with low production values such as bayonetta can score 9.0 then GOW3 will undoubtedly score 10.0. GoW3 will excel in all criteria especially graphics. Story and gameplay will be locked down for GOW3 as well. When GOW 3 scores 10.0 it will be another nail in the 360s almost sealed coffin.

The year's hack n slash titles will be like this:

1. GOW3

2. Bayonetta

3. Dante's Inferno

So, PS3 gets better exclusives... sometimes, but 360 seems to always outpace PS3 in their multiplat games, so if 2010 the xbox has great exclsuives, then where does that leave PS3? ... back in third place still i suppose. Either way, I played this game yesterday and wasn't too impressed by it, I personally like Darksiders much better. Somethign about the music in Bayonetta that just doesn't jive with me.Phazevariance

When the DLC is $20 and has higher presentation values and more gameplay content than most full games (GTA IV DLC), then it is okay. Damn okay!

2 2009 games against a 2010 game???? gt5 missed its chance. time travel isnt invented yet. they have to wait to battle 2010`s best racers.

Mario Kart Wii wins in gameplay, Forza 3 wins in physics, and GT5 wins in graphics.

There, now everybody's a winner!

PS3 fanboys, by far. Their console is in dead last place and will be for the rest of the generation, but they act like it's miles ahead in first place. Now that's just plain delusional.
