So much damage control. I love it! When the 360 had a new model and $100 price drop in Fall 2008, it outsold the Ps3 for 13 months straight. The PS3's Slim could only dominate for 2 months, before the PS3 fell back into dead last place again. And I don't think it will be leaving that spot again for the rest of the generation.

Between the current gen consoles, 360-only owners would say the 360 controller is best, PS3-only owners would say DS3, Wii-only owners would say the Wiimote, 360/PS3 owners would say the 360 controller, 360/Wii owners would say the 360 controller, PS3/Wii owners would say the DS3, and 360/PS3/Wii owners would say the 360 controller. and any professional game journalist would say the 360 controller. As well as any multiplatform game developer.
Remove Wipeout HD Fury from the PS3 exclusive list and add Gears of War and Mass Effect to the 360 list and then you got it right.
So much for the PS3's supposed 10 year lifepsan. LOL. I guess Sony have finally realized the PS3 is a complete and utter failure and a disgrace to the PlayStation brand name. It's not surprising to see they want to move on to the PS4 so quickly and put the failings of the PS3 behind them.
It's going to have to look A LOT better than that if it even wants to begin competing with Forza Motorsport 3, the definitive racing game of this generation.
The gap is 7 million, not 6 million. Sony just recently announced that they had sold 27 million consoles, not 28 million. The Ps3 only gained 1 million units on the 360, even after a $100 price drop and complete remodeling and relaunching a new ad campaign for the system. Sales are dropping back down now, and the 360 will soon be back on top (it already is in the US). So, if the PS3 gets 7 more $100 price drops, it may catch up. Otherwise, LOL, no! It will stay dead last for the rest of the generation.Right now there is a 6 million gap between the 2 consoles. (PS3 28 million, 360 34 million units) I think in the US alone this holiday for the months of Oct, Nov and Dec that PS3 will outsell the 360 total by a million consoles for the full holiday season this year.. PS3 is currently selling very stronlgly and outselling the 360 in europe.. A News story earlier today showed that for the first time the PS3 will outsell the Wii in Japan this year for 2009 which is HUGE! Once Final Fantasy XIII comes out next month in Japan PS3 sales will be EPIC.
Going into 2010 Gran Turismo 5 hits and will sell millions of consoles in Europe and Japan and will sell a healthy number of consoles in the US as well. By Summer of 09 the gap between the PS3 and 360 will be down to just 3 millon units. Come November 2010 the PS3 will get a $50.00 price cut (most likely the 360 will yes) however the PS3 with its stellar line up for next year will sell very very good units come next november.. When its all said and done worldwide for 2010, i predict the PS3 will be leading the 360 by ATLEAST 500,000-1 million units.
