What are you PWNING about the 360? The 360 has more games, a much better online service, it's cheaper, it's more powerful: dpad.gotfrag.com/ and it's a lot more popular. The popular consoles get the most games. This leads me to another point. Can anyone here really predict the Ps3 will be the best selling console this gen? I know your all fanboys but lets be objective. Sony has gone on record saying they've been practically begging devs to stay on board with the Ps3 so that can't be good. It's also well known the best selling consoles get the most games cause the devs want the most money. This could lead to a dramatic catch-22 situation where the Ps3 gets less games cause it aint selling well, and it aint selling well cause of a lack of quality titles. Can anyone see a way out? I love the fact the Wii is the fastest selling console ever and currently winning the sales war www.joystiq.com/ but i don't want to see Sony totally die out, competition is healthy.

Next time, prove your point before posting or i'll prove you wrong: www.joystiq.com/

Microsoft Xbox 360: 527.8K (6.8 million total)
Nintendo Wii: 501K (4.5 million total)
Nintendo DS: 495.8K (13.2 million total)
Sony PlayStation 2: 215K (39.3 million total)
Sony PSP: 284.5K (8.6 million total)
Sony PlayStation 3: 119.4K (1.87 million total)

These are how the consoles sold in North America in September and the only other place in the world where it is different is in Japan where the Wii has outsold the 360 and Ps3 combined for the last 10 months.

Till what Next year ?

the Ps3 Is much for Powerful the And the 360 by far, And Blu Ray Is a Way better Seller Than the Pathetic HD DVD will ever do, I Give it a Year before It dies out. And yet you Talk about titles ?

All I ever Hear about the 360 Is Halo 3 That's all you guy's are Practically living on, and thats the greatest Reason what 50% of 360's are sold, Next year the Ps3 is Soon to Reign over the 360 with Metal Gear Solid 4, HAZE and Drakes Uncharted Fortune.

What Do 360 Fan boys Ever use against the Ps3 as one of their Lame comebacks as Always "But FEAR looks Better on the 360 !", who Really Cares I bet we Topped you on Stranglehold and the Darkness By far. And home is Going to put the Ps3 on the Map Think of it as the Sims but recreational and better and I don't see the 360 Making much of an Achievement when it comes To Making social Matters a Priority.

Did you even bother reading this entire article: dpad.gotfrag.com/ ??? It proves the 360 is more powerful. Also HD-DVD has recently secured more exclusive movie studios www.cnet.com.au/

"However, today the HD DVD camp gets to tout a major victory, as Paramount announced that it is now exclusive to Toshiba's chosen format, taking its DreamWorks Animation SKG, DreamWorks Pictures, Paramount Vantage, Nickelodeon Movies, and MTV Films brands with it."

Oh and don't mention Gaylo 3, i hate all those utterly generic fps games. All 3 consoles have thier strong points and good games, you sony fanboys just don't seem to realise good the 360 really is.

Lol Foetoid, you would have to be one of the most patriotic Wii fans around man, your replies seem like those of deep emotion and passion mate Try not to double post *I have told you before not too long ago* oh and by the way, not everyone on this site is a fanboy, you are going at full speed here and are starting to assume everything, steady the ship my friend IMO on this war, i think it's great competition really, i also think its way too early to be thinking a console has won and a console has lost this war, lets wait and see what happens once ALL consoles have more exclusive games to show off. Me personally im all for visuals and proven franchises, that is why my choice of console is PS3 and 360, Wii visually looks as pleasant as a cooked turd and the games dont appeal to me one bit, so i'll stay clear of that toy for those reasons. LMAO please, please reply PS3 year to show off will be next year with exclusives such as MGS4, Tekken 6, GT5, Little Big Planet and Killzone 2.

Hardly.

It is interesting to note how many people are concerned about the PS3's sales now. I really couldn't care less because the PS3 was built as a system that would act as a sufficient hardware platform for a decade.

The gamecube was on shelves and off shelves again after a few years, the PS3's life-cycle will ensure that it out-lives any of the other current generation of consoles. And it does it by being technically superior in every way over those other consoles hence the larger asking price for the machine.

Speculation on sales is not worth a great deal until 5 or six years down the line we look back at the cumulative sales and project into the future. At least I know that if I buy a game for my PS3 that in another 7 years time I can still pick up hardware that will play it.

lol callan, the wii is cheap that is why it is selling the most consoles, just like the ds and psp, the ds is selling more but honestly who would rather a portable N64 over a portable PS2? The PS3 IS the best console, sure i still like my 360 but it doesn't really compare to the ps3, the only thing the 360 is beating the ps3 at is the amount of games... GTA4 will tell the story of the difference between the 360 and ps3 in visulas, all the pics and videos of GTA4 have been from the 360 version and apparently according to Rockstar the PS3 vesion looks better... I mean the 360 version has framerate problems while the ps3 version runs smoothely...

but with the 360 having Bioshock and Halo 3 makes it still fun to play.

gdmatt i've never had any intention on buying any Nintendo product, i have nothing against the company, but for me, everything they sell holds no interest to me. I played a Wii at my friends house and all most laughed my ass off how ugly and silly the whole thing was. Just my two cents. As for games, i like to compare similar genre types for each console. GT5 will wipe the floor with PGR3 and 4 like it always has, Tekken 6 is pretty much pissing all over DOA4 in every department adding VERY realistic fighter animations instead of using the cheap cartoon cabbage patch doll/anime look * you should see how insane Tekken 6 is looking in motion*, FFXIII and Versus will make light work of a Blue Dragon and Fable and MGS4 will no doubt be one of the greatest action adventure titles ever made. Plus i also consider the fun you can with lightgun games like Time Crisis 4, 360 doesnt have any good if at all light gun games. FPS i would say 360 wins even though Bioshock is also on the PC. My summary there

Dont get me wrong i absolutely love the 360, Halo 3, GOW, Dead Rising, Bioshock all brilliant games, but games like Fable, PGR4, DOA4 will always fail to there Sony rival counterparts like history has already shown us time and time again. GT5 is looking life like to the point you cant tell the difference between virtual and reality, FFXIII enormous fanbase alone worldwide will have many ignoring Fable and DOA will just continue to add big titted busty female fighters to try and outsell its rival Tekken which focuses on gameplay as well as pretty fighters. R&C TOD has already proven to be the platformer of all platformers with its excellent reviews and lets not forget God of War 3 which will eventually reveal itself. Too many people focus on now but never seem to look at whats ahead.

The PS3 is an expensive console, so naturally it's sales figures are going to suffer. Not everyone can afford to shell out $1000 on an entertainment system. However with the new 40g cheaper console, this should help boost the figures.

I own all three next gen consoles and am happy with all of them, although the ps3 is my favorite system, mostly due to the quality of titles it's predecessor made available, which should no doubt carry onto the ps3's library in the future... games like Ratchet and Drakes Fortune to name a couple.

ps. to gdmatt, the gamecube was a lot more powerful than the N64, in fact it is more powerful than the ps2. Though yes the Wii is not much of a technical upgrade for nintendo, apart from the motion controls. But with great looking titles like Metroid & Galaxy around the corner, I am not too worried about it's processing capacity.

anyways i was talking about the graphics not how powerful it is.
