Something interesting you said Torrence was that you thought PS3 would be around 8 million behind Xbox 360 which is what the difference, do you think that now, they'll sell evenly despite PS3's greater price or do you think there'll be more spikes in PS3 sales which a greater number of confirmed exclusives in 2009 and Xbox 360 will sell more consistently? Sorry about the wall of text... HipHop is right... the PS3 was selling more in the start of the year despite the higher price in early 2008 and Europe and Japan is a huge determining factor in the sales... PS3 is doing better in Europe than Xbox 360(but Wii is kicking both their asses) and a price drop will begin to close the gap.... not outright, but it will.

They sold 10 million their first year and now the 360 is less than 10-mil ahead. Sony is slowly cutting into their lead. If you don't count 360's first year then Sony is dead even with Microsoft. That tells me that Sony is doing pretty damn good especially with a high price tag. Both systems are doing the same amount of sales per year.

But want exactly is the situation. This is my opinion Xbox 360: 25 mil / 3yrs = 8.3 per year PS3: 17 mil / 2yrs = 8.5 per year at the highest price point this gen Where is all the doom and gloom coming from? Are my calculations off?

That's your opinion and I don't feel that it's bashing. Earlier episodes were biased though but I will try to forget about those.I was explaining that everyone is calling you a fanboy due to your heavy focus on bashing ps3. It wasn't really present in this warzone though but the topic did come up. @Torrence

CD was always knocked because of the loading screens that were non existent on the previous cartridges... a part of me always said they should just go back to a new version of the cartrige, with 5 gigs of free space to save ur game and what not. if they could stream cartriges these days that would be better! basically portible hard drives. what do u think? metal gear? absolutely right, i never got why they didn’t give the option to just install all the acts once, instead of over writing the previous each time u swicthed, that pissed me off!
