only if what he said would come true cause most of us r still struggling cause of this economy!

Considering I picked up a 360 arcade for $150CAD a couple weeks back for a friend (looked like bestbuy and futureshop were trying to clear their retail channel of falcons up here) it's a no-brainer why PS3 sales slip - especially where a large portion of most anticipated and previously exclusive titles are moving to the 360 platform if not dual released.



Damn I hate to see the shoddily made 360 win in this way :(

I have real problems with the 360. the technical issues are rediculous and paying twice to play online is a joke, but thats not what people see when they go to the store. They go to the store, see a wall of games for each side, both look almost exactly the same. Possibly one or two timed exclusives that they want. So they compare features and think, yep. $100 bucks savings. Possibly $100s if you buy online.



It's a circle of failure. I won't lower console prices because I want to make a profit. I can't make a profit because nobody is buying my brands games. Nobody is buying my games because my console is too expensive.



So, if Sony's breaking even:

Whats the hold up?



Historically they have gained an advantage by losing money on the console to win the games war. I can't help but wonder if it's the PSP failure haunting Sony. The, "I'm selling you MEDIA, not games" philosophy that filled the PSP games rack with UMD movies. The philosophy that draws them away from *just* making good games and instead leads them toward multimedia centers, avatar simulators and very pretty news readers.



/I own both, but I grew up with a Genesis with no hope of having an SNES, so I suppose it's the same deal with kids of this generation.
