Not entirely true. You are just using the $199 SKU. The average Xbox 360 pricetag is ABOVE the PS3 pricetag.

read it.
mindblowing success when you think about the PS3 price cut and that the Xbox 360 has the same prices since 2008!
Now release Halo 4, cut the price for every SKU, cut the price of the standalone kinect sensor and you have another record year in 2012.
LOL denial mode is on!
mouse and keyboards... really? You could have said Windows phone, but mouse and keyboards? Logitech, the biggest manufacturer in the world, reported a WHOPPING 65 Mio USD profit for an entire year. You are telling me that the 528 million USD profit (for 3 months!) are that high due to the profit of the second largest maufacturer of mouse and keyboards for 3 months?!
Come on now. Just be honest for a second.
How should they reduce prices? The problem is the profit margin is killed by the strong yen. Lower prices will kill them without a significant reduction of costs.
Please don't make this to "thank the lord we have a new ceo, sony will be on top soon - phrase". They just won't. It is about saving their business first.
Just the pure facts my friends:
1. Microsoft Profit as a whole company: 6.62 Billion
2. Xbox Division Profit: 528 Million
3. 360 shipments: 8.2 million
4. January to December 2011 - 14.9m 360 Shipped, YOY increase from 2010.
5. Lifetime 360 Shipments = 65.8 Million
1. Sony Profit as a whole company: 2.038 Billion LOSS
2. PS Division Profit: 1.1 billion LOSS
3. PS3 Shipments: 6.5 million
4. January to Decem...
Drive it in the reds then.
I think Sony needs a vision where to go. They need to make their products benefit each other much more than they are doing now. Check Apple with iphone, ipad, ipod or MS with Xbox, Windows, Windows Live Messenger, Windows phone and Skype.
There is not much going on between vaio, psp and PS3.
Why all the disagrees? I only stated facts. Okay the only mistake was that the first PS3 exclusive is at no. 26 instead of 23 but something tells me that this was not the issue.
North America is Xbox country! First PS3 exclusive at No. 23 made me lol. Halo Reach alone has about the same number of preorders as all PS3 exclusives combined.
slightly win for xbox 360.
expected PS Move to be in there.
I actually liked the miniDisc :D
MS shipped about 15 million consoles and so will Sony. The gap did not decrease in the past 12 months.
You just defined "Kinect does not count" nonsense, because it raped PS Move in every single aspect. And you include the older brother "Xbl does not count either" because it rapes PSN as well.
Add Minecraft and Ryse and you have a pretty good lineup in January already. The hate against MS on N4G is insane.
damn, need to finish skyrim before this one releases. And then there is still batman Arkham City, Rage, halo CEA and battlefield 3 which I haven't even played. NO TIME DAMN IT!
Halo 4, Alan Wake, Fable, Steel Battalion, The Witcher 2, Star Wars Kinect. So there is more than just Halo.
Plus we don't know anything about Rare, Lionhead's second project or Twisted Pixel new game.
Add GTA V, Max Payne 3, Resident Evil 6, CoD, Mass Effect 3, Ghost Recon Future Soldier, BioShock Infinite, SoulCalibur, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Metal Gear Rising and you have a pretty damn good lineup with 16 games for 12 months and we are just in Janu...
not gonna happen.
I had some of the best gaming experiences thanks to XBLA games.
but yeah, "Kinect does not count" just met his older brother "Xbox Live Arcade does not count!"
Working fine in germany. Just like all the trash talk about xbox live, this is copy paste stuff on n4g.
Some people are just repeating what they here on the internet without even testing the new dashboard. It is wonderful and the new apps ar awesome. This update is another reason why PSN will be left behind for the next years as well.
The advertisements are not ruining anything at all. You don't have to get through them. What the hell are you guys u to? Just ignore something like SkyGo, Voice Control, Beacons, youtube etc etc. Because of MINOR advertisements - mostly for ga...
I think this scenario is likely. They sold crazy numbers with a PS3 that even saw a pricecut.
The only thing that could ruin this is a Xbox 3 announcement. Other than that I don't think Star Wars, Halo, Fable, Steel Battalion, great marketing, price cut, next wave of Kinect titles and thousands of Apps can be stopped.
Especially the Apps will become an important factor for MS and the industry overall.
I think MS is in a comfortable positi...
