"But a slim model won't fix RRoD, because that's where Microsoft gets the $$$ from. But really, does 360 need a slim model? It wasn't a freakin mammoth like the original PS3. It could have done without the external power supply though. "
Really? How is M$ making money from RROD when they cover it for 3 years? Pretty sure extending the warranty and the cost of fixing the consoles has hurt them more than it has helped them. Also a slim model is a great way to get more s...
Whenever the next Gen Xbox comes out M$ needs to do a remake of Halo with upgraded graphics and online multiplayer!! It will bring back memories of Halo lan parties that many Xbox gamers use to do!
@Icyhot.. When and what article did I bl*w natals nuts off? If you check my your PM i told you i'm one of the few 360 fans who think Natal is NOT going to be a system seller! I doubt both move and natal will introduce the 360 and PS3 to the casual gamers/non gamers like the Wii has.. Both consoles are made for real gamers and Sony and M$ is trying to get the appeal of the non gamers like the Wii but it won't happen. All these non gamers already have the Wii and if they don't they would rather...
@Dark- Sure sony will say that the move has been in developement for years.. You think they are really going to come out and say "after the Wiimote sucess we decided to copy it!"
"Oh and by the way in no way do sales mean a product is good. It means a product was well advertised but not necessarily that it's good."
You really think the Wiis commercials was good advertising? LOL!! I thought theose commercials was stupid.. The reason the Wii is ...
You can put all the numbers you have now but what it comes do is M$ and Nintendo improved their sales this Generation while the PS3 has lagged behind in sales. Sony went from 1st place the last 2 generations with the PS2 and PS1 to currently last! Say whatever it is that makes you feel better about your PS3 but we all know who's improved this generation and who shot themselves in the foot! Seriously N4G is a magnet for Sony Fanboys!
@below- Isn't that what business is all abou...
Wow you're just pulling number off your butt now! Halo 3 not a system seller? You must be kidding me! 360 sales nearly doubled the first month Halo 3 came out! Quit talking out of your butt please..
"Turning to hardware sales for the month, the top sellers for September 2007 in North America are as follows:

If the rumored 360 slim are true then the PS3 is doomed to be 3rd place this gen!
@strangeevil What makes you think if the PS3 does a price drop the 360 can't do it as well??
Also Sony has brought out their big guns in MGS4, FF13, GoW3, KZ2, Heavy Rain, PS3 slim and the 360 is still leading in sale! Other than GT what else does the PS3 have to try and overtake the 360?
Buu.. buu.. buuuut the PS3 has been beating the 360 in sales since 2007! If that's ...
2 years from now this race will be over.. I expect the new consoles to come out by then but of course if the PS3 does take over the 360 sony fans will put that on M$ fanboys faces!
"1. Yes M$ does offer a 3 year warranty. The warranty is for only 1 fix. After that your on to the next one."
Wow how about you do some research before you start posting lies like this..Ever heard of 360 owners who go through like 3-6 360s because they keep having to send it back? Yes it sad and very embarassing for M$! However the console is covered for 3 years(3RRoD/E74) and can break as many times and it will still be covered!
"you mean the third place console that is selling over 10 millions units per year and has sold more on its laifetime than the 360 at a similar timeframe, even the one year head start by 360 wont prevent PS3 to reach over 100 million sold in 10 years. I trully doubt the 360 is a 10 year console or that it will ever reach 75 million units "
LOL!! ITs funny how PS3 fans when it first launched disregarded the 1 year headstart of the 360 and always brought up how the Dreamcast...
Good thing for Sony but bad thing for cosumer.. why is that you ask? Well remember when the PS3 first came out and it was the cheapest blu ray player you can get and most of the people who bought them up were HT fanatics(that's why PS3 games don't sell as well as 360 games).. So 6 months after it launched they drop it by $100 and now you can buy blu ray players for like $100.. So that would suck if you bought a PS3 mainly for blu ray movies which till about recently was the only reason to buy...
And guess what you are playing Mass Effect 2 on? A PC which its OS is made by M$ who also makes the 360.. So M$ still got your money.. whats your point?
Move and the Wii-mote are so much alike that I can see how it would be fun at first but after awhile hardcore gamers just want to play games for the storyline, gameplay, graphics and online MP.. I think the move will get old after awhile. Natal is something new so dont know how its going to work out but I think from the looks of it its probably just going to be the same the Wii and Move. Fun at first but is a dust collector in the long run!
Lol.. If sony has been winning the war since 2008 why are they still in 3rd place 2 years later?
"and sony said that the PS3 was unhackable "
Actually it was just the blind Sony fans on this site.. They're probably the same people who say OSX is unhackable..
Sony has already dropped their bombs.. KZ2, MGS4, LBP, Home, Resistance, Motorstorm, Heavenly Sword, Heavy Rain, GoW 3, PS3 slim, Price drops and their still in 3rd place.. When M$ drops the 360 slim+natal+halo reach+alan wake= nail in the coffin for the PS3 being thrid this gen.. Kinda sad going from PS2 that was overwhelming 1st place to Third.. PS3 is still a great gaming consoles but Sony just got too overconfident this gen. Congrats to Nintendo and M$ for puttings Sony in check!
If this is true then this is going to be the nail in the coffin for the PS3 being in 3rd place this gen.. Gears + Natal + Halo Reach + 360 Slim= Dead last for the ps3!
Not really a big halo fans but Reach is looking decent.. I'll probably give it try but that's about it..
