"you ever think that ppl actually buy there PS3's to well play games"
I don't know, do they? It seems like the majority of exclusive titles that come out do not sell. So from the information given to the public, I say no.
"the gap is 5 million and will only shrink with KZ2 and price cut"
Same exact thing was stated for every game of 2008. And I believe there was even a price cut in 2008 for the PS3 as well. (Haze, LBP, MGS4, SOCOM, Naruto, Valkyria Chronicles, Resistance 2, etc.)
Xbox 360: 28.45m
PlayStation 3: 21.35m
28.45m - 21.35m = 7.10m

"it does. its obvious that it wasnt the ps3's price that helped it sell. must be the games."
Or the function of it being a blu-ray player. Since it's already proven that it's major games of '08 that sold really well was uhh.. Metal Gear Solid 4. I think just now Little Big Planet broke 2 million. So yeah. It cant be the games either.
Every single one of you is wrong about EA being a multi-platform company.
Facts:
-EA has already published exclusive games for the 360. (Left 4 Dead)
-EA has already published exclusive games for the Wii. (SIMS Animals, Boom Blox, Need For Speed: Nitro, etc.)
-EA has already published exclusive games for the PC. (Spore, SIMS, Need For Speed: World Online, etc.)
-EA has never made an exclusive game on the PS3.

"but innacurate does not mean wrong."
Yes, it does rofl. But I would love what your smoking
@Blacktigra
Did Microsoft own publishing rights to BioShock? Oh, they didn't? Ok.
Does Microsoft own publishing rights to Mass Effect 1? Oh, they do? Ok.
That was built around the Xbox 360 controller and is classified to have "disturbingly intuitive controls."
Enough said.
I'm sorry but what? rofl..
It's an RTS game.. you know.. a strategy game. It's not meant to be a game like gears of war where you will run up and take cover and blind fire.. no. It's a game about building your armies and sending waves upon waves of forces to take down your foes. I mean, have you even played a RTS game?
I really wanted to ignore your comment based on how horribly stupid it was, but I just cant anymore. Both of those companies had exclusive 2nd party developing contracts with Sony. Do you even know WHY they were canceled? Because of the 2 PS3 EXCLUSIVES released on the console that did horrible in sales AND in scores. Haze & Lair.
Oh, and seriously?
WarDevil (Never heard of it)
Marvel Universe Online (Hell no to that kind of MMO. The others didn't do too we...
"How do you explain 17 million consoles in it's first two years vs the 360's 13 million?"
If the 360 sold around 10mil this year and it's been out for 3 years and has close to a 30 million install base then uhh..
Xbox 360:
Year 1 - 10 million
Year 2 - 7.65 million
Year 3 - 10.8 million (was just announced for Dec. '08)
= 28.45 million (was just announced for Dec. '08)
Xbox 360's first 2 years - 17.65 millio...

I guess if it sells 2 million MORE each year then yeah. But this is only 3 years away and both consoles sell well.
It isn't? If you look at overall sales, the 360 has been progressing and the PS3 has actually been slowing down.. As seen from '07-'08.
"Killzone 2 is the mean end of a very large and lethal battering ram and there isn't a damn thing MS can do about it now. The last hurrah has come and gone."
LOL.. Yeah, they totally cant do anything about it now. That's why they're releasing:
Halo Wars
Star Ocean: The Last Hope
Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost & Damned
Exclusive Fallout 3 DLC
THEN comes the multi-platform games that will (as always) sell more on the 360:
...
"4. will last 10 years"
I sure as hell hope not. If that were the case, then the new Xbox and possibly even the new Wii could perform better than the PS3. Yay for technology occurring logarithmically?
LOL That's your excuse? rofl. Alan Wake is going to blow Gears of War 2's graphics out of the water. Not to mention it's already a bigger graphical achievement than GeOW2.
really? I wasn't aware Alan Wake ran on the UE3 :)
"If you thought Fable 2 was a good looking game, your blind."
Are YOU blind? I mean seriously, his comment was moronic, but Fable 2 is a VERY nice looking game. Hell, it's considered a graphics powerhouse even for PC.
"Fable 2 uses very demanding FX effects, procedural animation hair and cloth HDR grass shaders etc. etc.
Fable 2 will have some very demanding requirements to be played on the highest settings. Remember its still a port, It...
Except for the fact that EA already stated that there would be no port of Mass Effect 1 to the PS3. Also, did you know that EA makes A LOT of exclusive games? The only console that has never had an exclusive game from EA is the Sony brand.
PC - Spore, SIMS, Need for Speed: World Online, etc.
360 - Left 4 Dead
Wii - Need for Speed (new game), Boom Blox, SIMS Animals, etc.
PS3 - ?
