Hmm Ps3 still outsold the 360, maybe the tide is turning.

me thinks by January PS3 will be selling about the same as 360, if not less.

PS3 is gonna soar high in November since GoW Collections gets released. I think December and Jan. will be the real combats with no games to release exclusively for both systems (correct me if I’m wrong).

Well I’m not sure about 360 exclusives but I know that MAG comes out in January and Heavy Rain + White Knight Chronicles come out in February.

I wouldn’t be expecting much from either Heavy Rain or WKC (especially the latter). MAG could be a hit, but it’ll need good word of mouth and marketing.
Is Heavy Rain really out in Feb btw? That’s good news, earlier than I thought it would be.

Seems that rumours of the Wii’s demise were greatly exaggerated.

Plus FF13 in Japan will make it sell like 2 or 3m in bundles alone so it will be soaring
