    I can see that Sony has slight advantage that the PS3 will outsell the 360 by end of 08, hope for the best.

    Looks like a pretty good competition between the Xbox360 and the PS2.  Microsoft should be pleased.

    personally I think the PS3 will do much better than the 360, those numbers aren't low enough for the 360

    I hope the PS3 continues to gain on the 360, that way it will force lazy developers to finally learn how to program on the black beast and make it their lead platform.  I plan on buying a second PS3 this fall so that I can save the wear on my precious bc 60gb.

    In Japan, PS2 is outselling Xbox36o and the Xbox360 is at the bottom.

    That means the ps3 will have gained an extra million on the 360 which is not much considering how many 360`s have been sold, sony need a big price cut if it will ever catch up to the 360,exclusive games help but money talks in todays climate.
