Good news. But again, with my opinion from working retail. The 360's are in a gigantic backorder from Christmas. Stores don't have them so they're not selling. And not that the 360 hopefulls are then picking up PS3's, just the sales are overtaking 360 from their lack of consoles out. I think the lack f knowledge the general public has about the PS3 will continue to hurt it's sales at least until Q3 this year. But hopefully the additional price cut that's supposed to happen in fall/winter plus all the fantastic games coming out later this year will swing PS3 around and show huge gaps between itself and the 360.

PlayStation 3 with 34.8% of the market and Xbox with 29.8%, they each have about a third of the market. No body is going anywhere, Market share only matters if someone is going away. And I don't see that happening. No game developer is going to drop either platform because of sales. I think Playstation 3 got a boost with Blu-ray blessed as the winner of the new Movie format battle, and Halo bumped Xbox for the holidays. Each platform is locking into their niche. Now if the Wii adds a first person shooter better then Halo, and adds a Blu-ray drive for just a few dollars more, well then it will get interesting. But my bet is you will see motion sensitive controlers coming to both the Xbox and the PS3 soon. To me the real question is when will Microsoft give up on the HD format, or at least start selling a Blu-ray add on drive.



Pretty sure the PS3's controller is motion sensitive. But I'm not sure

Personally I think the "backorder" swill is just crap. I've been to two major metropolitan areas in as many days. In these cities, plus the city where I live 360s are NOT scarce. PS3s, on the other hand? The shelves aren't bare, but they don't seem to be gathering dust on those shelves, either. I certainly can't say I've noticed any shortage through January.

Anecdotal? Sure is, but if there were this shortage that M$ blames for the sluggish sales I think you'd see SOME hint of it in major stores in major cities

best part is when he whips out his HD DVD's and starts trashing blu ray and praising HD. Makes me wanna find him and laugh in his face.

360 is cheap garbage. end of story. In the end however, the 360 is actually more expensive, since you need to be 100 add ons to get most the features the ps3 has by default.

Wow... what a blatant fanboy. I enjoy the 360 more than my PS3 (for games) but damn... I don't go out and start making stupid videos on youtube. Gotta love the idiot saying that HD DVD is so great.... oh yeah.. ITS DEAD!

I have all 3 consoles so I don't need to resort to stupid fanboyism... Fanboys piss me off.

Not only a fanboy but from what I see, he's a hypocrite for responding to a PS3 fanboy with his own fanboy video.

i would say someone who spouts off rumors and gossip as fact. views his side as 100% right and the other side as 100% wrong, no middle ground. will NEVER acknowledge things wrong with his side or things done right with the competition. VIEWS competition as the "enemy" instead of a driving force to make his product better. thinks anyone on the "other team" is obviously a moron. delusions of granger somewhere in there . cares more about outing the other side as "junk" then he does about offering creative criticism or ideas to make his stuff better. treats whatever the focus of his fandom is as if it was his child and he had a vested interest in it. easily offended and retreats behind propaganda. views himself as something other then your "average consumer" and is in reality very far from being an "educated consumer"

or to put it simply........the boy in the bubble.

Isn't that a very old video ? Like .. 1 year + old or something?

I mean, the guy thinks that Blu Ray can only have Mpeg2 as codec ...
And then to say that HD DVD doesn't need bigger space because they have the holy grail that is VC-1. LMAO
