They don’t care about MGS4 and Gears of War 2. They see a low price tag on one of them “new console thingamajigs” and the truth is, its not the PS3"This quote sounds valid, until you realize that those parents were, and many still are, gamers too! Your premise relies on the assumption that the parents have no clue what that "new console thingamajig" is all about. Your assumptions may have held water 10 to 20 years ago, but are no longer valid. Time to update your premise. “We spend so much time discussing exclusive titles and graphics comparisons that we forget that at the end of the day it largely comes down to parents, standing in a store, staring at shelves with PS3’s and Xbox 360’s on them.

AVerage the sales numbers out for 28 million over the course of 36 months that totals an average of 777,000 a month world wide. now the PS3 with 22 million sold over the course of 24 months thats an average of 916,000 a month world wide. So yes the PS3 is catching up FAST! PLus how many of those 28 million 360s sold are rebuys. i know people who have bought 2 or more of this craptastic console. your article is flawed. so far to date the 360 has sold 28 million since Nov 2005, the PS3 has sold 22 million since Nov 2006.
