Those refurbished xbox 360 consoles (they love to send out) are lucky packets. They either work for the next year or so, or they die on plug in. Mine died on plug in, and I was console-less for 2 months. I eventually ended up buying another one. In hindsight, probably not the smartest thing…

Why would you buy a new Xbox when MS replaces your broken one for free?

The rest of your post I do agree with though

It’s going to take a while for PS3 sales to stabilise. We can probably expect several spikes in hardware sales in the next few months, with the Christmas season, FFXIII, GOW3 and GT5. Things should go back to normal after that.

Well sooner or later we Xbox owners are gonna be like…. Screw that ,i want Quality of quantity. Think about why buy a new 360 every freaking year and a half, when you can buy your self a console where the failure rate is almost 3 times lower, with a library of games you wish your 360 had as well… Sure is tempting…

Do you mean overall worldwide LTD sales, or just monthly sales. Because LTD it is not possible, because
they might add another 1000 000 this year, but next year we should be back to 100 000 ps3 sold and say 80 000 xbox 360 per week, So in the first 6 months you might you can only have a diff of about 500 000, it is traditionaly the last 3 months of the year where you sell the most.

Just the comment “like they’ve always been seems a bit disingenuous, considering Sony dominated console gaming for a very long time, and it was actually MS that was in last place before the success of the 360.

PS3 is coming up in a big way now. Microsoft had better do something special with Natal or they know that they are going to possibly be in trouble.

Mark my words. The PS3 is gonna be in 2nd place before next year June. Thats my prediction, Think about it the elite and the PS2 slim are both more or less equal in price but, that Blu Ray player is looking mighty attractive now.. Not to mention the Christmas sales thats gonna Hit when FF13 releases in Japan December too!
