@Tyrone Hawk – ditto on Blu-ray and death to PS3. I’m holding out for a stand alone Blu-ray, I don’t see getting a PS3 really. I’ll have a Wii by the end of the year I think. Its different types of gaming, the Wii is really good for family stuff. I’ve already seen my mother-in-law & father-in-law play the Wii and have a blast and wouldn’t see them do that with the 360, just not the same type of games or appeal to them. My daughter likes both systems.

Fable 2, Halo Wars, and Gears of War 2 are high on my list for the rest of the year. I’ve never play GoW and I’ll more an likely look at getting that now as well. Viva Pinata 2, I can’t forget that title, its a given my daughter is going to want that too.

Woa, friend, a true gem with your analysis. Too bad some “analyst” never show the true reasoning for posting charts and trends based on who knows what.

I would like to add the following:
* Right on the HD issue, but I really hope that after covering the DRM problems, Microsoft can give us old 360 owners a way to upgrade our hard drives, maybe lowering the price on their current offer, or as I told you before, allowing a USB additional drive to be connected to the system, with all functions enabled
* I bet for sure, just as the guys on 360 Fanboy, that the 360 will get to the $250 price way long before the PS3 does
* On the networking side we have the edge. MS just need to organize and clean up the Marketplace even more so we can truly enjoy the experience (no more region locks, previews and pictures of ALL content available, etc.)
* I also don’t see anything on the PS3 and Wii radar for the rest of the year that can really stop our wave (Haze killing Halo? MGS besting Cliff and the Epic staff effort at GOW2?)

I believe we will have a shining end of the year just as 2007, and even more we can count on the following:
* Nintendo will keep ahead of us as they put their bet on the casual gamer and non-gamers with their approach
* Sony has been, is and will continue being too proud to accept the fact they’re on the loosing end and need to change tactics INMEDIATELY!!! (which they won’t do, as we know it already)

Wonder if other Blue-ray companies will finally accept that they are loosing money by keeping the PS3 as the cheapiest player in the market, and finally lower their prices. If that happens, Sony would have won the blue-ray war just to see the PS3 being killed by the same reason.

Take care.-

Deac, I never said Fable 2 will sway the masses… I said it will easily sell over a million because of all the Hardcore gamers that have a 360. ZERO of Microsoft’s big sequel games will sway the masses = They are all hardcore & Viva Pinata 2 doesn’t have mass appeal.

Microsoft has no chance, while Sony does with the games I listed.

Fable 2 won’t sway the masses like you believe. and 2010? this is just a few months prediction
