sony about to be dreamcast status next gen, they better go Nintendo route MS about to put the bullet into they dome.

Real numbers = real results = real domination. The consoles are at price parity, Americans have decided. This gets bigger next gen. 360 is going to catch the Wii this year and dig this, only 1.8 million behind the PS2 at the same time frame.

Next gen, as evidenced now, they are going to make more inroads in Europe, like when they had the heavy Japanese focus at the beginning of the 360 life.

Did't Sony get so tired of being embarrassed that they stopped releasing their NPD numbers?

and how many of the 360's sales were people rebuying (and I know lots of cats who did) after their shyt RROD'd.




PS3 overtook the 360 in worldwide sales, stop getting mad. Already said Xbox got the States on lock and I don't see it changing. Yall just reinforcing what people already knew.
