But come on... that is a very rare event. Every other week for the past several months the PS3 consistently outsells 360 in Japan by MC figures (I just verified this on garaph.info). Taste in games in obviously subjective... You said I'm biased and I probably am to some degree, but you are as well, especially if none of the previewed PS3 exclusives except possibly GoW interest you... I still enjoy hearing your perspective though. Jimmy…

Because, outside of ODST there is nothing on the 360 that really interests me in the slightest. Not to sound like a raging fanboy but come on. You are telling me that a "major" gaming publication wouldn't want to put GT5 or Uncharted 2 on their cover? Uncharted may be a niche title (know to only us gamers) but GT5 has a huge following. And getting back to ODST, $60 is a lot for what is basically an expansion pack, but that's for a different post in a different place.

It blows anything Microsoft, Nintendo, or the rest of the industry is doing this year away." Whoa now. I was with you til I read all that. The slim is quite nice yes, for new purchasers. But the lineup of exclusive games from a consumer perspective??? Sure from a biased PS3Blogs perspective I'm sure they blow you guys away. As a consumer who owns all three consoles and doesn't give a lick about who's making the games... I currently have NO plans to buy anything on the PS3 this year. I have intentions on buying about 5 360 games so far and probably 2 for the Wii. Off hand I can't think of a SINGLE title that would garner a cover story from a major gaming publication, a few that might but none that are guaranteed. From a "consumer perspective" I can't even think of a COMBINATION of Sony exclusives that will rival Halo ODST. I'm not saying they're bad games, only that surely Halo is going to garner the most attention this year (outside of multi-platform games like Modern Warfare 2). As a consumer, I'm not blown away by Sony in the slightest. And even starting out in the new year, the first PS3 game I can think of that I intend to buy in the near future is God of War 3 (a huge game for me) but that'll probably be overshadowed by BioShock 2 and Mass Effect 2. @Darrin “The $299 Slim PS3 and PS3’s 2009 lineup of exclusive games is absolutely amazing from a consumer perspective.

I would've assumed the opposite, but I guess that's why I'm not a wall street shark! Just read on GameSpot that the 360 is outselling the PS3 in Japan. By almost 2:1. Maybe the announcement of the slim is killing sales in the short term. I know we saw a few stacks of PS3 with the new price at Best Buy yesterday, and I felt really bad should anyone buy them. They'd probably be kicking themselves in a little more than a week! http://www.gamespot.com/news/6215961.html?part=rss&tag=gs_news&subj=6215961 It is interesting.
