PS3 delayed in Europe, no 1080p games, and 5 years to recoup losses

[Paco]

Then why are the monthly numbers not seen as being all that good? I'd need to see the numbers myself, but the PS2 had no real competition at the time (the DC was dead the day the PS2 came out...) while the 360 is competing against, well, the PS2, which is still selling quite well... it's far too early to say that the 360 is going to be a great success in Europe and I don't think it'll get anywhere near the PS2's total sales numbers, either in the US or Europe. Xbox numbers sure, but PS2? That'd imply either a huge growth in the industry or Microsoft taking over from Sony on the top, and I don't know how likely that really is...

Ermmm...well, I think the numbers speak for themselves. The FACT that the 360 sales are relative to the PS2's early days bode pretty well for Microsoft if you ask me.

The N64 was on its last legs and the DC was dead. Sony was only competiting withitself. Fast forward to today and the XBox is dead, the GC is on its last legs, and the PS2 has been losing momentum since last year.

Microsoft doesn't have to take Sony from the top, they only have to take more market share away from Sony. That's going to continue happening due to the NON-gap in graphic capability but the huge price difference. Sony got arrogant, they will be fucked.
