[QUOTE="Ashrem Bayle, post: 2947741, member: 3103"] Conjecture on the part of Sony itself, as well as multiple developers working on both systems. I think it's safe to assume they know what they are talking about... November 2005 326,000 December 2005 281,441 January 2006 249,000 February 2006 161,000 March 2006 192,000 April 2006 295,381 May 2006 220,877 They are still suffering shortages in some areas, but the 360 is on track for Microsoft's projected sales... Non-FPS games that got great reviews: (Non necessarily exclusive, but you can buy them today) PGR Dead or Alive Oblivion (It has a optional 1st person perspective, but it is hardly an FPS) Kameo Burnout Fight Night Tony Hawk LotR: Battle For Middle Earth Tomb Raider Right now, these non-exclusive games are still moving 360 systems because A: The PS3 doesn't exist, and B: A lot of people don't want to buy a $1000+ PC to play these games. Games always sell better on consoles than on PCs. Personally, I play a lot of non-FPS games on my 360, and the fact that you can buy them on PC doesn't mean jack to me because I'm not going to upgrade my PC to be able to run them. You can get a 360 for the price of a good video card... People with a high-end gaming machine, and a 360, are the extreme minority. And the PS3 hasn't been released. Therefore, these games being non-exclusive really doesn't seem as critical as you guys are making it out to be. After the PS3 comes out, it will be a much bigger deal. But if the 360 has already dominated the market, it'll be a up hill battle for the PS3 all the way. Exclusives or not. Also, I keep hearing that Sony has all these great exclusive franchises that will bury the 360, but oddly enough, I can't think of many. FF & Metal Gear? Sure. They've also got God of War and Devil May Cry.... but then what? [/QUOTE]
