I will definately think about a ps3 if they drop the price soon. However I'm still undecided between the ps3 and 360...I want to decide soon because of Madden and NHL games

That's incorrect, MS has been making money off 360's for a few years now.

Yeah, from a quick Google search it looks like they were losing money per unit in 2005 and turned that around by the end of '06.

On the other, hand, of course, you have to wonder how much the RROD and related problems are costing them.

Xbox is absolutely turning a profit. It's the only thing that is in the E&D Division, and why that division had it's second profitable fiscal year in a row.

Sony is first out the gate with their PR spin.

"PS3 is just getting warmed up" and a sweet chart

lol, people have never bought into the value based argument for the ps3...ever. PS3 sales look like this even with the latest Killzone 2 and MGS4 bundle. But, it's like they picked that chart off a website or something, like who knew the psp only works with the ps3?

It's blatantly obvious Sony needs to get the price down for it to pick up in sales. It'll never pass the 360 in the US, but perception goes a long way.
