If they did that the numbers wouldn't sound half as impressive

8 million over PS3? That's hardly a suprise given that most people can't afford a PS3, though Sony do not seem to have grasped that most basic fact. Perhaps if they lowered the price instead of making the HDD larger than anyone needs (160Gb, who needs that much, seriously?) they would actually sell consoles. They say they will make a profit this fiscal year. Hirai better hope so 'cos no doubt there's some pissed executives breathing down his neck.

Impressive about Xbox Live though. Its a decent online service so the figures reflect that. Seems to be raking in the cash for Microsoft too.

Why'd they mention New Xbox 'Experience' though? Its crap.

Re: Daz - "If they did that the numbers wouldn't sound half as impressive " lol, I'm sure some people just go down the article and for the single bit of negativity, and then state the blindingly obvious. Anyway.

I agree with HyperTails; PS3 is very expensive, I was playing my brothers over the Christmas break, and couldn't really see what it gives that my Xbox 360 doesn't. Also, the thing I love about my Xbox is the arcade games to download on Live, my girlfriend and I have had many drunken nights giggling like school kids on that.

Well done Microsoft; I didn't believe they could do it with the Xbox, but I was wrong!

I now have all 3 and each one has it's good and bad points, neither one being better nor worse than the other, unless you wanna count Sony allowing me to use my maestro card and MS not... which I do, IT SUCKS, sure nintendo don't allow it either but a large portion of their audience ain't old enoth for one anyway.
