Seriously get off the pipe man, if you don't like GT5 that's your opinion, but it's not **** and never has been **** bcuz it's the most best leading racing game series. Wait till the release of both games then make a comparison, I love how you just decide right away it's ****. To the guy who said PS3 fanboys cling to their blurays, we have games like MGS4, Killzone 2, GT5 bcuz of Bluray. You sound like a Honda kid defending a Vtec seriously lmao.

MGS4 was how long ago? The next Metal Gear is coming out for the Xbox!! There is a new Halo coming out actually 2 more coming very soon. Say what you want if you don't like the series or not they will sell like crazy!!

Again I point to Tekken 6. Tekken was designed on PS3 hardware yet there is no Graphical differences what at all between the 2 versions. Namco has always been pro Sony so I wouldn't call them being biased.

Look at the PS2 sells still but not the most technical system out there. Hell for about 2 years the PS2 was still outselling the PS3. Its about installed user base. Not about Graphic power Microsoft learned that last round. They had the better system but people still flocked to the PS2. It doesnt matter how much untapped power there is in the PS3 if no one takes advantage of it it might as well as not exist. Obviously sony isnt even taking advantage of it if you still talking about its still in there.

Installed user base is what matters! People have the console in there homes and playing it.

Here are the numbers. This is from 6th of August 09

Console installed bases in NA and Europe according to Activision Blizzard - Gamezine.co.uk

Following Activision Blizzard's financial reports, where the company revealed that apart from World of Warcraft, the Xbox 360 topped their revenue input, the company now brings us console installed bases.

In their 2008 report, Activision's president Mike Griffeth predicted that the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 would sell 8 million units each in 2009 and 16 million units for the Nintendo Wii (North America and Europe only):

"For calendar year 2009, we expect the installed base of hardware in North America and Europe will be up 8 million units for the PS3 and up 8 million units for the Xbox 360," he said.

However, the company has now altered their predictions to 9 million for the Xbox 360, 7 million units for the PlayStation 3, 15 million units for the Nintendo Wii, and 21 million units for the PSP and Nintendo DS combined.

The company's latest report also brings us the current installed bases for each of the consoles, based on NPD and Gfk reports. Of course, this means that only North America and most of Europe are included, but it's still interesting to compare the numbers to the reports released by the platform holders themselves, with the gap between the Xbox 360 and PS3 growing from 7.6 million units to 11 million units.

The difference between the following totals and the worldwide statistics reported by the platform holders comes to 12.6 million Nintendo Wii's, 4.4 million Xbox 360's and 7.8 million PlayStation 3's.

Worldwide installed bases according to NPD and Gfk*

# Nintendo Wii - 40 million
# Xbox 360 - 27 million
# PlayStation 3 - 16 million
# Handhelds - 96 million

According to this report the gap will widen not close.
