Two for you, but 40% more for me, then 8 million for you

Not to be outdone completely after the solid thrashing Microsoft gave them, Sony told Eurogamer (and some other people I assume) that the Playstation 3’s sales are up 40% from the previous year even though their December 2008 wasn’t as good as December 2007. However, the sneaky foxes at Microsoft caught wind of Sony trying to save some pride, so they proceeded to crush them with a letter addressed to Sony that probably said:

8 Million

Love, Microsoft

Worldwide, the Xbox 360 has sold 8 million more consoles than the Playstation 3. I have a feeling this situation will be changing in the upcoming months, but as of this point in time, Microsoft can legally kick sand in Sony’s face and call it a loser.

Lets hope Sony picks up the pieces and welds them back to together permanently.

PS3 is looking strong this year, this year could be quite different for them.

With sony projected to have a loss in excess of USD 1 Billion for the year (the biggest in the companies history) I can’t see Sony cutting the price anytime soon.

At the beginning of last year, many people were saying how 2008 will be the year of the PS3… but it didn’t quite happen like that. Last year Sony had Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank, and MGS4… I’m not so sure this year is going to be the year of the PS3 again.

It’ll be the year of the Wii/DS once again.. and I think the 360 is going to sell better, hardware and software, than the PS3 again.

There are a ton of 3rd party PC/360 exclusives coming this year, all the old PC only devs looking for a financial boost. I’m guessing we’ll see quite a few lemons but I’m expecting a few gems in the rough as well.
