  1. Comment - Microsoft claims 2-to-1 sales edge for GTA IV on Xbox 360

    The 360's install base is also much larger because the 360 has a far superior game library. If the PS3 had better games than the 360, it would probably have made up the difference pretty quickly.

    Every game developer agrees that the two systems are comparable in horsepower and feature set, but that the PS3 is unbelieveably harder to develop for. You are simply wrong that the 360 could be "previous generation" with two systems that are so comparable in raw processing power.

    I predict that Sony will release the PS3 late this Summer in Japan with a single terrible launch title. It will sell like mad, but their production lines will be unable to keep up with demand. They will be unable to launch in the US until Spring 2007, and Europe will need to wait until Fall 2007 before they see a launch. Their chip yield will be dismal - I'm guessing less than 60%, but they will try to fill the demand with chips that *almost* passed Quality Assurance. Soon after launch, the PS3 will have massive hardware failure rates, which will be resolved about the time it launches in the US. Their production lines for the Blu-ray discs will be fraught with error, and I'd say that about 20% of all game discs sold will not work in the machines because they can't get the aperture size for Blu-ray to work fast enough to read game content without MASSIVE load times. They'll push it, and they'll fail.

    I can tell you that I'm going to be happily playing my 360 while I read this tragedy unfold next Fall.

    They were selling modified original Xboxes, not the Xbox 360.
