Default Crunch Time. PS3 v 360 v Wii

It seems to me that all 3 consoles are getting ready for a major battle in the lead up to xmas. Given the fact console sales normally double during the xmas period, will this be make or break time for Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo, The 360 has dropped its price and has big titles like Halo 3 and Bioshock out soon. The PS3 has dropped its price and has its own big games on the way and the Wii has its main franchise hits out before xmas. Discuss.

Both Patcher and myself predict another PS3 price drop prior to Christmas there's probably no AAA/established titles though.

360 has the games, but it also has the bad press which can put people off and the price drop didn't have the same effect as the PS3s.

Wii will own Christmas, again.

One 'ring' to rule them all, and in the darkness pwn them

ok, so you're not talking about halo. I just got sick of xbots pimping their xmas lineup, and including halo in there.

1) PS3 has Rachet and Clank I think that is AAA, could be wrong.

2) You underestimate the Halo 3 I fully expect September to have 360 Wii PS3 as the order of sales.

3) I agree

I guess, but I mean from a system sales point of view. Heavenly Sword will get great scores, but I doubt it will sell consoles.

Maybe for that 1 month, but as a whole, it won't win Christmas, as it belongs to Wii and DS, maybe PS2 will sneak a load of sales.

360 will own the holidays this year. Wii second. PS3 last.
