disappointing performance by MS in the Hardware section but best sales in software show 360's great games library and fan base. Go Gears Go!

Wii is still so strong
there will a tough fight b/w PS3 and 360 at the end of the year

 

[gamermind]

The main reason of success behind Sony , is not their tittles that is 3rings from Microsoft who's gonna buy ps3 Blu-ray in 5k.!!!! No one natural , so if Microsoft still maintain there prob of 3rings , they can still compete.
About Wii that is unique
