You know what I just thought of...? I wonder what its like on the Japanese forums. Like, do you really think the Japanese 360 fans are like, "Dude, did you hear Resident Evil 5 is going to be on the 360 now? Its game over for Sony in America!" Or the PS3 fans, "Just wait. LittleBigPlanet is going to release and you can kiss the 360 goodbye!" I just can't bring myself to imagine that Japan actually gives a crap and that they have these stupid arguments.

That's intersting...fanboy wars in Japan translated...I wonder what they say. I think the only reason Sony is plunging in sales is the price. Let's face it...if you are after gaming and you aren't after a particular Sony title or blu ray, why buy the PS3 when the 360 has plenty of great games and a much lower price.

I have all next gen consoles but the math seems obvious to me for those with limited funds.

5 - Yes, We Get It
Posting article after article after article about how well the 360 is selling now that it's been placed on clearance all over the world is really interesting. The fact that Microsoft is throwing money at Japanese RPG developers in order to crack that market is obviously helping too.

We get it. It's not news more than once a week.

6.1 - Lies?
I would talk about lies if I were you, what with the year long denial of the RRoD problem by Microsoft.

6.2 - You DO realize that the biggest lie here...
...is the one you tell yourself about the 360 outperforming the PS3 over in Japan because it's the "better system..." right?

And are you people STILL ignoring the BIG PINK ELEPHANT in the corner? You know... the one with the "Mario" cap and blue overalls, munching on green polka-dot mushrooms?

The second biggest lie would be Microsoft declaring themselves the "winner" of this console ware despite that very fact...
