Well I see what he is saying about the 360 being easy to develop for and they definitely give developers more support. However, as with the ps2 (if you remember correctly) developers said the same thing about the dreamcast and how easy that was to develop for and how HARD the ps2 was to develop for.

Now I know this is different generations with different players, but the 360 will never outsell the ps brand this generation. there are three simple and glaring reasons for this:

1. MS has done nothing to take the user base away from Sony and the playstation brand. they are about the same for what they did with the first xbox. They have about 10 million consoles out there in almost two years... thats not great by anyones standards. thats about 20 million in four years. Saying this we see, if these selling trends continue, that MS has done nothing to rob sony of its user base. I think that this gen has started a little early. We see this because of the lack of people moving over from last gen (roughly 150 million). When they finally decide to do so (late next year) what console will they buy? One who has a life span of about another year maybe two or one that just taking off? They will stick with the ps brand for the same reasons they chose the ps1 and ps2... the diversity of games and the knowledge that sony will back their console.

2. This brings me to my next point. The 360 (as we know it, they could always add things to the 360, however at some point its just a new console) will have a shelf life of a little over 4 years. This short life alone will make it sell less than the ps3.

3. MS doesnt have worldwide support. Although they do have strong support in the states they lack sells in the rest of the world. FOr this reason they will never sell as many consoles as sony.

SO you see EA developers can say whatever they want, because in the end the ps brand will beat out the 360 in sells and then they will praise and praise the sony brand for making them rich.

Im not sure what this has to do with the madden game but i thought that I should say this in response to your post.

I think the sheer number of users that havent switched from last gen to this gen shows us this.

Console sales pick up drastically as prices decline so your calculations are incorrect, if they werent you could say the PS3 would sell less. November is nearing and the PS3 will probably have 6 mil worldwide by the and thats the one year mark multiply that by four thats 24 mil in four years which we all kno wont be the sales figure by that point it will be way more. O and btw the 360 shipped 10 mil by its one year mark by your standards thats 40 mil in 4 years not 20. IMO the 360 will have a longer shelf life than its predecessor ur going by wut Xbox's life looked like and thats not the proper model they only dropped it to get a jump on things for this gen. Anywhoo I disagree with you totally, if you have only 1 disagree its from me.

you have some good points. I just hope they don't drop the 360 for the "720?". MS didn't really set a good precedent with the xbox dropping it as hard as they did. That's one of the main reasons why i didn't get the 360.

I hope they drop it for the 720 personally as long as its backward compatible. I mean the way tehnology is moving forward so fast I dont want a console lasting 10 years. I want another one 5 years from now that is twice as good as the ones out now, if not more.

I mean do any of you guys still have a computer you bought 10 years ago? A cell phone? A digtal camera? Any electronic besides a tv maybe? And I'm sure if you still do have a 10 year old tv its no longer your main one, but like a spare bedroom tv.
