Brutal. New hardware cannot come soon enough -or we will have no industry left.

It's amazing people are still paying $270-300 for 7 year old PS3/360 consoles in 2013. Don't these people realize that Xbox 720/ PS4 are launching this holiday season? Why would anyone spend $270-300 on these outdated consoles when new consoles are likely to be $350-400 and last 6-7 years?

we need price drops or we won't have an industry left. I can't believe PS3 still hasn't reached the mass market $199 price. Sales will really pick up after that.

Exactly! It's laughable that 7 year old consoles still cost $270-300. Can you imagine if PS2, Xbox 1 or Gamecube cost $270-300 7 years after their launch? MS and Sony know that they can't sell $500-600 PS4/720 consoles in this economy, which means next generation consoles won't be much more expensive than this generation, but it's almost certain that Xbox 360's support will be cut as soon as possible once MS refocuses its efforts on 720. We need next gen consoles and price drops on PS3/360 to $149-179.

At this rate PS3 will surpass 360 in 5 months.

Well, at least DS isn't falling too much. Maybe it can overtake PS2. However I worry about the Wii. Can't wait to see WiiU sales explode with every exclusive released this year (I'm looking at you Dragon Quest X and Pikmin 2)

At the rate of Wii U sales, they are not going to reach their 5.5 million units target by March 2013. They'll be lucky to hit 3.5 million.

Ps3 will get little bumps with the big software coming but both it and Xbox need a price drop. I suspect one at e3 for both when full details are given on nextbox and ps4
