What is your view on the subject?
Still it appears the xbox is ahead of sales, even with the slim on the market.
That to me isn't good, neither for playstation 3 or for xbox gamers, as sony's efford has gone not as much rewarded as they would want, and gives microsoft more reasons to relax.
But its maybe too early for a correct apreciation of the figures...
What do you think?
