ps3 Deemed anorexic!! Microsoft Comeback?


So playstation decided
to take action due to the recent decline in numbers of the ps3 sales, and completely revamp the unit. Majority underestimate the potential the system has. It is currently known as the worst selling system, but according to new stats, it IS actually second best next to the Wii, and Dsi, and of course the beloved Xbox taking the cake for the worst, yup, thats right Microsoft!
Everyone agrees that there is a lot expected of them, and Project Natal, being the next generation of XBOX gaming, the Xbox 720 looks as though it may reedeem itself, or will we all be lining up again for more hardrive failures and the dreaded Ring of Death?
For now i guess only time will tell for these two units , as they compete against eachother for the title at second best :)
You may find theses stats intersting btw, these are based by popularity by minutes played on each console.
The PlayStation 2 received 30.2 percent of all console-gaming minutes in 2008 (January to October), according to the Nielsen Media Research.

That statistic is a bit surprising, until you consider that Sony has sold more than 140 million PS2s since its launch. With the largest footprint, the PS2 should have the largest usage base.
Top Console Usage (by percent of minutes played)
PlayStation 2 (30.2 percent)
Xbox 360 (18.3 percent)
Wii (13.5 percent)
Xbox (9.1 percent)
PlayStation 3 (7.7 percent)
GameCube (4.4 percent)
Other (16.9 percent)
