That's right, folks! Aaron Greenberg, a man employed by Microsoft, has nice things to say in public about Microsoft! How about that for mindblowing? Once again, MS' minister of propaganda is spraying hubris from his boastnozzle into our blogmouth, claiming confidently that the Xbox 360 will dominate the PS3 this generation.
"What I can tell you is we remain confident that Xbox 360 will not only outsell PS3 for the full calendar year, but for this entire generation," stated Greenberg, as lightning crackled behind him, probably. "It is similar to a game of baseball, it is not about just winning one inning, but instead being able to win the game by consistently delivering across all nine innings.
"I actually think the story here is about much more than just hardware sales. It's about the entire ecosystem and investing in the future; something we are very focused on. There is also the whole financial side of the equation that people rarely seem to pay attention to."
So there you have it. Microsoft will defeat the PS3 this generation because baseball.

360 = Redsox , PS3 = Yankess
Your ref, made me giggle with memories.
...
Wait, what #%$ is this guy talking about? Sounded like he had to wiki baseball to form that quote. Easy Aaron, don't hurt yourself.
Now, go take a hot shower, sleep for a while, get your ideas straight and whip some people into making actually compelling software for Natal, will you?
PR, people. He is paid for this shit.
while the 360 has hardware falures and natal to look forward to.
its a no brainer the PS3 will win in the long streach and microsoft knows it, that is why the 720 is comming in 2012 so that all the reports of 360 crashes like its hot is drowned out by backwards compatibilty.
ROFL. Get with the times, nitwit.RROD is pretty much nonexistant now with Jaspers+NXE; imagine if they release the Valhalla chipset with the new skus next year?
But Microsoft wins more of my cash in the long run though. In 2009 I have bought 12 360 games. 3 DS games. 1 PSP game. 2 PC games and ZERO wii games. That is a win for Microsoft by a big margin.
and who's winning again? you don't focus on the competition, you focus on the consumer. sony is behind ms ass, ms likes to lick that very same ass and savour the taste of second place like its first place.
My sources say that Jim is actually PAID by M$ to generate hate so MS Fanboys aggro him and read his awesome articles. Once enough M$ X-bots are attacking Jim, he will bust out with the new X-Box 1080Platinum news and score massive hits all over the world, creating a black hole that will pull all PS3/PSP and WII/DS machines into it leaving only the XBOX and I-Phone remaining.
Crazy good idea
I like where you're going with this. Because when he talks about the evil MS it makes me want to go buy more MS stuff. Jesus. He's a genius.
It's what doomed Javier Vasquez in Chicago.
So by this analogy, if Sony stays fairly even, or a little behind, but has one fantastic year, then MS loses.
I already forgot where I as going there because I was high on nitrous when I wrote that
