hmmm lets see, MAYBE the 360 sells better because its ALOT cheaper then the PS3 and when the mass market looks into buying a HD system, the 360 is there first pick

 

Do you really view it as being cheaper though?  It's only cheaper for those who don't get Xbox live...anybody who gets Xbox Live and views it as cheaper is completely ignorant.

Edit: Also thought I'd chip in, if you'd look at the prior comments, PS3 has actually sold considerably more units since its release, so that part of your comment would also be incorrect, lol.

all ps3 owners have a gaming pc hence the internet but apparently none of the xbox owners do that's why when a game comes out on both the 360 and pc somehow it's an exclusive to the xbox that's why they don't post on forums



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

360 win is because of two biggest game region US & UK, PS3 win in all other region but add up total still can't compete with this two biggest region, that's why it's not selling as much as 360 that's all

360 and Wii fans are too busy playing games and doing other stuff to constantly post how awesome their console is on forums.

Someone was going to say it, might just as well be me!



Exactly! ding, ding, ding....... we have  a winner.

That is correct, and I would have to say a lot of uneducated buyers have probably used that as an their reasoning for buying the 360 over the PS3.

oh and not having to buy a 3D ready blu ray player is always nice even though the audio is locked at 5.1 which is what I have anyways. That 3DTV option is not a bad deal at all.

You aren't talking about the ps3 are you?  Because it is compatible with 7.1 audio buddy.


not when you watch 3D movies, the PS3 was never designed with HDMI 1.4 in mind, it still works off the 1.3 design, so there is a bandwidth limitation and it doesn't have enough to output 3D blu ray and 7.1 high quality audio at the same time, so it does it in 5.1, which is OK since I have a 5.1 system anyways. Don't buy a 1.4 cable if you already have 1.3, you don't have to, the hardware was never designed for 1.4 and 3D works just fine on my TV with 1.3.

I wasn't sure how the whole thing worked, but that's good to know :)

one thing i dont understand about the whole xbox 360 vs ps3 debate is this:  whenever i go to a game website (ign, gamespot, gamefaqs, vgchartz) and theres some kind of poll about which is better ps3 usually wins.  same with the youtube videos on comparing the two consoles.  but yet xbox still remains the more profitable product.  so if the ps3 has all of these fans, why does the xbox still sell better?  i do have a theory about this though.  my theory is that xbox is a more mainstream product so it will sell better.  and ps3 owners (myself included) search the internet looking for hope that the ps3 will finally come out on top.  thats why the ps3 always wins the internet battles.  what do you guys here on vgchartz think.


I agree with you in that I think that the Xbox 360 is more mainstream.  Those who are more hardcore (not rabid fanboyism) are more "in tune" with what they are hardcore with.  Therefore, I think the PS3 appeals to more hardcore gamers so those gamers are staying more informed with gaming, being that the interwebs are a plethora of gaming info.  So being on the interwebs more to stay informed exposes them to more of these polls you speak of.  My theory.
