Kow both PS3 and 360 are in decline and PS3 manages to keep a lead over 360. that's the only comparison i care about at this point. i'm looking for somethig to happen with PS3/360, and if it does, PS3 will stay the 3rd place console until 360 is discontinued. and if it doesn't happen, then the outcome all expected will have have come true.

Kow you'll have to forgive me for not being bias. compare all 7th gen. consoles to WiiU.

PS3 fans are celebrating end of gen victories. They no longer want to align launches, they dont want to compare lifetime with Wii and they have an easy target; The Wiiu. But never fear, it will be a shot phenomenon when they realise the PS3 sales are in rapid decline. They get very excited about any success and get a bit irrational in their predictions and celebrations for a little while. Some of them think the Ps3 sales will be up this year or flat. Its quite amusing really.

Says the man who counts the days to when he can either create or post in the thread about the 360 passing the Wii in the UK and US.  Of course, I doubt you'll mention the Wii has been dying quickly for 2 years now, as well as the fact that its successor has already been launched.  The victory in the US might also have to wait til the NeXbox is already here.  It also took the 360 a year more to reach those milestones.  Talk about your end of gen victories. 


I think actually WINNING a region is an actual victory though.  its first... its winning.

getting second or currently beating the WiiU isnt.

 

Still an end of gen victory.  I guess I could approach this like 360 fans do to the PS3 taking 2nd.  Something along the lines of..."That's like winning a marathon that you started a day early.  Then, after you shot the new frontrunner in the leg, it still took you over 2 days to catch up with him and pass him."  While a good metaphor, I still will congratulate MS, as I always do.  It is still a victory, no matter how late it comes.

Of course, with the 360 and PS3, MS is still fighting to keep its 2nd place, where Nintendo gave up on the Wii.  I mean spending tens of  millions on a new Halo, and its advertising, when they could have easily held off a year and launched it with the NeXbox.  Dropping its price, and profits, by $50 across all SKUs in the US for 3 months (3 months that happen to be the largest shopping months of the year).  As much as 360 fans try to downplay it, MS still cares about holding 2nd.

Of course they still care. It's about keeping momentum going.

It's silly when people think that nothing matters much from this point on because something MIGHT be coming out Holiday 2013. Shit, we haven't even seen either of the new consoles yet. Sony and MS clearly show they still care about 2013 and beyond.

If someone won't buy your new console at $400 you sure as shit would like them to buy your $150-$200 console.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

What you people don't know is that once Sony dominates they will give this big ass party where members who have fought hard and sometimes dirty for that victory all come together and drink limonade while their mothers wait in car to drive them home.. the party is very important to them.. there are rumors an actual girl will appear..

Yeah, it's kind of a mess.  I'm still not sure what he's trying to say.

Thankfully, kowen's bitter little speech came along immediately to provide some entertainment.   The sillyness of it made me giggle like a school-girl.

Personally, I don't think the Wii U is going to be even close to a flop, but I do find it very interesting that so many of the "the PS3 is a flop because it lost market-share from the PS2" crowd have seemingly and mysteriously changed their minds about that line of logic regarding the Wii U.

Just make sure to keep track of the idiot's in the doom threads and QUOTE them when the PS4 comes out.

If they say the Wii U is doomed because of "X reason" then when "X reason" is true for PS4 throw it back in their face with their very own quote.  Take the high road by ignoring them now and kicking them in the face later, lol.

That's funny. I could have sworn that's what Sony fans have been doing (And mostly doing it to show the ridiculousness of previous views and not being dead serious in their current comments). However, they are just playing damage control and the situations are completely different and its not the same at all because of some now different definition of terms... You wouldn't be encouraging hypocricy would you?



Ive been saying this for a long time. THis site is a site mainly built of playstation gamers. It is annoying because you cant get honest results in a lot of threads.

I haven't been looking too close, but I notice things like them saying how bad Wii U launched.  Yet compare the Wii U launch to other HOME CONSOLES, launches and its doing either just as well or better.  They talk about third parties and compare third parties to what?  Current consoles list, not their launch list.  

I see a lot of comparing Wii U to current 360 and PS3 numbers, not to their or any consoles respective launch numbers.  



Its just because of volume.

Some like to deny it but at this point the Sony fanbase is a huge majority here on VGC even bigger than Nintendo which used to have the most fans here.

Seriously all you have to do is look at forum signatures and you realize this instantly. There are more forum signatures with either a PSN ID or a bunch of pictures and gifs of PS3 exclusives than anything else.

It makes discussion unbalanced and thus an overall forum bias in favor of PS3. Many of the Sony fans are great but having a fair discussion at this point is difficult
