not surprised. ps3 is a full on flop in north america and has never really recovered over there. not really sure why, as the rest of the world is the complete opposite.


1st impressions stuck here over here. It's still the most expensive(7th gen). It's still that console that launched half baked. The online is still at the end of the day inferior to Xbox Live(Cross game chat).

 

and all the American favorites are on Xbox

Halo

Call Of Duty

Gears Of War

Grand Theft Auto

 

Next gen Sony needs do everything right from jump instead of having to scrample and fix a bunch of sh!t when PS4 arrives. That way they wont lag so far behind in America Next Gen.

I think the controller plays a huge factor, as well, and having much better versions of call of duty, most us gamers hate the ps3 controller, after they try the 360 controller.

UK is europe though. you want me to mention each territory where ps3 sells better opposed to 360? also being ahead by 2-5k a week is fuck all. 360 only dominates in america.

Yeah it's so dead in the USA. It's US sales alone almost equals the global sales of Xbox1. Abysmal. There's a whole 15 systems who's global sales have exceeded PS3's US sales. Shameful.

thats why i didnt even bother replying to him. hes the kinda poster that hasnt a clue what hes talking about.

Sounds like someone's jealous of all the attention creamsugar has been getting lately. Otherwise, there would be no reason to sensationalize a 10K-25K difference. If this guy even really knows the numbers.

I agree unless he come out and confirms under 600k, they should change his tag, his tag basically says that he's a reliable poster and doesn't make things up.

does he actually specifically refer to the 635k number when he says estimation? He could be talking about the overall estimate previous to the numbers...like how we had it overtracked by 350k
