Forums - Microsoft Discussion - People have been more satisfied with the Xbox 360 than the PS3 so are less inclined to upgrade - one of Yusuf Mehdi's opinions on sales gap

Microsoft...

Well, if people hate their PS3s so much, why did their campaign for trading in PS3s for credit towards Xbox Ones fail magnificently?

Well PS3 doesn't have any buzz worthy games  like Titanfall releasing this year. There really is less incentive to keep playing it then X1.

Persona 5? Tales of Xillia 2? Tales of Zestria?

This guys quote reeks of bullshit. In the long-run, gamers have been more satisfied with PS3 than 360. Especially 2009 onwards, when PS3 really started hitting out those excellent exclusives while 360 released less and less. He may be right about X1 not being in as many markets hence not selling as much, I agree with that, but his whole "ppl are satisfied with 360 more than ps3" is nonsense.

If software sales on the 360 are any indication, then he's right.

100% agree. Playing Titanfall every chance I get and enjoying my free games for gold (downloading Saints Row 3 in a couple days which I never played).

...

 

I wouldn't put much stock in a program that didn't last too long. Just saying in 2014, not any years prior, 2014, 360 has Titanfall and PS3 has what....some super niche Japanese titles?

 


I guess it's a matter of preference which of the 2 has better upcoming games:

PS3

Helldivers

LittleBigPlanet HUB

Kingdom Hearts 2.5 Remix

Persona 4

Tales of Xillia 2

Tales of Zestiria

 

Xbox 360

Titanfall (already out)

Project Spark

 

PS Plus (if you sign up in may):

Uncharted 3

Payday 2

Remember Me

LittleBigPlanet Karting

Puppeteer

PES 2014

etc: http://us.playstation.com/playstation-plus/

 

XBL Gold (if you sign up in may):

Dust: An Elysian Tail

Saints Row: The Third

As I said, super niche by comparison.

Listing PS + games that allready exist ....cute


Kingdom Hearts 2.5 is niche? Explan, please. 

 

Xillia has sold 1 million worldwide.

Kingdom Hearts 1.5 has sold over a million copies.  Calling the kingdom hearts series niche is factually incorrect and delusional.

Zestria will sell on par with Xillia.

HUB is F2P and as a franchise has sold MUCH more than project Spark. LBP isn't niche, calling it niche is delusional, by calling it niche you're calling Project Spark even more niche. 

FFX HD was released this year, it sold a million copies. 

Persona 5 will sell around a million as well.

 

A new IP that's f2p and one FPS is more compelling tho huh? Despite the fact the Xbox 360 version of titanfall had no buzz and only sold around 600K copies on a 80 million install base. Okay. Sure.

PS3 2014 and onward: THE place to play super niche Japanese titles and multiplats on 360 ;)

Sounds ok if that floats your boat.


And what does 360 have?

More X1/PC ports?

Don't see why thats funny. They aren't on PS4, they are popular (TF) and ambitious (PS) and they set 360 apart from its biggest competition.


So being an overglorified LBP clone is ambitious and setting it apart from the PS3? Yikes.
