MikeB said: @ Hawk The margin of error should be way higher than that, this of course regarding all the platforms (from a scientific perspective). One platform overtracked and another undertracked (and vice versa), so you cannot derive solid conclusions from this data. For this its best to wait for the latest sold to retail figures and compare those instead.

Rather than assume.  Yeah, I got it.  So, we should not say things such as PS3 is not selling less than what it was last year, when we don't have anything to back ourselves up, beyond the best data available to us at the time.

Right, I got it.

 

@ kowenicki

No, I just try to look at things a bit more from a scientific perspective, due to my background education.



No, but I think it's a factor with regard to the amount of units on the shelves. Unless of course the PS3 has much more shelf space at retail than the 360 has, I don't know if that's true, but that's not the case around here (so I tend to doubt this). So our local Media Markt always has more 360s in stock as the dedicated shelf space is about equal (but the console re-supply goes faster for the PS3).

I just point this out to counter claims that there's a million more PS3s left on the shelves than 360s. Something you often see 360 fanboys claim when talking about the amount of units retailers worldwide bought from Microsoft and Sony.

Oh, I know.  It's fun seeing what he will say next though.  Like how a scientific perspective and his educated background is what means a 10% margin of error and figures showing PS3 selling 9% less = PS3 is not selling less this year.  ::shakes head::  I like how he covers his optimism by calling it a scientific perspective and educated background.

Lol i don't understand most of what he says anyways.  Mabye he is talking all scientific like so people think that he is smarter than the majority of people, and most will believe him thinking that he has to be right if he talks like that...lol who knows??

 

lol Don't even get him started on hardware architecture. It's amazing seeing someone who's job does not have even the remotest of links to programming or computers in general arguing with full time computer engineers over their expertise.

Hey I just read a book about physics and now I'm an expert on string theory, woohoo!

I see there is a debate about wether I think the 360 version looks superior to the PS3 version.

The answer is yes, I do believe the 360 version is superior, that is why I put in the title, Resident Evil 360.

I sez the PS3 version looks better as you can clearly see here there is a dimple on Shevas left butt cheek that is a little moar dimply.

You know what else looks better? The $50 bucks that I didn't pay to play co-op with my hommies looks better in my wallet.

LOL ahahhahaha high five hommie.

 

Looks like a pretty close tie to me. Where KZ2 really shines though is when you thrown in explosions and effects, also the lighting is crazy in both games but I give the nod to KZ just from the demo.

Still it's a Cross-Plat game, b4 we go screaming one console looks better than the other I think we have to wait for a few years.

Sorry, but both versions are practically the same, apart from some screen tearing on the 360 and maybe slightly more profound minor frame rate drops on the PS3 it's hard to keep them apart, especially when not running side by side.

Superior IMO is a big overstatement. Like claiming James Bond with light blue eyes is superior to James Bond with light brown eyes (or vice versa)...

Honestly the differences are really so minor, the PS3 version being region free may well be considered a much bigger factor.
