Forums - Sales Discussion - Xbox 360 more wanted than playstation 3?

If your talking in terms of desire then you got it wrong . The PS3 is more desirable than the XBOX 360 it's just that the price point requires that the buyer have a greater desire to buy a PS3 than they would the XBOX 360. At the same price point it would be clear which console was the "most wanted"

in theory you are right, except its likely that the person chooses a PS3 over a 360 in that scenario because it costs more therefore its more desirable to get it for free because the other one could be additionally obtained for a cheaper price. For example

Free PS3 = I can have both for ($200)

Free 360 = I can have both for ($400)

I guess the other method will to simply ask people "How much will you be willing to pay for a PS3/Xbox) and compare the prices.



u can buy 2 arcades by the price of a 80gb GB ps3.
yet the ps3 always remains between a 15-10% difference by price comparison it should be selling over around 50% or double.

ps3 it's more wanted especially europe and japan.

ps3 doesn't need to be at the same price of 360. 100$ difference would be enough to outsell it over 40%.

Judging by the sales, it seems that the xbox 360 has been outselling the playstation 3 since the price cut and has an overall sale of 30 million units vs 22 million units of playstation 3 sales.

I hear people say that sales shows the xbox 360 is the more desired console to buy than the playstation 3 and I also hear that the playstation 3 is the more desired console because of the exclusives. After hearing both sides, I don't know which side to believe.

So is the xbox 360 really a more desired console to buy than the playstation 3 simply because it has more sales?

I could just answer your thread with 1 word : No

 

 

 

 

.. But instead.. allow me to elaborate.. : No way.

Price kinda makes it more wanted, therefore more people bought 360 than PS3 its simple.
