Xbox 360 > PS3 in August. Is it a sign of things to come?

1. Stop making excuses as to why the PS3 didn't take Aug. if it would have been the other way around you'd be gloating... it sold less... except the fact that it's not going to take this month either and it's best shot is Oct... then the rest of the year is going to be working against it.

==> yes but PS3 was in heavy short supply AND no clearance sales ...

2. Don't come out and say that the 360 Arcade is a diffrent experience from the PS3... it plays all the 360 games (except FF11) and comes with some pretty awsome XBLA games.

==> arcade is a different experience not in term of games (PS360 share the same games but they still are different experience) but in term of hardware : you pay less, you get less

3. This margin of error goes both way people... the 10k could easily have gone in the 360's favor as much as it could have gone in the PS3's favor

==> y

4. WW sales is all that matters... but if Sony was in the 360's seat it's would be the opposite... in the State US figures are all that matters... in EU Other Other EU is all that matters... so please stop this sensless spin.

==> fixed

5. The PS3 is an awsome gaming machine, but the 360 is just as good... if you have the money to get the 360 at it's lower price and you don't then you're not a gamer... you're idiot. I may hold a prefrence for the 360, but I love MGS series as much as any PS fanboy and as soon as I can I'll be picking up a PS3.

==> so there are many idiot in Europe and US considering how the PS3 was over the xbox360 during the whole year.

6. The BR in the PS3 is about to get some big compition with the 200 dollar BR Players comming out this holiday... I'll probably pick one up... 200 is about all I can afford at one time... and that's if I skimp on food :p

==> some people will prefer spend 400$ to get the console + BR player in the same purchase.

 

 The final solution is somewhere hidden in your post.
That is why the PS3 will crush the xbox360 ... many people will, each time the price will go down, buy one. That is not the case of the xbox360 (and that explain the sales) : fews people, on forum, claim : I buy one at the next price drop (or when it is free...), while at each PS3 bundle, there are "50 pages threads" from Sony lovers : "fuck Sony, I want a PS3 so badddd, I dont want your bundle, I want you to drop the price plzzz"

 

You mistake yourself if you think I'll be buying a new PS3... I gave my PS2 to my son so I'll be hitting up pawn shops and ebay when I do get one... so my sale wont count... but then it's the games that give sony the money.  If I can find one for under 200 I'll probably pick it up... I can't afford anything more than that at one time... any extra money at the end of the month goes towards debt... for now anyway. 

I'm just really tired of the fanboys saying "Xbox 360 is going to die" or the "PS3 is done"... If it wasn't for Xbox your PS3 wouldn't have a HDD and if it wasn't for the 360 you'd probably just now be getting your PS3s this holiday. And if it wasn't for Sony threatening the home entertainment center then Microsoft would have never jump into the console buisness.  I just wish the people who want their console to "kill off" the other console would leave the internet.  It's fine to have a preference and debate over the merits of each console, but wishing ill on another console destroys compition.  Ok so I havn't slept in 25 hours... so if it doesn't make sense sorry :p
