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.
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.
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
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 is all that matters... so please stop this sensless spin.
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.
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 |
read my post... you stole #3 from me. Minus I declared August a draw due to the margin of error.

You didn't mention that it could have gone the other way. He simply corrected you.
If the margin of error is +/- 20k and the Xbox 360 is considered to have 'won' by 10k, then if the margin of error follows a normal distribution curve you could easily say with probability above 80% that the Xbox 360 won August.

Realy now, I didnt?
"You have to realize the margin of error on the NPD and VGC's part is well within given range to say that they could have easily sold the same amount of consoles, the PS3 sold more then the 360, the 360 really did outsell the PS3. Given the margin of error just saying they sold evenly in the US means that there is no clear winner of the month between the two consoles. If the gap was more like 50k than we could easily say that the 360 won hands down but we cannot."
