1 year head start, all these high reviewed scored games, xbox live, 3 huge price cuts, largest game library- taking past PS exclusives...

PS3 with I think only one official price cut and is mostly the opposite of xbox (more expensive, low library of games, not a huge online service, etc.) is just about 400k away sales wise to the xbox.

You gotta admit PS3 is just doing way better then xbox (2x as better considering the 1 year head start) and Wii is just destroying the xbox by millions. Maybe fail is too much of a definitive statement but xbox is doing bad, not horrible but that is due to the growth of gaming.

It's doing poor compared to the Wii, and relatively poor in Others, compared to the PS3.

How is the PS3 doing in America and Japan compared to the Wii. How is it doing compared to the PS2? How is the 360 doing compared to the original Xbox?

Microsoft is focusing on building a brand name. Sony is focused on destroying theirs in the name of short term profit. This mainly entails allowing presumptive 3rd party exclusives go to the 360 on launch, so next gen, Tekken, Final Fantasy, and DMC won't be so presumptive, as Sony brands. It's called "coasting." It's enough to beat the 360 this gen, in Sony's strongest territory, at least, but you'll find as time passes, it won't serve them well. It's what you do when you're not willing to spend money maintaining your brand. You rest on your laurels. Granted, Sony isn't doing this entirely, as they have recently decided to improve focus on first party games, in response to harsh criticism. However, damage has already been done. The 360 has better 3rd party support this generation, and that's never something Sony has had to worry about.

 

 

How? the Ps3, wii are very reliable, while the 360 , you know......

 

MS is competing well and lowering their prices to avoid being passed by, but it will happen eventually. MS is buying its brand name instead of building it.

Yes the 360 had the RROD, but it focused on fixing the problem yes? ~ yes

MS is lowing it's prices and buying it's brand: ?

You do know that systems lower their prices right? it's the cycle of life with consoles & handhelds.

It doesn't matter if MS is buying exclusives, or begging for them, the point is their going after them. 

I love how people say MS is buying Exclusives, but when Sony gave $$$$ to rockstar for GTA on PS2 nobody said a word..

Not to mention other exclusives on the PS3, PS2,.

Why is it bad when MS buys exclusives? but ok if other companies do it?

Heck what about the companies that agreed to the deal?

Hypocritical to say the least.
