| disolitude said: I don't think anyone intelligent cares if a console is outselling another console...as long as their console has the games that they want to play. I think a sega dreamcast owner was a lot happier in 2000 and 2001 than a ps2 owner. Yet ps2 sold much more... Seing PS3 outsold like this did teach a Sony many valuable lessons...such as that bundling hardware features doesn't matter if the price isn't right and that depending on 3rd parties for your big hits is like depending on a hooker to stay with you even when the money is gone. But despite all this PS3 is still a viable console today and will get its time to shine...late 2009/early 2010 in my opinion. Ill get one again when price is right. |
Talk about sour grapes! Your console of choice isn't meeting your expectations in terms of sales so you claim nobody intelligent cares if one console is outselling another. You just insulted every member of this site (including yourself), since it is a site which tracks sales. Why else would people choose to visit this site if they didn't have an interest in sales data?
Of course it matters if one console outsells another. It is a contributing factor when determining if it is worthwhile for a developer to work on an exclusive, or if one console should be chosen over another as the lead platform. We saw that with the PS2 last gen and to a lesser extent with the 360 now.
Only little boys take their ball home when they start to lose.
