Does this look like console of the year to you?

The holidays are the most important time of the year.  The Wii is up 80% year over year for the holidays.  The 360 is up 47%.  The PS3 is down 15%.

If you want to claim that as some sort of victory, go right ahead.  You would have to be delusional though.

What about Resistance 2, Little Big Planet,  Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, MGS4... And PS3 outsold 360  this year EVERYWHERE, ANYTIME but not in USA. And PS3 outsold 360 in USA in June. Only the last two months were bad for PS3. PS3 sales DESTROYED 360 sales in Japan. PS3 sales massacred 360 sales in Europe till November.Only thing good for 460 this year is price cut and Gears Of War 2. THAT IS ALL.

 

In the end, 360 still outsold PS3 and that's what counts.

In a basketball game, you can have a big lead at the end of third quater but one horrible 4th quater loses the game. It is still a loss no matter how well you did in the first 3 quaters of the game. That's what happened to PS3.

You can't compare basketball game and console sales. for EXAMPLE: PS3 outsells 360 till November 6 million to 3 million and then till January next year 360 outsells PS3 3 million to 1 million. the PS3 would still be a winner.And this chart up here is WEEKLY sales of PS3

 

Unfortunately, Snake, your numbers are way off.  The PS3 in its entire first 8 months of 2008 only outsold the 360 by 1.2 million.  Then the 360 outsold the PS3 at the end of the year by nearly 2.2 million in order to outsell the PS3 almost a million in total yearly sales.  His basketball analogy was spot on.  The PS3 was not a sales winner regardless of how you compare it.  You should get used to knowing the facts, and not just rant with completely flawed logic or you won't last long here.
