If 360's were pulled off the shelf for a year, you know, to even the time they've BOTH been selling.

The 360's head start didn't exactly help much considering what it cost them in the end (RRoD costs, extended warranty and repair bill).  Still, MS just used the early start as a part of their strategy.  Sony didn't.  Go whine about it.

 

Go whine about it? Its pretty silly to not factor that into the arguement

Obviously the PS3 was a little ahead of its time the first 2 years it was out, hence the large costs of manufacturing and selling.

Sony fans definitely won't be whining in '09 just like '08. While you guys are concerned about sales numbers we'll be playing every best 3rd party and exclusive on the market.

 

Quite Fucking True...I don't know why but apparently PS3's lineup in 2008 was lack luster :S and that statement has me confused. And thats when 360 fans bring in Sales but they didnt bring those arguments until a price drop but oh well

 

+1

 

I was just saying if every PS3 fanboy wants to scream about the 360's head start as their main advantage, they should also realize how awful of a headstart it was, and had they waited to launch later, or had an improved product at that head start, it could have been much worse for Sony.  They also seem to want to think that the headstart was some cheating move, but I was merely pointing out that it was strategy, and a decent move to boot.  You were whining, so I told you to stop.

And I never said to not count it into the argument... just merely wanted to show you that you have to see the whole situation and not just the "positives" of the headstart since there were many negatives as well.

The PS3's only "ahead of it's time" addition was the Blu-Ray.  The rest was just "too much crammed into one," which is why they stripped 2 USB ports, the media card readers, back compat, etc. 

Also, as a 360 owner (and a PS3 owner) I will be playing every best 3rd party game on my 360 and every best exclusive on either console. The 2009 line-up of exclusives for both systems is debatable on which is better.  The 360's is better for me, especially when only 2 games of the 5 major ones on the PS3 I want are likely to make it out (Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2 will, but GT5 and GOWIII likely won't).

I've never once said the 08 line-up was lack luster, nor did I say that about the 09 line-up.  To me they are about equal with the 360 pulling a slight lead with Splinter Cell, all those PC/360 exclusives I can get, etc.
