And i am kinda sick of people comparing PS3 and PS2 with the Xbox and the 360? 360 outsold original xbox because xbox sold only about 25 million. its easy for 360 to outsell Xbox. PS2 on the other hand has sold 140 million, so its WAY harder for PS3 to beat PS2.
PS3's predecessor sold 140 million.
360's predecessor sold 25 million.
For which console will be easier to outsell its predecessor?

Hey. Say there are two sports teams.
One of them goes 16-0 and wins the championship.
The other goes 1-15.
The next season the first team goes 8-8
The next season the secon team goes 8-8.
For the first team... that season was a huge failure right? MONSERTOUS negative backtracking?
The second team... that season was a huge success right? They're a lot better now.
PS3 is the PS2's disastersous second season.
X360 is the Xbox's more successful season.
|
Like i said before, its easy to outsell your predecessor if your predecessor sold only 25 million. Why 360 cant outsell PS2? Oh that's right. PS2 sold a lot better than 360's predecessor.
Oh and Sony lost 3 billion on Ps3 and Microsoft lost 6 billion on 360. So i guess 360 is 2 TIMES BIGGER FAILURE
|
I agree it's easier to outsell your predecessor if it outsold 25 million.
The fact that it's easier is irrelevent.
As products the PS3 and 360 have very different criteria for success and failure.
Where did i argue the 360 wasn't a failure in terms of making profit?
It was however a success in expanding Microsofts Marketshare.
The PS3 was a failure in both... and the bigger failure of the two.
The big success of course being the Wii.
Just how last generation the PS2 was the big success, the Xbox was a success/failure split and the Gamecube was a big failure.
It's easy to understand if your not a fanboy.
|
# so you are saying PS3 is a failure BUT you ACTUALLY HAVE A PS3. why the fuck did you get it if you think its a failure. Sony should ban you from PSN
|
A product has to be a success for me to like it?
Does that mean I'm not aloud to like the Dreamcast either? Oh dear.
There is nothing wrong with actually enjoying a product that was a failure.
I'm sure lots of people enjoy their Zunes too. I doubt many of those people would claim the Zune was a smashing success.
|
So you are saying its a failure but you actually like it. Well, i didn't see that coming. Anyway, everybody who knows little bit about gaming business knows that biggest profit comes from SOFTWARE sales. PS3 software sales have increased for 65%, so Sony obviously made profit from PS3 SOFTWARE. So sorry to disapoint you but the console you like is not a failure. Soon its going to outsell GameCube and Xbox.
|
Right... so the over 2 billion SCE lost was a big lie then?
PS3 will remain a profit failure until it and it's software makes up this massive loss.
And it will remain a marketshare failure until it beats the PS2.
I beleive it will fail to accomplish both... as i would think, most rational people.
|
Well they did made profit lately. If they continiue they wil make profit of PS3 in 2, maybe 3 years.
''And it will remain a marketshare failure until it beats the PS2.''
So i guess Wii will be failure until it beats NES
|
Really 2-3 billion. When the PS2's largest profit was 1 billion one year, it was the most successful console ever. Not going to happen.
No... until it beats the gamecube. Did you totally miss the sports team analogy? Your success is based on your predecessor console because that shows where you were headed. I mean it's common sense.
|
Well, if you put it that way every console in the world is failure compared to PS2, not just PS3.so sony should sell over 150 million PS3s because that'S the only way for PS3 NOT to be a failure. And i guess PS4 should sell 200 million and PS5 over 250 million. How its Sony's fault PS2 did such a great job? Just because your predecessor did a better job, doeent mean you are a failure. Actaully i think DS is the only one who can outsell PS2 and ITS A HANDHELD.
|
No it actually does. If you don't match or surpass your predecessor you are a failure. Thats how the world works.
|
So every Nintendo console besides NES and wii is a failure? Thanks for pointing that out
