Why are so many people on message boards threatened by PS3?

Maybe you should laugh and cry.  Laugh about the 30k and then cry after you realize that it's been outsold 49m to 21m. 

The PS3 outsold the Wii by 30k after some really big releases... when the Wii hasn't had any really big releases in months. It's not exactly surprising or news.... and it's not likely to be sustainable either.

I was comparing WW sales of PS3 and the 360.

 

 

Compare all you want, but the ps3 is dead locked last at this point.

It's 2009 already, in 3 years we'll have all the next-gen consoles available. The ps3 would need to outsell the 360 by 250.000 units/month to catch up by 2012, and then it won't matter anymore. For a "meaningful" victory, outselling it by 2011, the ps3 would need to outdo the 360 by 375.000 units/month.

Remember, every week that goes by with the 360 outselling the ps3 worldwide, the numbers go up. If sony were to drop the price by E3, they'd need to outdo the 360 by over 400k / month to catch up in 2011.
