| mero4ever said: I agree with the article we cannot compare two consoles that had different release dates and also prices. We will get lots of estimations and assumptions as to what if they had been released at the same time. and what if they had the same price. Thats a math I really dont have time to do. So I 'll settle with what Vgchartz is showing, lead of 8 m for 360. once PS3 takes the lead then we can say, hah in you face 360 fanboys. but thats when(or if) the PS3 surpasses the 360. |
I think you would feel differently if the two consoles were in different positions.
Also, I don't remember there ever being 2 competing consoles that were released on the same day and at the same price. Therefore, we can't compare any generation of consoles ever.
Let's not forget that the PS2 enjoyed a year head start in front of the xbox and gamecube, and the PS1 also enjoyed a 2 year head start on top of the N64. Does that mean that this takes away anything from the achievements of those 2 consoles? surely not. (Of course we have to remember that the playstations launched after Sega's consoles, but is anyone going to seriously debate that Sega gave any of the 3 companies a run for their money with their head start?).
So why then, must we always hear about X360's year head start? 360 is in front of the PS3, that is the reality and that includes the fact it launched first (Which I find a strange move by Sony, given how well launching early has done for them.)
Heck, I would even commend the 360 because it's beating the PS3 even though it shares similarities with the dreamcast (Cheaper and weaker than the Playstation of the day).
