| gebx said: I don't think any of the PS3 fanboys realize how Japan skews the PS3 numbers. Look at the NA and Europe numbers, the 360 outsold the PS3 by 22,348, or 26% MS is probably worried that it sold so low, but they just need to look at the PS3 numbers and feel better about their situation. The economy is hurting, not as many people are willing to spend $$ on a console. |
This. The 360 sells in pretty much 2/3's of the regions that the PS3 does at pretty much 2/3's the price so is it that much of a shock that they're as close as they are? Either way, the 2 consoles together still can't outsell the Wii.
Oh, and to go back on-topic, I think Sony truly needs to greatly improve on their marketing. At least in Canada anyways, I rarely see anything Playstation related in television advertising unless it's a PLAYSTATION 3 logo at the bottom of a games' commercial saying "Also Available On" usually with the giant XBOX 360 logo leaving the last memory of the commercial. The commercials that have come out (especially at launch) were so "out there" that you had no clue what they were about until it flashed a playstation logo at the end and you were left saying "WTF?". The last one to come out for the PSN was also very weird and showed clips of unknown (to most people) games playing on people's shirts and jackets and crap. That hardly gets people excited, for me at least.
