| Tony_Parker said: Yeah, hang on your 10k more consoles sold every week, MS soldiers. I doubt it will be enough if Sony cuts the PS3 price or releases Gran Turismo 5 though. By the way, if things go on like this, PS3 could even sell more than 360 even before the price cut in a few weeks since the weekly sales gap goes down and down... @night : you're the one that sounds retarded here. My point is if a console has REALLY a 8 million lead, no multiplatform should sell more on the other console, that's just a too big gap for that, at least it's very suspicious. RE5 is a shooter in a way, and shooter fans are on 360, so your sad excuse doesn't hold at all. Piracy would have been a much better explanation... But I definitely suspect the VG reported installed gap is much closer to zero considering the huge number of people who bought 2 or 3 or even more 360. |
Sad, sad, Tim_Duncan.
Saying that a multiplat would never sell better on the PS3 even being 8 million less in install base defies the laws of probability.
Having less than 5 that sell better on PS3 (and mostly because they are ex-Sony franchises new to the 360: RE5, SF4), is actually more than acceptable.
And let me teach you a little something about math and percentages:
The 360 has steadily outsold the PS3 by 10-20% since the start of 2009. At the beginning of 2009, they sold numbers such as the following:
| Console | PS3 | X360 |
|
Total
|
327,526
|
382,600
|
Now, that means that the 360 was outselling the PS3 by 15% for that week, which was a 55k lead. And last week the numbers were:
| Console | PS3 | X360 |
|
Total
|
105,083
|
119,390
|
What do you know, the difference is still 13.1% and has barely changed. Oh and that's also more than 10k just so you know 
The only reason they look to be selling so closely is because both are selling about a third of their old amounts. This means that when 55k used to be 15%, now only 18k is 15%.
Congratulations, you've just been schooled and can now graduate from ignorant fanboy status!
