When will the Sony boys learn that the PS3 is selling PATHETIC for being HALF THE PRICE of the Xbox 360? THEY SHOULD JUST GIVE UP, because no price cut is going to save their ebony machine from its certain fate! Its time to FACE FACTS people! The Xbox 360 is selling because people want it, and thats something Sony has simply failed to do. Every time I see someone whining about sales, I think about comparisons like this which PROVE BEYOND DOUBT that the XBOX 360 is simply the better console. BETTER CONSOLE!

I'm glad we all believe consumers are perfectly rational now. This is why the consoles are priced at 199.99 and 399.99, because there are just too many people who when they are optimizing their finances come to the realization that that extra .01 breaks the bank.

I've noticed a generally negative relationship between how well international studies rate the "mathematics" education of a country's student population and 360 market share. Correlation or causation? :P

Always rational, 100% of the time! Isn't that one of economic's founding assumptions?

I don't see any negative or positive correlation relating to maths usage really, so perhaps the half of the world that buy Xbox 360s are foolish and the other half which buy PS3s are not? The Wii buyers are just kicking to a trend.

 



Tease.
