the 360 was also up against a very strong and very cheap PS2 when it launched. you cant compare like this. cant you see these are bollocks stats... only ltd counts. |
When all is said and done the LTD sales is the only thing that matters, but it's not the end yet. The whole point of this is to look at the stats and try to find trends that will predict the final LTD sales. With your logic the 360 could have claimed that it sold better than the Wii for 9 months, and you could have denied the Wii dominance and held on to your "LTD sales is the only thing that matters" but obviously looking at the trend we could have predicted that the Wii would have passed the 360 and it did. Now he is doing the same thing with the PS3. Though these statistics support that the PS3 will eventually pass the 360, assuming they have a life cycle of the same length. However these stats are not substantial enough to be sure either way, but they do support the PS3. The question is can the PS3 catch the 360 while the 360 is still the leading console for MS.
