oh good god... again!?

and i counter that with since the PS3 has been out the 360 has sold more... so since the choice has been available to buy either... people have chosen the 360 more than the PS3.

both stats are red herrings however.

only LTD counts..

now everyone move along nothing to see here.

he is trying to see the ps3 is selling at a much faster rate than the 360 did in its 2-3rd year.

yeah and Im saying that more people have chosen the 360 over the PS3 when both have been available.... therefore the 360 is more poular..

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.

Thank you you hit it right on the head. And really it doesn't matter if PS3 outsells the 360 after the 720 or Natalbox or whatever comes out. Bottom line is the PS3 is gonna outsell the 360.
