Not really. The launch numbers don't take into account the 360's hardware drought which was at least 6 months after launch in the U.S. With the exception of the Wii, you can't sell what's not on the shelves. And 2 weeks after launch, though Sony didn't believe it, and offered folks what $1,000 to find one on shelves - HA HA!
Yeah, the PS3 is selling better, but fact of the matter is - the PS3 has been readily available 2 weeks after launch. The 360 hasn't been readily available.
And one other thing - my friend who wanted a 60gb PS3 with BC settled for a 40gb PS3. He said he wanted a BR player and it was a PS, so why not? I'll keep you posted if he or his son actually buy games for it, because they'll have to buy games or just download demos off PSN.
What I found the funniest is - he was asking me why it was called Blu Ray in the first place. |
So you think that the people who wanted a 360 during the "drought" didn't get around to buying one the whole next year? Or even the next year. Thats funny. You're a funny person. |
I wanted a 360 and called around for months (and I wasn't alone - trust me). And to Mr. Turd, folks still want a Wii and can't find one. Consider yourself fortunate if you get one - there are several on this board who want a Wii and can't find one. The PS3 being readily available vs. the 360 and Wii droughts is laughable. Yes, some folks bought a PS3 and the numbers are up, but the lack of 360s and Wiis proves one thing - while the wealth of PS3s proves something else.
