I didn't think that the PS3 would ever catch the 360. Unless Kinect does what MS expects it to do, PS3 may just catch the 360 in 2011 (or 2012). Color me impressed!

See this is how expectations change...
You will be impressed that the runaway market leader last gen has crawled into secoind place after 5 or 6 years on sale? Most here, and many currently celebrating this recent adjustment - which still has it 3.9m behind, expected this within a year or so of the PS3 release.
It will be an achievement of sorts yes... but impressivbe? hell no.
Whjats impressive is the market loser last gen, Ninty, has domintaed so far this gen and that MS has managed to build a profitable and worthy gaming business.
but thats just my opinion...

Yes. Most logical grown ups take changing variables and not only taper expectations but progress in mind sets. So, some people try to diminish what is happening currently in reality by bringing up last gen to bring down current successes. These folks are living in the past and not progressing through reality with the variables of business and life. While others remember the train wreck that was the first 2 years of the PS3's life and see whats happening now and can appreciate the realize the tremendous recovery that was made.
Its not "flip flopping" its not "damage control" its a real life discussion. What the PS3 has been able to do is amazing in any market. To go from DOA and the numbers in japan, the losses of the division etc. to now posting quarterly profits and selling stronger than ever after falling flat on its face for 2 years is absolutely wonderful. Im commenting on this because its this weeks numbers.
Now, if we had a thread, and i cared enough about the 360, i would be saying the same thing for its long term prospect an dpicture. Who would have though the 360 would have sold over 50 million and still chuggin along after the xbox1? Its amazing what MSFT was able to do and theyre a part of the PS3 falling on its face by giving consumers a viable alternative and marginlizing the PS2 success. Anyways, im getting off track.
In summery, the weakest argument in the year 2010-2011 is still trying to bring up the PS2 success to diminish what the PS3 is doing now. Its so petty and pointless. It was 5 years ago, give it a rest, times have changed, i understand you want to keep bringing it up because it justifies your disdain but realistically its not a solid case anymore. This generation is not last generation.

Excellent piece here.

i refer you to my response... same goes for you.
btw... could have sworn you said you had little interest in the numbers many times before... oh... hang on.. that was before wasnt it...

I really think you need time away from the forums. For someone who boasts about maturity and fairness, you haven't expressed much of that here. And as a staff member, I think you should express a little more restraint, but I guess that's just me.
And post what you want about me, it changes nothing. He posted a fair, intelligent piece and because you don't favor what he's on about, you choose to stray off topic about something completely irrelevant.

Indeed it won't change anything, you will always be as blinded as before and ingnoring the reality. Just to let you know that I read all the whole discussion and kowenicki is absolutely right. He just put the whole thing into perspective but some of you guys just don't want to see the big picture. You rather want to post useless posts like WOWWWWWW! OMG!!!!! PS3 >>>>>>>>>> The World, The next generation didn't begin till SONY said it begins, nex-gen has begun now! that make you sound at best just plain ridiculous...
Now is PS3 doing good right now? Yes. Would it be able to recover its LTD losses? Most probably not. Would it be able to get back to its lead position? No. Would it have the power to decide anything about next-gen? Hell no.
I think you guys should just be a little more reasonable when posting comments.
