one thing i dont understand about the whole xbox 360 vs ps3 debate is this:  whenever i go to a game website (ign, gamespot, gamefaqs, vgchartz) and theres some kind of poll about which is better ps3 usually wins.  same with the youtube videos on comparing the two consoles.  but yet xbox still remains the more profitable product.  so if the ps3 has all of these fans, why does the xbox still sell better?  i do have a theory about this though.  my theory is that xbox is a more mainstream product so it will sell better.  and ps3 owners (myself included) search the internet looking for hope that the ps3 will finally come out on top.  thats why the ps3 always wins the internet battles.  what do you guys here on vgchartz think.


I agree with you in that I think that the Xbox 360 is more mainstream.  Those who are more hardcore (not rabid fanboyism) are more "in tune" with what they are hardcore with.  Therefore, I think the PS3 appeals to more hardcore gamers so those gamers are staying more informed with gaming, being that the interwebs are a plethora of gaming info.  So being on the interwebs more to stay informed exposes them to more of these polls you speak of.  My theory.
