So, lag behind is your take. Very articulate of you. Can't wait for more posts where you showcase your intellectual unbias. 

If you're posting someone elses info, do not put your own slant on it, just post it, let it speak for itself, people will have more respect for you. If you want to argue or sway us, then I suggest attempting to write something of your own. Example would be posting this article and then having a compelling opinion of your own to go with it. It's hard and you have to use your head, but people will applaud you for it. 

I copy and pasted that artcile from Eurogamer without tampering with it so shut your trap.

Funny that, I read the same article on Eurogamer and never saw the words "lag behind".

I apologise if I missed it but I read it again and again didn't see these words.

But then I released whose thread it is and a whole lot of history came flooding back.

Ninth article down

OK, I looked in haste (currently at work and strangely enough working) but still didn't see it but I am willing to take your word for it.

Eurogamer does use lag behind.  It's not in the article but on the main menu as a sub-heading.  He is indeed just the messager.

 

On Topic....

As ever the main issue I see here is the one I have with most stuff like this, it's simplified statistics that without context can be misleading.

For a start the tone assumes they should all be the same and therefore PS3/Wii are lagging.  But why should they be the same?  PS3 sells in more countries with less internet infrastructure, for example, therefore I could just as easily argue the 360 lead is disappointingly small next to PS3 as 360 install base is more focused in territories that should be buying even more, percentage wise, online.

With Wii it clearly has a much larger install base and a lot of that base is playing offline centric titles as a family unit.  Again, the Wii percentage looks perfectly fine.

Really, as ever this is another example of the need to generate a stream of factoids without cpontext to satisfy the needs of a 24 hour internet commuications infrastructure.

For the record, I think the percentages look right about where you'd expect given worldwide install base, demographics, internet purchasing penetration, etc.

If the PS3 was equalling the 360, for example, I would see that as reflecting worse on 360 for the reasons noted.  If Wii was higher then I'd be surprised given it's demographic install base.

Really, this just confirms what a bit of simple thought would have told you.
