the haters got served?

PS3 was the underdog here, and will probably overtake before even wii2 comes out.

Also, I wonder if we align the ps3 with the ps2 in terms of revenue. I bet more has been spent by consumers on the ps3 at this point in time, than on the ps2. So regardless of whether or not 360 has gained a better foothold, I don't think ps3 has really lost anything besides their own profits, which is questionable when matched with a video format which will continue for another 10 years or so. Time will tell, as it always does.


Since when was the PS3 the underdog? The follow up to the console which sold 150M vs the console which sold 25M and you're calling the former the underdog?! I think you're a little confused...

I'd like to point you to lafiel's post just above. Ps3 has been DOOMED for the last five years. We've had the "PS3 has no gaems" slogan, "Sony just copies everything" slogan, "600$", "RIIIIDGE RACER" etc etc. Now, PS3 is on the brink of outselling the 360 and suddenly it doesn't matter?

There's been five years of crazy shit talking.

I will agree that at the outset of this generation, maybe 360 was he underdog (unless of course you count the wii). But over the course of the generation, PS3 and playstation gamers have been shit on so much that it's NOW the underdog.

Just my opinion.

Maybe you can call them the supporters underdog if you want because they haven't been given the praise etc they deserved for their performance thus far but you can't really call them the underdog entirely. Still much of the PS3s advantage rests upon the fact that the PS2 was so successful and the Wii's demise and the close features and value between the Xbox 360 and PS3 causes people to default to their favoured conole which is usually the PS3 especially in 2nd world countries and Japan.

Remember theres 5 years of shit talking on both sides. You have to separate the shit talking which was the answer to the shit talking of others from the actual bagging of the system, noone has really bagged the PS3 since early 2009 AFAIT when I made the 'PS3 is domed thread'. You'll probably find that the PS3 is significantly more well liked than many of the people who claim to like the PS3 (fanboys), and I do mean significantly.



Tease.
