This is pure nonsense. 360 typically sees stronger software sales in Q3 and Q4 to make up for it's marginal loss (3% for 2011) sales during the spring and summer. Also PS3 has seen an exclusive Black Ops Bundle already, what has 360 gotten?

small time bundles like black ops keep happening,they don't matter much

360 typically had stronger software sales,doesn't have or will have.

PS3's price range keeps bringing new consumers so their is room for growth

diverse and more exlcusive range that SONY has formed

 

COD gap between PS3 and 360 sales has been shrinking  big time.

360's replacement consoles leave small room for growth,price also leaves small room for growth,software range is a problemt too.

 

and even last year when PS3 HW sales were lower,PS3 software sales were so good

 

Look at 2010 figures

ConsoleYearly (change)Total (tie ratio)
Wii 184,450,648 (+1%) 628,377,813 (7.62)
X360 136,565,517 (+25%) 446,658,991 (8.86)
PS3 131,078,275 (+37%) 353,640,517 (7.64)
DS 122,323,057 (-16%) 645,707,411 (4.53)
PSP 43,547,344 (+10%) 217,088,163 (3.32)
PS2 17,842,192 (-38%) n/a
PC 17,658,763 (+102%) n/a
Total653,465,796(+7%)  

360 software is actually stronger then PS3 software worldwide.

 

they were barely stronger and if you take into account PS3's growth,they will trump 360

 

 

This diversity arguement is nonsense too. Of the top 10 best selling exclusives 360 has 5 shooters, 1 party game, 2 racing games, 1 RPG, and 1 Sports games.

yeah but where does the majority of the sales contribution come from?

PS3 has 5 shooters, 3 racing games, 1 platformer, 1 Action game. 360 has more diversification is anything, and they both have 5 shooters.

lmao

you seriosly haven't been following the game industry what causes trends and where does the growth come from



The week Black Ops was bundled, PS3 saw a hardware increase of 18% in Americas only. It did not see an increase the week on InFamous 2 or E3, don't tell me Call of Duty bundles don't matter. When the difference is 3% they do. Everything else you said just makes no sense.

Just because 360 has good shooters that sell and except for Uncharted PS3 shooters don't, doesn't mean 360 lack diversification. It just means that shooter fans prefer 360, but the games are still diverse.

What trends are you talking about? You claimed PS3 software is higher, yet you were the one ignoring the trend where 360 sells considerably more software in the holidays. 2010 360 software was stronger :P. I proved you wrong and said what I had to say, don't intend on arguing with you further.


Ps3 fans love to talk about diversity, but the truth hurts.. First Person Shooters ARE the best selling games on both consoles.. For some reason PS3 fans typically see Halo or COD selling so many copies on 360 the first thing they say is "All they have is FPS's " when in fact FPS's are the best sellers on PS3 as well.. both consoles have alot of games..  And it used to be if you had the best 3rd party support you were golden.. I think the business model is changing.. 3rd party support isnt as important as it used to be.. because back in the day if you had 3rd party support from a certain company they were loyal to you.. well they arent anymore..In fact all of Sony's loyal 3rd party companies are doing multi platform games now for Nintendo and MS .. Sony lost some exclusives too which would've been "Unheard of" in the Good Ole PS2 days....and  If you're selling alot of games it really doesnt matter if it 3rd or 1st party..
