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.

THEY DO MATTER BUT JUST SHORT TERM like any other bundles.like the ones 360 got with GTA,HALO,GEARS,etc throughout this gen

stop nitpicking.

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.

not saying 360 lacks diversification,its just that 360 isn't as diverse as PS3 and its sales aren't as spread over.

again stop concentrating on one single detail of what i say.

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.

sure it does

each console has its times but that is also how much the gap between 360 and PS3 holidays sales was 3 years ago,what was it 2 eyars ago and what was it last year.you can just look at the gaps of COD games.

u didn't prove shit wrong.

i was debating whether 360 sells better on holidays or not,just that the gap is getting small and when we look ta the whole year the 360 doesn't have that much more in the holidays that will compensate the lower sales full year long



Software bundling does matter, for short term yes? Stop nitpicking? The difference between PS3 and 360 software sales is 3%! You stop nitpicking, or at least make a fair annual comparision. You know 360 software is > PS3 in Q3 and Q4, so stop making silly claims.

yes they are but the gap has been reducing and the lead MS has it not able to cover the gap PS3 sales are over the year.

u don't know what nitpicking means,do you?

As for diversification, 360 has just as much or more then Sony. RPG's exclusives sell better on 360 too. 360 also has more racing games, party games, and

yeah,the old genre's,the genre's list has firther diversified.which year are you living in,1995.

we have more detail genre's these days

generally more exclusives of every genre.

what?

Sales might be focused on Shooters, RPG's, Party games, and Racing games, but that's only because many of 360's shooters, racing games, RPG's and Party games sell over 5 million units, some well over. How many PS3 exclusives have cross that barrier?

when did i say anything about barrier?

stop trying to go off-topic

PS3's diversification lies in games which sell around 1 million units, and 360 has just as diverse of a selection at that sales point. You point thus makes no sense.

we are not talking about diversification of sales point but games

As for proving you wrong, you said PS3 software is greater then 360 software.

i was talking as of today not old sales

It isn't, you were wrong and I showed you that.

ooooh i'm scared

PS3 software may become greater in the future, but you said in the present PS3 software is greater, which is wrong. Yes PS3 is 1,500 more sales now, but Gears of War 3 alone will make up for the difference,

we will see where the total SW goes for the FY

nevermind the typically noticably higher sales 360 has in fall.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY TYPICALLY?

sales change over the generation and as by buisiness strategy

360 software will be greater in 2011, just like it has been every single year.

they might but the gap will be even lower leading into bigger sales for PS3 in 2012

As for other trends, let's actually take a look. MW1 sold 50% better on 360 then PS3 correct? Well there was also 76% more 360's on the market then PS3's at the time (thanks to the head start 360 had).MW2 sold 35.8% better on 360 then PS3 correct? Well at the time there were only 15.4% more 360's then PS3s. Account for the difference in consoles and well MW2 sold 9% more units per console on 360 then MW1 did.

sure but that difference was distributed among other PS3 titles as PS3 fans aren't that FPS focused.you can take that as a genre locating system thing

Ahh, now you see, the trends do not support you.

AH,NOW you see

Other Trends, The sales difference for AC: Brotherhood is larger then AC2, despite the hardware difference being smaller. This would imply that software is increasing more on 360. This story also holds for Fallout, Battlefield, and others.

we aren't discussing titles based sales.

was just pointing out that some gap have been made up in title to platform comparision

 

don't relate total to specific title sales directly,i too wasn't
