It's weird seeing 360 outsell PS3 like that. Pretty much everyone I know that plays games has a PS3, and maybe only half have a 360. |
If you live in UK or USA it's more "360" than "PS3". PS3 is for the rest of the world.
|
I know, my point was that I live in the UK and I experience the total opposite, it's weird.
|
Somebody's got to be in the minority - it just never seems like it. Also both the PS3 and 360 tend to group people around the online, so while as a group it might seem everyone is on PS3 or 360 the larger perspective can easily be different.
I have a PS3 and 360 and two sons, one son's peer group are 360 centric and the other PS3 centric for example. Each thinks their group has tbe better games funnily enough. In fact they are almost a microsm of the HD console wars.

The weird thing is that it's not just my group of friends, it's pretty much my whole school :P
Haha, that must be a pain in the arse. You should just take away their consoles and get them Wiis xD

Well as Seece says your in the (still large) 40% group. Most people at your school being one way or the other would make sense. My sons go to different schools too and one school most boys tend to have a 360, the other a PS3. TBH next gen what's going to make it interesting is to see if pre-formed groups carry over or not - i.e. will a group of friends on Live stay on Live and commit to another Xbox or would then move - and the same of course for PSN/PS3 users.
|
This is very interesting. And both schools are in the same area I'm assuming.
The power of community and word of mouth regarding the adoption of a console is staggering, there is no other explanation I can think of!

Schools are acutally in slightly different areas - one is more academic and one more arts/media, which suits the diffirent skills of my kids. Clearly though immediate peer group preference and - to an extent - demographics are a big part of what's going on. For example you'll find in London that, depending on area, game stores will give you a very different view of the market. I've shopped in some where the PS3 section is massive next to 360 and there are lots of BR films as well. In others PS3 is barely there and it's all 360 and DVDs.
