Wow ,just wow ,somehow ,the resident trolls have managed (tried more like ) to turn a uber-positive thing about the PS3 into something so-so if not downright bad .... Having someone as moderator that speaks about PS3 owners as "your kind " is really ugly I must admit .Maybe ioi should recover his Wii Gamer nick and the site be renamed WiiGCchartz after all .Come on people ,you love Mario and everything ,but cant you look at soft and hardware numbers without experiencing primal joy to see Sony trailing behind and feeling the urge to slap everyone in the face with phrases as "the war is already over ! " and "sony already lost !" ? Cant you enter a Sony news without the neccesity to downplay it if it is a good new and exaggerate it if its a bad news ?

As for sales numbers we can play the hiding game ,as there arent officials numbers for Europe we play the ostrich and just "pretend " the X360 is keeping pace there as nobody can prove us wrong ....but the few data that has arrived (thats UK numbers and Germany numbers last week ,not to mention Spain software numbers that show the dismal state of the X3660 here and the PS3 already beating it in total software sales )suggest otherwise .I would say ,being nice and all ,that the overall numbers for both consoles are more or less even worlwide .Even so ,this is only a question of time ...once the PS3 starts selling in Japan when the games start to arrive the difference in numbers will decrease faster and faster .Only 25K per week in Japan would mean a massive 90K of difference per month ,and the PSP is making easily 35K units per week ...the PS3 with DMC4,RE5,FFXIII ,FFXIII VS ,White Knight Story,MGS4,Heavenly Sword,Eye of Judgement,Gran Turismo 5,Lair,Ninja Gaiden Sigma,Katamari Damacy,Tekken,Folk Souls,Hot Shot Golf 5,Ratchet & Clank etc etc will see very strong software and hardware sales and then we could start making comparisions.Doing it right now that the PS3 hasnt had any game in japan since end march is wishful thinking more than anything.Things wont be like this for much more time.


Please...did you read the thread? Wii hardly ever comes into the equation...people are shutting down larry because of his obvious fanboy-ish posts...otherwise there's been either good responses or criticisms of the news. And there's nothing wrong with criticism...I certainly would rather pay $89 for an upscaling DVD player instead of $600 for a PS3.


except you can't upscale PS1/PS2 games with a DVD player, now can you?  Obviously the feature is not just for people that want upscaling, it's an addition to the feature set.
