| J_Allard said: It's in last place right now and this thread exists right now. Also, 2nd place this late in the game is still a failure for a company coming off PS/PS2 and the billions they lost. Your comment about "worst region" was just a hilariously bad attempt at taking a swing at the 3DS. It makes absolutely no sense no matter how you try to justify it. So lets recap this. People are talking about the 3DS and you come in and say "well LOL US is ps3's worst territory and it still outsells 3ds LOL". Well the PS3 sold 17,000,000 units over the last 4 years in the US. In Japan, it sold 6,000,000. So you're basically saying that even though the PS3 sells three times as much in the US as it does in Japan, the 3DS not outselling the PS3 here is something to be ashamed of or something, because the PS3 happens to be the #2 home console in Japan. Yikes. Don't strain yourself with that reach. The PS3 was on pace to outsell the 360 from the moment it launched. You guys are really overrating this negativity surrounding the PS3. Do not confuse NeoGAF threads and Kotaku articles with the real world please. |
I don't get what's so hard to understand or what you think is a reach. As I've mentioned I'm comparing marketshare in the different regions when I say PS3's worst region is US. Of course it sells more in the US the US has a larger population. Of course there are flaws when comparing handhelds to consoles such as Japan liking handhelds a lot more and thus the 3DS sells more there than any home console in any region. I'm just saying it's not great when you're getting outsold by a product that is years older and $80 more expensive in that products worst (as in worst marketshare and mindshare, trust me I live in the US and PS3 isn't too strong here) region.
Also considering people like Gabe Newell were saying PS3 should be discontinued and that it was being outsold by 360 in 08 I think there really was that much hate. $599 was huge and turned a great many people away.
Also also the thread exists because the comeback is inevitable at this point. Why not be pre-emptive about it? Now the only real question as far as this "comback" goes is whether or not PS3 can pass Wii eventually.
