| Rock_on_2008 said: PS3 may be edging XBox 360 in past 14 weeks by an extra 40 000 consoles sold each week. However software sales are well and truly in XBox 360 favour outselling the PS3 by 2 to 1. PS3 are being bought as Blu-Ray players. The best titles are yet to come for PS3. A lot more quality games are out for XBox 360 at the moment and XBox 360 has a better online service. |
*sigh* PS3s are being bought as game and blu-ray players. You say 2 to 1 on software. If you look at the multiplatform games it's nowhere near 2 to 1, and the PS3 has a better attach ratio. That indicates that as the install base creeps closer the games will sell the same amount or more. Blu-ray is an added feature that also promotes the sale of movies and makes the PS3 a better deal, as it has been since launch but that's an old topic. The 360 has 3 things that are better concerning the online service: in-game messaging, achievements, and movie downloads. The first 2 are confirmed this summer for PS3 and the third doesn't matter much since they are just rentals and not everyone even has a HD to download them to. Sony could add that feature as well. Finally: LIVE COSTS $50 A YEAR. Home will be free.
