NObody in the thread agreed with you. And, based on your English writing skill I am not even sure you know what the word fact actually means. *rolls eyes*

i know.

none is talking about the topic titel. just the usual bullshit "because xb1 is a bad console" and "more moved to ps4, this isn't good for ms in any way" talk

welcome to the internet

 

 

and yeah, english isnt my native language. dare me im not using it in a perfect way

here is one more fact: my topic generate so much hate by just giving some actual sales figures...

 

 

this is totally on me. for sure

 

 

 

 

I apologise on behalf of all tolerant native english speakers for the prejudicial nature of the previous post. I for one appreciate the effort non-native speakers make in contributing to this forum, so please continue, though try to make threads that draw valid conclusions.

Which brings me to the topic. While it may be true that 360 owners are joining the new gen at a slower pace, it is also true that the absolute decline in Fifa sales on 360 is more than the absolute decline in Ps3 sales: 221k decline for 360, 171k decline for PS3. So the rate of change might be more on PS3, but the numerical change is higher on 360. If Fifa sales is a true measure of conversion it means more 360 owners have converted than PS3 owners. To make it simple, if one PS3 owner joins the new gen, that represents 0.x% of the PS3's user base. If one 360 owner joins the new gen that represents 0.y% of 360's user base. It is the same number of people converting (1), but x>y as a % of the respective install bases.

If the rate of conversion remains the same then all PS3 owners will convert before all 360 owners, but more 360 owners will have converted than the entire PS3 user base. So the conclusion that 360 owners are not converting to the new gen in big numbers is not valid. It is only that there is a much bigger user base to convert from so it will take longer to work through that user base.

Of course all this is predicated on the launch sales of one game, which is a very poor statistical measure to work from.
