It's really surprising considering how much the PS2 outsold the Xbox by. The fact that sales of the 360 and PS3 are so close and people think it's an amazing victory for Sony shows just how far expectations for the Playstation brand have fallen since the PS2.
There was a time when if you told someone that an Xbox brand console would keep up with a Playstation brand one for even a year people would have had good laughs over it. I guess those days are over. |
OMFG what FUD, what fanboy spin. PS2 was out before XBox, so XBox was in the position PS3 is now in, and it never got CLOSE to PS2...what is it, like 5 to 1 or 6 to 1 now, PS2 vs XBox sales? Whereas, PS3 is going to outsell 360 lifetime, easily. So, Sony can release later and outsell MS, where MS got stomped launching 2nd. That PS2 was such a sucess was a huge score for Sony. If PS3 is not as huge of a success, that's not a point for MS. What matters is how much each company will make in profits from current gen machines. Sony will make way more. MS has had, what, one profitable year so far in console gaming, NOT counting the billion dollar loss from RRoD? LOL. I'm sure Sony's happy to sell so many PS2s still...they make way more $ on those than on the PS3s. But don't worry, PS3 prices will keep coming down and Sony will roll over Microsoft in profitability. The Dreamcasting continues. |
I'm not the one with the fanboy spin you are. I stated a fact that the PS2 outsold the Xbox by a lot and you chose to spin it.
I also stated that a lot of people (especially many Playstation fans) expected the PS3 to be another PS2 and crush the competition coming out the gate. It didn't, and it doesn't matter about the games because in the end the expectations were there that it was going to quickly claim first spot. It's funny how many excuses are now being made because the system didn't live up to expectations. |
You are right, many Playstation fans did think the PS3 would own the competition. Then a funny thing happened, a Sony rep, I blieve Kaz Harai (or however his name is spelled), came on stage and announced a $600 price tag. From then on, only the hardest of the hardcore believed that Sony would crush the sompetition when the price is 2.5x the Wii and almost double the 360.
