Forums - Sales Discussion - Aaron Greenberg: XBOX 360 almost twice PS3 WW install base

How does this guy get out of bed without killing himself? I do not care what he meant, bottom line his math plain sucks. I will say this, he really is trying to use any excuse he can find to "down" play the importance of blu-ray as a media format. I still have never heard any developer ever say that too much space is a bad thing. Blu-ray FTW!

He's obivously talking about NA, as always.

It's amusing that he never talks about worldwide numbers though

why is it Amusing ? 360 is Still Ahead WW.



Atto Suggests...:

Book - Malazan Book of the Fallen series 

Game - Metro Last Light

TV - Deadwood

Music - Forest Swords 

"Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg has claimed that Xbox 360 has "nearly twice" PS3's worldwide installed base"

"being $100 cheaper [than PS3] is part of the reason we're nearly twice their installed base"

Greenburg's not in the wrong- you can see he just means NA because he uses American currency. It's the interviewer that got it wrong and said WW. Greeny's in the clear. For now...

Because he constantly talks about how 360 is outselling PS3 weekly in the US.

And now he suddenly says 360 has DOUBLE the install base WORLDWIDE.

Take a look at the numbers for yourself and you will see otherwise.

He did not say "worldwide"

"being $100 cheaper [than PS3] is part of the reason we're nearly twice their installed base".

wow he does say worldwide

This is the worst PR comment ever confirmed.....beats any ken kutaragi one

He says nothing of the sort.  Only the stuff in quotation marks are his words (assuming the reporter doesn't totally fail in using direct quotes).

I'd suspect this is a bad edit job where the quote is used improperly and it wasn't caught.  Greenberg knows exactly where he is at worldwide - there's pin and there's just stupid.  Greenberg spins, as that is his job, after all, but he is not an idiot.



Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?

On second thought, this HAS to be a misquote, given it wasn't quoted.
