Relative to c. Get it right. -- Yes, the real successes will be in profit margins (Nintendo +++, Microsoft +, Sony ---) and brand or franchise loyalty for the next generation (uncertain, but the Playstation brand is dying). |
Uhm...actually I did get it right.
Everything is relative...to everything. Its pretty much based on the idea that there is a lack of an absolute reference frame. In other words there is no person, thing, etc..that has more claim to standing still than any other person or thing..etc...
This is a simplistic example, and one that ignores the fact that mankind uses the earth as an absolute reference frame(its not but it suffices for our purposes)...but if you were moving towards me at 50mph you would have just as much claim to being stationary as I would. My claim would be that "You are moving towards me at 50 mph." and yet you are just as justified in the claim that it is I who am moving towards you.
I think the easiest way to imagine it is this. Imagine an infinite expanse of space that only contains two objects. Now when the two objects are getting closer to each other...which one is correct in saying the other is moving? The answer is a matter of perspective, from each objects perspective the other object is getting closer. Hence both objects have equal claim to being stationary.

DS hasn't had much of a boost yet this Christmas in America, and even then hasn't sold as much software this year as 360.
Of course worldwide the 360 has nothing on the DS, on a normal month in Japan (ie not this or last month) DS sells more software than the 360 has sold since launch.
And i am quite sure that in PAL software the DS will be significantly above 360, particularly recently.
And as eugene said "13 million 360s" or something, he must have been refering to WW numbers but using American as a reference.
On the whole DS vs 360 thing...
I've always thought it rather silly to compare hand-held sales to console sales. Isn't that kind of like saying "Look, Huffy bicycles outsell Mercedes automobiles."
Does anyone really buy a hand-held INSTEAD of a console?
Gamers have 3 choices this generation: The Exercise Machine, the Movie Machine, or the Game Machine. What kind of gamer are you?
Also, do you consider a $5 or $10 xbox live arcade game sale? Microsoft makes a killing off of them also. Id say it counts.
Also consider that the DS has been out longer and has a an installed base 5x as large and games are generally $20-$30 where as a 360 game is $60.
