its cheap and it has bundles and ps3 is in a slight shortage but i think the real reason is americans want to support an american product even though it has a severely high failure rate (still to this day).

i bought one for a few games but ps3 and pc are my babies.

i think ps3 sells better in canada i really dont know many people that have a 360 but a crapload have wii and ps3

Can you prove it still has a high failure rate? The only 360s I know that break are the older models. The new ones have been really reliable.

 

oh stop it,  its still proven to have above and beyond the highest failure rate even still in 2010, sure its lower than it was during its launch but it still fails and you can read about it anywhere on the web dotn be ignorant

Highest failure rate compared to what? I asked you to prove how the NEW 360s with the NEW chipsets are still a super high failure rate. Until you do that you are just stating random accusations.

Here we go I just disproved your notion so no need to try to argue. First year failure rate with Jasper chipset is 4% according to this artice written Sept of last year. Will it go up as this year moves along? Who knows but as of right now its actually a very low failure rate.

Socom isn't even out yet. Infamous , MGS4, Ratchet and Clank are shooters now? If thats the case 360 has alot more.

Gears 1,2, Halo 3, Mass Effect 1,2, Splinter Cell:Conviction, Bioshock, L4D, and multiplats. I know I left some out but do yourself a favor and check out the metacritic scores for both systems on shooters, figure out the average and see how that works out for you. You can say mine is opinion but the gamer review scores back me up.

I noticed the same but I didnt want to say anything.  Thats like cheering for ottawa at a leafs game.

 

@ tuscaniman

HTF is MG4 not to be considered for all intents and purposes a shooter?  Tactical stealth action I know but you can still run and gun through the entire game therefore = shooter as well.

infamous and R&C I agree

360 it's cheaper, many just buy arcade to replace broken 360.
arcade it's as cheap as the wii.
ps3 short of supply a good while, still is, but getting better at least-


it's weird to see console selling over 200k around this time of year really O_o, sony it's up for a HUGE xmas, with god of war 3, FF13, GT5 on the same year.

and guys,  failure rate it's still high 360, it improved,true, but when u are talking abouit % u can't ignore numbers just to make the article look better.

when u put all numbers together u see numbers like over 50% failure rate.



PS3 do not has a mass appeal exclusive shooter like Halo and Gears of War, hope still lies upon Killzone 3 or Resistance 3 to master the shooter market and make its name well known outside of Sony fans circle, COD 4 has bested Halo which once was thought invisible, so its still probable.

Mean while PS3 will still outsell Xbox worldwide because it has a much wider genre mix (MMO, action adventure, hack and slash, JRPG, ...and some shooters, though no Halo) and it is basically a much better machine (5 hrs Splinter Cell has proven the jokes of last-gen DVD in HD game fight, why cant Ubisoft use 3 DVDs for the game?)

LOL socom is out and ps3 has bioshock 1 and 2

ps3 technically does have more shooters , im not saying they are massive selling games but they do have more and they are all recieved super well by fans and press



Microsoft is an American company.
Sony is a Japanese company.



                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

I will have try and diffuse the whole idea that the Xbox360 is selling on the fact that it is an American based product. Not once in my entire life have I ever heard of a teenager, which let's face it just so happens to be the biggest consumer of the Xbox360, say they want to buy an American made or based product. As far as I know, they just don't give a damn about that. The only thing they care about is if it has the most features and if it is the cool thing to buy. i.e. if all their friends and cool kids have it.

Let's face it, have you ever seen a kid/teen buy a camera from Kodak over a Sony solely on the fact that Kodak is an American company. Ever seen a kid buy a used Ford over a used Honda just because the Ford is American. I know I haven't.

The only people that I have ever known to care about American made are the people who are 30+ years of age.
