sooo when is this thread getting locked?

How about this? My analysis:

PS3 is only at 30.4 Million, since 8% of PS3's fail (so 33 million * .92 = 30.36) and they only have a 1 year warranty, most of them died out of warranty and have thus been replaced by the owner.

360 is actually at around 38.5 million, because they instituted the 3 year warrany in 2006 and only a small amount could have died outside of the warranty that just started expiring. So we can assume that MS replaced the vast majority of them under the warranty, and DID NOT count those as sales.

So the difference in installed base is actually 8.2 million in favor of the 360.

NOW, prove me wrong. You can't of course because this is all based on bad math and speculation, just like the FORUM POST in the OP. You can't prove nonsense wrong, because it's nonsense.

Thank you, that is how to do it! people take note. Bull is best beaten with better bull everytime

what a ridicilous thread lol

360 sold more consoles thats a fact that determines which console is ahead.

1. Sorry about that.  I was feeling somewhat frustrated last night as I felt like I was merely being mocked rather than debated with.  I agree the tone was quite uncalled for, and I apologize.

2.  I didn't disregard them.  I pointed out that some titles sell better on one platform, and some sell better on the other, yet on the whole, more titles sell better on ps3 than 360 these days. 

3.  Yes, they do have much higher total sales on 360.  They enjoyed the lionshare of their sales at a time when, unlike the 360, the ps3 was doing pretty horrible.

4.

I did.  On page three.

On the whole, I would've been far more open to criticism had either you or themanwithnoname simply pointed out reasons why my conclusion might not be sound rather than essentially rolling your eyes at me.  All it did was motivate me to defend my point rather vehemently.  It was your tone that infected my tone.

And now I'm done with this topic.  In the end, a majority of multiplatform titles sell better on ps3 these days, as shown by the total sales of new games released this year.  How that should be interpreted seems to vary wildly depending on the person.

Because speculation and false assumptions is more credible than facts?

Yeah, I wasn't aware "originality" was required when starting a new thread. I wonder how many threads someone could go around and lock if that were actually a rule.

Yeah the PS3 maybe selling a bit better than the Xbox360,
but honestly, the difference ain't very big. With all these hardware releases
and games, i don't see a huge sale gap happening between them.

yea if we talk about people that bought the console once. but before anyone else does, lets say that since the PSslim realeased every third person that owns a phat ps3 buys a slim. i can't do the math cause i don't have time, but wouldn't that put them on about equal sales?

Are you trying to switch your stance in the middle of the argument now? What happened to your stance of not caring how old games were? Facts are facts, and the PS3 has been selling more software in the Americas lately, and as you correctly pointed out, God of War III isn't the reason, nor are the other PS3 exclusives that have been released this year as they've slowly drifted down the charts. So if we use your logic, which you for whatever reason, think is applicable to the world and not the Americas, then there is a little short of 9 million people who have either had their consoles failed and not replaced them, or bought them themselves even though there's been a three year warranty for sometime.

You can't switch your stance and go out of the top 100 software sales that you used for the world and say that a majority of multiplatform titles were selling better on 360 in NA, when you shot me down for doing the exact same thing with world sales.
