last 2 posts are classic.

If I know slowmo, he already KNOWS 360 sales are worse. So trying to fling that back at us as some sort of retort is going to do nothing, textbook damage control though that is ..

Well me and him don't have that mindset. We don't get offended/hurt when someone bashes the 360

just a quick pull up on that wording. ^

its kinda used a lot on here if A isnt selling as good as B

the word worse denotes crappyness, which isnt the case with 360 WW, if a product isnt selling as good as another its more than possible that its still selling good. if u know what i mean.



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

If we all use "proper" words describing the argument, there won't be much of an argument left.

I want to know why people are now claiming this thread is full of "PS3 is doomed". Nearly as soon as this thread was started PS3 fanboys started claiming "shortage, shortage, shortage". IOI said PS3s can easily be found. I believe he is right, I was in 2 different BestBuys this week and they had ample supplys and so did our Costco. Yes anecdotal, but with IOI comment it is safe to say you can easily run out and pickup a PS3 if you want one.

i can't believe people are arguing over sales around this time of the year. IMO sales now are irrelevant.

oh look at how fast the people on the ps3 is teh DOOMED bandwagon, hopefully Sony sort out these shortages, as for PS3 being over tracked, in your dreams, if anything it is under tracked and there are shortages in the US, never mind Japan will sort this out x360 to be outsold this week by at least 20k

When will the PS3 not be in shortage?  The day it perhaps outsells the 360 again?  There is hardly anyone saying the PS3 is doomed but an awful lot of Sony fans running daage control on what are frankly bad numbers given the huge momentum Sony had going into the holiday period.

oh my god.  it was having shortages when it was on top of 360, too.  and this when the heavy discount pricing of 360 has been in effect, on and off, for a month or more now.

hey, by bad numbers do you mean the ones showing ps3 in the lead WW?  even with said discounts for 360 in the US as stated above?

Don't worry he'll realize sooner or later how calling ps3 sales bad just made teh 360 look worst LOL!

Rather immature guys but say what you like, you're only painting yourselves in a bad light. 

I didn't mention whether 360 sales are good or bad I can only assume you seem to think that by telling me they are in somehow bad you would wind me up.  It still doesn't change the simple fact that the PS3 sales in the US are terrible given the circumstances.  360 sales are bad everywhere except the US and UK imo, but thats hardly relevant to a US hardware sales trhead now is it?

Nice for Wii. And MH3.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

With the thread about Avatar Blu-Ray sales noticed that PS3 sales were not bumped by one of the biggest Blu-Ray releases ever. At this point could only see the Star Wars movies being bigger Blu-Ray releases. Think it is safe to say that Blu-Ray on PS3 is treated as oh thats nice, but if I want a Blu-Ray player I will be looking at one of those $100 models.

Good grief, people are still trying to claim PS3 shortages?!?



Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

What i find funny about this thread is that the people who track the sales say there are no shortage problems, some people say they have seen lot's of them at their local shops, some people pointed out that the sources being used to show they are out of stock are actually false i.e it is claimed amazon are out http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-3-120-GB/dp/B002I0J4VQ/ref=pd_ts_zgc_vg_14210671_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&pf_rd_p=475995051&pf_rd_s=right-6&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_i=14210751&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=07JMGTWQ33P20SSV7VEM clearly in stock.

But when people show this infomation it is ignored. If you try and say the ps3 numbers are not shortage related then you must be on the ps3 is doomed band wagon!!

Which is just silly and makes the people thinking that look a bit daft. Sales go up, sales go down, accept it.
