Forums - Sales - Its time to admit it. PS3 will NEVER overtake 360.

If the PS3 somehow wins over American consumers (I still don't understand why it hasn't yet), then there is no way the 360 will outsell the PS3 worldwide.

 

However, for some reason us Americans are still in love with the 360. I cannot fathom why.


Buy one and find out then, it's probably the same reason why nobody can understand why people insisted on buying a PS3 pre 2009

Lol, no. I made my educated decision 2 years ago, and it was the right decision. I'm not going to waste my money on the 360 the way I wasted my money on the Xbox.

Most of 360 exclusives tend to be geared to Americans (Gears, Halo, L4D, Mass Effect, Crackdown, etc). The controller seems to be made for shooters, which Americans like. Also, since Microsoft is an American company, they may know how to attract Americans better.

Good for you kid... i wont waste my money aswell on a Ps3 i play on my brother´s one and i dont like it and i enjoy 1000x more the 360 and im European.


Why Americans Choose Xbox ? Better Controller , Better Shooters , Better Online , Friends that have Xbox buy Xbox because Friends , ESPN , 1st to have NetFlix and so on... And maybe because it has became the mainstream Console for HC Gamers on Americas.

Really that's the only reason. I have a lot of friends that ultimately buy the 360 because their friends have the 360.

 

Sony blew it, they don't have enough multiplayer games, and if there is multiplayer, there's no single-console multiplayer.

BY single-console, I'm assuming you mean offline multiplayer.


They seem to be stepping up this holiday. GT5, LB2, Socom 4. All have offline multiplayer (not sure about socom). Most of the move games will have multiplayer.

Then KZ3 may have offline multiplayer (I doubt it). Motorstorm 3 will most likely have offline multiplayer. If resistance 3 releases, it should also have offline multiplayer based on R1 and R2. Twisted Metal will definitely have offline multiplayer.

Unfortunately, most of those games don't cater to a western audience. The PS3 needs an Uncharted with some local multiplayer, or some Killzone, even a game like inFamous (or just online inFamous?). In other words, it needs some shooters with local competitive modes.

Live in ignorance then, it's your loss not mine, I don't regret buying any of my consoles as I can play EVERY game I choose.  You might sound a more reasonable individual if you actually pointed out it was the right decision for you personally, it wasn't and still isn't for a lot of people.

True, but, I must say one of the Twisted Metals (don't know which one) sold 2 million in America. That's fairly big. However, I don't know if Americans really want another Twisted Metal. We'll see.



I take my PS3 for what it is, a good games console and decent bluray player.

but after all this time, I'm back on Xbox Live, I download all my HD movies, so there's no need to have Bluray anymore, I haven't turned on my PS3 in over 5 months. and now that Call of Duty maps will only be on Xbox 360 for the next 3 years, I doubt the PS3 will even get a look in.
