Nope, not suprised. Expected? Yes.


does market share matter in an award show = no if not Ninty would have won all the damn e3's..stupid argument - check

has gt5 being previewd as a technical marvel of a game by all gaming journalists from around the world= check

does move and gt5 deliver on what they promise - check

has move's accuracy and games recived good previews from gaming media - check

was MS there? did they have a long event to showcase kinect and it's games? were there new games for them? check

did most of the media leave without being impressed by their games/hardware? check

so did sony wipe the floor with the competition by delivering strong on move, casual sw AND SW for the HC - check

did they have great surprises that actually got a lot of buzz - Yep, a highest rated franchise of one of their competition is coming to the ps3 soon

Not surprised to see this type of a post from you - check

conspiracy theories by the bitter and upset - check

:D that is all..have fun ranting folks

Good to see I hit a nerve there :) Otherwise, you would not have spent all this time responding from the obvious pro-Sony side. You call it "conspiracy theory," I call it convenient and backed up by the data. As for me being "bitter and upset," you would do well in not being presumptuous.

Got just what I wanted out of you. Good job in calling out and destroying my argument. Still, I stand unconvinced.

Struck a nerve? "you would do well in not being presumptuous." lol if it struck a nerve I would be upset and angry or something. My answer was from a point of view of giving my opinion on your remark. Even now you say you were backed up by some 'data', and what data would that be? Please do share, would love to have a good discussion on it

and bitter and upset? you? It was a statement made in general but if the hat fits, by all means, wear it. you would do well in not being presumptuous, again.

Anywho yeah it was all in fun, no nerves were hit at all. I just found the whole thing to be rather amusing. If not I wouldn't type such long answers since I don't like long answers (too lazy)

EMEAA Hardware (regional breakdowns below)

Console Yearly (change) Total
DS 3,937,453 (-69%) 53,591,402
Wii 3,212,652 (-65%) 28,276,337
PS3 2,494,887 (-58%) 16,727,510
X360 2,070,996 (-52%) 16,486,507
PSP 1,607,593 (-69%) 24,902,601
PS2 892,745 (-68%) 61,442,758
Total 14,216,326(-65%)

and

EMEAA Software Totals

Console Yearly (change) Total (tie ratio)
Wii 23,339,686 (-60%) 161,310,439 (5.70)
PS3 20,517,701 (-45%) 102,841,108 (6.15)
X360 16,610,586 (-53%) 97,503,800 (5.91)
DS 13,197,599 (-62%) 143,478,436 (2.68)
PSP 3,518,233 (-46%) 25,675,646 (1.03)
PS2 2,713,166 (-66%) n/a
PC 620,219 (-) n/a
Total 80,517,190(-55%)  

Of course, most will point out PS3 having a sub 300k lead over total lifetime sales vs. the Xbox 360. Yes, it is right to say both the PS3 and Xbox 360 have done equally well, with one doing marginally better than the other.

However, a 200k plus lead in hardware translates over into software. If we assume each of those PS3 buyers buys at least 2 games a year, then software sales for the PS3 will be much higher than for the Xbox 360 as evidenced in the Yearly and Total software titles.

The small difference in Total Software sales between the 360 and PS3 can be explained rather easily. At some point early on the Xbox 360 led in Hardware sales meaning more Software sales. As the PS3 has gained momentum and eclipsed the 360, naturally the higher Hardware Totals led to higher Yearly Software sales. The negligible difference in the Total Software is due to the 360 coming out earlier and taking an earlier lead before the PS3 took over.

I can't find anything to argue over.

Kinect failing or something....

http://translate.google.de/translate?u=http://www.videogameszone.de/Kinect-Project-Natal-Input-Device-Consoles-232538/News/Kinect-abgestuerzt-Xbox-360-Steuerung-verweigert-Dienst-auf-der-Gamescom-768761/&sl=de&tl=en&hl=&ie=UTF-8

It still has more than enough time to be fixed. (I'm only posting this because the mods might think I'm posting bullshit to troll Kinect....)

Why dont you actually look through last years winners before posting this crap. Posting sales mean nothing to a game show. If they actually did wii would win everything practicly everywhere.
