Just goes to show how quality blind we American's are.  The rest of the world realises how amazing the PS3 is but Americans typically cant get past the word Halo in the dictionary, and when we do we generally get stuck at the phrase "PEW PEW PEW" which instinctivly makes us backstep back to the H's and begin talking wth Z's instead of S's on forums.

 

Oh America, how silly!

I'm sorry, but this post is just so full of arrogance.  "My tastes are superior to yours" is the kind of crap I would expect to hear in elementary school.  

For you information, I own every system and each system has tons of quality features and games.  All this post serves to show is how blinded you are by your bias.

That's the DS one, though MK Wii is being bundled too.

This is the first DS bundle since Bowser's Inside Story, I think. Sure wish they were bundling when I bought one. >.>

Well.... first of all is a DS game ;) and being out for years, is still amazing... with or w/o bundles. I mean look at the top 10 and tell me, which games are not bundled.....

Implying people are dumb because they don't have the same tastes as you is rather silly, don't you think?

OT: Kinect over 3 million now. Look for it to keep on trucking and have a massive December.

Actually, I think I know where he's coming from.  In general it seems American as a culture are more prone to falling into hype while more than other cultures having a desire to satisfy instant gratification.  I'm not saying all American's are like this.  I'm just saying the American culture is sadly being push more and more towards this trend.

I just think the PS3 ran into a brick wall against the 360 and had nothing to fight it with.

That wall I'm referring to is Call of Duty, Halo, Fable, and Kinect, all of which are either exclusive or much more popular on the 360 in the Americas (I could've put Fallout in here too).

The PS3 didn't bring much to the holiday at all aside from GT5, which many people probably didn't realize was releasing, and isn't that popular in the Americas anyway, especially compared to all of the above. Only thing the PS3 really had other than that was Sly Cooper (PS2 remake) and Move games, which I think are all more popular in EMEAA.

Combine that with the fact that the Arcade 360 is still sitting there and $199, and I think that's the recipe for a pretty solid win for the 360 over the PS3 in the Americas. That being said, saying it's a "solid win" is a bit of an understatement when it's outselling the PS3 2:1, but you get my point.

didn't expect ps3 to do so bad, kinect is just huge! I mean is it possible for a 30 % install base?



Oh and Wii software > PS360 software!
