Don't anybody dare say anything negative about the 360 in these parts. Very pro 360 as to be expected from an american site. Did anyone else notice it getting its butt smacked by a little inferior box?

Congratulations, in a thread full of fail, you win for the biggest fail.



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

I love how this site is ALWAYS referred to as bias for a different console every time I go to the forums. I guess that means the site really must be unbias considering I've seen the site called Playstation bias, Nintendo bias, and now Xbox bias. But your logic about it being an "american" site isn't quite true. The founder of the site is not even from America....He's from England I believe.

England still helps the argument lol

This was more recent, and we haven't seen its effect yet. This week, it's just the Best Buy bundle. So yes, actually non-bundled games did account for quite a portion of its sales.

Of course, but so did the bundles and it ran from the GT5 launch through Christmas. In any case, Forza 3 won't sell as much as GT5 for 2 reasons. 1) It's not as popular Worldwide as GT5. 2) The series hasn't been exposed to as many gamers as GT5.

The sales has nothing to do with the quality of the games. It's like those singing and dancing competition, where the most popular person win and the most talented comes in 2nd or 3rd.

Oh no doubt, and that's not my intention. It's just this poster named extagenesis decided to try and downplay GT5's American sales, so I was just pointing out how it's a fallacious comparison. Now, if GT5 was bundled all around the US, that's a different story.


I could have sworn I've seen a picture of GT5 bundle when it launched in America, so for about a month now.

Yea gamestop bundle.... Gamestop had a bundle for last week but that was it... But both forza and gt5 are selling well

Ew North America is so uninformed... seriously why would any buy the xbox 360 when there is a much better product in every way...

Unless they are all about Kinect or somthing I do not get it.


lol, hard to believe people even seriously make comments like this. It's sad really, anyways Good numbers for all systems.

Its annoying to see such a much better quality product flounder in America due to whatever reason.... seriously

Better quality? Really? In what way exactly? Isn't it a matter of opinion and taste? Why should one be bad and not the other? Simple as that really respect each others opinions.

NO actually its not a value of taste... The components of the ps3 are superior than 360 components...

I'm just surprised people are still buying Xbox these days when ps3 got its price down....

Has anyone compared the 2011 games for xbox vs ps3 by the way lolll....... I'm done now, just had to get out anger...

You do realize that the graphic processing unit in the 360 absolutely murder's PS3's, right? So your statement that PS3 has superior components throughout is patently false.

Pachoo..... dont get me started on the technical comparison between the console... thats my major.... and I promise you Xbox gets smoked....

I'll keep my mouth shut about this now because it never goes welll... 2011 should speak for its self... happy holidays all!

LOL, it is your major huh? Care to explain to me how the PS3's graphics unit is better than the 360's? I have read some of your posts on this forum and you really don't know what you are talking about.

This issue has been argued to death at beyond3d and it is pretty much accepted that the 360's GPU > PS3's GPU.


It's clear that his major is bullshitting.

In my opinion, people are not buying the 360 nor the PS3 for the "graphics unit" nor the "technical superiority" people buy the 360 more  because IN MY OPINION It has better exclusives (not as good as Nintendo) Halo, Gears, Mass Effect (for a while anyway) and Fable all are pretty famous and attract buyers, even my non gamer friends know who Master Chief is, yet they have no idea about Kratos nor Nathan Drake, and the blue Ray argument got old, everyone has a blue ray player by now.

Sorry for you GT5! Forza in his 60th week make's your debut nothing important...

You know what the really funny thing is?  GT5 in 4 weeks has 4.11 million sales, which is like 75% more sales than Forza 3...which has been out for 60 weeks.

Dude, it's a dead horse. The sales are like that because Forza 3 is bundled all around. GT5 isn't (only in Best Buy).

Actually GT5 was bundled as well. You didn't think it sold those numbers NOT being bundled, did you?

Sony bundled their games just as much as Microsoft so enough with excuses fellows.

U forgot to mention that this is your opinion. Offending others based on their likes and dislikes and thiers being different from your own doesn`t give u a right to insult their choice. IMO X360 is the best system out there due to reasons I have mentioned many times in the past. However, I also know that not everyone feels the same way and some would say the Wii or PS3 are the best. That doesn`t make their opinion or my opinion any worse or better than the other. So go enjoy the system you enjoy and let the others do the same.



 How our favorite systems are just like humans and sometimes have issues finding their special someone...

Xbox 360 wants to KinectPS3 wants to Move!  Why are both systems having such relationship problems?  The reason is they both become so infactuated with desire while watching the Wii as it waggles on by. They simply want what they can't have.

Can't wait until PS3 gets stronger in America.

This is wack yo.


It will grow in sales but in America it will never surpass X360. It is just WAY too far behind it at this point. I just don`t get why this bothers Sony fans so badly. Heck all of us Microsoft fans had to deal with this last generation and it never harmed anyone. PS3 is doing just fine.

Just because it is in last in the console race doesn`t mean Sony is not pleased with its current performance or that this means doom for Playstation.

There really is nothing whack about NA sales either... Japan leans more towards homemade products while in Europe sales are very close in regards to PS3/X360 overall total sales instead of more like NA due mainly to brand loyalty and faith in Sony. (This last segment is based on my opinion and why I think sales vary so highly in each of the 3 major regions.)

I'm aware that it won't catch X360.

Psshh....the 360 was suppose to die this year.....how does a dead console sell a million in a week? Ill tell you , it doesnt.....


YOU tell me....wasnt PS3 suppose to get discontinued like 3 years ago(2007)? how is it still selling  well?

Again pssh....thats nothing.....the 360 was suppose to be discontinued with the release of the ps3 which was 2006 btw.

But hey look on the bright side.....no more talk about dead consoles until next year when the 360 will again have to prove itself to teh awesome brand power of sony which they still clearly have......fun times ahead I always say.



N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!
