I disagree if we're talking relative to other consoles. (Most console owners don't care about sales at all.) There are more PS3 owners on here than there are Nintendo or MS users (combined?) on here. Obviously, this is a miniscule sample, but going just bz this, that happening when there are significantly fewer people in the PS3 users than Nintendo or MS in general probably suggests that a higher proportion of PS3 owners care about sales than others.

The sheer amount of useless logic in this post is outstanding xD

He's very close to being right.

Sony fans make up a majority on the gamingwebz as a whole. The smallest group online is actually Nintendo fans, and since this site is around 40% Nintendo-leaning, Ninty fans probably care a lot more about sales than either Sony or Microsoft fans. Perhaps it's because a Nintendo gamer is generally either a really core gamer, who has owned multiple Nintendo consoles in the past, or a new/casual gamer, for whom the Wii is either a first console, or the successor to the PS2 (which was, of course, the equivalent last generation, except that for some reason, Sony fans were still more concentrated than Ninty fans then. Ah well).


No i wasnt taling about the part of who cares about sales etc i ment the part of there being more sony fans on the sight than M$ and Nintendo combined :P 

It's about 45% Sony, 45% Ninty and 10% Microsoft, so again, pretty close.

But then that was pre-3.0, so I'm not sure how it stacks up now.

Aaaah ok ^^ I realy used to like 3.0 :(  (wasnt member yet just visited alot)



Yeah i know my spelling sucks but im dysgraphic so live with it :3

What are you implying, good sir.

PlayStation fans care more about good hardware than its sales


I think you just proved the OP.  If a console has good specs and crappy sales guess what, the console manufacturer will go bankrupt.  If you enjoy something you should care about sales becuase if something doesn't sell, the company behind it fails.  Crappy logic.


You honestly think Sony will go bankrupt? Ok...

I didn't say that.  Notice that I didn't even say Sony in my reply.  I was making a point that if you like something you should care about its sales, because if it doesn't sell it will not be supported in the future.  Don't try to put words in my mouth and way to miss the point of my post.

no, the company should care about sales, thats none of my buisness. Sony is a multi-billion international company that is making ,oney, so there is no need to care about theri financial state. Its not like they will go bankrupt tomorrow.Going by your logic, no one should have owned PS3 back in 2006-07- I, as a customer, care alot more  about the product's specs im buying than its sales. MAybe thats just me, but thats the way it is.

Since ps1 and ps2 were inferior hardware wise, had a higher failure rate than thier competition and still finish first first in each gen. While the ps3 is a beautiful reliable powerful machane and is in third. Logic would dictate playstation fans don't like good hardware.

PS2 and PS1 didnt have a ''high'' failure rate. disc reading error  PS2 was fixed shortly after launch, and PS1's heat problmes were fixed by PSOne. if you wann see high failure rate look at Xbox. 2nd The technical gap between PS2 and Xbox&GameCube was smaller than you think. Not to mention that PS2 played DVDs. PS1 may have been behind N64 tech wise, but it didnt fall short in graphics department. PS1 had one of the most beutifull games of 5ht gen in its libary. And ''good'' hardware isnt alwyas the most powerfull one. I

@bolded  How is that going by my logic?  It makes no sense.  I said that you should care about sales if you want something supported.  Please tell me how it's by my logic.  I guess you're trying to say that Sony lost money on each console sold and somehow that is what I'm saying.  It's not what I'm saying and nothing in my post even eludes to that.  Don't assume stuff, it doesn't turn out well.

That's not at all what I said.  If you enjoy a product that you bought you should care about the sales so it gets continuing support.  Sit back and actually read my posts and I never said to buy stuff that sells well.  I said that sales are important if you want the product supported.  I simply can't understand how you've misread everything I've posted and tried to put words in my mouth.
