it was an april fools joke -_-

That isn't a april fool.

That is active user base.

360 had so much RROD without use of garanty for a new console... so that is possible but not likely... the fact is 360 had a failure rate bigger than PS3.

Original Source: http://www.strategyanalytics.com/default.aspx?mod=pressreleaseviewer&a0=5037

You keep sayng that cause of all the 360 rrod with out any info to back that up. Just cause it rrod does not mean it is not in use. Most would of been fixed through warranty. Others fixed by people who dont feel like sending it in (ie me, i have fixed 4 my self) or sold on ebay for others to fix.

Fact is you have no hard concrete numbers for either system on how many may not be in use for any number of reasons.

The original source is also a joke if I rember correctly that also had no actual facts to back up its claim.

 

That being said, the only active userbase I would even consider partially accurate is one that comes from the big 3 about their own platform backed up by the stats of how many are conected to the internet. Even that i know would be wrong though as so many may not be conected to the internet.

Laugh so hard you cry? I mean this is really a sad pathetic attempt to make the 360 look bad.

Epic Fail

Everyone know's that the 360 is over 50mil, and the PS3 is a fair few mil behind. And the Wii is over 85mil. These figures are so wrong it's laughable



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Isn't Strategy Analytics Sony fanboy haven? Besides, they're clearly spouting nonsense since Wii's "active userbase" to sales ratio would be higher than both 360 and PS3 since they've always had a lower failrate.


Yes, but everybody I know who has a Wii hasn't touched it in years. The gimmicky effect wears off after a while.

How can you even POSSIBLY begin to measure this? you can't, it's just figures to suit their agenda.

......and they know this how exactly?

Anyone quoting this for truth is desperate.

Its BS...and I know this is bs for a few reasons, two of which are; they have the install base of the Wii at 75m and 360's get replaced for free.

but yes, ultimately I think the PS3 will likely overtake the 360....   well done Sony....  does that incredibly expensive victory have an echo?


you sound bitter



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
