Amirica is that the island next to cloudcuckoo?

Joking aside, this gen has been a success for MS regardless of the position it ends up at, but the same can be said for the PS3 only the diehards would have predicted it to reach 50mil 3yrs ago.

Enjoy your cookie.


Yep.  The 360 is like the first person in his family to go to college, and gets his degree and gets starts up his own small buisness.  While the PS3 is like the guy who's parents expected him to be a doctor, and pushed him real hard until he burned out, quit yale and right before his parents thought he'd never move out... opened up a similarly sized buisness across the way.

Okay I'm confused now, you are still talking about the PS3 and the XBOX 360 right?

People could make hundreds of threads about what you said..

You were their telling people PS3 has no games;..you were their laughing your ass off when DQX got announced for Wii and how this will be the end of PS3 and how all devs will now make games only for Wii and will stop making games for PS3 especially in Japan, you were their saying how the porn industry bacs kup HD-DVD and how Blu Ray will be dead, you were their calling people idiots who said Wii will not reach 50% marketshare at the end of this gen and a lot more stuff...  At the end Pachter compared to you looks like a great analyst..

You are not a mean person, most of the older members know you unemployed and used your frustration to make fun of the PS3, I admit it was fun at the beginning and your posts made some sense, but when PS3 was doing better and your predictions one by one end up wrong you first become annoying with only picking up the things you were right in and trying to still make fun of PS3  'Sure the PS3 was lucky and sold more than the Dreamcast but will it pass the GC?' And then you ended up an horrible annoying person, most of the users who were making fun of PS3 back then dissapeared or simply stopped talking shit about PS3... but no, you went on and when your post did not made any sense anymore and even N-fans and mods were critizing you,  you showed who you were really are,  you worked your frustration on the mods, you didn't stop posting how mods were sucking and then you became pathetic with creating thread after thread how mods suck and how vg was an horrible place;..you got banned for a week and managed to create 17 new accounts to complain again...  'Why is AoA banned?  why is Okey banned' you were not alone though you Weezy, Konnichiwa, AoA and the rest of idiots fucking up the forums with complaining about the site.. 

You are damned lucky that what after you did the mods let you came back but it is only sad you didn't changed and that you are now even (using an famous VG term) cherrypicking on the stuff you were right about while everyone who has been here for some time you said a lot of stuff that end up wrong..

I'm amused with what you wrote down here, and yes i made alot of fun of sony, but most of the things you wrote down here are terribly far from the truth. im not gonna point out things but i say consider what u said before you start saying things you don't remember correctly. Yes i am lucky i am still on vgc but that is a whole different story and has nothing todo with this:) if you interested in the facts pm me. and leave it out of here please

releasing a year and a half before kinda helped



Even if the PS3 does end up marginally outselling the Xbox 360, which I'm sure it will by the time the generation has come to an end, even the most loyal fanboys have to admit that this generation has been a massive disaster for Sony, and pretty solid success for Microsoft. Microsoft may end up in "third" position, but this doesn't negate the fact that they have essentially swallowed up half of the PS2 userbase in just six years.

Microsoft and Sony will go into the next generation with a comparable mindshare in gamers, something that certainly wasnt the case when the 360 and PS3 were released. The next generation will be very interesting indeed.

Hardcore 360 fanatic: HAHAHA No games you can never catch 360 in sales ,PS3 is teh doomed!

THIS IS BASICALLY WHAT I SEE WHEN EVER I FIND THREADS LIKE THESE NOW A DAYS.

What happened to ps3 has no games?  and not selling well? and will never catch the 360?

All it is was TALK SHIT when ps3 was doing bad now that is back up and looks to beat your console RUN LIKE A PUSSY.


Pretty true.  I remember when I first joined here the gap was ~8 mil.  And all 5 MS fanboys would laugh at you if you even suggested that once the PS3 got a price cut it would start to close the gap.  A lot thought it would only grow, or at the very most, stay the same.  Now here we are, not even 2 years later, and the gap is 3.4 mil (2.8 mil shipped).  And it seems to only be getting smaller.  Which has brought about a higher number of people trying to play off this accomplishment and say it doesn't really matter.  Of course, before the Slim launched, the gap did matter. 

fixed

LOL, hey there was more than 5.  Well ok , maybe just 5 fanboys, but I'm talking about normal fans of the 360.  Some, if not most, of the Nintendo fans agreed.  Seems quite a few have changed their tune, or just straight up left all together, once the numbers didn't say what they wanted them to.

Heh well thats just how it works...with all fans of all consoles.

Aah, but you're forgetting one thing:  The next gen doesn't start until Sony says it does.  That means that everything that happened prior to that is null and void.  Sony wins!

November 17th, 2006 compared to November 22nd 2005.  A year and a half?  By your math, I'm 51 years old!!



IIRC there were plenty of MS supporters back then, not so much posting now. However, a lot of Nintendo fans were also lumped in with the MS ones as it seems if you say something anti-Sony it would automatically mean you are a MS supporter. Some may have moved on, but some still linger.

PS actually had more people back then than MS did and continues to today. They constantly trolled Xbox, especially RROD threads, and constantly praised every title as the next coming. Most still do today. Xbox had their share as well, trolling plenty of the XXXX is year of the PS threads and XXX game is going to sell millions, as well as creating the PS has no games thread. This is not exclusive to VgChartz, but many gaming sites.

As for the sales, most consumers do not care about the numbers that people argue here. All the systems have sold very well, and no amount of these loyalist arguments are going to change that. Some of these comments go beyond ridiculous and should just be ignored or reported.

This post makes me giggle.

 

 


LOL makes me laugh when I remember how 360 fans were the internet though guys around these forums back in 2007.

Seriously dude I can't tell whether you're taking the piss or if you actually believe what you're writing. Either way it's comedy.

See Xbox 360 fans probably don't really care at this point whether the 360 gets passed by the PS3. The Xbox 360 doesn't need to be compared to the PS3 to be considered a success given it's doubled the userbase of the XB1 and is profitable etc. The only people who really care are trolls and people who have an interest in discussing sales... and trolls like seeing posts like the two you just made.

So basically they don't care now all of a sudden?  after years of talking shit about no games and 8m GAP and ps3 not selling well? sweet thats exactly what I just said.

And if only trolls care about this stuff then Im pretty sure almost all of members here in VGC are trolls then since at one point they did discuss this topic which means they care, heck your here posting you obviously care other wise why would you get your self into a discussion about something you have no interest in its not like your forced to post here.

I (being a EX-box fan get it el oh el) stopped caring about XBox 360 and PS3 dick comparsion back in 2008, I couldnt give a shit about either one of them, its been 5-6 years since they been out and people are still talking mad shit about the other console as if it just came out. 

Thats just me though, there are people who worship their plastic, chinese made, sweat shop toys, as if it were a gods entertainment.
