I read this whole thread and now I have a headache. Please Black_Scurge, don't make another one of these threads with pointless data.

He keeps coming up with cryptic answers 'it's unfair to give MS an extra year of games' not that, that actually answers the question of why a copy of Gears sold today doesn't count but a bopy of LBP does.

But like I pointed out already, if you include all sales of VIva, Gears and PGR3 after the PS3 was on shelves, the 360 is ahead, hence why he doesn't want to do that.

Because I'm comparing games released after the ps3 release 

I've noticed only people who have an issue with the results have an issue with my method, interesting huh

Neither way is 'fair' - the current method he used to calculate it discounts games lke GoW and Viva Pinata that sold the majority of games after the PS3 release... which is illogical. On the other hand if you include them, it's a bit distorted as you're effectively comparing PS3 software sales from a system which start on 0 userbase versus a system which started around 11m or whatever - which would obviously sell more software initially.

The fairest way to do it would be to calculate all the 360 software sales since launch in the same time frame as PS3 today.. sort of discounting the later software sales or something... as then you'd get the software sales in-sync with userbase increase. But no ones going to do that, cause it'd take too long and still be flawed.

Either way, I think the clear morale here is Microsoft are more capable then Sony at getting their big titles to sell more copies. I'm a Sony fan but there's no point denying that - Sony simply for whatever reason doesn't have the clout to launch and market a game like Microsoft... even when the product is of similiar quality and appeal.

This thread needs to be locked. I'm reporting it.

Your result is a product of your method. So anyone who has a problem with your method will have a problem with your result.

Seece said: Hehe, don't think the OP has had the desired effect, everyone seems to agree this looks better for Microsoft

did you not see my earlier post?

Funny how this shitstorm was caused by me and no one's blaming me haha!
