243,586 > 19, 756

This is why headstarts are nice. Take note Sony.

wow you are a smart one for sure!!!

199,135 ps3 > 1,240 Xbox 360

See what I did there???


Lifetime 360 sales > Lifetime PS3 sales.

But lets not get sidetracked. I know its hard to see 3ds giving the Vita such a beating :)


You know exactly what he means, you are doing an unfair comparison, vita is selling poor but that was an unfair comparison since its only one region. Accept it son.

I think its hard for some people to accept that just because your not out yet, doesnt mean your competition cant sell. 

The world doesnt revolve around Sony. If they chose to give away NA and Europe to Nintendo, then thats their choice. 

Who said the gaming industry was fair? 

 

I'm not talking about gaming industry I'm talking about your comment, you know it and I know it you posted a wrong comparison and then tried to change it about consoles releasing first to not look stupid. If you wanted to ridiculice vita just post the japanese numbers and everyone would agree.

I can say Pizza Hut completely destroys Domino's in my country but that would be stupid because Domino's is not distributed in my country yet.

Did you learn how to compare numbers all by yourself? Good for you.

But lets wait until the PSV is released in ALL territories before making troll statements like you have here.

Thats my point lol. 

In this business there IS NO waiting. You launch first and you reap the benefits. 

Look at those 3ds sales in NA and Europe compared to the "0" sales of the Vita. 

You first patronizing sentence doesn't do a good job of masking the shame. 

Like 360 vs. Wii? Oh wait...

Like 360 vs PS3, you know, its direct competition where as Wii is indirect. But im sure you knew I was gonna say that. 

Of course I knew that. However, that argument is flawed since PS3 quickly caught up with 360 in both Europe and Japan.

It is not because it allowed MS to get a foothold on NA and the 3rd party industry, thus still maintaining a global lead, compared to the utter massacre PS2 gave Gamecube and Xbox. 

Ill stop it here, topic sidetracked too much. 



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Early lead is important but is not everything, Wii destroyed the 360.

Still counts for something even when comparing 360 to Wii, if they launched on the same date who knows whether X360 would be able to overtake the Wii in the US and UK.

you are being a bit unfair... his point on being first to launch is valid to a point. 

especially in a two horse race and where you lost the last two horse race by some distance....

 

Wait how am I being unfair and not him? He began this stupid argument with 3DS WW>Vita Japan

That's his whole point, I don't see how you can't see that. He's already clarified anyway.

I think its alot of things, multiple sequels on fighting games tend to have the latter underperform the former.  Soul calibur 4 was not that good to begin with, they keep tweeking with move sets and characters, balance, these changes throws people who play the game competatively and makes the learning curve for new (and noobie/casual) players harder because the characters they did play changed so much.  Once the videos of the french game players came out over the summer, I and alot of the SC community knew that this was not going to be a quality game and the sales show it.

 

Its going to be showcased at evo2k12 but i dont think the following is going to be big at all.
