The PS2 is still selling, generations don't simply just end by releasing the next console.

I don't trust those VGC PS3 adjustments unless there are backed by solid shipment numbers. And the gap doesn't really matter anymore, because a new console generation is coming!


Spoken like a true Xbox fanboy. You say it doesn't matter because it will only keep decreasing until the PS3 is the one in the lead.
Sales between PS3 and 360 really do matter. If you don't care about sales when they are almost neck and neck, then what do you care about? When 1 console is completely dominating then its BORING. The PS3 was called "DOA" by many and to see it outsell the 360, no matter when it happens, will be an impressive feat.

I will be keeping an eye on both current-gen and next-gen sales.
I have a feeling that the PS4 will have a huge advantage if it launches in the same year as the 720.

To be fair, more people claim dominance out of the gate for the PS3 than they said it would be DOA. But anyway whomever wins, good for them or more so their loyalists.

the 360 better not let the PS3 overtake it in sales ESPECIALLY when you look at how hard Sony crashed this gen coming off of last

360 had all these advantages this gen while ps3 had all the disadvantages. RROD is like the only real disadvantage 360 had this gen but i dont know how significant that is because the PS2 was plagued with the disc read error(i know everybody remembers that) and it didn't hurt the PS2. it wasn't as bad as RROD but it still was a problem. If anything, it boosted sales a bit because people just went out and bought newer consoles

PlayStation brand has been crippled this gen while the xbox brand has expanded largely. 360 had all this stuff going for it and is still about to get outsold by the "failure" PS3


that awkward moment when you realise that the 360 is only still relevant today because of the Kinect and its effects in the holiday season despite all its advantages

PS3 would've outsold 360 WW back in 2010 if it wasn't for Kinect saving its ass

the 360 is being fueled by the massive Kinect effect and is still about to get passed by the PS3

it seems a lot of people are taking this thread to heart lol

but whatever..

Halo 4 comes out and suddenly the numbers matter to Xbox gamers. The Last of Us and/or God of War 4 gets less sales than Halo 4 and Xbox gamers laugh at pitiful Playstation exclusives. PS3 gamers say numbers don't matter and that their game(s) is/are better than Halo. PS3 sales turn out good and Sony gamers brag about better WW numbers than Xbox. Xbox gamers say Sony already lost and that numbers don't matter anymore.

You guys are just saying what is convenient every. single. time.

Sony is very arrogant! I remeber them saying something to the effect of, we'll build PS3, when it come it comes, and at whatever price, and consumers will still buy it! That same arrogance is also killing the Vita. With that arrogance they will always be last.

PS1 and PS2 beg to differ. They were arrogant then, even more so than with PS3.


I disagree. For with PS1 it was Nintendo's arrogance that let Sony in the door, and Nintendo's arrogance continued during the days of the PS2. Sony then became king of the hill and let their success get to their head, now they are paying for their arrogance I think. I think arrogance comes with being at the top of the games industry.

what exactly do you mean by this? the only thing i remember about Nintendo back in the 5th gen was them using cartridges

and even if they went with CDS,ps1 would have still dominated it because 64 was still looked at as a kids console

 

and Nintendo's arrogance continued during the days of the PS2

please elaborate on what you mean by Nintendo's arrogance in the 6th generation..

I think what it meant was that Ps1 came from a failed deal reached by Nintendo and Sony for the SNES. 

 

This failed deal caused sony to make their console the Ps1 which gave birth to the great Playstation. 

 

(Atleast is used to be great)

 



Yay!!!

RROD?  Subscription for LIVE

the 360 is more expensive than the PS3 if you want to play online... always has been.


yea but the 360 has sold like 12 million more than ps3 in North America

Ps3 has sold like 5-6 million more than 360 in Japan

^^ like i said before, the 360 advantage in North America outweighs the PS3's advantage in Japan
