When the take away all of the third parties you had exclusively and beat you to the market making them multiplat?

They kind of deserve it after all the games they've given. They just cannot compete with Kinect. That is the problem. Luckily for them Kinect has no hot IP right now. We'll see after E3 though.

360 price cut.

Anyway, even if the PS3 wins by the end of the gen, I'm still proud of ya Xbox!  You were like Rocky Balboa in the first Rocky movie.  Nobody expected you to put up a fight buy you went the distance with the heavyweight champ.  You ate lightning and crapped thunder!

*kisses Xbox*

It would be nice to see Sony reap the benefits of giving gamers as much as they have. This is a great post.

The ironic thing about that, when you really want to get down to it, it that some of these same exact people can be found in the NPD thread attacking The Source and stating how he "Has some kind of aversion to the 360" and goes on about things such as "How many consoles have done this?" or "How many consoles have done that at this point in their life?", etc...

Now, in this thread, you have this same person going on about "This doesn't matter because so and so said this 5-6 years ago" or "Who cares, the gen is almost over" or "Well, it doesn't matter to me so who cares? *puffs out chest*".

I ask this person to give the same treatment they were asking for just a day or two ago. How many consoles have launched at $500-$600, lost almost all support and then came back to possibly finish with over 70-80M in sales? How many consoles have had books written of their failure only to become the top seller weekly within that same generation?". How many stories can you find of where one falls so far only to pick themselves back up and place themselves where the PS3 is today?

Sometimes the stories of ones who fall and rise back up are more impressive than stories of those who rise to the top and stay there. Look at Nintendo for example, they fell hard and it took them a couple of generations, but they came roaring back early this generation and went on to sell what will be over 100M consoles.

Sony can do almost the same within the same gen they fell.

So instead of arguing about whether it matter to you or not, which if it doesn't it makes one wonder what you're doing in here anyways, try to give some credit where credit is due, not to mention take the time to realize that PS3 and 360 successors are almost 1 1/2 years away at least, so these sales are very much still relevant.

As a parting gift to those who think sales for these consoles do not matter when the next gen rolls around... how much did PS2 sell in the first year of the 360 and the second year? How did PS2 sell in PS3's first year? Things don't just end because someone else released a console.

This site sure is strange sometimes and sometimes the users here just boggle the mind.

I don't think the PS3 has any real chance of passing the 360 in 2012 simply because I think the 360 will outsell the PS3 by such a large amount in the last 2 months of the year that it will wipe out the gains the PS3 made the rest of the year. In fact I'm pretty sure I said the exact same thing last year and may have even said it the year before that as well.

so eh according to some post in this and last few pages
you guys will never crash some thread in MS discussion anymore right?right?because i heard every PS fans is good guy in few hours ago

One thing I don't get:
I thought the 360 has outsold the PS3 like.... every year. So why the hell is the gap getting less? INFORM ME I DONT KNOW JACK ABOUT SALES :(

I thought it was pretty common knowledge that, "If you align launches", the PS3 has been outselling the 360 almost every year.  The 360 has just done a good job of maintaining some momentum and minimizing PS3's gains.

Sooo the PS3 is selling more each year?
Didnt MS say last year that they sold more or something and there was a massive melt down of fanboys all over the place (both 360 and PS3 wise because of some confusion going on.. Im not even sure what happend at the end xD).

I get that the PS3 has been on the market like.. a year less than the 360 so in that regard, it's sold better. But people dont give a fk about that, they care about those numbers. If they aint higher, shit dont' matter!
