well this thread really riled up the xbox fanbase didn't it?
now i'm not one to care much about gaps or sales or whatever but the meltdowns in this thread are amusing though


the only hyper post frenzies I can see are from the usual PS suspects actually.  everyone else is just chuckling at this celebraton of being 2m behind.

This thread isnt a prediction thread its a HOO-RAA thread...


"the only hyper post frenzies are from the usual PS suspects actually"

i wouldn't expect you to say anything else... how many post have you made so far?

from what i'm seeing you're one of the most prolific posters in this thread

But quite honestly..

The gap is like 2 mil or whatever...

Why care really? I mean.. It's barely like selling 2 millions will change anything for us. We wont barely notice any change in online play for instance... I mean both consoles have practically similar sales aside from ..2-5 mil here and there. But its so little in comparison to how much they've sold... I don't see what would happen if the PS3 closed the gap and even passed the 360 with 1 Mil. Is it just for us fans to like.. gloat? Does anything really happen? We've already established that Sony/MS can claim they sold most based on shipments so...

 

EDIT: I obsess with reviews/awards because I want the devs that I'm fan for to you know... get acclaimed and get attention even though I know reviews are reaally subjective. But why is sales such a factor when its so similar? Will Sony like.. get something out of outselling the 360? Am I missing something here?



Really people?

Lol, best one so far. Why do NPD sales matter so much to some people but not WW sales?


Because NPD numbers are actually real.

The last real worldwide numbers we have are through Dec. 31, 2011. A 3.8 million gap with the 360 at 65.8M and the PS3 at 62M. Now according to this site, in the last 3 months, the PS3 has sold 1.5M and the 360 has sold -300,000. How do you sell negative numbers? Don't ask me. And people wonder why this site is the laughing stock of the internet gaming world? Well, time to log off of here and head back to reality!

Lol, no just no. NPD's numbers are just estimates like Vgchartz numbers are estimates & the numbers that you are talking about are SHIPPED numbers NOT SOLD numbers which is what this site tracks. Microsoft overshipped in the Oct-Dec quarter and now they are paying the price for that.



I can't understand why VGchartz would undertrack PS3 and overtrack 360 by so much. The original numbers have aways seen right to me. It's hard to belive that PS3 sold that much with no strong strong game releases nor promotions.

What are original numbers to you? The gap was 2,8mil, now 2 mil.

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.


PSP launch price - $250
Vita launch price - $250. On par with 3DS before the the panic price cut.

Sony isn't being arrogant. At least not this gen. They know they don't have the portable game market so what is there to be arrogant about?
