I said nothing about spinoffs. Now you're just being silly and shouldn't be taken seriously.

We all know this generation began when Sony said so. So to the victor (PS3) go the spoils indeed.


Does not compute...what does this post mean?

Just what it says. The generation began in November 2006, and from then on Sony has sold around 3m more PS3s than MS has sold 360s.


That is utter bullshit. The generation started when the first console of the gen was released. And since then, the X360 has sold 2m more than the PS3. Deal with it.

Good job bro. Microsoft beat out the competition...when the competition wasn't even in the market. Average yearly sales the PS3 trumps the 360. Have a nice fucking day.

But When PS2 released a year before Xbox and Gamecube it was fair game?

Please. Nobody said this industry is fair. You launch late you pay the price. Nov 05 - Nov 06 PS3 sold a fat 0.

Furthermore, as a representative of the last place console, your right to say you count aligned launch sales has been revoked. As a representative of a console that is beating yours, I decree that lifetime sales, as is shown by vgchartz itself, is the standard.

FYI - PS3 was supposed to release Spring 06 but got delayed, Europe even more so. Sonys horrible mistakes shouldnt buy them sympathy in lifetime sales.

LOL if you think the original Xbox or gamecube would ever catch up to PS2. Don't compare a 2m gap between current gen consoles to a 100m+ gap to last gen consoles.


If the original Xbox was released first it would've sold more than the PS2.

Are you out of your mind? The PS1 built a fanbase which is the reason the PS2 was so successful. If you truly believe that if the Xbox had released before PS2 it would have outsold the PS2 then damn...You truly are blinded by the clear Microsoft fanboyism. Oh my god.


If the original Xbox was released first then all of the devs would've jumped ship from the PS to make games for the Xbox and Sony would've cancelled the PS2.

You dont know that......stay away from hypothetical arguments. They are baseless and it becomes a free-for-all.



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

LOLOLOLOLOL. PS1 sells 100m+ and so because Sony would not have been first to the market they would have completely cancelled the PS2 even with the huge success of the PS1. According to your logic, the PS3 should have been cancelled. But wait... you don't have any logic.

Ok then, bye. I'm curious though, if you weren't talking about spin-offs then what were you talking about?



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Ok then, that is your opinion. The move from PS2-PS3 is much different than the move from PS-PS2. I can't really be bothered elaborating tbh, but trust me, if the Xbox had been released first then Sony would have cancelled the PS2.

Alright I trust you. LOL

Come on, let's stop arguing about the last generation. It's almost a 100 million gap, it's not worth discussing it.



Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.

If by 'bigger', you mean 'more diluted' then I agree.  Just because its had more releases doesn't mean it's bigger. That's like saying Rihanna is bigger than the Beatles because she's released more albums. The main series is what counts, and GOW has sold more than GODOWA. Therefore, it has rights to the acronym. Simples!

Or it's like saying 360 is bigger than PS3 when it has just been out for longer. Do you not see this? 360 has more years, GoW has more games. 360 is ahead, GoW is ahead. There is really no counter-argument.

Edit: Oh, and Rihanna has sold A LOT less albums than the beatles combined. So that comparison is ridiculous


None of this post makes sense.

@your edit: I didn't say rihanna has sold more albums than the Beatles...

It's okay if you don't understand, just don't make so many contradictions again.

I know, but that's where your argument falls apart.


I don't understand what you're talking about in this post either. Didn't you say you were done a few pages back?

Who cares? Total sales are what matters. X360 has sold 1.7m more than the PS3. Have a nice day.

Exhibit A. If total sales matter, why the fuck don't you compare total sales of GoW to Gears?


I am comparing total sales of GOW and GODOWA. GOW is higher.

Therefore, gears of war has rights to the acronym as it's a more popular series. Higher sales = rights to the acronym.
