Looks like MS fans are already preparing their "It doesn't matter" speeches.

Ive been saying this since 2010. We all know its gonna happen at some point. 

But for the former #1 brand in gaming to crawl to 2nd place after 7+ years and in all likelihood after the next xbox is released, not to mention the marketshare gains Xbox has made at the expense of Sonys.......to celebrate victory is to celebrate lowering the bar for your faction.

So by all means, celebrate


PS3 has outsold Xbox360 every full year on the market except for 2008. In direct competition, the 360 has lost. Nothing you say can change this fact.

Xbox passing Wii in U.K. and the U.S. is much bigger deal than PS3 passing Xbox.
but we won't see 100 threads about it.

 

truer words

 

Amusing that Wii owners aren't upset by this or saying "the generation is over blah blah" and yet plenty of MS fans have used this very excuse in this thread. Hypocrisy at its finest.

 

Wii is #1 globally and by a healthy margin. There is no need for them to speak up. Nice try.

You don't seem to understand. You are saying that PS3 passing 360 is irrelevant, but 360 passing Wii is. 

This is hypocrisy.

 360 passing Wii in NA and UK is more like "Huh, look at that". Its not like were claiming outright victory. We know Wii is still #1 and 360 wont be able to take it globally.

Your just confused as to the emphasis some 360 fans put on it passing Wii in certain areas. Its a "thats nice" bullet point, nothing more.

So 360 passing Wii in certain regions is relevant, but PS3 passing 360 in total sales isn't? You are making your argument even more silly.

No u didnt get my point at all. Its not relevant, its just "oh look at that" or "oh, thats nice".

I think this is also because this just wasn't expected - who would've thought that the RROD-HDDVD-exclusive-lacking, paid-online console manages to keep passing *any* of its rivals? Sony however dominated the market for two long generations so everybody expected them to be leader this gen which won't happen. To me both started with totally different positions and expectations.

If it weren't relevant, why would you have an opinion on it like "oh, that's nice"? Obviously it is worth something, by your own admission.

So I ask again, why is that applauded but PS3 passing 360 seen as a meaningless accomplishment?

"Software and hardware. Two different things."

 

Yeah but not in a way that makes your comparison any less funny. Software sells taper off very quickly. Hardware does not. So when you say they're different, it makes your sig even less relevant. Hope that helps.

You can have an opinion on something. Doesnt make it relevant in the grand scheme.....

Again, its nice to see, but it is not relevant at all in the big picture of 360 taking Wii globally. Just not gonna happen. So really, NA and UK gains are irrelevant, but still nice to see. Two different things, hope you understand that.

It is not "applauded", it is "acknowledged". PS3 taking 2nd eventually isnt "meaningless", just "irrelevant" in the grand scheme with next gen consoles allready out.

So, just so I understand. 360 passing Wii in certain regions isn't at all relevant to the grand scheme?

Again, its nice to see, but it is not relevant at all in the big picture of 360 taking Wii globally.

So you admit that 360 taking Wii globally is relevant to the grand scheme. By that same logic, PS3 passing 360 globally is relevant to the grand scheme as well.

Hope you understand how fallacious your argument is (by your own logic).
