All the easier for Sony to sneak up on them. Seriously MS just cater to the kinect crowd and make your $ while Sony makes it from the hardcores and I won't mind you. Just don't trick people with marketing into thinking you have super superior online just cause they pay for it or that your 1 exclusive a year is better than Sony's 3 awesome ones in the same year and end up costing Sony the $ they need to be incentivized to keep delivering these rich, immersive, SP focused experiences.

I wouldn't exactly say that being ahead by 1 Million consoles and seeing that number drop each and every week is much of a domination.

So, in order to dominate a gen you have to finish last? Good to know.

Is domination defined by trailing sales all gen, losing billions of dollars and half marketshare?

It's funny because 2 out of those 3 also apply to MS.

When I went to school 2 *3 = 6 < 7

Not to mention the 2 that were fixed within warranty.
So yes I have gone through 3, well the third one is still working


Like I said the next box could make my cup of tea in the morning and give me a blow job but I still would not purchase one

So.. you didn't actually go out and buy 2 new consoles? Then how would you count for 3 consoles? MS does not count replacement consoles as a sold console.

As for the PS3 catching the 360 you do have to remember that the PS3 is in more markets not to mention Japan alone which accounts for the majority of that catch up.

It's surprising how poorly the 360 has done in Japan, despite MS' initial strong investment trying to crack that market. It's also surprising how well the 360 has held up in sales despite being virtually non-existent in the Japanese market.


Yep I am shocked the 360 has done so great after such a bad first gen and a virtually non-existent Japanese userbase. Though the way Japan is going, that'll soon be the case for all home consoles.

No I have had to buy 3 consoles and also had 2 repaired, no idea if the repaired ones were replacements or not. If they were that would be a total of 5. Who knows if they count replacements as shipped or not my guess would be yes.

Not going to argue anymore if you were an early adopter you would understand how M$ fucked us up the ass

If they count repaired consoles as shipped then software sales would show it. I guess that would mean PS3 gamers buy even less games that people usually joke about.

I said replaced not repaired, my guess is you were not an early adaptor and thus have nothing to say on the subject...

lol 1 thing i dont agree with is 360 dominating last gen, Did you forget the sales of the Wii, or how ps3 is barely behind. yeah Wii if any console was the dominant one, and dont say its because of the casuals like everyone else becuase we all know the MS fanbase is full of casuals, weather it be kinect or you CoD gamers


Am I a casual gamer as I pretty much only play COD these days? I've probably played 10+ hours a day of COD for 2-3 years now. But I'm still just a casual gamer according to you though yeah? Alright!! I'm gonna inform my girlfriend of the great news!

I bought a launch console and I went into wal-mart when mine got RROD. The warranty of MS was so good they told me to go get a new one in store. I keeped my Hard drive. I'm thinking you don't even own a xbox or your really not smart about letting your xbox breath. I went through that one console. You must be putting yours in a inclosed place or in the oven. Their is no way you bought 2 more and repaired 2. Your full of it. You don't own a 360, you own a ps3
