Then there is no point in talking to both of you. Ps3 made a comeback and its simple as that. People just don't want to give credit where credit is due.

Peace

So basically, just because we don't agree with you it's not worth talking with us?

I think you're crediting Sony with too MUCH credit actually, and that's one point of this thread...

PS3 on its own, for a clearer view:

I can see a very clear difference before and after late 2009. The first three years are a joke compared to the last four. I think there is no doubt it turned things around.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

I've seen a lot of people praising Sony on how they turned the PS3 around from a disastrous launch to nearly/soon overtaking the second most sold console this generation. But is this actually true? From what I can find from the sales data, no it isn't.

PS3 never made a comeback!

Take a look at this picture:

It's from right here: http://www.vgchartz.com/tools/hw_date.php

Looking at it it becomes very clear that PS3 never did horrible, and always sold on par with the Xbox360, and often even a bit more. The only times X360 sold better were during the Holidays. So where precisely IS this comeback? I don't see it. It's not there. PS3 has outsold the X360 pretty consistently ever since its 2nd year, only being outsold during the Holidays.

Sony never did anything to say that the PS3 made a comeback, because it never really went away. It never did so bad that it had to make a comeback.

This isn't flamebaiting, or trolling or whatever you wanna call it. I know some of you won't agree with me about this, but I just don't see where, or how, the PS3 made a comeback. As a PS fan maybe you wanna tell me what you mean when you're talking about the PS3 comeback?

EDIT:

And here's a comparison with all 3 consoles for those who wants it.


Dude...The PS3 launched a year after the 360 and now has one million consoles less after a 10 million console lead. If you average it out by years, the PS3 has sold more in a shorter amount of time.

Yeeees, and your point is? I said that in the OP more or less; PS3 always sold on par or better than the X360, which means that it never did too shabby to begin with, and therefore never had a comeback - since it actually never did poorly (relatively speaking of course)

"never did too shabby" doesn't mean it cant achieve a comeback. However, It did do too shabby. It did horrendous first year actually.

I guess the same thing can be said about the X360 then, since it started to sell more after 2010 (I think it was). Why isn't anyone talking about the comeback X360 did?

Go for it, but it won't end well for obvious reasons (hint hint: the ps3 passing it). It isnt as dramatic. Therefore it isn't as noteworthy

And I don't see a noteble rise in the PS3 sales; I see a steadily increase of sales over a long period of time; they haven't gone from bad to good, they've gone from good to better.

I wasn't aware Wii U sales were considered good. Ps3 was "luck to sell 6mil before 2008" and lucky to "sell 18mil by 2009"

Wii U's sales were really good to begin with, but they aren't any longer. And I don't know whom or what you are quoting...
