You know what else is basic math? Take the software sales of each console and divide by days that console has been out, and guess what? The PS3 has sold more per day than the 360. (This also works for weeks, months, years, any unit of time you can think of).

And this doesn't even factor in the several regions that launch much later than the nearly 1 year difference 2 of the main 3 did.

But he doesn't seem to want to think logically at all.

I guess we will all just have to live with the fact the Nintendo virtual boy is better than the Xbox one and ps4 because it has sold more games *sighs while rolling eyes*

The haters on this site are too funny. "I used to be a 360 fan and now I am a PS3 fan" tells the whole story. By saying this, you admit that you are not a fan at all. You like gaming and you play the system that has the most games that match your needs. When you started playing the PS3 to catch up on the PS3 exclusives from its first couple of years, it made sense to buy the multi plats on it too. Were the multi plats better on the PS3? Most people would admit that they were NOT. Gaming is more about habits than anything.

I bought the PS3 at launch and used it primarily as a bluray player for its first 2-3 years. Then a number of games that interested me came along and it got plenty of use. But my 360 always had a number of titles that reeled me back in. I always bought multiplats on the 360 because I liked the controller better.

One other thing that seems to have been left off this thread out of convenience for the Sony fans. Every thread about how many total system sales always blasts M$ for all of the RROD 360s. If the number was as big as many believe(10 Million), it only makes the software ratios for the PS3 that much worse. Again proving that the reason you buy the system is for games, yet the PS fans don't do what they claim is the problem with the XB1. Every thread about any additional feature on the XB1 that isn't game related the Sony fans go nuts about how the system isn't for games. Yet when you look at what people who buy xboxes do, they play the shit out of GAMES.

Yeah, I never really get why people will deny things even when clearly presented with the facts. If he wants to discuss something positive regarding 360 software sales he can just talk about the tie ratios like landguy mentioned. But sticking with something like this is strange (and if he made a mistake it's no big deal, he should just say and move on).

I had it right... November 2005 - November 2014 = 9 years.

Reliability is an entirely diferent issue although I agree that both the 360 and PS3 dropped the ball there.

Yeah my bad, was thinking ps3 launch date and got mixed up.

Wow, 9 years till a new system, kinda makes you feel old if you were there from launch. Certainly doesn't feel like 9 years

The reality is gamers would rather a PS3 than a 360, is that too hard for you to understand ? 

BTW nintendo's support was pretty much ass past 2010 with the wii and those sales prove it. 

The reason why sony doesn't have a higher software ratio is either because they screwed up and or can do with less software like the wii did. 

This was the best console generation for gamers ever. Whichever console you owned, there was so much to enjoy. Long lifespans of consoles. Visually stunning games. The return of 2D gaming. Multiplayer. Indie games.

It was amazing. I really doubt next gen will be as exciting.

lolwut? The original XBox was let go because MS made a bad deal and was losing $200+ on each console towards the end of It's life span. You know how they said Jesus died for your sins? Well Bill Gates bled money to give the world the original XBox. Microsoft spent quite a bit just to barely beat Gamecube in sales, you owe Microsoft thanks.

The 360 was on the market for 8 years  before the X1 will be released. I am so tired of people saying MS threw in the towel. Give me a god damn break.

Also, I abosoutely love how this is not posted in the Microsoft forum.  Hmm.

Here's something pretty big about sony supporting the PS3, it's getting GT6!

That in itself is pretty generous of sony considering they could have pushed it to the PS4 but instead they decided that it was a smarter idea to give it to the PS3.
