Xbox 360 has always been the most popular system. People are buying PS3 as a second system only now because everybody already has Xbox 360.


Im not saying i disagree, but theres no information to prove this. PS3 has more lifetime sale.p

 

 

PS3 also has free online but Xbox Live has  more users. How can a lesser selling system with paid online have more users then a better selling system with free online? Only those who seek the truth will find it.


I'm pretty sure thats not the case.

Post sources to what? You post some sources. LOL

 

The Nintendo Wii was not the most popular system even when it was being supported which is not long ago. Popularity it what everybody is talking about and even though the Nintendo Wii was selling like crazy nobody was saying anything about it. Any time you mention games people talk about Xbox 360.

At the time the wii was getting supported I can assure you it was the most popular homeconsole. At least here.
Maybe your close environement only talked about the 360, but the world is much bigger.

And yes, higher the sales the more popular something is.

I can't tell if this guy is serious. Either way, his comments are hilarious for all the wrong reasons.

It's been a long time since I've been left speechless like that.  Lucky that some of our more aggressive Nintendo fans didn't see that Wii comment.  It would have been pandemonium.

The Wii isn't the most popular now but it certainly was while it was still supported.  Higher sales is the very epitome of popularity.

Post some sources, please.

No, it doesn't.  The PS3 passed the 360 in terms of active installed base quite awhile ago, well before they passed them in total sales.  This is also supported by the fact that the PS3 is the more popular device for Netflix.

"The active install base of PS3s reached 43.4 million at the close of 2010 versus Xbox 360's 42.9."  --  http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/33854/Analysts_PS3_Passes_Xbox_360_Worldwide_Nintendo_Successor_Within_A_Year.php

Also, relative to your earlier comment, the PS3's sales rate is much higher than that of the 360, which indicates that it was been the more popular machine through most of its life.  That is fact.


Nintendo Wii is the best selling system but its not the most popular. Sales dont mean popularity. People do watch more Netflix on PS3 but Xbox Live is where people game.

I ... did.  See, the link, that's ... uh.

So, the Wii wasn't actually popular, it just went viral and everyone was buying it but ... um.  Okay.

I see.  So we're judging this by ... people you know talking about the 360?

Excuse me.  I have to go wash the cat.

 

You posted a link to the install base of the PS3? What does that have to do with anything I am talking about? I was talking about the popularity of the Nintendo Wii. To who ever it may concern my corner of the world is the best and  largest gaming country in the world which is the USA.

Clearly this is proof from the other thread that time travel exist. Something yet to happen will cause the 360 to sell a whole bunch more this year.

It's the only logical explanation

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.
