Looking back in 2006 / 2007 this seems like a miracle.


I never doubted... when I saw a interview from a MS exec (I think it was 2010 a little before PS3 started recovering) saying that even if MS stoped their production Sony would take at least 5 years to catch up... I still laugh to this day.


You are a loyal believer. But back in 2006 / 2007 I had my doubts. At that time all awesome JRPG's were coming to xbox 360. Gears of war and mass effect were rockig xbox 360. Now the scenerio is completely different. It started to change after they introduced ps3 slim and lots of cool games.

At that time I was still in college with no money, playing my ps2 with botlegged games and drowing looking at traillers of ps3 (had bought my ps2 in 2005)... I discovered PS3 was really low on sales after buying mine... I like to think I was the purchaser that they needed to turn over.


Same here. My gaming life literally stopped back in 2007 - 2009 because university tutions were so high. At that time I was playing old games in my pc.

Anyway I just checked the xbox website and currently there are 605 full retail games available digital not sure what the exact number is on the PS3 but I'm pretty sure it is less then half of that.

I don't know how many Sony have... but if we count Bundle as SW sale we should count PSN+ offering as well... so Sony would destroy everybody on total sales =]

Bundled games are counted in sofware sales.  PSN+ games shouldn't count since they are given away and not sold directly.  Also when it comes to digital sales the 360 is way ahead of the PS3 since it has a lot more contend not only when it comes to games but also movies, tv shows, music and music videos.

I don't know about the variety and quality but PS3 also have it... I like to have a physical thing to touch when I buy something... so paying for digital just the subs and some cheap game.

A lot more to contend with?? LMAO, PSn doesnt have movies TV shows? Do you live in a twilight zone? I'd say sony's first party alone gives ps3 a much betetr varied library.

I have both and the 360 has a lot more digital content then the PS3 as well they should have since they already started with some digital content on the original XBox.

Again I highly doubt that you actually own a 360 or you would know the 360 has a lot more digital contend then the PS3.

Understood... keep in mind that a lot of the content isn't released on Brazil, so I wouldn't see it usually.
