Forums - Microsoft - People have been more satisfied with the Xbox 360 than the PS3 so are less inclined to upgrade - one of Yusuf Mehdi's opinions on sales gap

The 360 has been a dry well for ~3 years while the PS3 keeps pumping out plenty of games. That's all i have to say to this "mister".

Sure I guess you never heard of XBLA games.


You mean those things we used to get every week that now, if we are lucky, come out every few weeks and also exist on PS3?

100% agree. Playing Titanfall every chance I get and enjoying my free games for gold (downloading Saints Row 3 in a couple days which I never played).

2015 when Halo 5 comes out might be a great time to upgrade.


wow, that's is reeeaaaaallly late.  http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/06/17/playstation-plus-saints-row-the-third-free-for-members/

i guess ps3 fans are upgrading so quickly because we've already played last gen games and 360 fans are just stepping into 2013.  ;)

The last time Final Fantasy did amazing in sales was on the PS1 and Dark Souls and Kingdom Hearts really never did amazing in sales when you compare them to sales of games in other genres.

The 360 has a much bigger library of online games then the PS3 both full retail and arcade and indie titles not to mention it also has tons more other content music, movies, tv shows and the likes.

Now you're just spouting nonsense. The FF XIII trilogy sold 8 million on the PS3 alone. Final Fantasy X sold 6.6 million (and that was only of 2004). Final Fantasy XII sold 6 million. Bravely Default sold around 1 million. Dark Souls sold around 3 million. And guess what? At least half, if not more, of those sales were in the west.

JRPGs are not niche. Not even close.

Xbox One - PS4 - Wii U - PC

Yusuf Mehdi scores one for the logic. But, Yusuf, if X360 users are so happy, why even bother making XOne? You could have just put all those great XOne games out on X360 and make them even happier.

As the side note, iPhone users must be the most miserable bunch of us all. They must simply flat out hate their phones since they keel on upgrading every year. I wonder how that silly Apple is still in business, producing such poor crappy product that people loathe so much.

Thank you, Yusuf, this was the funniest PR statement of this year. I thought humor went away with Mattrick and his submarine gamers.

XBLA and PSN titles not included on either side... Most of the good XBLA games aren't even exclusive anyway.

And what does 360 have?

More X1/PC ports?


I think we are learning today that "no games" > games. 

Microsoft is always looking into educating the retarded masses like us. /rolleyes

Banning Nem for this may be a little harsh?

This is not something he just came up with as there are a lot of people avoiding Microsoft because of their "We will tell you what is best for you"-attitude.

I haven't touched a product from Microsoft since my Xbox 360 and Windows 7 laptop 2 years ago because of their arrogance and dishonesty.

 

A recent example:
