I laughed, people are more interested in a 360 over PS3 lol. Not only did 360 sales drop faster then PS3 when the new console released MS has barely supported the system since 2010... In they still couldn't push more games then Sony for this gen even without supporting the 360 or a handhold..

Another reason why the Xbox One has fallen behind the PS4 in terms of sales so far is because, according to Mehdi, Xbox 360 owners enjoy their systems more than PlayStation 3 owners do, so they are less inclined to upgrade.

"People have been more satisfied with the Xbox 360 than the PS3, so in that respect people have less of a need to upgrade in the short-term due to regular updates for the Xbox 360," Mehdi said. "We could point to any number of things."

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.

who cares about free games if u can get those games dirt cheap... u could buy saints row 3 yesterday for 1$...

ok no. Would go for at least $10 used. Free is always better. And convienent too.

Or we have less people without internet than we imagine:

Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.

Well, if people hate their PS3s so much, why did their campaign for trading in PS3s for credit towards Xbox Ones fail magnificently?

Well PS3 doesn't have any buzz worthy games like Titanfall releasing this year. There really is less incentive to keep playing it then X1.

What?

If people had less incentive to play, why didn't they just trade their PS3s in like Microsoft wanted to?

Also, the PS3 easily has the 360 beat in terms of exclusive games. The amound of JRPGs being released now is amazing, and Persona 5 is coming out next year.

Your argument is invalid.

I wouldn't put much stock in a program that didn't last too long. Just saying in 2014, not any years prior, 2014, 360 has Titanfall and PS3 has what....some super niche Japanese titles?
