Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

hmm.. yep I was right all along this site is 90% xbots and ninis... nice.. I hope the PS3 starts kicking all the other consoles rears soon then I can laugh as all you guys crying. =D

does it suprise you that Sony fans aren't discussing sales figures like they used to when their console is not doing well?


 Not doing well? It did outsell X360 last month, Japan & USA combined. And that's pretty good, considering that there's not really a whole lot of decent games available yet.


Uh unless it did about 80K plus last month in Japan I'm pretty sure it didn't. 69k is the difference between the US NPD numbers last month for the two. Add in the 360 did about 3k a week last month give or take and that is about 80k. So unless PS3 did 80k last month in Japan I don't think so. It certainly didn't average 20k a week.

 

Well with "last month " he is refering ,I think ,to the last month with available data .That is ,march .And in march the PS3 sold one week 45K due to Gundam Mussou and 33K the next week ,with the other two weeks about 25K and 22K ...so it sold some 125K consoles and combining Japan and NA it outsold the X360 by about 40-45K consoles .And that without having in count Europe and Australia thats it .Well ,the X360 domination (or whatever is happening ) will endure until the PS3 starts to sell steadily in Japan ,and thats when tha games start to flow.And when the European numbers are released of course .

When nintendo reach the 100m mark then fair enough its only got 97.5 m to go , the ps3 isnt really in competition just yet . I got a wii to tide me over until the ps3 arrived , i know many people who wont buy the ps3 at the silly price point its at enough said its ludicrous .

IMHO, I think these sales are proving 1 major point: Price is winning the day overall. Every cheap(er) system has beat the more expensive ones. The 360 needs a price drop, it'd make it viable vs. the Wii. The PS3 needs.....Intelligent life pricing the console.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
