the ps2 is an excelllent console and won the 6th gen but it was only the 2nd best games console the original xbox was a better console with a hard drive, best online play, custom soundtrack and a slight graphical advantage over its
competition. in this gen the ps3 is the best console with best multimedia,blu ray
and huge graphical advantage over the competition

the wii is the worst console DOATS1 not a better console than 360 and ps3 and is beating the ps3 and 360 because its cheap and has a motion sense gameplay gimmick. it has no multimedia abilties and online play on it is a joke and dont get me started on the graphics 

 


well, obviously the majority of the gaming community don't care about multimedia, and online capabilities on their games console. at the end of the day, the wii is the market leader, even overtaking the former leader like a F1 ferrari overtaking a bus. it is giving what this genearation wants, and although all 3 consoles are, the wii is doing it better. hence it's the better games console.

the wii is in the lead, and was the last console to enter the race. it is the better console. i'm pro sony, but i'm not blind.


I guess that makes Titanic the best movie ever made.

 No it makes it the best chick flick ever made and guys would put up with it to see Leonardo Dicrappio drown at the end.



God hates console fanboys.

 Ok, this is also in response to all your other Wii posts:

The Wii has nothing to do with this thread at all. This is a thread comparing 360 sales to PS3 sales. Also (because you brought it up), just because Nintendo decided to keep things simple and not make the Wii into a multimedia device, or with amazing online play like the 360 and PS3 does not mean that it is a joke. 

OT: It's interesting to me to think about this. The PS3 was doing horribly up until the holiday season, when it finally started to get some really good exclusives. Then, through the holiday season, the PS3 did great, bosted later by the death of HD DVD, as well as other huge exclusives being announced or getting final relese dates.

The 360 seems to have sold fairly steadily, with a huge boost from Halo 3 and the holiday season.

It's really surprising considering how much the PS2 outsold the Xbox by. The fact that sales of the 360 and PS3 are so close and people think it's an amazing victory for Sony shows just how far expectations for the Playstation brand have fallen since the PS2.

There was a time when if you told someone that an Xbox brand console would keep up with a Playstation brand one for even a year people would have had good laughs over it. I guess those days are over.

 OMFG what FUD, what fanboy spin.

PS2 was out before XBox, so XBox was in the position PS3 is now in, and it never got CLOSE to PS2...what is it, like 5 to 1 or 6 to 1 now, PS2 vs XBox sales?  Whereas, PS3 is going to outsell 360 lifetime, easily.  

So, Sony can release later and outsell MS, where MS got stomped launching 2nd.

That PS2 was such a sucess was a huge score for Sony.  If PS3 is not as huge of a success, that's not a point for MS.  What matters is how much each company will make in profits from current gen machines.  Sony will make way more.  

MS has had, what, one profitable year so far in console gaming, NOT counting the billion dollar loss from RRoD?  LOL.

I'm sure Sony's happy to sell so many PS2s still...they make way more $ on those than on the PS3s.  But don't worry, PS3 prices will keep coming down and Sony will roll over Microsoft in profitability.  The Dreamcasting continues.

I'm not the one with the fanboy spin you are.  I stated a fact that the PS2 outsold the Xbox by a lot and you chose to spin it. 

I also stated that a lot of people (especially many Playstation fans) expected the PS3 to be another PS2 and crush the competition coming out the gate.  It didn't, and it doesn't matter about the games because in the end the expectations were there that it was going to quickly claim first spot.  It's funny how many excuses are now being made because the system didn't live up to expectations.

Nothing I hate more than people that remind you of this after they hear about the PS3 doing well. I understand that expectations were high after the PS2, but it's a new generation. Not many people expected the Wii to sell like space heaters in Antarctica, but that doesn't mean everytime we look at it's sales we should comment on the surprise. It's just an attempt to marganalize the accomplishments of the PS3.


Well the PS3 was supposed to be the 800 pound gorilla that was going to come out and smash everything. The fact that the 360 held its own and sold just as much as the PS3 isn't what I would call a success for the PS3, I would actually consider it a success for the 360.


 you do realize that the 360 has been out for a year longer right? and for the ps3 to match the 360 sales with virtually no games from sony's catalog is infact a big success. not to mention the 360's had its highest achievement wich was halo 3 in 2007.
