Whats the point of your post? To remind everyone that Sony is beating the 360 while being an inferior console?

You even admit that it had a higher price and inferior software for last holiday season...I sure hope you are on Sony's payroll otherwise you just look silly.

What are you referring to as the inferior console? Either way thats subjective anyhow. Your right I did admit it had a higher pricepoint and inferior software. But guess what? It managed to beat the 360 WW during the holidays. I dont understand your anamosity towrds me or this thread. Its in the sony discussion, if you want to be a 360 troll go to the 360 board where you can discuss how MS blew it with gta4 or how ms needs to stop copying final fantasy.


I have no animosity towards you... just your choice to brag about a console outselling another console while being more expensive and having less quaility software. I'd understand if Sony was paying you to do so...but otherwise it is just retarded from a consumer point of view. Logically you should be complaining about it...not praising it.

And last time I checked this is a free site...I can discuss what I want, when I want to.

This threads purpose is not to brag but in case you havent noticed the 360 and ps3 have been in a battle for second place and uh since this is a sales discussion website we're allowed to talk about consoles outselling each other. I feel like my 1st post seems pretty positive for "doomed console."

Your right this is a free site and you may post where you wish, but I know mods other posters dont appreiciate when people comment on a topic just to troll or be "that negative dude."

hmm... meh, what the heck, sure. It's gonna be a Loooooooong train ride, but it could possibly manage catching up to 360 in a couple years, though not at their current rate. They need to pick up more steam than just what they have now.
Despite the higher price and percived perception that it has no AAA games the ps3 is besting the 360 in all territoies according to vgchartz. Imagine what all those games plus a 100 dollar price cut could do?

Well, sure, but imagine what the same $100 price cut for the 360 would also do. It's not like pricecuts only work for Sony. Lets face it, Sony is still behind 360 by as much as the Wii was last year. If Sony wanted to catch up to 360, they'd basically have to constantly match or outdo Wii sales for the next solid year.

I agree the PS3 has been doing consistently better than the 360 since last christmas, which is why I say eventually, but I just don't see a few exclusives and a price drop as being enough to pull it up to Wii sales rates.
Something to keep in mind is that last generation, you basically had the same thing, but with PS2 in the lead and Nintendo was the one counting on exclusives to keep itself in the lead against the Xbox. Even with the NUMEROUS exclusives that Nintendo had and used, they ended up falling into last place. PS3 has even fewer iconic exclusives to work with right now, and are even farther behind than Nintendo was with the Gamecube.

Sure I think Sony has the potential to do it, but saying that a few exclusives and a price drop are going to be enough is being more than just optimistic.



Seppukuties is like LBP Lite, on crack. Play it already!

Currently wrapped up in: Half Life, Portal, and User Created Source Mods
Games I want: (Wii)Mario Kart, Okami, Bully, Conduit,  No More Heroes 2 (GC) Eternal Darkness, Killer7, (PS2) Ico, God of War1&2, Legacy of Kain: SR2&Defiance


My Prediction: Wii will be achieve 48% market share by the end of 2008, and will achieve 50% by the end of june of 09. Prediction Failed.

I don't think GT5:P will be as big of a kicker in NA as you think.

MGS4 stands to offer a much bigger push for Sony in NA. But, we really need to realize that even though PS3 has been outselling 360 WW constantly, the rate of at which it is outselling the 360 is so small it would take quite a long time to pass.

I have always maintained that 360 would be passed WW by PS3 in late 2009, but, they definitely need to start outselling 360 at a higher rate to meet that goal.

Btw, you sig is the best part of your posting. :) It gave me a chuckle.

 Don't do drugs kids.  j/k OT:  that's a somewhat amusing timeline, though the future is up in the air for the PS3 and relies on many ifs.



Mil. Sellers:

Wii:      25 titles       101.4 mil total    avg 4 mil per title

PS3:     14 titles      28.6 mil total    avg ~2 mil per title

360:     41 titles      89.8 mil total   avg  >2 mil per title

The train keeps a-rollin' all night long...

Or maybe he thinks that having to take it in the ass from Microsoft because of poor hardware makes the 360 the inferior console.
