Hey now, I don't appreciate the questioning of my RPG Gamerness (I made a new word, and now it is law). I doubt anyone on this site has played as many JRPGs as me.

I wasnt questioning yours. I was just saying that it is my favourite genre and there is no way I can wait for a 8/10 or higher rpg. I have to have like day 1. :)


In my experience, review scores are next to worthless for JRPGs. A game that shouldn't be scored above a 6 like FFXII gets IXs and an original and fun game like Baten Kaitos is lucky to get 8s.

Yeah Definately agree. If it sucks though after I bought I just take it back. FF is reviewed like that because reviewers are scared to give bad press to a dev like square.

PS fanboy's frivilously arguing .
I'M NOT A FANBOY. I been accused of being 360 and Ps3 fanboy. Stop. I like games on both consoles.

 


sorry, but predicting 85-90m lifetime for the 360 automatically makes you a fanboy. no one is that stupid.

also, how could anyone call you a PS3 fanboy when you in contrast said it would only do 45-50m lifetime?

you're a HUGE fanboy, bigger than starcraft perhaps.

LOL, You realise I took that away right? Also that was when PS3 sales were regularly 70,000 to 100,000 behind in ww sales. I was actually making a gamble prediction. But my gamble was wrong.LOL. Is that really all you have for me. I'll enlighten you briefly.  N64 owned for 3 years, bought 16 games.PS1 owned for 2 years bought 12 games. PS2 owned for 6  years bought 58 gamesGC owned for 3 years bought 9 gamesXbox owned for 3 years bought 5 games. I must really love MS. I buy whatever console has the most games I play on it at the time. And PS3 I decided to wait till MGS4. I jump to the console where the games are. Not like you to shag a company.

so, because the ps3 was 70,000 to 100,000 behind the 360, the 360 would randomly explode and sell 90m somehow? yeah, that makes sense. I think you need to brush up on your math.

If it carried on that way, then the momentum would have gotten greater. ie PS2. Thats not Math thats common sense.

Ok so i see that most of you are saying that the Ps3 has this great line up witch is true and i want to go out and buy one. But the 360 has a lot of good games comming out for it also so i think that it will stay above the Ps3.

The thing that bugs me the most though is the fact that the wii is selling so good with aboslutly no game except for brawl... =/

Because the only reason the 360 is (was) selling better than the PS3 was price. They're both still expensive and the PS3 has already caught up. When both consoles are cheap enough, price won't even be an issue, and then the PS3 will overtake the 360.

If it coninues like these(based on charts from april 5th) the ps3 will catch up in 63 weeks.

186 000/(11.6 *10^6)= 0.015(ps3)

134000/(18.1*10^6)=0.0075(360)

1.015^x*11.6*10^6=1.0075^x*18.1*10^6

(1.015^x)/(1.0075^x)=(18.1*10^6)/(11.6*10^6)

1.0079^x=1.56034

(log 1.56034)/(log 1.0079)=63-64 weeks


In europe 19 weeks:


100 000/5.2mill=.02(ps3)

66 000/6.2mill=.01(360)

5.1mil*1.02^x=6.2*1.01^x

1.02/1.01= 1.0099=1.01^x

6.2/5.1=1.21

log 1.21/log 1.01= 19 weeks

You're using a wrecking ball to hit a nail in a two by four...  this is simple math

PS3 is outselling the 360 by 52,000 units/week so it will take 123 weeks for the PS3 to catch up to the 6.4 million consoles its behind... NOT 66


Wrong, you say that as if for those 123 weeks the 360 doesn't sell a single console. It needs much mroe than 123 weeks to catch it, saying it sells this constant, for both the PS3 and the 360.

So really the Ps3 is like years away from passing the 360 if it ever passes it?

Check your facts.  OUTselling by 52k/week * 123 = 6.34 million which is *GASP* about the amount the PS3 needs to pass the 360!  And that's not counting the acceleration of the timetable due to increased holiday sales on both consoles, etc. (see DMeisterJ's post above)
