hey cut starcraft a break, hes done research papers and stuff on ms and the industry so I think he has a better understanding of the situation ms is in then any one who thinks ms is going down. Sony fan boys just accept the fact that its going to be a while before you can crown your little ps3 as seccond place, if it actually does manage to maintian its current sales. Stop living in the future glory because nothing is for certian. accept that sony is still loosing, by a HUGE margin and stop bashing the 360. I can say this because Im a wii fan and will get a ps3 for the blu ray player one day and have no intention on getting a 360 so dont call me a fan boy

 You mean Q3 or Q4 of this year?

So how exactly have you found out that all of these 100,000 people were PS2 owners? Yes you can assume that these are all people that bought the game on the PS2, but what about the people that bought the game on Xbox? there were 2 million sales of GTA: SA on the original XB. Can you show me some evidence that the 100,000 360 boost was from those that bought it on the PS2, instead of people who bought it on the Xbox and were waiting for this game before they bought a 360. I suggest you can't prove that, and therefore your whole argument is built on unsubstantiated assumptions that use the incredible success of the PS2 to undermine the successes of the current PS iteration.
I said in my post I extrapololated that number by working out the difference in sales between this week and last week.  I also said that not ALL of those 100,000 people would be PS2 upgraders.  But I WOULD suggest that the REGULAR Xbox 360 numbers (that don't include the 100,000) would already incorporate much of the "Xbox upgrader's."

Hi starcraft!

FIVE DAYS????  I was trying to figure out how long it was.  I went down the coast with my GF and got back mid-monday to find myself banned, leo-j gone FOREVER, and the next day you were unleashing hell on the Xbox 360 and there was NOTHING I could do about it lol.

But that's just the point Starcraft. In truth you have no idea who those 100,000 people are. Heck even the people that bought the Wii may or may not have bought a PS2 before that. The Wii is always being called a disruptive force that brings people into gaming, so how do you know that those aren't all just new gamers?

So in essence, yes you can assume that Sony lost big this week, but I will remain steadfast in the great week PS3 hardware is having and the unexpectedly good attach rate of GTAIV SW. Is Sony doing as well as it was during the PS2 iteration? HELL NO. But it's doing well, and I'm happy with that. Be happy with the SW sales of the 360 and the boost it saw in hardware, Starcraft, don't instead spend your time rubbing your hands together and doing a maniacal laugh at the differences between Sony's position in this and the last generation. That's just bashing another side instead of being happy with your own.



...

Also, your post fails.

You can't prove 360 took PS2 owners. Don't bother responding, I don't care to argue this done-to-death subject... I'm not even playing this game anymore.

Fair enough.  We'll wait to see if the Xbox 360 outsells the Xbox, and whether the PS3 makes it to 120 million units.

Then we'll know for sure.
