its stupid to say PS3 outsold 360 by only 11K when gamers could save upto $60 by buying it the week after that in a bundle..

It's stupid to assume that every person with the intent of buying a PS3 is aware of the upcoming bundle.  Otherwise not a single PS3 would have sold last week.  

It's also unfair to compare launch sales of a new SKU to a long standing SKU fo a competing platform.    Sales will drop back down to current market absorption levels a few weeks after release.

MGS4 is PS3 exclusive for the moment while Halo3/Bioshock were Xbox360 exclusive !!!!


Did I miss something here?  When was Halo 3 announced for PS3 or Wii?

 


 

 


 The best I can come up:   Halo 3 will be also on PC so that is why he said   'were Xbox 360 exclusive(s)'.

I'm going to laugh at you guys when the PS3 has negative sales this week.

For one thing Sony is WAY better at design. It shows in the quality of the PS3 compared to the 360. *cough*, PS1, PS2, laptop batteries. Oh, and the X-box was as strong as an ox. There's almost 0 fail rate on the PS3,Yeah sure, "0", I agree they are very reliable compared to past Sony products, but 0 fail rate it does not have, I imagine it is around 2-3% at the moment which is in line with most electronics. one lab even put it in extreme hot and cold conditions for a week and it held up just fine, imagine trying that with the 360. It's more reliable, has better tech, has built in wi fi (99 dollar add on for 360), it plays blu ray disks, it can use higher quality video on exclusives because it has blu ray (the multi platforms don't take as much advantage of the PS3).

I am not even going to respond to the rest because it is mostly an excuse for you to big Sony up, I would much prefer a PS3 over a 360 myself, but I don't post shit like this.

MGS4 is amazing btw, don't hate on it unless you've tried it. Its pure win. Sony is going to pass up MS and never look back just like last gen because all the Xbox buyers are the same poor hardcore nerd crowd (if they had money they'd just use a gaming PC for better versions of all the 360 games).

Sony also works as a quality Divx streamer, has a bigger HD, has more and better exclusives coming with a much larger variety of game types. Its just flat out better in every way.

Why in the world would anyone buy a 360 when the PS3 is already out? Boggles the mind.

Microsoft wouldn't know cool or quality if it smacked them upside the head. If you want proof buy a windows mobile phone and try it, or a zune for that matter, or vista, its all crap. The worst MS creation is below though (I promise its not a rick roll, just watch and be amazed.)

Kyros,

Thx you for your comments. Let's assume u are right and that the things were not so easy for MS.


Viper1,

- I never stated Halo3 was not anymore Xbox360 exclusive. I just used a "past time" because I was referring to past.

- As argument I m mainly using gaming website opinion, not my own opinion.
I m not the one at gamespot that gave 10/ to MGS4
and I believe it is linked to the current sales trend
PS3 was -7.4M some month ago
it is now about -6M
==> +1.4M WW compared to the Xbox360
and there were some insane offer during the last 3 months for the Xbox360

At the opposite u are just picking the last weekly sales as if 1 point was representative ...

- Using useless sentence at the end of post will not help you to convince anyone.

As for the whole point of this thread, you're basing your facts on the lack of recent PS3 bashing in the media?  Then you support it with some personal opinions regarding quality and impact of games not yet released.

 

PS3 outsold X360 by a whopping 11k units worldwide last week.  That's hardly HD console industry shifting figures.  It's more like the ship is no longer sinking.  

 

A silver lining doesn't paint the whole cloud white.

 

 

 You are right about that whole 11k last week but the fact that Sony has sold 3+ million more consoles in the same time frame shows Sony gaining on the 360 fast.
