Forums - Sony - Why has the PS3 outsold the 360 by almost 1.5 million units this year?

It's easy to see why. The Ps3 has had some heavy hitters first half of the year. 2nd half of the year will belong to M$. 360 has saved it's heavy hitters for August to Feb.

Because M$ isn't interesting in bragging rights, but instead are interesting in profits...question is the PS3 lost nearly $4 bln over the pass couple of years...how much longer can Sony take these loses?

 

 As long as SONY is making a profit which they are.  SONY doesn't just make PS3's ya know...



Hackers are poor nerds who don't wash.

PS3 is now affordable $400 and all those people who wanted playstation at the beginning are starting to get it

better upcoming games. more for your money the expensive looking sexy black slick design

 

yes, it looks like a George Foreman Grill, which everyone wants.

You were joking, right? The PS3 has a very ugly design. It looks like 1982.

I think the PS3 is outselling the 360 this year primarily due to Microsoft missteps and the weakness of games on the 360 so far this year.

The Ps3 is extremely slick and shiney. Slick and shiney is hot right now.

 

 

Yes, it has a piano black finish.  But it's huge and ugly and really fat.  Technology is supposed to be small and sexy, but huge, fat and ugly like the PS3 is.  The problem is that Sony engineering couldn't make it small and sexy.  They weren't capable of it. That's literally the truth why it is huge and ugly -- no one in their right mind would have said, "hey, we can make this thing small and sexy but let's make it huge and ugly."

It's more unattractive than the 360.

 

Hey! Don't call my girlfriend fat! At least she's not a slut unlike your 360...asshole.

The PS3 also looks like the BOSE Lifestyle 5.1 media center, but of course that's still a subjective preference.  But trust me when I say that the PS3's look is NOT 1982.  1982 is beige and boxy, I know since that was "my" era.

 Resistance 2

Socom Confrontation

LBP

Motorstorm 2

Killzone 2

Disgaea 3

God of War 3

Possibly Gran Turismo 5

yeah PS3 has no heavy hitters for the 2nd half and holiday season do some research next time

Not to turn this into a games argument, but I'd hardly call Too Human/ Fable 2/ and Gears 2 the heaviest of hitters.  I mean, they'll all do well, well, Fable 2 and Gears 2 will do well, but they're nothing like GTA IV or something that big.  That is a heavy hitter.

Also, the PS3 will have Killzone2, Resistance 2, and LBP in that time period too.  All those are big games.

Guys, all this talk of "heavy hitters" are all opinioniated anyway so there is no point arguing over it.  But I must say that I'm looking forward to Siren.  Whether it's a "heavy hitter" or not, I don't care as long as I enjoy the game, and  that's all that really matters.

It looks great standing up, period.  Sony engineers, far better than MS's or anyone MS hires, have built a cool (doesn't fry itself), quiet machine.  MS couldn't have done better, and in fact, they've done worse.  Their shit doesn't even work, with a failure rate at least sixteen times higher than PS3.

How you gonna fit the big, quiet PS3 fan in a smaller, non-convex package, genius?  YOU HAVE TO MAKE A CONSOLE THAT WORKS.  Sony succeeded; aesthetics are constrained by quality concerns.  PS3 still looks more attractive than 360; MS pwned. 

When the Cell and RSX go to smaller die sizes, the package will shrink.  Again, MS couldn't do better and would in fact do worse. 

Your post is pathetic.  Seriously, pathetic trolling.
