Forums - Sales - To all Spinsters: PS3 is NOT dying.

So the Xbox 360 outsold the PS3 by 10k in August.  Crow is being served on a steaming bun, however, people should look at a couple of facts-

 

The reality is,

A) the Xbox 360 is 100+ dollars cheaper than the PS3,

B) had TWO exclusives in August (ToV, and Too Human), and

C) had a liquidation of the 20 gigabyte unit. This should reflect very easily in the sales numbers. 

It only outsold the PS3 by 10 k units.  So for Xbox 360 fans to suddenly cry out "PS3 is dead,"- imagine what one price drop with a bundled game would do for the Playstation 3? Not only that, Gamestop across the nation have said there has been a shortage in supply, and the new Cell 65nm has been a bottleneck in production.  World Wide the PS3 is still outselling the 360. 

 

 

So is the PS3 dying? No.  Is it too late for the PS3 in NA? No.  Is bluray dead? No.  Are people on VG Chartz blowing 10k out of proportion? Yes.

I know.  I love the insane drabble by the Xbots.  I mean lets face it, with stone hard facts like that, shouldn't the Xbox 360 be putting up 200k + numbers?

Too Human did kill the PS3 :-/

And aren't spinsters women who are too old to get married? I don't think we have any of those here.

They're both dead anyway. You're arguing over which corpse twitches more. ;)



No one said it's dead. However, for the last several months, Sony fanboys have been spouting that the 360 is dead. This proves that it is clearly not, as this is from a month BEFORE the price cut, with two games that were relative bombs with regard to sales.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Neither console is dead..

They are selling hundreds of thousands a month world wide, how are they dead?

There is a reason for that. When at 299 you cannot manage to outsell a console that is selling at a 399, and 499 price point- that has to say something.  For the PS3 to pull in numbers like this at 399, says a lot.  Imagine if the PS3 was at 299, I think it would pull in 300k+ numbers.

I'm not saying they are Leo, and I know you one of the more level headed guys, but all across the net I see people declaring PS3 is ted doomz! Thats not the case, like I said before, for the PS3 to be selling this many units at 399 is quite a testament.  Imagine if it were 299, that would push so many people into the camp.
