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.

 

Who said the PS3 was dying????  Its amazing to me every time a console gets outold its due to a shortage thats the same excuse Xbox used a few months back...lol

shortage for 360 is true.
the price cut will hurt PS3 badly and in the end doomed by Gear 2

Check out this guy's post history.

He's either the most blatant 360 fanboy...or the worst ps3 troll.  Either way...I predict a ban soon.

Exclusives like Carnival Games, Deca Sports and Big Beach Sports on other consoles, have killed Playstation 3 brand long time ago, lack of big games like that is what hurts PS3 fans most. Oh and the price cut

In reality, the NPD results may not be accurate either, so the PS3 could have still won this month. The NPD doesnt track some shops i believe, like Walmart (i think, could be wrong)

The PS3 lives on!

 



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

So the months the PS3 wins xbox people can say PS3 didnt win cause the numbers could be wrong, thats a weak argument

Neither console is dead..

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

 

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.

If leo-j is one of the more level headed guys around here, this forum is in for a hell of a ride!

 



Signature goes here!
