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

Well ps2 isnt dead yet why should it.

You can't die when you're already dead.

Jnikog.



The topic sounds like a person who feels insecure that their favorite system and needs to find justification for why it's not. But hey that's what the topic sounds like. How about the content..... hmmm. interesting.. /whatever

who cares?! the consoles are so interchangable anyways. A handful of exlusives where you can generally find a equivelant on the other isn't that big a deal. Now LBP is just awesome in concept.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

None will be dead...




I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought of the fact that spinster is entirely the wrong word.

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.

 

 

Er, maybe Im wrong, but arent you the guy that posted that you thought the PS3 was maybe dying because of it being outsold?



I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

This space Reserved for the Nuggets of Wisdom dropped by Bladeforce:

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"

"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"

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.

 

Well by older standards, but not anymore.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

What's with all the Yanks on this site who think the PS3 is failing whenever it's struggling in America? Put on your listening ears, America. YOU... ARE... NOT... THE... WHOLE... WORLD. Which is more significant, a 10k loss in America or a six-figure win worldwide? Or do you think the rest of the world gets their consoles by trading them for magic beans?



Games machines owned: C64*, NES, SNES*, PS1, PS2*, PS3* (*still own).

GREAT MOMENTS IN HUMAN HISTORY

WTF?  Did you just lose your mind?  compairing MGS4 to LBP?  I seriously doubt that LBP will put up a showing like MGS4... it doesn't have the pedigree and it's a niche title dispite it's awsomeness.
