360 got blu-ray now? Oh, that's right, it was a silly statement.

Because bluray is such a hot commodity in the USA right now, LOL!

 

 

 

Pretty irrelevant to be fair; I know perfectly well how blu-ray is performing in the US market, but that avoids my point entirely. I merely pointed out that the competition does not in fact offer an 'identical' experience.

it does offer identical experiences. i meant identical experiences in terms of gaming.

That's quite innacurate. If you look at games released and being released this past 6 months and the next 6 months you begin to notice a steadily increasing gap between the graphical capabilities if first party ps3 games vs first party xbox games. The difference is not yet huge but it is definitely becoming more noticable and the ps3 is ayear ounger than the xbox  meaning it hasn't even experience the same degree of hardware familiarity from developers.

Tell me why exactly would people go to the PS3? The graphics you say?

I'm sorry, but is this the year 2006? Have I been caught in some time warp that sent me back to 2006 or am I just in a very large time loop like Groundhog Day? If the answer to these questions is no, then I guess that means that your argument is basically worthless.

 

 

So you're saying that nobody on the face of this earth could possibly prefer a system with more advanced gaphical abilities?

No. I am saying that the general population could probably not even remotely care about graphics. If you want to argue and most likely crash into the ground and burn insanely, be my guest.

Well then, why has the PS3 sold anything at all? Why haven't there been 0 sales worldwide because there is an identical experience for half the price? Because there are people who haven't heard of the 360? Who don't know how much it costs? Knowing Microsoft, they probably put billboards everywhere saying [Xbox 360, now $200!]

There is clearly something about the double price system that a lot of people like.
