ofcourse the price argument isn't nutty.

Its a fact....the xbox 360 can't outsell a system with a much higher price adequately.

In NA every week PS3 is up 100% YOY (check the American data source posts with the %)

In EU its the same situation....you can do the comparison yourself.

You know VERY well in the holidays the increase is much more dramatic

thats almost an increase of 100% YOY

The Legend clearly stated the Playstation brand was being destroyed.....I am baffled by this because the PS3 is almost going to outdo PS2's best year in EU this year itself (for reference & PROOF which yo think I'm not giving you check the thread with that title)

so I'm not pulling numbers out of my backside....what I'm saying is correct.

The Playstation brand is not being destroyed as Legend so clearly put it....it is vbeing revived due to strong PS3 sales this year & PSP resurgence in Japan.

Besides your last point only strenghtens my argument....as the Ps Brand has shown an increase YOY in sales so its not being "destroyed".

Please read the post I am responding to & see the context of what I'm typing before replying.

Ps3 is up 100% in Americas - Correct. This year 2.6M, last year 1.4M, so close enough.

Ps3 is almost up 100% WW - Flawed. As I said, If you exclude the fact that 2007 was an incomplete year for Europe, it may be. To get a fair perspective, you would need to take out the 1st quarter 2008 sales, which are 1433K. That leaves 5.7M vs 4.1M, or slightly less than a 50% increase. Nothing more than what should be expected, as even the 360 is seeing a 45% increase.

How did Legend state anything about the Playstation Brand? In your quote it said "What if this game isn't the giant system seller that PS3 fans are hoping for? Can the PS3 afford to lose ground this Christmas?". That's a very logical thing to say, and honestly, the thought has strifed me too.

Why the hell did you put the PsP into the conversation? It has nothing to do here. I cannot fathom why you put it here. It isn't like the system has taken off worlwide, currently it's only 20% increased YoY (not saying that's bad, it's very good). d

As for the Ps3 outselling the Ps2's best year in Others, the Ps2 sold 8M in 2003. The Ps3 has currently sold 3.8M. That's mighty impressive of the Ps3, but not going to be anywhere near the Ps2's best year.

The Playstation Brand increased by a minimal sum (heck, now I'm saying it too), that was lower than its competition. How is that being on the rise?

By the way, I'm going to bed now. I apologize for leaving in the middle of a discussion, but it's getting late. Can't wait to see your reply tomorrow, but don't expect one from me before late tomorrow

So why exactly are we talking about Fable 2 in this thread?

Cause someone thinks first day sales of 350,000 is so $%^!#!@# and is amazingly awesome when first week sales is most important. 350,000 is nothing. LBP will push more than that. You know why? Cause Sackboy says so! Sackboy doesn't accept garbage from anyone.

LITTLEBIGPLANET GAME FACE! YYYYYYYYYARRRRRRRRGHHH!!!

I'm just saying that Sony is now out for blood and being far more competitive than they have ever been. There have been sales with up to 5 games packed in with the PS3 with several being AAA games. And yet some fanboys seem to think that having the Xbox 360 with Gears of War 2 packed it will make up for that.

I don't know, I just think some people are fooling themselves and are in for a shock this holiday season. In fact I will go so far as to say what is happening in Japan is nothing compared to what is coming in Europe. The PS3 will outsell the Xbox 360 not only in the UK but mainland Europe will begin to fall as well.

The big games like Fable II and Gears of War 2, well they're nice but the war may not be decided after they're are released. Microsoft seriously needs to wake up and do something about their Microsoft brand being destroyed by the Wii and soon the PS3. The Wii is grabbing PS2 casuals at an alarming rate and the Xbox 360 is struggling in the battles it has chosen to fight in, since its sales were poor throughtout the year until the pricecut which shows they are desperate to make sales.

Fixed~

I so agree with you! I mean who cares about Kung Fu Panda and LEGO bundled with Xbox 360. Do anyone like these kind of games?
