Yeah DmesiterJ!



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

;_;



the numbers we have don't back it up, 360 is constantly outselling PS3 WW. The only reason might be that companies are getting more revenue from europe than the US because the games are more expensive.(revenue does not equal profit).



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

Wait. I thought all ps3s were bought for Blu-Ray??

Yup, I also thought it had no games...

 

 

Yup I thought it was: it has NO games, it's ONLY a good Blu-ray player, and $399.99 is WAAAAYYY too expensive and NOBODY will see the value in that - yup my PS3 bothers I'm sure you recall that one too.

It had no games at all about a year ago. Right now it has some great games, just a bit less Great games than 360 but it really depends on your tastes.

 



End of '08 predictions (made by theprof00): PS3: 20m, 360: 23.5m, wii: 42m

Now Playin':  PS3|Resistance 2, LBP, Uncharted and Fifa 09, PSP| Ratchet and Clank: Size matters, 360| Gears of war 2 and Fallout 3.

Here is why that story is ignorant:

The title: PS3 selling more games than Xbox 360 with smaller install base.

Yet, the actual story only proves that the 360 makes more revenue for 4 3rd party companies last quarter, and that's it. Period. It makes no other claims.

Thus, the title is misleading and factually incorrect because:

1. Game revenue does not equal all games sold. The title implies numeric number of games sold is higher on the PS3, and that's just not true.

2. This is an analysis of 3rd party games, yet the title clearly indicates all games(ie first party games and other 3rd party games that aren't included).

3. This analysis is cherrypicked. The only examples presented here are from publishers that help with the authors point.

Of the 4 companies it encompasses, 1 of them recently released MGS4.

4. Counting Konami for the PS3, is the equivelant of counting Epic for the 360. Yet the article never mentions MGS4.

It only uses examples that prove its point and it presents no contradicting evidence.

It also states a completely different and unprovable point in its title.

This is worse than the Wii NYT article, saying the Wii doesn't sell as may games as the PS3 or 360. In this article, there are also 2 misspelled words.

Anyone can see past this fallacy. The question is, do you choose to see the truth, or accept the lie? It's amazing what people will accept as long as it correlates with their hope.

As for this line:

"The future for the PS3 looks bright and healthy, however if the current trend continues the Xbox 360 might find itself struggling to compete in the market."

Well, you tell me if this article is fair and balanced?



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

This...

 

This.........Is...........Seconded!

VGC is at odds with the article by a long shot. According to VGC data, the X360 has sold just under 63 million software units this year versus 46.8 million software units for the PS3.

So someone is off by quite a bit. Take your pick.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

That's because the article is talking about revenue for 4 cherrypicked companies, not numerical game sales.

The title is misleading, factually incorrect, and completely unrelated to the actual article.

I've lain it all out in my previous post.

There is a term to describe this analysis, trying to remember...
