Incredible what a brand name can do. When you can get almost all of the same games on a cheaper system, a few you cant get, and even more you can't get on the Ps3, and people still keep buying the Ps3. Basicly, people know a brand, and buy it. Going from the unbeliveble sales of the Ps2 to what the Ps3 has become now, is really really bad work on Sony's side tho. Nintendo sells there consoles with new names, and this time it is really kicking butt, without a brand at all. Microsoft is still building threre brand, so good work on there part by getting this far this gen.

 

It is especially true in Europe. People buy the Ps3 because they know the brand and there is also a strong Ps2 install base.The marketing of Ms is minimal here ...

Only hardcore gamer directly switched to the 360.

But now that we have an economical crisis, people will probably look twice before spending 200 Euros more for a game console ...

If MS weren't that bunch of greedy paranoid monopolistic vampires they are, I'd feel sorry for them when I see the utterly bland and lame commercials they do here in Italy. I'm not surprised casual market doesn't even understand what they are.

That's funny considering Sony pretty much held a monopoly on the market for the past 6-7 years and they greedily used that to shove down their loyal fans throat a 600$ trojan to push the HD format war, the revenues of which won't come back in any way to the users unless they hold Sony shares.

Read the first 10 or so posts in this thread and couldn't help but chuckle. It is like some Sony alter worship or something. You guys are funny.

LOL, it's nothing compared to the Windows monopoly.  "Shove"?  Just don't buy PS3 if you don't like it.  You wouldn't buy blu ray disks anyway, so it doesn't matter!  Get it?  But now....Windows, different story.  Windows doesn't just compete with others the way BR competed with HDDVD.  If you don't get the differences...

Benefits don't come back to users?  Not true.  Bigger storage media helps with games, too, and lots and lots of people like to watch BR movies. 

Still, though, faster sales than 360.  It's got appeal, man!  And brand powah.

so, in the real reality PS3 is already ahead of X360 in sales, whereas in the current reality it is still behind?

Nice stuff.

Come on peeps.  One way of looking at it, valid, is that 360 has sold more units overall.  Another way of looking at it, valid, is that PS3 has sold faster since launch over the same period (this with competition from an already-launched HD console).

It's like how all Gamecube owners last gen clung to the fact that Nintendo made a nice profit off of it. Yeah, you're ahead of 360 sales a year ago but that doesn't change Sony's situation any right now. Microsoft did the smart thing and came out first despite various Dreamcast comparisons (which I actually liked because DC is my fav console :p) and are clinging to the lead they paid dearly for ::coughRRODcough:: Sony may be able to tie things up but it won't change the fact that this generation has been a big disappointment to Sony.

True.

 



 

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.
