Forums - Sales Discussion - Double bubble nearly for 360

drpunk on 19 December 2008

It would've been much easier to argue about the lack of bubbles in sales of PS3/360.

Well acording to vg 360 sales this week are nearly 2 to 1 in favour of 360.

 

Oh Oh

 

 
It's been 2:1 for the last 4 weeks basically. Nothing has changed.

Actually it's lower than previous weeks

You're arguing for nothing...
Nobody cares for your damage control explanations.

We can feel your pain (as a Sony Fanboy) from here.

 

 no damage control just stating facts.

The price argument thing is not an excuse anymore. Wii is half the price of PS3 but it sells 3 to 4 times as much as the PS3 on a week to week basis. X360 is cheaper than Wii but X360 gets outsold by Wii by 2 to 3 times on a week to week basis.

 

Tell me. Why the hell 360 sales Increase due to price cut? Price DOES Matter. Anyway 360 fanboys always say that people would rather save 200$ So even they use the Price Arguement. It works both ways you know, 360 fanboys cant have it so it suits them.


So the increase in sales when AAA titles were released has nothing to do with it? NXE has nothing to do with it, XBL has nothing to do with it, Holidays have nothing to do with it?

I mean it's just the Price, that's it, nothing more, nothing, not a single thing.. but the price... the 360 has no games, it has nothing going for it at all, people are just morons and buy a system to just look at... wth are people thinking...

I mean the only 360 on the market is the Arcade 360.

The Pro and Elite were all canceled and MS no longer makes them.


When all is said and done.... the 360 is still out selling the PS3, crying about the price of the 360 is not going to help PS3 sales..

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes of course games etc will increase the sales. but the SINGLE biggest factor is price

 I wasn't the one who started the nearly arguement. I just said 100k difference doesnt equal double then the people tried to use "nut he said nearly" as a defence and that is just a cop out. You'd actually have some standing if I was the one trying to discredit the OP by splitting hairs though... but it is infamy and the others who are.(You're last sentance is saying I was the one who was arguing the words when thats not that case)

What...you didn't read the title of the thread you were posting it? It says nearly right in the title.

 

My point proven?

How is your point proven? The sequence of events you bolded were wrong, as proven by the second point you bolded! Unbelievable.

I recognize Max's line of argument in attempting to argue semantics instead of content. I agree with an earlier poster - it's pathetic when the best Max and co can do is claim the adjective to describe 360's pouncing on PS3 is too strong. An adjective like "almost" might do the trick. The 360 almost doubled PS3 sales this week. Victory is sweet, huh Max?

 whats with all these low post count noobs trying to argue with me and being completely wrong? Like i said previously. I had 2 other points everyone seems to ignore... obviously the best you guys can try and do is discredit me by only paying attention to one point.... and its funny how you guys are trying to tell me im trying to argue semantics when.... are you ready for the irony? THATS WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING TO TRY AND DISCREDIT ME!!!! GASP!

LOL hypocrits. Arguing semantics and saying i only have semantics to argue about....

Don't get too excited, the post count isn't a measure of intelligence, mister I registered less than 2 months ago. Try looking at when I registered on this site and when you did. 

You're two other points are shit:

2. "http://vgchartz.com/weekly.php?date=39782 ... so we are posting threads congradulating consoles for weaker performances now?"

You're comparing this weeks sales to black friday sales week. Are you that ignorant or confused?

3. shouldnt this be in a weekly sales thread?

If you've got a problem with it report it to the mod and explain your opinion that it should be in weekly sales thread.

The Xbox 360 is failing, face it. Its nearest rival the Wii is completely outpacing it whilst the PS3s gap to the Xbox 360 is much, much, much smaller than the gap from the Wii to 360.

 

I hope you're trolling. I really do. Because there is so many things wrong with that statement.

 

No, he's not. He's stating a truth: the X360 might be the prominent HD console, but it's quickly losing ground to the market leader. The Wii has been steadily increasing it's marketshare and we aren't too far from the tipping point. Soon the HD consoles will be less than half the market and are burdened with huge development costs.

In order to create a Wii game, all you need are SD assets and knowledge of old technology. In order to create a PS360PC game, you need HD assets (which are more expensive to build), knowledge of new technology and code spanning three different platforms. All that trouble just to reach less than half the market.

Well, counting the PC, it's over 1/2 the market, but still, your point stands.

360 and PS3 are being outsold by Wii at a steady clip, and being happy in this moment means you also need to realize that you're being outsold 2:1 also, so what does that make you (not you, but 'you')

I mean, don't celebrate outselling PS3 2:1 when you're being outsold by the Wii 2:1.

And I didn't mean anyone in general, but I had to say "you".
