50% by the end of the year.

 

Hopefully...

not likely

yeh, more like impossible - it would need to outsell the PS3+360 by 1.6mil over two weeks.. even with thiese huge sales in America and Europe, they only came out ahead by <500k this week.. it'll pass 50% in january

@jake - not being 1:1 = laggy controls is like saying that the 360 controller lags because you can't shake it to perform a melee attack in Halo 3, it is not possible as defined by the hardware (although, the 1:1 thing will change in a few months, and then you can whine about it all you like)

that's a dumb comparison, it's like saying someone wants to play red steel with with dual analogue but can't, clearly they can't cuz it doesn't have a second analogue just as the 360 has no motions sensors.

As for the 1:1, it requires a motion plus attachment for every single controller, which means an extra peripheral, and if developer make game with the wii motion plus then that would mean that unless you have the motion plus, the controls for the game are broken, its just dumb, Nintendo should have released it from the get go.

It doesnt matter what makes no sense to me is the following:

BOTH THE XBOX 360 AND PLAYSTATION 3 HAD a significantly better games lineup than the wii this year, yet it doesnt matter in any single way.

GAMES do not sell consoles anymore

but the name wii does

 

Dude i think you should chill out, relax and go to bed or start enjoying your ps3 and stop getting frustrated it's not healthy. Games lineup is a matter of taste.... not metacritic

 We will leave you sheep alone will that make it better?

Yes, you can have the sheep when they get old and we're forced to kill them and sell their meat. We get the sheep when they are young and lively.

 



Tease.

@jake_the_fake1

The same could be say about the 360 and PS3.

Why some people chose the PS3 as their HD console when the 360 has more aclaimed games compared to the PS3, better online play compared to PSN, better services and features, a larger gaming community and equally graphical quality at a lower price?

 

 The ps3 has a blu-ray player

The ps3 had a superior library of games this year

I dont even know why 360 is called an "HD" console if it doesnt even play any HD discs.

ONLINE play on psn is superior due to dedicated servers

Better services? And features? Like???

Both have 14 million accounts

THE PS3's exclusives have amazing visuals, that I have yet seen any 360 game surpass.

 

 

 

Leo You need to calm down a bit. Anything 720p and above is considered HD, even if not on a larger disc size.

Also calling PSN a superior service is a JOKE. Parties aside as its a new feature. When PSN gets working voice chat in all games (sony first party sports games have broken chat still), a majority of people actually using the working chat, and friends lists that work in ALL games. Then you can start comparing.

The Japanese people are so quiet its like they don't exist.

But for the most part the numbers will stay relatively close to that, because Japan is about as important to the home console market as the U.K is, probably less so now.

 

During christmas,  Japan is bigger.

HW sales UK (no Ps2): 532K

Estimated HW Japan (Preview): 660K

 

Japan is somewhere ~ 1/10 of the total. As it is incredibly anti-X360 biased, it means a lot more than those 10% would seem like it does.

 

PS: I'm not American. I'm a Tajikistani (I always thought that cold place in Northern Europe I live in was Norway, but my VGChartz profile states otherwise).

If you were Swedish, I would give you a gleeful SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! But unfortunately you Norwegians are far too serious. The Swedish people are like the best scandinavians, the Norwegians are just wannabes.

But you see, I was talking home console market where Japan is weak relative to the rest of the world so their impact on that market isn't as much as their 10% would indicate.

P.S I updated again, lulz. Damn IOI!

 

That's actually true. Norway has always (up untill the 1960s) been Sweden's little brother (heck, they owned us for quite some time). Then Norway found oil, and became rich.

 

And home consoles in Japan are actually 12% (1/8) of the total home console sales. So it is still over 10% (handhelds it is over 25%)
