Look, you're not giving me any material.
I mean,
"Please respond"
"OK"
"Do it again"
"OK"
"Again"
"..."
It's old. If your next post is like the last two, you're gonna get the last word. And I'll win.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

The thing is, you accuse him of deliberately cutting off the latest 360 boost on the graph when it's clearly a false accusation and irrelevant data.  (http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php is clearly a generic graph and available from the main menu; the latest 360 boost is irrelevant for comparing weeks-from-launch sales of the consoles.)

The fact that the PS3 is doing better over time than the 360 may not mean that the PS3 will do equally better overall, since the platforms are not operating in a vacuum but rather acting against and reacting to each other.  The 360 was able to build up steam in an environment without the PS3 or especially the Wii, and the end of the gen is not going to delay itself by a year for the PS3 to "even it out". 

Despite all this, the comparison does illustrate why anyone thinking the PS3 is down for the count ought to think twice.  And your eagerness to jump all over someone making this point says more about you than it does about them. 

 

Yes, but it is a misleading generic graph since it doesn't show the whole picture. He might not have done it on purpose, but he's certainly misleading and biasing the discussion by providing a graph that is missing data.

I think either you are misunderstanding things or my style doesn't convey meanings properly. Read again my posts, there isn't a single hint about "the ps3 is down for the count". That's your quote, not mine by the way. And the reason there isn't a single hint is because it's obvious it's not. Heck, the fact you assume I'm posting under that understatement clearly shows you might be oversensitive about this issue.

But there's no denying the ps3 is in the same situation the 360 was during the first months of 2007: after a long period of time at the same price point, the sales started to go down YoY. That's what's happening to the ps3. The only thing that changed the trend for the X360 was a pricecut and I'd wager the ps3 could use one. But SCE can't afford it and until they can they will bleed marketshare.

 

/yawn

@Cheebe: the mods sometimes let threads that eventually become silly last for many, many pages. Like the shark-man thread about ps3 vs ps2 sales thread.

Ah, excuse me. I meant locally stored =)

By the way, I hope you know you shouldn't leech from SomethingAwful (unless they've dropped their leech-discouraging technology).

So, since it appears this crappy thread (something I am partially to be blamed for) is finally dying off, I'd like to post some good comedy so at least it can end with dignity.
