So ,when you think install base,please dont compare it to the number of consoles sold . that goes for PS3 and wii too . |
Ya cause no one gets them repaired for free they buy another. also they dont count warranty and exchanged as sales????
but your right the ps3 totally kills with software sales based on the same amount of user?????
sorry that was a flame.

In before the lock ...
@ Acetech - no, you can't compare online accounts. I have 1 LIVE Gold account and 1 LIVE Silver account. I have 3 PSN accounts - 1 is in French, the other euro account in the UK. And my U.S. account.
| ZenfoldorVGI said: It might not be much bigger, but it certainly is better for the console, per gamer. We buy a shit ton of games, while the PS3 audience, not so much. Just compare exclusive sales, or how bout sales of the best games, like Bioshock. It's quality, not quantity. Not that I'm taking credit for the 360 fanbase being a megaton for the industry. I'm just stating that it's a damn fact. |
European PS3 owners prove that you're wrong. The PS3 sells more games there despite its smaller userbase.

Your logic is extremely flawed and entirely without basis in reality. Your notion that everyone has gone through, on average, 2 systems is absolutely laughable. I have yet to meet one person who has bought a second 360, and have known a couple who have had to get it repaired. They do the smart thing and just send it in under the warranty, or pay the small charge attached to fixing it. You are using anecdotal evidence and terrible logic to try and portray the 360 as having a smaller userbase for some reason. Really, everyone would be better off ignoring it.

Now you see how ridiculous it sounds when someone says that. Most people are intelligent enough to heed the three-year warranty (which only just expired for launch consoles) instead of shelling out another $200. On top of that, if you really believe what you're saying, then the PS2 has only sold 70-80 million (roughly half what our numbers say) because almost every owner has had to replace it at some point, andSony DOESN'T fix or replace them for free.
My logic is simple. If you still want to ignore it, be my guest.
Why dont we compare the number of online accounts. Plus I know 3 people that have 2 or more 360s.

Oh and my 360's NEVER broke down on me and I had 3... 1st 360 sold for having lack of games at the time that was in early 2006 2nd 360 (Elite) sold for being a D*ckhead needed money at the time 3rd 360 sold since I got a Ps3 and I had to gather up money for my car :) See so technically I had 3 of those 28 Mil...but thats just me idk How many other people did this lol...and I know some people who would rather go out and buy another 360 then have it shipped then have to wait for it to come back...its possible but doesnt make up for the 8 mil gap |
Point taken, but also alot of broken 360's were replaced via the 3 year warranty.
