Also, he forgot to say the ps3 is failing because of poor advertising

#5 isn't the case anymore. his  support for it is awful (higher attach rate means the system has better games? maybe x360 owners just buy more games. not to mention the ps3 owners who only use theirs for movies).

is failing in your opinion... did you stop to think that there are 20 million people that dont agree with you and that ps3 aint no failure in they living room... your opinion is no stronger than other

How about when the opinions reach 8 to 2?

Why doesn't he use WW attach ratio instead of NPD? Move along people, its old news.

xbox 360 has the same amount of SKUs
Pro
Arcade
Elite

now the ps3 has just 2 the 160 and the 80gig

PS3 had 7 different SKUs, the 360 had 4

NPD is the only one we have reliable numbers on i'd guess.

Either way attach rate is kinda meaningless with the 360 out  year longer.

Now games bought/total months of console ownership....

that would say something.

I only disagree with #3.

That and the fact the PS3 is far from failure. It has actually sold more than the 360 in less time. The 360 has just been out longer so it has a higher total sold.

While you may be right in theory you are as wrong as hell in reality.  360 was released a year earlier but in that one year its sales were seriously held back by the fact many potential buyers were holding out for the new Playstation.  However, when it released for $600 many of those potential buyers disappeared.  Since the PS3 released 360 has sold more than it and it looks like the gap is only going to get bigger rather than smaller. 

 

 

Someone else finally gets what I've been saying and you try to shoot them down.  It's not a theory, it's the truth.  If you want to go into held back sales and that nonsense then let's bring the Wii into the picture.  It was released around the same time as the PS3.  So I bet PS3 sales were held back.  And you would say that 360 sales were held back even more (both true).

I'm going to copy and paste this from another post of mine.

 

year 1             year 2             year 3             year 4

PS3: 5,856,110     16,871,475      20,809,951 (current year)

360: 5,895,015     13,631,951      23,279,252    28,913,386 (current year)

 

OMG! darendt was rigth!  

I feel like I'm on this huge Sony love train the past day or so.  And I like it.  I don't hate the 360 or it's fanboys.  I'm not trying to say that the PS3 is better than the 360.  I'm not going to bash the 360 and say it's going to fail.

So a system is failing when it just outsold its direct competition WW this week, and when it's not doing that it loses by less than 25% in WW sales when its price is 200% that of the 360... yeah, it's failing miserably. See also: very solid software sales.

It outsold the Wii world wide this week?
