no more hiphop gamer please



This frequently happens. Hang on, I'll get some PS2/xbox comparisons

Assuming 125 m for PS2 25 m for xbox


Need for Speed Underground
PS2 5.2%
xbox 6.56%

Need for Speed Underground 2
PS2 5.1%
xbox 8.2%

I could get a lot more examples, but I am lazy.

What does this prove?

Neither the 360, nor the PS2 can sell software??

NO!

It proves that the console with a lower install base will tend to have a higher attach rate for games, and for the console as a whole



Interesting how newer ip's like cod sell better on de xbox360 and old ones like fifa or resident evil do it better (percentage wise) on the ps3.

Its pretty easy to predict what titles will do better on a ps3.

The ps3 is definately picking up on the sales, but the attachmentrate is still a solid 2 games below de xbox360 so they have a long way to go and that takes time and time is exactly what sony doesnt have.

The ps3 might die quicker then expected, i definately dont see it winning over the xbox360 and that alone is pretty mindblowing, the idea slowly grows on you but if you would have said such a thing 2/3 years ago it would have been madness



you would have no way of determining this. How many movie buffs / tech heads of high end setups bought PS3 as a dedicated Blu-Ray player with absolutely no intentions of ever buying any games whatsoever.

The fact is that was how the PS3 was targeted in the beginning, (lowest price BD player on the market for much of its life) That being said the VGChartz doesn't show how many BD movies are being sold each week, if you take in the consideration that there are still royalties being paid to sony for these movies and that PS3 is probably at least 50 % of the BD players sold does it even matter.

Peter and Bob each bough two apples. But Peter also bought an orange.


Hiphop gamer is comparing the apples, and forgets the orange.


PS. The orange is the number of Xbox 360 exclusives at time A minus the number of PS3 titles at the same time A. In other words, this hiphop study neglects the total number of games available, lol.
