LOL.

First step is always denial,

Next step is acceptance.

360 trolls - 50k more after 31 days being half priced in its strongest territory is NOT good no matter how you wanna spin it

 

I hate this half priced crap that PS3 fanboys always use. SONY decided to load the PS3 with features like Online and Wifi and HDD while MS gives you the option. So its SONYs fault. I love how for the PS2 AMericas was  huge region now the PS3 is still less that half of 360.

And now the gap has been reduced to only being outsold by 50k. YEA!!! Only 8 660 000 consoles behind in Americas. PS3 FTW!!!!

Whether you love it or hate it, Max is right.  The 360 is half the price of the PS3 and it is underperforming in sales.   

 

 

 Well how can you say the Xbox360 is underperforming? Without any spin here are the hard facts:

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 03rd Jan 2009 to 04th Apr 2009:

Console X360
America
1,332,713
Japan
147,531
Total Others
1,380,265

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 05th Jan 2008 to 05th Apr 2008:


Console X360
America
982,774
Japan
54,795
Total Others
869,656

 

So for the first 3 months:

The Xbox360 is up 35.60% YoY in America.
The Xbox360 is up 169.24% YoY in Japan.
The Xbox360 is up 58.71% YoY in Others.

Just if you are interested here are the YoY changes for the PS3:

For the first 3 months:

The PS3 is up 0.32% YoY in America.
The PS3 is up 3.29% YoY in Japan.
The PS3 is down 18.72% YoY in Others

The Xbox360 outsold the PS3 by 415230 units this year. This won't change till Sony drops the price of the PS3.

Talking about the predecessor, the Xbox360 already outsold the Xbox by 5 million units.

There is no way to spin that Sony is THE Loser this gen.

 

 Some people just love downplaying the 360,

while in the real world the 360 keeps getting more and more popular.

I think MS had bigger hopes when they cut the price of the 360 to $199.  They positioned it that they were going to take on the Wii.  Now they are crossing their fingers that they outsell the PS3 by 50k in March.  That's what I mean about under-performing.  

 



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

there is no loser this gen. just runner ups. for the first time ever there are 3 viable platfroms. this time last gen ps2 had 60-70% market share wii isnt even at 50% yet (unlesd it just got there) for the first time ever the 3rd place console will outsell every 2nd place console and has a chance at first place console.

 

No loser? You hear that SONY. Going from domination of first with tons of profit to last with tons of expenses isnt bad!!!

I think SONY had bigger hopes when they released the PS3. They positioned it to take over the PS2 as the best selling console ever. Now they are crossing their fingers that they atleast make it profitable. Thats I what mean about under-performing.

Great! Sony said the PS2 should battle the Wii now with the 99USD price-tag, but the Wii is still outselling the PS2. So the PS2 is underperforming.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
