I posted it because of the amount of 360 fanboys in the thread, gloating about PS360 numbers. Not because any of them said 360 was outselling PS2.
And as you replied to me, ill take it as you called me a "PS3 fanboy" which would be highly daft on your part... when i obviously game a whole lot on my 360.

 

 

I don't really see a whole lot of 360 fanboys gloating.  I just see some people trying to be realistic.  The fact of the matter is 360 is still outselling the ps3 there's nothing fanboy about that statement at all.  Just look at the numbers.

Look at the alligned launches chart...

That is what the thread is talking about...

true its been outselling the ps3 since end of 2008 now but now the weekly lead isnt big enough and can easily be irrelevant after sony cut the price. like how last year the ps3 was outselling the 360 allyear but it didnt mean shit in the end after the two 360 price cuts. the same thing can happen this year but it could be more devastating for microsoft if sony make the right moves.



@ Carl2291

and.....look at the big numbers at the top of the vgchartz home page. 8 million lead. No one cares about aligned launches or demographics or all this nonsense. At the end of the day the 360 is ahead. Period. Listen I love the ps3 as much as the next guy but arguing over this stuff is just nonsense.

The thread is about the aligned launches...

Maybe you will understand now that its bigger, and has some colour.

and my point is the same as psrock's was.  Why are regular members sitting here arguing over something this rediculous.  My whole point is its a stupid topic and I don't get why we still are seeing threads like this in 2009.  Its time to move on and talk about something else.

We understand that.... but the whole topic of the thread is a red herring... thats the point.

In which mythical universe can we achieve this time shift and have a truly fair comparison, none? Nobody knows what would have happend if a simultaneous launch had happened.

It really doesn't matter though if the comparison is fair or not.  The point remains that in as equal of time frames that we can give , the PS3 is clearly selling better than the 360 despite the 360 being 1/3 - 1/2 the price.   If the PS3 can keep this ratio up while still having a solid PS2 userbase in their pocket and lowering the PS3s price to reasonable levels in coming years,  they will start to clearly pull away.



Why does this matter? The 360 had a 5 million lead when the ps3 came out and now has a 8 million lead. There is no hope for the ps3 to beat the 360 while  this gen is relevent so this is just sad.

 



N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!

clealry pull away??? lol

when will they catch to even think about pulling away?

In terms of aligned launches?  PS3 already has pulled away.  Although they have the potential to clearly pull away in a big way as the PS3 is still 200$ away from mass market's favorite price point.
