Forums - Sales - Why does the PS3 sell so bad?

Thank god I looked before I went prove this dude wrong happy. Since this is just a crap OP I will give you the basics.

-Only the Wii, PS1, and PS2 have ever sold faster than the PS3, I think it is selling pretty damn good.
-It is the only console to sell more than 10M untits after launching at $600.
-It is the only console to get to 22M units while being priced at $400.
-It is the highest selling 3rd place console of all time.
-In 2 1/2 years it has outsold the 6 years Gamecube was on the market, and is only 2 million behind the Xbox.

Now I can not predict the future, but PS3 seems to be breaking all kinds of records, and it has yet to even reach a mass market price point. It won't be to long before we see, PS3 pass every non Playstation console besides 360, and Wii. Even at that, it may see its way past 360, and find itself right on the heels of Wii. Its been breaking the rules all generation so far, and unless you see something crazy about to happen, I doubt it will stop.

 

And I thought the OP was bad...

Does the 360 sell good enough  as for the best system this gen with the best game library ever...

Sure, it beats it's twice as expensive competitor by 20k every week lol

Welcome onboard. You failed but keep it up. We need some x360 clowns too. I think you've just filled up the spot.
