They should've at least waited a month to say this, if only yesterday they were talking about how the PS3, in the most polite way I've seen actually, needs to cut the price..even though it's beating the 360 3:1 in Japan. If they consider the 360 as "doing well", then the PS3 must be doing fantastic and thus no need for Sony to cut the price lol

OT: Congrats to the 360...but we have known that it reached the one million milestone a while ago

That's a ridiculous statement.  Microsoft has improved their market share in Japan over last gen by a good bit, and has blown their market share from last gen out of the water in the rest of the world.  Sony has lost market share in every single region.

I think the PS3 comment is direct at Sony on a more global scale since MS is still kinda owning them in total sale by more than 8 million.

Here's the omitted part of the OP article's comment

The 360 is doing well in Japan (if you compare it to the original Xbox)

Yeah and you add in the fact that the X360 was more expensive than Xbox that makes it look  even better. Too bad we can't say the same about the comparison of sales in Japan with Ps2 and PS3. Before anyone tries to argue on this I want to clarify that I'm talking about this in terms of equal amount  of years out on market. Look at the 1st 4 years of X360 in Japan to Xbox and it's a clear winner but look at PS2 first 4 years compared to PS3's and they are complete shit. X360 and PS3 were both more expensive then their predecessor last gen as well. One is doing worse this gen and one is doing better.This last sentence is true in Europe and North America as well.



 How our favorite systems are just like humans and sometimes have issues finding their special someone...

Xbox 360 wants to Kinect &  PS3 wants to Move!  Why are both systems having such relationship problems?  The reason is they both become so infactuated with desire while watching the Wii as it waggles on by. They simply want what they can't have.

I think they're doing well also!



Everyone needs to play Lost Odyssey! Any opposition to this and I will have to just say, "If it's a fight you want, you got it!"

Gogogogo 360!

(My theory is that if I praise Xbox 360 successes enough and jeer at PS3 failures enough I will become a fulfilled and happy individual)


Seems reasonable to me.

 

      So, is that how xbox fans make themselves feel better about not supporting Sony this gen?  They praise every minor thing about 360 while quibbling about every minor shortcoming of the PS3 in order to actually convince themselves that 360 is better for gaming?

Damage Control much? I suppose its doing fine but it aint no Wii.

Where's my announcement for a new game comign to X360 from Tecmo Koei then? Quantum to X360 perhaps? How about showing us Project Progressive and Dead or Alive: Code Cronus for once.

Doubt that about Quantum. They stopped PC development specifically for this to be PS3 exclusive. Beyond that, the direction they're trying to take with that is trying to give Playstation 3 owners an answer to Gears of War.

Where did you find that out? I never knew it was even planned for PC. I still think it has a good chance of being a timed exclusive for PS3.
