This is one of Sony's major issues. Microsoft has cash cow divisions (aka office) that can support the rest while most of the Sony divisions are hurting.

Ask Kowenicki, he has a table/graph what has all the data you need.

1) It's pretty sad that you're talking about "launch-aligned." No one cares about "launch-aligned," we care about "who's kicking whose a**, and the answer is clearly the 360.

2) Japan is a console graveyard, a virtual nullity. If you can't carry it in your hand, it doesn't count.

3) Damn tootin'! It's letting it beat the Wii in the second biggest market in the world!

4) It is a phrase I say to the ladies often, but I'll leave my tremendous prowess out of this thread, my good man.

Wait, is Patcher gushing over Forza 3. >_>

GT5 isn't going to do well, because Turn 10 are arrogant?

Looks like somebody has no way to respond to the truth, so he's going ad hominem instead.. How sad...

And how do you 'improve me post'?

The ps3 still has a small chance for second place. If it doens't happen to turn before mid 2010. Not a bit, really big. Then it's over.

Look how Sony is pushing the psp (go). That probably means they have given up on it already.

1.You are just jealous that PS3 is beating your horrible excuse for an entertainment system in aligned. Use all the excuses you need, for i wont listen. The only thing the 360 is kicking is the bucket!

2.Japan = win because it has PS3 at 3Million and 360 at a pityful 1Million. You are just jealous (again) that your console isnt getting any ground!I mean, who cares if its doubled the Xbox sales, as we know what happened to that too! (It lost to the cripling blow that is Sony's determination and love of the game)

3. JAPAN = 2ND BIGGEST MARKET  maybe your 14000th rrod has blinded you and you cannot see this !

First I would like to say it isn't the original posters job to post articles or commentaries he does not necessarily agree with. He doesn't even have to be unbiased. He isn't a journalist, and he is not acting as one. He is posting on a debate forum so he should be posting material that argues his stance. Instead of bitching and playing the victim why not motivate yourself to go dig up a counter argument to match his own. Why should he do his job and your job. This griping does not invalidate his point.

Second I want to see evidence that this is not the case from those bitching or making wild claims. Not supposition, not what you feel, not what you want, not what the magical bunny living under your bed told you. If these claims are so wrong you must certainly have some kind of proof for this. To me the statements seem fairly obvious, and they are backed up with facts.

Third is anyone going to debate the facts. The PS3 has lost in global weekly sales according to this site for well over half a year now. In fact difference between the consoles grows every week. Follow the bread crumbs, and the conclusion is thoroughly logical. By the end of next year the PS3 will be fifteen to twenty million behind the 360.

Fourth does anyone think we are going to move beyond the PS3 will win once this happens crap is going to end this year or next year. Seriously it really has gotten old.

That's a joke post, right?

Seriously, it MUST be a joke post.

A market research firm called "Now That's Hardcore" that collects data primarily through internet message boards? Article riddled with links to vgchartz threads. That MUST be a joke. Right?

It's also kinda evil to open with Pachters name to give it some weight. Makes skimming the article kinda hard.

And there's no source for the article, so is it actually GebX who wrote it? And he's an outspoken anti-PS3 dude.

Must be a joke.

He really doesn't... His post history shows this! Anytime he appears on the forums it is always anti-PS3... It is getting tiring!
