What a scientific poll, statistically random sample, ... you re right it is on internet = america it is heavly biased toward the Xbox360 in reality, it may be something like 80% for the PS3, 20% for the 360 (not taking in count the wii) I hope you're not seriously suggesting that the internet as a whole favors the 360. I'm sorry, but that's just laughable. See my above response to Procrastinato for a fuller response. huh, actually I truly believe internet favor 360 just look at Halo3 overhyping (rating ...) by all the NA websit and it is not only internet favor 360, it is more internet is mainly ... USA that loves 360 !!!

Well, I think you're just plain wrong, but I guess that's your right.  There are plenty of games besides Halo 3 that people consider overrated; personally I wouldn't give Little Big Planet more than an 8.  You're just selectively seeing what you want to see.

LOL i have to take a chuckle @ the OP. U got some issues there, try not to let your dislike for American culture cloud your objectivity.

well, LBP was something overall new with big level editor
I m not sure there was anything new in Halo3 outside amazing sales, insane hyping, and a great MS marketing

but again, I m just saying internet is biased toward NA in the sense that more NA have access ot it, and since NA is biased toward 360, internet is biased toward 360. I mean we are in an english speaking website, lot of non english speaking people do not go on these site and guess what ? NA main language is english !!

and yes, I know, or I shut up because I dont have to say anything agaisnt NA (what is bad about the fact NA prefer 360 ? europe prefer PS3 ? what is the problem ?) or you attack me ...

hopefully, all american are not like this.

Surveys are awesome. I'd be curious to know how many of the people who voted for PS3 already own one.

At least this thread provided me with some amusement, "it is on internet = america" lol

a ps3 price cut would be really nice, it would lift the ps3 sales much higher, but still there would be no way it could pass 360 in total worldwide sales, the gap is too big and this gen is more than half done.

i m sorry but again :

most of the internet english related website (like Arstechnica) = amercia crowd = pro 360

My main point is surveys suck because of this reason, skewed sample. 

If we did the survey on this site i have a strong feeling we would get similar data because, at the moment, there seems to be a higher proportion of Sony fans on this site who will almost certainly vote for Sony out of loyalty even though they already own the system.  It's the nature of fanboys.

We could conversely argue that the data from Arstechnica is expected.  If the site is overrun with 360 fans as you say then of course they are going to vote for the PS3 as the system they would like to buy after a price drop, because many of them probably already own a 360. On a PS3 site we might expect the opposite.

Sony or 360 fans, the fact that they are avid gamers and already own a HD system means they are not representative of the general public anyway because they are probably more likely to buy multiple systems than Joe public.

In the end we don't know how to interpret the data and we can't attach any great meaning to it because the sample isn't random.

To me, those results still show 1 thing :

people on Arstechnica like the Sony Playstation Brand and a majority of them claim they are ready to buy a PS3 if the price is reduced.

 

Oh well too bad a ps3 price drop won't happen for a long time.

I commend your disbelief. It'll drop in price soon *cross fingers*

 

If not, you've been right the whole time!
