Umm, PS3 always wins online polls because their fanboys are so aggressive and prominent. This means nothing.

Relax, lilleblue. I'm just joking! (and it was a joke about you editing my quote, not about the thread. The thread is fine).

Interesting, so this poll just re-affirms that people want the PS3, but that it's currently to expensive for them, though are willing to pick one up when the price is right....same old same old to be honest.

I will say this though, if this poll is representative of people actually picking up a PS3 once the price cut hits along with the Slim....then yeah Its a given that the PS3 will start out selling the 360 on a weekly basis till the boost averages out, it's also probable that the PS3 could continue to out sell the 360 on a constant weekly basis....this will at least close the gap. It's also probable that the PS3 could in fact outsell the 360 install base...but I will let time sort those matters out and see what the end results are next financial year.

So in essence people want the most expensive product's price to drop the most. Well I'll be damned. You learn something new everday /sarcasm. I really wish some PS3 owners would play more games and post less threads that cause them to be reviled by the gaming community.


To bad, I dont have a PS3 ...

Also when you say : "reviled by the gaming community.", I dont understand why you hide yourself under "the gaming community".

I mean : no need to fear, assume your personnal comment, we are on internet, I m not gonna ass kick you in the real life if you attack me alone

That's the thing it's not just you alone. Threads like this reek of desperation. It's like watching a landslide election. The losing candidate usually resorts to tactics that are so bad you actually begin to feel sorry for them. Also, I find it ironic that I own a PS3 and you don't.

I wonder if amazon.com sales are not more biased that this internet poll ...

No, sorry. They're both self-selecting samples, but Amazon sales represent actual people who put their money where their mouths are. And nobody writes scripts designed to buy as many things from Amazon as possible.

Less people own a PS3 then any other system.

So wouldn't it be a REALLY bad sign if they didn't place first in this poll?

I mean this is going to be a site visited largely by people with systems right?

Note that the first question doesn't ask if you already own a system... just if you own all the ones your interested in.

it seems you are not able to read my post :

it's not that you focus on me or all the "bad" (according to you) thread makers

the problem is that you make it sounds that your opinion is the general opinion/consensus while it is not

you know when you use "the gaming community" ....

personally, when "The losing candidate usually resorts to tactics that are so bad" I "actually begin to feel sorry for them"

the more funny is how people (not only you) dont like this thread about this internet poll and, at the same time, find the result logical ......

So now, we are only allowed to post illogical/unexpected things ?

and, dont worry, I dont have a Xbox360 either  ;)
