Why do people want to see the PS3 pass the 360 so badly?

Because the PS3 is the underdog...

Who does everyone go for in the Super Bowl? The underdog.

What team did most people want to win the NCAA Football National Championship? Bama or Texas?

Texas, because they were the underdog.

PS3 is the UNDERDOG...lol..after being the dominant console the last 2 generations, and having the Sony brand...are you serious...I think you need to look up what underdog means.

The PS3 isn't the same thing as the PS1 and PS2..

Also the PS3 launching a year later and at a much  higher price... I'd call it an underdog.

Well then you don't know the definition of underdog.

 

The underdog this gen was the wii. There was a time when sony was the underdog... with the Ps1

LOL...using his logic...Windows 7 was the underdog before its launch.

Selling consoles at a loss is a part of business console model. You first lose money on consoles, then earns more on software and peripherals. MS does it, Sony does it. MS console is older, so Sony becomes profitable later, it's only logical. If your console doesn't sell enough, you lose bilions, like MS lost bilions on Xbox 1. Both Xbox 360 and PS3 are selling well and won't have this problem.

 

I don't understand this statement. If the Sony were to be just behind Microsoft in an exact sense they would have posted profitable yearly results starting two years ago. There is no logic in your statement.

It's never been that hard to boggle Hus's mind...

cheap price + gimick controls ?

so high price with gimmick controls is ok since Sony is releasing motion control with PS3? I thought we are moving past the gimmick control part since both MS and Sony are trying to get into it...



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

Except that nearly every analyst and fanboy picked the PS3 to win until after it launched and they realized people weren't going to spend $600 on it.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

For many people, being able to spend a few moments with family and friends playing a fun game is worth more than gold. That is a quality experience.

Wow, i never thought id see people arguing that the PS3 outselling the 360 weekly now and being this successful is "expected"

I guess i shouldnt be surprised but i guess part of me hoped people could use some logic.

I dont care about the PS2 or PS1......that whole landscape changed in november 2006. The PS3 WAS a disaster of monstrous proportions.....people downplaying what its able to do right now in its life cycle after the negative press, negative mindshare, negative everything are simply put, crazy.

People behave as if somebody stuck a gun at Sony's head to put out the msot expensive console ever...it was there own arrogance, not the fault of anybody else.

Good god, I can't get over how many people here want so badly for the PS3 to pass the 360.. They're not even that different from eachother so why all the hate? 360 still has the better games IMO, and is a better deal. The only thing it had going against it was the dreaded RROD, but the models nowadays are better built, and they fix it for free now anyway.


Yet here you are adding nothing to the topic but pure "360 is better than the PS3 because of said opinion". Keep on truckin´.

 

OT: I liked the sales numbers more pre-xmas. Bigger is better.

Just thought I'd balance the scale a little bit after about 89 Sony fans going on about how PS3 is overtaking the 360.


Actually the thread was clean and everyone was talking about the poor PSP sales up until disolitude or whatever came in and started derailing the thread in the 360 favor. And then you entered the stage. Good job.

Wait I'm confused. If disolitude already derailed the thread, what does it matter if I entered the stage?
