Unless you like to play Cooking Mama: Cook off: http://www.gamespot.com/wii/action/cookingmamacookoff/index.html Don't worry about the Wii. I'd rather have graphics and gameplay then graphics and a damn controller. I play for hours and hours on end the wii controller won't work when I'm on my bed playing on my 100" projector screen.

$600 ₤425 No games. No games that set it apart from the competition. What more do you need to know?

Do you understand the concept of supply & demand.

XBOX 360 = sold out 4 months after launch. Meaning they couldn't sell anymore because they didn't have the stock. With both instock the 360 >PS3 in terms of sales

PS3 = plenty of stock. High price, no games

The PS3 IS selling rather slowly so stop making stupid comparisons.

Well, it's got a slow start. The general population isn't fond of the high price tag from the get go. I wouldn't say "selling poorly", but it doesn't have the same boom as PS2 yet.

It's no surprise. The Wii is positioned at young kids, casual gamers, and new gamers. It has a "pick up and play" accessibility to it. And its priced to sell to that market. And the PS3 is selling better than the 360 did in its first four months EVEN WITHOUT LAUNCHING IN EUROPE. I've really been on SOny's side on all these forums, but I will say one thing. I wish that we didn't have to live with this PROMISE of games that will harness the power of the PS3. I wish that there was something NOW. But I guess MS's early launch sort of forced their hand. I think Sony probably could have gotten another year out of the PS2 if they weren't up against the 360.

you neglect to tell the fact that Microsoft had major manufacturing problems.....THATS why the 360 was sold out. not because of demand.

the 360 was sold out 4 months cuz of stupid stores taking down like 25-30 preorders and only getting 3 units in at a time while the ps3 role was reversed they took like 3-4 preorders at some stores and had like 20 units by the 2nd week of launch (here in the u.s. that is)

PS3 outsold the 360 over its first months, but it should be noted that the 360 was heavily supply contrained at thgis time and was sold out for its first four months on the market, while the PS3 is in abundance on store shelves :(

The PS3 is expensive, so don't bash on it because you can't afford it. 10 years from now the 360 will only be a memory and the PS3, like the PS2 did, will sill be going strong. The PS3 might be going slow right now, but do you seriously think the 360 will be able to keep up with the PS3 in the long run? The answer is NO!

360 was sitting on shelves in june of 06' and they had satisfied preorders in april of 06' so after they finally got out the demanding preorders, 360 was sitting on shelves as well

http://www.vgcharts.org/aconscomps.php?name1=PS3&name2=X360&type=2&align=0 See how the blue line is higher than the orange line? That means the console is selling faster. That means it got that high on teh chart in a SHORTER time. It's the cold hard facts. That's it. You can try to qualify it and say that "the 360 had supply problems" but that's all nonsense. Microsoft paid the price, and continues to pay the price, for rushing a shoddy console to the marketplace. Besides, whose to say that those 360's would have sold if they were on the shelves. Just because Sony learned their lesson after the PS2 launch doesn't mean that their sales are slow. They just learned that this time, they need to produce enough to go around.

It should also be noted that the xbox had no exciting games left when the 360 hit so people were desperate to get the next one. Desperate to play Kameo and PDZ i guess because they didn't have an a better option.The ps2/ps3 situation is completely different. Playstation fans don't have to get desperate at the moment withh all of the AAA/AA games that have released over the last few months.

You should probably run along to SW where you belong so I can own you there all day long and stop trolling the ps3 boards with the negativety of a blind hater.

Look at the chart......the PS3 sold 127k last month with many units on shelves.....the 360 sold 160k in Feb 06 AND it was sold out everywhere. Right now the PS3 has sold about 40k more overall (out of 1.1 million) than the 360 at the same point......a difference that wouldn't be there if Microsoft didn't have supply problems. Wait till next month. It's clear the PS3 is on a downward trend....127k is pathetic 4 months into a launch. The hype is dying and people just won't pay $600 for a PS3. Sony needs to do something fast, cause the PS3 collapse is happening.

no, the 360 was sold out because Microsoft had major problems getting the memory units from it's supplier. Microsoft made like 2 shipments of a handful of consoles from January to March.

dude - im a gamer at heart and i have to call total BS on what you just said.

i've bought all 3 current gen consoles and to be honest the excitement of launch + games was best with Wii, followed by 360, and PS3. 

360 did have a brief lull when we were waiting for Oblivion and Dead Rising, but christ -- the ps3 is dead in the water games wise, nothing is fun -- almost everything is multi-plat, and it costs more.

Why wouldn't it? The cell is not a GPu and the GPU is what matters most when it comes to graphics. I could have a quad core cpu in my PC and a 6800XT and it wouldn't get me better grphics.

Um, excuse me but what games came out for the PS3 in February? Uhhhh, none really. So fine, let's "wait until next month" when we see the effects of Motorstorm, virtua fighter 5, armored core 4 and oblivion. YOu act like its some great feat for the 360 to be outselling the PS3 right now when they have about five times as many games out. The fact is on a LEVEL playing field the PS3 is selling faster. You can't deny it. The charts are right there for you. And enough about the "supply problems" just because Sony learned their lesson from the PS2 launch doesn't mean that Microsoft gets a pass.

Right now the PS3 has sold about 40k more overall (out of 1.1 million) than the 360 at the same point......a difference that wouldn't be there if Microsoft didn't have supply problems. Wait till next month. It's clear the PS3 is on a downward trend....127k is pathetic 4 months into a launch. The hype is dying and people just won't pay $600 for a PS3. Sony needs to do something fast, cause the PS3 collapse is happening.ghaleon0721
Um, excuse me but what games came out for the PS3 in February? Uhhhh, none really. So fine, let's "wait until next month" when we see the effects of Motorstorm, virtua fighter 5, armored core 4 and oblivion. YOu act like its some great feat for the 360 to be outselling the PS3 right now when they have about five times as many games out. The fact is on a LEVEL playing field the PS3 is selling faster. You can't deny it. The charts are right there for you. And enough about the "supply problems" just because Sony learned their lesson from the PS2 launch doesn't mean that Microsoft gets a pass.

 

we can all deny it -- your using a totally flawed site to prove your point, doesn't matter that the fanbois in SW voted it the official source, it's still bunk.

 

just you wait until the stories start popping up about how pathetic the launch was -- then you can try to argue for the console.

[QUOTE="dustin-diamond"]PS3 outsold the 360 over its first months, but it should be noted that the 360 was heavily supply contrained at thgis time and was sold out for its first four months on the market, while the PS3 is in abundance on store shelves :(3picuri3

It should also be noted that the xbox had no exciting games left when the 360 hit so people were desperate to get the next one. Desperate to play Kameo and PDZ i guess because they didn't have an a better option.The ps2/ps3 situation is completely different. Playstation fans don't have to get desperate at the moment withh all of the AAA/AA games that have released over the last few months.

You should probably run along to SW where you belong so I can own you there all day long and stop trolling the ps3 boards with the negativety of a blind hater.

 

 

dude - im a gamer at heart and i have to call total BS on what you just said.

i've bought all 3 current gen consoles and to be honest the excitement of launch + games was best with Wii, followed by 360, and PS3.

360 did have a brief lull when we were waiting for Oblivion and Dead Rising, but christ -- the ps3 is dead in the water games wise, nothing is fun -- almost everything is multi-plat, and it costs more.

Dude , what is the rush for a ps3 when all of these games have just released around the time of the ps3 release . Okami , FFXII , Guitar Hero II , Socom , Rogue Galaxy , Burnout Dominater , God of War II , ect.

Believe me , if the ps2 didn't have all of those games , ps3 sales would be much higher than they are now.

 Your nothing is fun for the ps3 argument sucks too. Resistance and Motorstom are fun but the ps2s amazing quality is just overshadowing them a bit. People are well aware of tthose games and will be picking them up when they finally get a ps3 after the ps2.

wrong the 360 was not sold out, now it sold better than ps3 but it didn't sell out

If I remember right, the 360's supply problems existed right up into May 2006. It was impossible to find a 360 during February last year.

Anybody else notice this?

 TC go back to SW if you want to bash the PS3. But go ahead and use our forum when you've become mature enough to accept that the PS3 is what it is, and will only keep improving over the next couple of years.

So if vgcharts is wrong, do you propose a better source? OTherwise, shut up. You can't just point at something and say its wrong when you know NOTHING about it. NOR can you point out WHY its wrong. and on top of that, you can't point to ANYTHING else. So shut up

 

oooo - told me to shut up twice. big man. might have to pass this one on to the mods seeing you can't articulate your thoughts without lashing out at others.

 

i'll let you believe what you want to - i'm not going to lead you by the hand through the internets to show you what you should be perfectly capable of finding yourself. Â
