JUST WAIT COWS!!! ALAN WAKE AND TOO HUMAN WILL DESTROY THE PS3!! RAWWWWWRRRRR!!
It's a bit early to celebrate cows, it's only 2 months in a row. But I have to admit, the PS3 is doing fantastic with absoultely none of its biggest franchises out, and up against MS and Nintendo who both have cheaper systems and nearly all their franchises out.
What's funny about this thread us TC and others spent a large amount of the last year and a half acting self righteous and telling everyone 'sales don't matter' or 'I don't care because I can't play sales.' Now watch as they dance in the streets because the PS3 is outselling the 360. In other words, they are just as bad, if not worse, then the people they condemn...DXGreat1_HGL
You can stereotype everyone and always win, but I'm gonna sit back and watch all my predictions come true -- oh, and be a complete jerk about it as well.

Didn't you get laughed at by Casey for saying that the PS3 would pass the 360 in world wide sales by the end of this year...? it seems like it might be possible now.
Yeah now all of a sudden it doesn't seem so far fetched. Go figure. :D
Don't worry. We will all laugh at Casey if the PS3 surpasses the 360 in worldwide sales. :P

I wouldn't say they are good for gamers, but for business people or people who just want a nice light laptop to do work on, they are great. And their TV and sound systems are also great. Trying to compare Sony, a reliable electronics giant, to MS, a company that has had numerous slaps on the wrist for breaking of legislations and public confidence is like comparing a samaritan to a convict...........

Actually no. The "laughing face" was more a "I cannot believe the PS3 is doing this well" laugh. I think 360 is better than PS3 in online, game selection, multiplatforms. PS3 doesn't even have their heavy-hitters out yet and it is beating 360 for the last 3 months by a significant margin? Makes no sense to me actually.

[QUOTE="SambaLele"][QUOTE="Mad_Rhetoric"]only 7 million to go;)sinseers
6 in fact.
And don't worry. If it managed to outsell the 360 by more than a million units in 2007 (when 360 had it's golden lineup, it'll hardly have any other such as good), with *no games*, now that the games are coming it'll outsell it even faster... that's only logical.
This is no personal dig at you sir but is the fact that the PS3 "managed to outsell the 360 by more than a million units in 2007 (when 360 had it's golden lineup, it'll hardly have any other such as good), with *no games*" supposed to be something to be proud about? I what other business do companies get rewarded with sales by releasing a product almost 2x the price of the competition, not even included one of the key components that they are marketing their product toward (I.E. No HDMI cable included for HD output from jump) and contain an undoubtedly weaker library of content in it's first year of release compared to it's competition?
So are people ok with a system having arguably the best current library of games being outsold by a system that promisies to deliver the best future library of games? So when does the future become the present? (Chicken or the Egg theory at work)
I don't own either of the 2 systems yet (306 or PS3 ....Price being the issue), but I have come to this realization recently. You wanna know who the BIG winner in this gen is going to be? I'll give you a clue. It most likely won't be Sony, MS or Nintendo. It will be those publishers who are smart enough to know that they can make a killing on all 3 systems as appossed to being bullheaded and just catering to one console. That's a win for them. Think I'm joking? Ask Activision, EA and Ubisoft. They are the TRUE winners if you ask me.
yes, i'm okay with it and i'll tell you why.....Sony has made some stupid moves this gen, like taking rumble out of the controllers, making the damn system so expensive and arrogantly assuming everyone was going to work a second job just to buy their system. But IMO, Sony has also been the most generous out of all three. They took the biggest loss for each console sold. They offer the cheapest and by no means worst online experience. Yes all three of them are businesses that are in it to make money, but the chances of Sony offering things for free or cheap, is greatly higher than that of the competition. It's amazing the things u could do with the allegiance of the psp and ps3. The 360 does have the best games now, but i can't bring myself to pay for gaming online, i don't care how much it is, it could be as little as 2c a day. And i will never buy any DLC, from both Sony and Microsoft. If we all give in to that, it's only going to start a trend......
Cut It out with "the Ps3 has no games" Lie, It's ridiculous by now that fanboys keep claiming that nonsense. I dont even have enough money to buy all the Ps3 games I want.AgentA-Mi6Then you better improve your panhandling skills...

And this fact gives you enjoyment?
It does, honestly.
Here's why:
A.) I own a 360, and never play it (yes i have all the "hit" games). Why? look at point B.
B.) I own a gaming PC, which really makes the 360 looks like a joke (i understand why people get 360s, but when you are already a PC gamer, there is no point)
C.) All of my favorite console game franchises have been on Sony and Nintendo systems, and this still holds true (although I plan to play alot of Ninja Gaiden)
D.) I'm glad to see that my favorite console maker is getting the sales it deserves for putting out such a nicely made system, and that it is suceeding without any of it's big franchise names and is doing so because people want its blu-ray player, the one thing everybody was dissing for the past year.
So yes, I feel good, and I think everyone should.
It seemed everyone would be more happy if Sony failed and dropped out (like everyone said it would last year).
But here we are...
Oh and I don't own a PS3, i See no point in getting one yet.
VGChartz numbers for EU/other terretories are way off sorry. PS3 sold 1005220 in US + Japan which is less then half the supposed total units. US + Japan make up 2/3 of the market easily. Thats still alot more the the 360 total (in US + Japan) but thats mostly because PS3 spiked in January in Japan and are now trending down, 269k in Jan, 69k in Feb, and 49k in march (minus last week). My prediction Sony outsells the 360 by 2-2.5 million over they year mostly because of Japan. Thats just a prediction dont bite me for it.

That's right the 360 only outsold the PS3 by over 500k in the US in Dec. Then they had a shortage in Jan and most likely early Feb. Yes the PS3 outsold the 360 for 2 whole months.....WOW VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh yeah lets not forget the PS3 ISN'T selling as a game system but more of a movie player. I would think cows would be upset at this because last time I checked it was SUPPOSED to play games 1st, not the other way around.

Yes. Faults against Sony so far have been superficial mild publicity problems. MS had a massive hardware scandal. They aren't going to be able to restore their reputation and credibility for a while.
The public are a fickle bunch.They forget pretty easily. See Sony's past crappy hardware...And look! It's all forgotten.The PSP, PS1 and PS2 have all had problems. And don't get me started on their PCs and craptops.

Wrong cow....Sony is NOT known for reliability. They are known for having "cool" looking products. The TV's look nice but break down very easily. The PSP, PS1 and PS2 all had hardware issues. Know what you talk about before you type something in a forum.
But the PS3 doesn't, and that's all that matters =)

AvIdGaMeR444
Well of course. Halo 3 was the peak of the mountain, it can't go up anymore than what Halo 3 achieved and unfortunately it just wasn't enough. Not only that, the game wasn't all that great compared to other less known titles for the 360. I also believe that the hype surrounding Halo 3 has overall hurt the 360 in general because it overshadowed many titles for the 360 that came out that nobody paid attention to.
Because of Halo 3, a lot of my friends wound't buy a 360 because they thought it was the only game worth getting.
[QUOTE="deebo_x"][QUOTE="TheDarkDisciple"]I like how the cows forget about the several factors for the slow 360 sales, but then they come up with excuses like the one year headstart crap. Shortages, RROD, lack of a big price drop, no Blu-ray (yet). The ps3 already has an advantage in each of those aspects. So like some cow's will say "the ps3 beat the 360 with no games", the 360 is still winning without all of the things i mentioned. Imagine when the 360 get all of its problems sorted out?
TheDarkDisciple
How can a headstart be a disadvantage for the 360, RROD hasn't stopped people like myself from buying one, and Microsoft not including a next gen format isn't anyones problem, but their own. You say once Microsoft gets their problems sorted out, what by including a blu-ray player in the 360? Or withhold stock for a year so they could match the time frame of the PS3? Or finally fixing the RROD issue which won't impact sales because their selling just as much 360s now as they have since launch.
i'm going to ignore your second paragraph because you said exactly what i was talking about in my first post. What makes you think everyone is like you? I know for a fact that there are lots of people out there waiting for the RROD fix. As much as i tell them it's really not that big of a deal, they still hear all of those exaggerrated news articles and think as if the 360 is completely unplayable. Whether that's the reason for the slow sales or the shortage issue, i would expect the 360 to be selling more now than they were at this time last year. Oh and if Blu-ray can benefit the ps3, what makes you think it can't benefit the 360?
Why do you keep saying the 360 should be selling more when its selling about the same early last year when not that many people were concerned about RROD. I didn't say anything about blu-ray not benefiting the 360 it surely would and give the ps3 a run for its money, but debating that is like saying what if the Dreamcast had a dvd player in it. That issue is mute.

Didn't you get laughed at by Casey for saying that the PS3 would pass the 360 in world wide sales by the end of this year...? it seems like it might be possible now.
I don't think it will quite happen... but it's not worthy of being laughed at. It will be close.
My prediction: PS3 sells 16 Million in 2008 WW. 360 sells 9 Million WW.
Why don't you think it will? The beginning of the year is always the slowest sales-wise, even so the PS3 still managed to almost outsell the 360 by a million without any big game launches. There's a lot of games coming out for the PS3 to push sales... in fact, there are more system sellers for the PS3 this year than the 360 does, also you have to factor in the steadily decreasing sales which are affecting the 360. The existing library for the 360 showed last year that it's not pushing systems... the console showed a decrease in sales of almost 20% in the entire year of 2007, even with those absurd sales during Halo 3's launch.
Good point.....now would you care to answer the question from my post above?

This is no personal dig at you sir but is the fact that the PS3 "managed to outsell the 360 by more than a million units in 2007 (when 360 had it's golden lineup, it'll hardly have any other such as good), with *no games*" supposed to be something to be proud about? I what other business do companies get rewarded with sales by releasing a product almost 2x the price of the competition, not even included one of the key components that they are marketing their product toward (I.E. No HDMI cable included for HD output from jump) and contain an undoubtedly weaker library of content in it's first year of release compared to it's competition?
So are people ok with a system having arguably the best current library of games being outsold by a system that promisies to deliver the best future library of games? So when does the future become the present? (Chicken or the Egg theory at work)
I don't own either of the 2 systems yet (306 or PS3 ....Price being the issue), but I have come to this realization recently. You wanna know who the BIG winner in this gen is going to be?

Think I'm joking? Ask Activision, EA and Ubisoft. They are the TRUE winners if you ask me.
I personally bought a 20GB PS3 when they launched. It cost me only 100 dollars more then the 360 and although the 360 had more games, its "quality" did not appeal to me. When I planned to enter this gen. I looked at what would be available in the present and also in the future. When I bought my 20GB PS3 I may have had to rock Resistance a little longer then i would have liked but overall my waiting wasnt long.
The current 360 games at the time just didnt appeal to me, and again quality and score is relative as we see when we go to gamerankings. I recall PDZ, Dead Rising, and Oblivion carrying the 360 till GEOW. I enjoyed many exclusive and multiplats since then and now in 2008 I have a huge amount of quality set franchises to look foward to.
This isnt even touching the fact that the PS3 satisfied both my video game and movie hobby. The PS3 looked bad in comparison because everyone expected (foolishly) all the top titles to release with the system but it didnt happen that way. Now after gaming with new solid franchises in 07 I get rewarded with the franchises I love in 08.
I feel the same way about the ps3. I've had it since launch and Resistance and Madden 07 were the only thing to keep me playing until Splinter Cell and FEAR came out. Overall this past year with the ps3 has been a blast and looking at this year it looks to be even better. Most ps3 owners have absolutely no problem with ps3 games. People act like multiplats don't matter, but if you only have one system multiplats are fine and good.
Alot of 360 fanboys are hypocrites forgetting they were the first ones playing the waiting game. The 360 didn't get a AAA exclusive worth playing(not counting PDZ) till GEOW a year after launch and the next AAA didn't come out til either Bioshock or Halo3. I know there are other honorable mentions in there, but how can you count games like Lost Planet, Dead Rising, Crackdown, and Prey(which I liked every single one them) and act like PS3 owners don't have any games to play even though Heavenly Sword, Motorstorm, Resistance, Uncharted, Ratchet, Folklore, and UT3(time exclusive) are all good games?
Alot of 360 fanboys are hypocrites and their dislike for the ps3 doesn't affect actual ps3 owners from enjoying their system. Just like PS3 fanboys didn't stop me from purchasing the 360 and enjoying all that it has to offer. There are ps3 fanboys that say the 360 has nothing, but shooters that may have been the case with the xbox, but the 360 is different in fact is the only console on the market with the most unique games.
The 360 is a fine sole console as well as the ps3 is. Anyone who has just one of those will be happy, but I've got both so I'm extremely happy.:D
[QUOTE="TheDarkDisciple"][QUOTE="deebo_x"][QUOTE="TheDarkDisciple"]I like how the cows forget about the several factors for the slow 360 sales, but then they come up with excuses like the one year headstart crap. Shortages, RROD, lack of a big price drop, no Blu-ray (yet). The ps3 already has an advantage in each of those aspects. So like some cow's will say "the ps3 beat the 360 with no games", the 360 is still winning without all of the things i mentioned. Imagine when the 360 get all of its problems sorted out?
deebo_x
How can a headstart be a disadvantage for the 360, RROD hasn't stopped people like myself from buying one, and Microsoft not including a next gen format isn't anyones problem, but their own. You say once Microsoft gets their problems sorted out, what by including a blu-ray player in the 360? Or withhold stock for a year so they could match the time frame of the PS3? Or finally fixing the RROD issue which won't impact sales because their selling just as much 360s now as they have since launch.
i'm going to ignore your second paragraph because you said exactly what i was talking about in my first post. What makes you think everyone is like you? I know for a fact that there are lots of people out there waiting for the RROD fix. As much as i tell them it's really not that big of a deal, they still hear all of those exaggerrated news articles and think as if the 360 is completely unplayable. Whether that's the reason for the slow sales or the shortage issue, i would expect the 360 to be selling more now than they were at this time last year. Oh and if Blu-ray can benefit the ps3, what makes you think it can't benefit the 360?
Why do you keep saying the 360 should be selling more when its selling about the same early last year when not that many people were concerned about RROD. I didn't say anything about blu-ray not benefiting the 360 it surely would and give the ps3 a run for its money, but debating that is like saying what if the Dreamcast had a dvd player in it. That issue is mute.

[QUOTE="dream431ca"]Halo 3 wasn't even siginificant. PS3 outsold the 360 in 2007, when Halo 3 was released.
Lionheart08
The month Halo 3 was released was the one month the Wii didn't come out on top. I wouldn't say it wasn't significant. I just didn't make as big as an impact as the hype foretold.
The month that Halo 3 was released was also the month that the Wii had some of its best sales in 2007. The month that Halo 3 was released was also the month that nothing worthy of note launched for the Wii. If anything, that sounds like ownage to 360 fans. Their flagship title, which at the same time caused an explosion in the media and was equivalent to a nuclear warhead in terms of advertising barely managed to scrape past the Wii.
Just thought I'd add that. :P
[QUOTE="HoldThePhone"][QUOTE="kingtito"][QUOTE="donwoogie"][QUOTE="heretrix"]The public are a fickle bunch.They forget pretty easily. See Sony's past crappy hardware...And look! It's all forgotten.
The PSP, PS1 and PS2 have all had problems. And don't get me started on their PCs and craptops.

Rofl, the Playstation's faults were within acceptable fault boundaries. Hell, MS only made a meal out of it when the rate went up to 13% in one year. And Sony equipment is reknowned for its reliability. That't why their TVs, Laptops and sound systems are so popular.
Wrong cow....Sony is NOT known for reliability. They are known for having "cool" looking products. The TV's look nice but break down very easily. The PSP, PS1 and PS2 all had hardware issues. Know what you talk about before you type something in a forum.
But the PS3 doesn't, and that's all that matters =)
So you didn't own a PS1 or PS2 then?
Wrong Lemming
I did. I owned both. And with a bit of research you realise that the only issue was the lasers which occured after extensive use. And I mean EXTENSIVE. Luckily with the PS1 which was more fragile, you just flipped them upside down and leave them for an few hours and they fix themselves. The PS2 was much more reliable. The fault rate on the PS2s pales in comparison to the Xbox 360's. As for the TVs, I don't think I've ever heard of this mass defect with all Sony Technology. I have, however, heard of this RROD occuring on many Xbox 360s,
[QUOTE="donwoogie"][QUOTE="clone01"][QUOTE="mustaf_nur89"][QUOTE="r_gam3"]fact: no one likes MS anymore.heretrix
indeed
do you honestly think sony is any better?
Yes. Faults against Sony so far have been superficial mild publicity problems. MS had a massive hardware scandal. They aren't going to be able to restore their reputation and credibility for a while.
The public are a fickle bunch.They forget pretty easily. See Sony's past crappy hardware...And look! It's all forgotten.The PSP, PS1 and PS2 have all had problems. And don't get me started on their PCs and craptops.
Every console has problems and I've had all the playstation consoles and I've got a 360, but the 360 takes the cake as the most unreliable console of all time. PS2 hardware failures don't compare to the 360's not even close. Just work at game store and you'll the see the horrors I've seen. You know there is a problem with hardware when the biggest gaming store Gamestop refuses to sell warranties even though they do for every other console.
[QUOTE="HoldThePhone"]lmao
JUST WAIT COWS!!! ALAN WAKE AND TOO HUMAN WILL DESTROY THE PS3!! RAWWWWWRRRRR!!
It's a bit early to celebrate cows, it's only 2 months in a row. But I have to admit, the PS3 is doing fantastic with absoultely none of its biggest franchises out, and up against MS and Nintendo who both have cheaper systems and nearly all their franchises out.
-Ninja_Dog-
Cheap Blu Ray player.
360 still out sells the Wii and PS3 in games sales and that what really matters.
Hasn't the Wii been outselling the 360 in terms of software sales since Christmas? :?
[QUOTE="donwoogie"]No. They are popular because they are pretty.And you pay a premium for that...PLEASE don't sit there and try and tell me their laptops are any good.

No your wrong I sell computers and tvs and Sony is well known for its quality laptops and television sets, which is why they are always the most expensive of them all. Thats common knowledge. You don't have to believe me just walk into an electronics store look at the prices and talk to a rep they'll tell you the same thing.
Even though Sony products are the most reliable doesn't mean that they don't fail I've seen Sony products fail, but the point is they fail the least.

I'd also like to add, I used to sell phones for a living and Sony phones are easily the most reliable in terms of hardware and OS.

So are the Sony TV's. I have a 46 inch XBR4 and I can truely say, it's the best TV I have ever owned.
Cut It out with "the Ps3 has no games" Lie, It's ridiculous by now that fanboys keep claiming that nonsense. I dont even have enough money to buy all the Ps3 games I want.AgentA-Mi6
I feel the same way there are about 10 games I want to play right now, but I'm in the middle Dark Sector and Army of Two yeah they are multiplats, but they're games, and if you only have a PS3 then there's no problem. Plus I'm sick of all the AAAe talk the last one for the 360 was Bioshock and even Mass Effect I've already beat thoses games over 5 months ago so what are 360 owners playing now?
