ITT: A bunch of lemmings who think total sales are how products are measured against each other.

Hint: They aren't. MS saw that the ps3 has outsold them every since it launched, couldn't figure out why, and stopped trying to compete with Sony which is why they stopped making games.

[QUOTE="arkephonic"]

I'm the last person to care about sales when it comes to consoles and games, but I always see people use the argument saying that the Xbox 360 destroyed the PS3 in console sales. I don't think that sales are in any way, shape or form indicative of how good a game or console is. The increased interest that children and soccer moms have in gaming today has directly impacted the direction the industry is headed, resulting in a more prominent focus on developing games designed for children and soccer moms. This is why I find current sales to be even less indicative of quality or how good a game is, and whether or not it would be a game I would enjoy. Children and soccer moms are beginning to dominate in sheer numbers over traditional "core" gamers, and this is well represented in recent sales charts, where a game like Dance Central can sell more than twice as many copies as Mass Effect 3. Not only is Dance Central on a single platform, but it also requires an add-on peripheral that not everyone has, and yet it still dominates a game like Mass Effect 3 because it appeals to soccer moms and children, the dominant consumers in sheer numbers.

The fact that Microsoft chased the soccer mom / children pot of gold and made it their focus would lead me to believe that the Xbox 360 should be crushing the PS3 in console sales. The Sony PS3 focus is the older audience who prefer playing traditional "core" video games, and they're in the minority, which would lead me to believe that the Sony PS3 would be getting crushed in sales. Yeah, the traditional "core" video games may be my preference, and I may prefer them over motion controlled casual games that target soccer moms and children, but I understand that I am in the minority, and while I appreciate the fact that their focus is making the kinds of games that I like, it isn't where the pot of gold is located.

That said, I just want someone to explain this to me in detail, because I'm just not seeing it.

Quick facts:

• The Xbox 360 has sold 65.6 million units worldwide.

• The Xbox 360 launched on November 16th, 2005.

• The Xbox 360 has been on the market for 77 months / 6.42 years.

• The average Xbox 360 console sales per year has been 10.22 million consoles.

• The Playstation 3 has sold 62.9 million units worldwide.

• The Playstation 3 launched on November 17th, 2006.

• The Playstation 3 has been on the market for 65 months / 5.42 years.

• The average Playstation 3 console sales per year has been 11.61 million consoles.

So how exactly is the Xbox 360 crushing the PS3 in console sales? I mean, with the Kinect and the new found focus on soccer moms and children, you would think the Xbox 360 would be reaching Wii esque sales, but that's not the case at all. Even though Sony should be getting crushed by having a traditional "core" focus, I'm seeing a stronger sales chart on Sony's side compared to Microsoft.

Xplode_games

In america (the largest market) the 360 is crushing the PS3. In Japan the PS3 is crushing the 360. In Europe as a whole the PS3 is ahead of 360. Worldwide 360 is ahead.

The PS3 went after soccer moms too with the Move. Just because they fell on their face doesn't mean the intention wasn't there.

It's called Japan. Remove Japan from the equation and the add it all up. XBox 360 will never sell as well as the PS3 in Japan, but in Europe and US sales are pretty back equal through those months. Japan is pretty much Sony edge. That's really the only reason they are gaining any ground as well.

With people like you in the world, brand loyalty cannot be blown out of proportion.

You and your ilk are exactly the type of people who would buy a system on name alone. Then make forum threads about how its better than everything else for months on end.

I agree. People don't compare the total sales of the iPad 3 to the iPad 2, because they have been out for different periods of time. What people look at are sales trends to determine the popularity of the products. It's literally useless to use total sales as the determining factor of popularity when comparing 2 devices that released in different years.

TC is right.

That being said, if you want to use 'sales' as a measure of quality, then you're basically also saying that the 360 has better games, as their games sell more.

Wii is crushing them both. Wii wins this gen, but we all knew that after it's first year.
