Anyone here a stockholder in Microsoft, Nintendo or Sony?

If not (which I would say 99.9% of us are NOT), then sales should not matter in regards to which system is better.

It's the games that count! :D

Besides, think of the PS3 as a Cadillac and the 360 a Toyota Echo; of course more people are going to buy the Echo (especially in these uber-dramatic economic times that we live in), but it doesn't mean that the Echo is a better car than the Cadillac - it's just easier to afford.

Just because their are more users does not make it better either; online, you would never notice the difference between 27m or 34m users because at max, online games support like what 64 players (until MAG drops) on consoles right now?

Like I said, it's the games that count - and this year, no one can even dare to deny what system provided the best content.

Enjoy! :p

The flaw with car analogies is that you make the PS3 to be vastly more expensive and superior when you compare it to a luxury car, when it clearly isn't.

360 multiplats outsell PS3 multiplats. Are you going to use a car analogy for that too?

Not unless owning and investing in their games and systems count. Scores and sales are just SW game weapons.

Sales is an aspect of gaming that we like to discuss here. Why are people so against letting us discuss it?

Agreed-- but when sales are used outside sales-related thread (for example, using popularity to overshadow a score, or using sales to stat game X is not good) is when sales become annoying.

It's usually lemmings who play sales this gen against high-scoring PS3 games since the scores cant be knocked down for flopping. Last gen I'm pretty sure it was the cows that did it.

Stockholder? Shoot, how many people on the forums actually know what a "stock" is?

If I were to say yes, what would happen?

This. Sales have nothing to do with how the games run. The only thing we could see sales affecting game-wise is whether or not the devs will keep support of and release DLC for a game. I wouldn't say I'm against the discussion, but sales really don't make a game.

LOL you are being way to kind comparing 360 with Toyota Echo,

360 is more like hundai or susuki since you can't drive them for more then 10 miles without them failing on you!

-If consoles don't sell good, developers won't support it. Ask the Gamecube what happened -If games don't sell good, they won't get sequels. Ask Okami what happenedPandaBear86

Uhhh, I would guess that Toyota sells more than Cadillacs, so the analogy still applies.

Sorry lem, try again.

sales talk when it comes to gaming is just annoying, I dont mind ship loads of graphic comparison cause you can actually play with the graphics but you cannot play salesjohnlennon28
