They mean the month. Only reason PS3 is top is because of the slim. It will drop back down againNidget
idk if sales with drop. noticing in school ps3 is gaining major popularity as is uncharted 2. Odst has a bad rep for its price. Sadly most ppl this gen only care bout shooters so f3 hasent been noticed
well at this current pace ps3 will never catch wii , because wii is right on their tail in japan and us sales charts , ,
everytime wii was on top it was on top by at least 100 thousand or more more then its competitor even the 360 lol so ya even if ps3 were to stay at top barely , ,
by the time ps3 becomes first this gen would all be behind us , ,

Gee, in my school the cool kids all break PS3s because they say they are lame and then they play ODST until their controllers break, but then they buy more 360s and beer and keep going.The 360 is ahead by 8,000,000+ units. The PS3 didn't outsell the 360 by much. MS has nothing to worry about.I find it hillarious how obvious they make their being worried.

They dont care how much PS sells as long as 360 is selling. They only act like they care for publicity.I find it hillarious how obvious they make their being worried.

[QUOTE="8Tango"]The 360 is ahead by 8,000,000+ units. The PS3 didn't outsell the 360 by much. MS has nothing to worry about. Its a snowball effect. PS3 picks up sales = 3rd party support increases = more sales.I find it hillarious how obvious they make their being worried.

[QUOTE="8Tango"]The 360 is ahead by 8,000,000+ units. The PS3 didn't outsell the 360 by much. MS has nothing to worry about. When was being ahead in previous sales ever really a concern of a company of any size again? MS cares about the now, they already have money from previous sales it's come and it's gone into their wallets or much 360's. They are concerned about making less money right now. So yes MS does have something to worry about.I find it hillarious how obvious they make their being worried.

PS3 picks up sales = 3rd party support increases = more sales. How? The 360 has the highest attach ratio of games to consoles as it is. There's no way a developer is going to LEAVE Microsoft. Besides how would 3rd party support increase? The only difference right now between the two consoles is 1st party games.I find it hillarious how obvious they make their being worried.

So yes MS does have something to worry about. Do you know how the video game market works? Do you know what Microsoft's Quarterly earnings were for this last quarter? Microsoft makes money by selling developers the rights to publish titles on their console. That is DIRECTLY affected by install base. Also Microsoft is doing anything but making less money right now. Their quarterly earnings doubled between now and this time last year.I find it hillarious how obvious they make their being worried.

[QUOTE="8Tango"]Being ahead by 7.1 or so mil shows worry? Its not the fact that there ahead of Sony by a year and like 8 million units, its the fact that the PS3 is getting much closer in terms of potential sales and quality of games.I find it hillarious how obvious they make their being worried.

Riigghtt. I had forgotten your school dictated the console popularity and sales :roll: Anyways, MS is right. PS3 is gonna be 3rd where they belongI see PS3 and 360 sales being about even for quite a while in the upcoming year, which will lead to a healthy industry and a good time for us gamers.
They mean the month. Only reason PS3 is top is because of the slim. It will drop back down againNidgetBut by how much? The 360 probably isnt going to go back ahead of PS3 for monthly sales probably for a long time, if ever. People are buying the PS3's now because they are cheaper than before. I know PS3 that sales might go down after a little while, but I dont know what makes MS think that they will start selling more than the PS3 in the near time future.
People are acting like MS is addressing this statement specifically to System Wars (hence all the claims of MS insecurity). I think it's just something to reassure the stockholders who are probably the ones insecure.nervmeisterMicrosoft's stock actually went up at their last quarterly announcements, which was just a few days ago. I doubt either of those reasons is why Microsoft made this statement.

Possibly. Sony certainly isn't immune to this with their 120 FPS, 4D statements.mythrolNever said they aren't. Merely pointing out that both companies have been arrogant in the past, so sure, I could see Microsoft doing it now. arrogant? Youre just saying things that only sound like they make sense The PS3 hasnt even been in a place to be arrogant the way the the 360 has been.

Um... School is a terrible place to judge anything video game related. And regardless, ODST's sales dwarf Uncharted 2's by a ridiculous amount, so any "bad rep" you are seeing isn't doing squat.[QUOTE="BlackTragedy"]

same here :evil:
yeah its pretty annoying[QUOTE="Nonstop-Madness"][QUOTE="mythrol"] How? The 360 has the highest attach ratio of games to consoles as it is. There's no way a developer is going to LEAVE Microsoft. Besides how would 3rd party support increase? The only difference right now between the two consoles is 1st party games.delta3074Because outside of SW Console Exclusives actually mean something. People would buy a 360 for L4D, ME etc plus people buy multiplats on the 360 because 3rd party devs like the 360 more because there are more consumers and they buy more games. Once the PS3 starts constantly outselling the 360, devs will support the PS3 more hence possibly increasing 3rd party exclusive support. Increased support = more consumers buying your product.there's a slight flaw in what you are saying, there being more ps3's will not lower the cost to develope on the system which is one of the major concerns of 3rd party devs at the moment, the 360 will always be more appealing beacause it's cheaper to make games for it, meaning a higher return on there investment, also, with the ps3 more sales doesn't really equate to more software sales, it's attach rate is poor, and devs will be looking more at that figure, not how many ps3's have been sold
Actually the publishers should be looking at where there game can fit in the market. If they only look at attach rates, they are rather simple.
The PS3 is unstoppable as proven by the latest NPD. The 360 has been on a decline in sales and games ever since 2008 and it will only continue.

No it hasn't, its actually the only consistent system. The console on a constant decline since 08 was the PS3 ;)

Umm so i guess the fact that the 360 was the only console that had year over year increases in sales means nothing to you?
