Apparently, it only matters when Playstations sell. (I'm curious as to why all SW rules are in favor of cows)

This just in: Threads about the PS3's 999% sales increase in the UK rise 999% in SW :o

The increase in sales is great and all, but without the actual numbers of units sold they don't really mean too much.

Soo true hopefully sony keeps selling lately they have been churning out alot of great exclusives. Same as microsoft they better kick it in gear as of lately the only games im Intrested in are Halo ODST and it seems like halo 3 With a few upgrades which sucks because 360 use to kick @ss with its exclusives. I am looking foward to getting the ballad of gay tony though

Without actual sales number the whole 999% increase is not only useless but hilarious. Lets say PS3 sold 1 console and then the sale increased by 999% guess what thats still practically nothing.

More sales? I don't consider sales important as GTA4 got the most sales in history but LBP won game of the year.

i suppose you dont consider games reviews important either considering GTA4 scored a 10, while lbp didnt

so then, what else is there to talk about in SW?

And lets face it, cows aren't the only ones who turn their backs on their arguments. Motion controls anyone?

Besides, not 'everyone' within the races turn their backs either.

so when someone post great news about the ps3 are selling, it's "cows now care about sales", but when it's done for the 360, it's "ownage time" right?:roll:

So in a year from now when the sales are back to normal can I say that sales went down 999% from the previous year or would I be considered a huge fanboy?

Plain simple fact, sales did matter, do matter, and will matter, regardless of what any fanboy says, and all fanboys sound like hypocrites when they try to say other fanboys are hypocrites, because the faulty logic they use works equally well both ways.

Let's be generous and say the 360 has a 7million unit lead. Assuming that this gen lasts 4 more years (which probably won't happen) that's 48 months. so 7,000,000 / 48 is almost 150k. So, the PS3 would have to outsell the 360 by 150,000 units every month for 4 years to just bridge the gap.

PS3 already lost.

true :lol:

Or it might have sold say 200k and now sold 999% 200k :s maybe just maybe, but to say it sold one and then sold 999% is stupid as it could have sold alot more and still have the 999%.

This must be wrong, UK favours the 360!

I said the 360 price drop wouldn't help stop the PS3 domination, there was a demand for the PS3 price drop and not so much for the 360. Just watch the sales climb going up to the holiday season. With great variety of exclusives this fall, PS3 is definitely going to be the best seller.

LOl @ bren128 calm down... i agree though Slims are selling like hotcakes But i Really Doubt it will last long i bet in a month or two sales with start to decrease by alot and if that happens i think its a shame because i just got my slim and honestly The thing is beasty. Killzone mgs4 Littlebigplanet > Gears and halo which were the only games i played on 360 and i thought gears and halo destroyed any game ps3 offered, boy was i wrong.jherbach1222

Well in a couple months it will be holiday season and most people got a 360 the past few years and or Wii so what else is there? Besides, like you said you are pretty impressed with some PS3 games and I don't think your the only one. I'm sure you probibly have friends over now wanting a PS3 right? It's only going to spread.
