You obviously haven't read the whole thing, which provides several external sources. Attemped pwn turns into self pwn.

How to say nothing in 1,000 words :)-D3MO-

hahaha ouch.

try 2000.

I love how all the cows are up on their feet and ready to rant as soon as they see someone else posting fan driblle on another site.

bahahaha. cows will take anything now adays. yikes, i thought cows were better than this. Now they are taking a bloggers word as "facts" and calling it an "excellent" post.

hahaha oh man. this is great. too much self ownage :]

*sigh* oh you cows...

granting that the 360 already sold 11million consoles after 2yrs of release while the ps3 sold 6 million in a year wiith no games and with a hefty price tag now i see the reason why microsoft should still be scared about the ps3 very scared....so what will happen after the ps3 receive good games and drop its price tag???? well we can really never tell the future let us just WAIT and see..OMG i just said wait...lol

o i forgot about the wii, what can i say about it 9 millionwiis in less than a year damn sony and MS is getting their ass kick

At the end of they day you've got to buy the system that A) has the games you want to play and B) your friends have so you can play with them and trade/share games.

Brand loyalty is madness. Microsoft and Sony are not your friends or family. You don't have to defend them or help them. Sony fanboys have been buying a system with no games for a year now - that is loyalty to the extreme. Some will see it as an investment but there is no evidence yet that any system selling software/games are coming out yet.

WHY DO YOU CARE IF YOUR CONSOLE SOLD MORE THAN ITS RIVAL. As long as it has been profitable enough to keep going and not do a dreamcast it doesn't matter if PS3 sells half the amount of the 360 or double. The PS3 dieing is what I don't agree with. Sony have a track record of bringing out formats that cost lots and then just died like Betamax, MiniDisc, UMD - I thought blu-ray was going to be next but it looks like it's here to stay. I hope for the sake of the fan boys the PS3 survives too - which it should - but for it to do better than it's rivals will take either a massive price drop or some amazing games or both at the way things stand it is the inferior system.

If your on the fence the only safe bet is a PC as you know that pretty much all the top titles are going to be on that platform and you have near full backwards compatibility.

While xbox360 and PS3 attack eachother Wii will keep getting the most sales and PC will continue to have the most gamers.

halo3 is awesome :Dlegol1

True, this raving fanboy isn't satisfied with his purchase of the PS3 so he's trying to justify it with this huge wall of text about irrelevant garbage.

I thought gaming systems were about games?

Sony - MicroSoft... Couldn't care less about them. Greedy companies doesn't get my vote. I bought a 360 to play games as RE5, Assassins, Dead Rising and such not express my love for a company.

*sigh*

All console makers release "shipped" numbers only. No console maker has any way of knowing how many consoles are actually sold, from retailers, and are in the hands of consumers. This is impossible to know for certain. All ANY company knows is how many they have shipped...they call it "sold" because these consoles have been SOLD to retailers.

This is not unique to MS. THis applies equally to all the console makers.

A few points

- Since when did Sony quote sold numbers, it has always been shipped.

- NPD don't get there numbers from Microsoft, they get there numbers from retailers.

- Wikipedia as a source? Realy?

- "reason why Sony is taken a very measured approach to price reductions." Slicing prices by $250 in Europe within 6 months is measured?

- did that really have to be so long?

Didn't sony say they sold 6 mil (Which they actually only shipped), when they only really sold 3.5?
