you must have not looked at the 360 and wii sells.

I did, and the Wii is next gen?

Welcome to 5 months ago.

I was there, they refurbished the Cube and added a remote. That's not next gen.

I was there too for the 360 and PS3, they refurbrished the xbox and ps2 and added better graphics. That's not next gen.


That doesn't even make sense. Adding better graphics means better hardware which is what all next gen consoles have been. Not outdated hardware w/ an improved controller and calling it "new gen".


... It's people like you that stagnate the industry. You need to be more tolerant of change. You're stuck in your habits.


Stagnate is releasing the same hardware and putting a bigger pricetag on it. It only costs $150 to produce the wii and when 360 came out it was losing a $100 on the premiums at $399, same with the PS3. Funny how nintendo is milking you sheep for inferior hardware.

It's not milking if you choose to buy it... milking is when you have to buy something to play a game, or get the most out of a game.

Oh, I thought that the 360 had inferior hardware? "You mean I actually have to pay for online?" "Why is nothing happening when I tilt the controller on its side?" Or what about the PS3 "It uses HOW MUCH power?", "What games are there for it?"

He was sarcastic, and if that message of yours isn't, it makes you look like a Sony supporter. -.-

Why there was no stock at all of 360 the first 3 months. The second half of the year is when it really started selling well in the US.

That's because of M$ propanda talking about how successful the 360 was, it was the bestest ever! All companies try to promote in some way, but gamer historians knew M$ Bull.

Still, the 360 is fun, I'd recommend it.

No; Since he was sarcastic and PS3 -isn't- the fastest selling console in history, and the DC was (or was close to it in its first months), they DON'T have much in common. Thus, when you say they have much in common, and they don't, and since the DC failed, you make it sound like the PS3 is a winner. ....Well it sounded logical a minute ago.

If people are going to try to draw conclusions from charts like that, they should do it while considering worldwide sales. For instance, by the time the PS2 came out in N.A., it had already sold about 3.3 million in Japan.

No, those numbers are NA only.  The PS2 passed 1.3 million in sales in Japan after one month.

those charts are subject to much interpretation. the 360's numbers would have been higher, had they not had production issues from Nov-April.

You can also say that MS could have avoided the whole Red Ring of Death fiasco if they didn't rush the console. If there were production issues, that is just MS wasting another opportunity. It's just like Nintendo having shortages of Wii and PS3 having production issues with their Blu-Ray diodes. Wasted opportunity that no one should cry about.

That earlier release is important. Same thing with the Ps2. They could have made a better system...but that earlier release is worth it sometimes

If you're trying to compare the 360 to the PS2, don't even try. The 360 is not selling as well as the PS2, and although there are many games for the console, they are about to lose their one year advantage sales advantage to another console in a few more months.

That doesn't even make sense. Adding better graphics means better hardware which is what all next gen consoles have been. Not outdated hardware w/ an improved controller and calling it "new gen". The Wii is just as much CURRENT gen as 360, and PS3. The only thing it doesn't have is great graphics (which seems like the only thing PS3 and 360 has over Xbox and PS3). Besides, the Wii has better hardware. Don't undermine the Wii, either way it is CURRENT gen.

Hardware does not define next gen. The is current gen and 6 months ago was next gen. Get over it.

People are really up in the air about Wii being 'next gen'.  Reggie even called it 'new gen'.  Most people don't jump into the next gen category with Wii unless it comes to sales, but then when you want to compare next gen graphics, sound, physics, power/memory and on-line people will come out saying you can't compare Wii to the other 2 because it aims at different demos.  Collectively make up your minds if you do take console sides.

Sorry but with he superior technology in not only graphics but physics, sound and a far better online infrastructure, 360/PS3 are next gen consoles.

"Stagnate is releasing the same hardware and putting a bigger pricetag on it." So I guess this statement you just made applies to the 360 Elite. It is the same hardware as lemmings say, and it has a bigger pricetag.
