Does it really matter if PS3 outsells 360 this gen?

do also xbox360s produced to be a reaplacement for RRODed consoles in warranty count into overall consoles sales ?

YES..You have to figure in people like me that have bought 2 360s since launch because of the shotty hardware. AND you have to consider MS is counting more consoles sold from replacements and repares.

What people forget, and its been brought up by me and others in the past is....There would be no competition IF SONY and MS would have released their consoles at the same time with same prices. I think the sales would favor SONY quite a bit more. What I feel is funny about threads like this is, MS fanboys are bragging about being in 2nd place. SO now its ok to brag about 2nd? lol...

and when will this much predicted Wii sales massive drop begin? lol

Of course , it'd be nice to see the reaction of some arrogant lemmings :)

As long as it sells well enough for there to be another PlayStation, I don't care at all

Same here. I know Sony will get my business ASAP next gen as I have totally written off MS for next gen for the horrible hardware this gen Ive been though. I hope MS goes totally belly up and Sega makes another run. OR heck, even Apple.

Yes they do, just like all the "free" PS3's Sony was bundling with TVs not that long ago.

I know PS3 fanboys (not saying you are one) love to pull up the RRoD counting towards sales, but just think how many more 360s would have been sold in the first place if people didn't avoid buying the Xbox because of the RRoD. I'd be willing to bet it cost MS more sales than they gained by people buying replacement consoles.

On a personal note, I'm glad PS3's are finally selling well. More great games for me on all 3 systems.

Ofc it matters, games suck sales are FACTZ FOR LIFE"!!!11!!11!

Yes and no. It matters because it looks bad for MS when they release a year early, profit early, release a ton of software and they come in last place.

However, it also doesn't matter because even IF MS comes in last place, they have doubled their user base, made a nice profit, and Sony has lost a TON of market share from the PS1/PS2 days which makes Sony look bad.
