End of gen sales results (sorry cows)

[QUOTE="lx_theo"][QUOTE="White_Dreams"] The gen is over?The_Game21x

Oh get out of here. Cows are saying it's over as of the Wii U's release so they can claim a win too.

The next gen has started. The PS3/360/Wii are "last gen" now. Facts are facts.

You guys are all supremely stupid for arguing over something so irrelevant and mentally-deficient. It's pretty easy: Next-gan starts when next MS and Sony systems are released. PS3 will have out-sold the 360 by then but both fall far short of the Wii. Fighting over second place is the dumbest thing. I'd rather read more posts from Saolin, that guy was pro.

How was that a big ass reply? It probably took you a minute of your time to read it. Its your fault if you felt that it was a waste or not. But I'm afraid that it is indeed you, not I, that have not understood what Wasdie meant, or at least what he POSTED. He said: "That alone is larger than gaming was 15 years ago." Basically, that statement is CLAIMING that the last place console of this generation (70 million units) is larger (larger in terms of sales) ALONE was bigger than ALL OF GAMING COMBINED 15 years. He is indicating that the last place of this gen, was bigger than the FIRST PLACE, SECOND PLACE and the LAST PLACE of the generation 15 years ago. Honestly, read his statement again. Maybe that's not what he meant, but that IS what his statement is inferring. Mozelleple112

It is a big ass reply.

I tell you what, why don't you ask him. Send him a message.

wow....this thread will be so sought out in archives when next quarterlies are released....almost worth the wait...Oh and what do pineapple-mozarella and eddie all have in common?? give up?...The combined IQ of a houseplant

I'll go by the 2 percent rule and the "not counting **** until we get real solid numbers" rule.

Oh and gens overlap like said above. A gen may have started but doesn't mean the last has ended at least in the tech world.

Certainly doesn't feel last gen, the future consoles arent even announced or out yet.

Not in North America, the PS3 is never outselling the 360. Sorry but the 360 is the best gaming console ever made. Multiplat games prove this since they are far superior on the 360.

That's nice.

The Wii U is technically a next-gen console so the others, by that same logic, are last gen now.

Does any of this even have a point? I keep saying this over and over. The Seventh Generation is not suddenly over just because of the Wii U. Microsoft and Sony are still supporting the Xbox 360 and PS3 and those two systems remain the main consoles of their respective generations.

Fanboys are arguing over who sold more and are in a rush to crown a leader. But I have to ask, why the rush? The generation is not over. The 360, PS3, and Wii are all still being sold on the market, and two of the systems will likely have an excellent holiday season.

Does it really matter who's in second or third place at this point? The numbers will change after the holidays and those two systems have at least another year to go.

Is this some system wars rule? How does it make any sense to start handing out trophies for a race that's not even finished. Hell, there's not even a clear market leader and a massive gap between the second and third place consoles this generation. At least the PS1 and PS2 had a massive lead that would have been nearly impossible to lose.

I'm not bashing anyone, but I'm just really confused. We still know nothing about the Xbox 720 and the PS4, and the seventh generation systems are still being supported as the main consoles of two companies. Why the rush to declare a winner when two systems are in a close race for second place, and the market leader has been slowing down in sales.

Try researching first, you avoid putting your foot in your mouth that way.

To be fair, you assumed this. In fact, you asked for written rules the last time I questioned it... Where are the written rules regarding your post?

I don't care who sells more, the PS3 is still my favorite system this gen.

I asked written rules for the metagame since you said it was a metagame rule. I said I was using common sense.kuraimen

So, I take it that your statement wasn not in reference to the metagame, that is played in System Wars in any way?

Not really the metagame is completely broken. But still if people want to use the metagame at least use established rules and don't change the rules for convenience.kuraimen

To what, exactly, are you referring?

Who changed the rules for convenience, and what is your evidence?

There's nothing that says the gen is over when the first next gen console releases. For me that's desperate lems grasping at straws to avoid counting the PS3's next year since the PS3 will surpass the 360 comfortably by then. They choose to renounce all trace of logic to turn that silly little game in their favor.kuraimen

However, there's nothing to say that the gen continues.

Naturally, it does outside of System Wars, but System Wars has never been one for acknowledging what happen in the real world (in terms of the Metagame). Hell look at the Metacritic thread being shot down...

PS3 isn't first place? What is this heresy? :x

I guess I'll just have to make due with my last place console now.

Poor old me, I'm suffering from all the quality exclusives Sony's throwing at my way :P. I'm drowning in a pool of games :o, I guess I'm not privilidged enough to swim in a pool of sales charts like you priviledged Wii and 360 folks ;).

Am I missing something? If I'm not mistaken, there are still games on their way to the current gen consoles, so why do I see "This gen is over/finished." messages?meconate

The Sega Genesis still has games being made for it (google Pier Solar). Obviously current generation.

I have all three so I guess that means I win then :P

It's amazing how hard people are taking this.

This gen may be technically over, but at this rate PS3 is still going to surpass 360 in the end.

Actual results:

1. Wii
2. PS3/360

Official numbers peg 70 million for both 360/PS3. Whilst reasonable to assume MS shipped 360s within that 6-week (odd) period, there are no numbers, thus no evidence.
