I think it only sales poorly in Japan and I think we need to finally raise the level needed to start threads.

Another anti-360 thread from you, ins't that enough? Most of them could be put together.

Microsoft is much more popular here. Sony and Nintendo are more well known in Japan.

??? Hardly, it sells pretty well here. PS3 also sells well though, and the only system I'd describe as having 'amazing sales' here in the Wii, and that's not even true as of 2008.

the 360 is selling poorly now because PS3 was a better over all console, while the 360 was much better in the short run

The 360 sold poorly in Japan because the audience does not relate to the vast majority of games in it. Shooters and such are very niche games, and they are not enough to support the console overseas.

In the first largest market for the 360 & PS3 (US) it sold better than the PS3, the 2nd (UK) its ahead, 3rd (Japan) its behind, 4th Canada its ahead .... your point is? My you've been a busy little new/alt/bandoding account today (whichever is applicable) I agree with Chutebox wholeheartedly.

Why is this low level poster starting all these pro-PS3 threads without any factual information? Yes, the PS3 is doing better but the 360 is still popular in Europe where it seems to be going neck to neck in sales. Only in Japan does the 360 do really bad. I only own a PS3 and a Wii but I clearly still see that the 360 is still seling well.

Why is PS3 last in the World..?, Guess more people prefer the 360 over PS3.

Ultra_Combo

You're joking right? Everyone knows its the headstart, without it, 360 would be dead last. The headstart has been heavily chipped at and360 is consistently being outsold WW by PS3. 360 is soon to be the last place console. There's nothing wrong with being last place, as long as the games are good. Not every system has to be the best selling.:?

Nice rant doesn't change the fact the PS3 is still in last place.. It's funny cows have went from having 80 percent market share, now their clinging to the hope they can get to 2nd place LMAO. You didn;t think the Playstation brand would be on top forever did you ?

you are kidding, at one point the 360 was outselling the Ps3 2-1 here in the UK http://www.bit-tech.net/news/gaming/2008/10/01/ms-xbox-360-outselling-ps3-two-to-one/1 and in november last year it was outselling the Ps3 3-1 http://www.mcvuk.com/news/36642/Xbox-360-outselling-PS3-3-to-1

Nice rant? No one is ranting here except for you, and that won't change the fact that PS3 will have 2nd place. At least Sony had 1st place, a spot MS will never see. Also, last time I checked, the Wii wasn't competing directly with PS3 and 360.

He doesn't need one, the fact that 360 had a 9 million lead that shrunk to 4 million is proof enough.

You want to bring up the headstart? Didn't Sony have a GENERATION headstart on Microsoft? (ie. Microsoft's first console competed with Sony's second)

calm down at the end of the day ,nintendo wins ,and thats good , why you ask,

well that means the industry grows more

and face it ,360 and ps3 may have fancy graphics ok online service, ,,

but at the end of the day when the family comes to gether there is only one console that can please them

that is the wii

and with classics such as mariokart marioparty supermario bros zelda metroid sin and punishment

dk fzero wave race and more available on wii/vc

theres no way you gonna deny it

you cant

you dont haveany proof of wii not having core titles you dont have proof that wii is justfor kids

face itcome up with any excuse

cause right now

wii has sold 70million units plus why because it plays games

most people who buy ps3 have it for other uses same for 360 movies music internet online you name it ,360 ps3 does it ,,

but theres one thing it doesnt

is dedicated to pure awsome games

The Xbox Soon-to-be-3rd60 isn't doing better than PS3. If it was, the headstart lead would've grown, not shrunk. What will you have to say against PS3 when it outsells 360 soon?

I do not know what I will say but I will let you know in 10 years because at this rate that is how long it will take. Look how long the PS3 has been out and it is still 5 million behind :lol: going from 140+ million to dead last.

360 outsells PS3 in Canada and UK and it sells very well in the rest of Europe. Stop spreading misinformation.

That's not a FACT. If it's a fact, it doesn't explain why Sony and Microsoft are coming out with motion controls to directly compete with NINTENDO.

FACT.
