If the PS3 is the best console, why is it still in last place after six years?

Dawnguard

derptholomew

Due to lazy devs and exclusive MS deal. Has nothing to do with PS3, as IGN clearly showed. IGN are experts, they get paid to know their stuff, you do not. You are just internet troll fanboy cheeta man.

IGN knows what's what. The Lems have been owned. Which always happens. PS3 is the best system, even IGN agrees.

Prove it.

That is not proof. Bethesda didn't say it won't come to PS3, just that they are having issues with it because they are lazy devs. And there are other aspects like MS having exclusive deal with Bethesda.

It does suck for PS3 owners though, I am one and love Skyrim. But Dawnguard is not really that great like people pretend it is. It's decent but not amazing. I know because I played Dawnguard before and beat it's main quest, which was pretty short really. I liked the Werewolf perks though.

Sales only count if your console is in first place.

There is no best console this gen. MS has definately had their issues (RRoD), Sony has definately had their issues(PSN getting hacked, overly expensive at launch, and the initial drought of games early on), and Nintendo has had their issues(No online worth talking about, serious droughts, hit or miss controls, and lackluster exclusives outside of Galaxy series)

I don't want this to go over anybody's head or be too complicated, so I will use a language that everyone can easily understand. Out of the 50 responses, 49 of them came to this conclusion.

I have bought a Wii which is the one in first place.. and believe me it certainly doesn't feel like i've bought a winner. With a Ps3 and Pc combo you pretty much play all the good games there is. Ps3/360/ Pc have the same good games anyways.

It is the top selling console Worldwide this year, if you are going by sales then the Wii is the best console wich I think we all know that is far from the truth. Sales rarely have anything to do with quality.

Why idiots keep forgetting the PS3 was the last console coming out? Wasnt for the one year head start and the x360 would be the one in last place...

Also sales =/= quality or COD would be the best game ever released

because sales =/= quality

Would you rather have Filet Mignon from a five star resturaunt or have a crusty cheeseburger from McDonalds? 360 is the crusty cheezeburger from MacDonalds. Most people would rather have the Filet Mignon but they can't afford it and they live in the boondocks so they settle for whatever they can get.

Because the 360 had a huge headstart advantage to sell more consoles, if PS3 had that extra time it would be 2nd place

The only reason the 360 is ahead in sales is because it had a head start. The PS3 is the truly dominant console that provides the best gaming experience.

Take the total units sold and divide that by how many months that system has been out and you will see the 360 is the one in last place. The only reason it's total units sold is higher is because it got a year head start. But in reality, overall the PS3 has sold better. But this is SW and most don't like to look at the facts.AmazonTreeBoa

Lets not forget the re-buy's that the 360 has had in the last 6 years...... Which most likely counts for a good chunk of MS's total sales count for 360's. From almost everyone that I know that plays on 360 as their primary platform they all have at least bought one replacement. And a few are on their 2nd or 3rd which MS didn't cover the problem. 04dcarraher

Way too many factors to consider. Such as...
The pricing, The launch dates, The marketing, The core-audience, The buyers, The timing, The exclusives, The ratings, The reviews, The nostalgia, The demand, The innovation, The specifications... etc etc.

Just because a Ford sells more and cheaper than a Ferrari does'nt make the Ford better.
Simple logic.

In my opinion, I think its GOOD that PS3 is in 3rd place for sales as it still is shoving out better and bigger games than the 1st place for sales.

Lets ignore the RRoD rates from 2005-2009, lets ignore the E74 and E79 or other error rates,lets ignore the things that MS does not cover after the 1st or 3rd year, lets ignore impulse buying habits of many people that cant wait weeks to get their xbox repaired. The last time I sent a 360 off to be replaced the UPS store clerk there said he gets 40+ of them a week on average, if you think about it... that's awful, MS finally got a hold of the RRoD and e74 error rates when jasper chip released and the better with the Slim. But again from 2006-2009 MS's 360's sale percentages were increased by many re-buys... Also lets not forget that the 360 sales from 2011 vs 2012 dropped 40% overall, which tells you that between everyone that wants a 360 has one, and their recent console models are more reliable lasting longer without issue. Out of all the PS3 users that I know 98% of them still on their 1st one.

[QUOTE="04dcarraher"][QUOTE="Bruce_Benzing"] Yes and that accurately depicts the whole installed base of the 360. :roll: Evertyone that I know is on their 2nd or 3rd PS3. See I can play that same game too...derptholomew

lets also ignore the YLOD of the ps3 in which sony offers you to pay 200 dollars to get it fixed, atleast ms offers 3 year warranty and pays all shipping costs to fix rrod, sony basiclly forces you to rebuy the console, cows conviently ignore this fact. also in before ylod was less significant when all early models of both ps3 and 360 where built to break cause of the old chips and build

YLOD is a heck of alot smaller issue then the RRoD ever was, and lets not forget all the Error types and other hardware issues that MS does not cover after the 1st year and or 3rd year making someone pay MS $100-$150 to have it repaired. My household alone has seen three RRoD's, which two were covered by the 3 year RRoD while the last one was not covered, and latest one had an E79 error that is also not covered, Lets not forget that Slim model of the 360 does not have the same warranty as the older 360's with the 3 year RRoD and E74. after your 1st year is up your done unless you bought the extended warranty.
