It's Official, PS3 now in 2nd place

[QUOTE="GD1551"]

[QUOTE="BPoole96"]Do you not realize how many games on PS3 and 360 are sub-HD? Hell Black Ops on PS3 is almost 480p (960x544).mems_1224

But there are HD ones, and that's all that matters.

This is the HD generation, non HD consoles need not apply. That's a very sound argument.

So we measure generations by the game resolutions? What generation am I playing in if I play games in 2560x1440?

With the games coming out for PS3 in 2013, the sales will go up even further.

These are numbers from a tracking firm , there pretty much as accurate as it gets and hte last time they reported 70 million sold was in November, which means they were probably counting sales up till about September or October. Meaning they sold 7 miilion worldwide over the holiday season which sounds about right.

Xbox fanboys are going to damage control this and try to find "loopholes" so they can feel better about their system. I just don't understand why they care so much, who cares who sold more? It doesn't effect anyone's enjoyment of their system.

It obviously goes by console technical ability, PC's hardware evolves too often to factor it in.

Actuall that argument is the exact opposite of "sound". Basically the definition of grasping at straws.

[QUOTE="BPoole96"][QUOTE="GD1551"]

Nah it's definitely a 6th gen console, it's a gamecube in a new shell. This gen was dubbed the "HD" generation, hence any non HD consoles need not apply.

ShadowMoses900

But who really cares? I have played plenty of so called "sub HD" games and I can't tell the difference. They look great to me, I think people are just looking to nitpick over nothing to try and justify their purchase.

Apparently GD1331 cares because he is saying the Wii is not a 7th gen console because the games are not HD. Do you agree with that?

Nope, I wouldn't consider a new console on par with the SNES to be next gen, or even current gen. The logic is sound.

Nope it goes by when they're released. The 7th gen of consoles began when the 360 launched in 2005. Any console that releases around that time is in the 7th gen. Now that the Wii U launched, we are in the 8th gen, which the PS4 and 720 will be in as well. This isn't difficult stuff.

It's good to be first place again. SDC

Some might, I think they are just using it as SW "ownage" because you guys care so much about this to begin with. You enjoy your 360 (nothing wrong with that), how is it being in last place going to effect your enjoyment of it? It's not, that's why this stuff is just dumb.

I know but since this is SW im going to have to rub it in, the fact is sales at this point dont really matter for either system they really only matter for the first few years as the system that sells more will get 3rd party exclusives and all the support. Since the PS3 and 360 were so close the whole time that really wasnt an issue this generation but in the days of the PS2, GC and Xbox sales really did mean something because that was the main reason the PS2 was gettig all the great games. It was diffrent this gen becase eventhough the Wii sold so much it still had no 3rd party support due to its casual fanbase.
