It's pretty clear the PS3 is losing.

[QUOTE="PoppaGamer"][QUOTE="nmaharg"] My facts > Your opinion. Again I didn't make the rules, I just follow them. FACT - By SW logic PS3 is last not only in sales, but games as well. nmaharg
I gave you facts. Wii is selling because it has the most widespread, casual appeal. Just like the PS2 did. FACT. The majority of 360's sales lead over the PS3 is due the year lead. And then the otehr portion is due to 360 being able to get to a lower price point sooner, which also has to do with the year lead. FACT. 360 has more games. But there is a TON of shovelware on that list. Not to mention, the strongest 360 years were the first couple. Games that are now 2 year old or older. You wanna tell me the early 360 titles didn't have an easier time getting better scores with no other competition? You wanna tell me how the 360 stacks up on titles for 2009 compared to the PS3? And, YOU ARE MAKING THE RULES. "Look at this list of games but ignore their age, when they were reviewed, their score, etc." "Look at these sales numbers but ignore when systems were released, ignore the price, and ignore whose buying them." "Just look at the numbers and forget about the context or the quality."

I'm making no rules. You're attempting to though.

All I am doing is asking to open your eyes to reality. Which appears to be too much for you. You sit and study sheets of figures and numbers (without any sort of context) and I will play great games on my PS3.

because people bring up the fact that the 360 has been out for a year longer then PS3 and the PS3 has had more AAAe's in the last year?

[QUOTE="nmaharg"][QUOTE="jonnyt61"][QUOTE="nmaharg"] And I did. Search for item 130310574463 on ebay. Still awaiting payment. Why I stated "I 'still' own my PS3".

Oh really. You know, it's really easy to find a PS3 that's sold on Ebay. It's not hard, at all.

Msg me. I'll reply asap. Twindagger is my ebay name.

Fair enough. You still don't own a PS3 anymore though, which was my original point :P

[QUOTE="MegajerkNYC"][QUOTE="jonnyt61"]

Oh... Really? I have a link here to a post that states you sold your PS3 two days ago. How on earth did you get it back?

Honestly, it's quite strange really, you constantly bash the PS3, and then you sell something you apparently own, then you bash it again, and claim you still own one...

Think you should just give up while you're ahead.

jonnyt61

PWNED!

Hehe, I'm a little curious why the TC hasn't come back to talk about that. It's really quite telling! :P

It's obvious PS3 has better games the last good game for 360 AAAE was Gears 2 and that was last year not to mention that's also going multiplat

PS3 already beat the 360 in AAAAE and AAAE and with games like ninja gaiden 2 going multiplat it's beating the AAE category

it's kinda sad to see 360's once mighty game library diminish

face it just this year alone PS3 got inFAMOUS and Killzone which is better than 360's entire library and the 360 still got the rrod, paying for online, flopping games.

I dont know how anyone can say cboc 360 is winning.

A rank games dont really matter. o_O; They're just "good." Average. 70%. A C grade.

That leaves us with a library that has 4 less AAs, and no AAAA.

Sorry, PS3 wins.

I still don't understand how people are saying PS3 is losing so bad in both sales and games. In games, it I think the PS3 has been picking up tons of momentum lately, especially with AAA exclusives like KZ2 and Infamous coming out in the last few months and another batch of what should be high quality exclusives coming toward the end of the year.

As for sales, the last numbers I saw (correct me if I'm wrong) were 22 million PS3's sold worldwide to 28 million 360s worldwide. If my math is right that breaks down to 7 million 360s per year and just over 7 million PS3s sold per year. So are we saying that because the PS3 hasn't caught up and passed the console that came out a year before it, it's losing? I mean, I know the Wii did it but it's got a much more affordable price point and I feel is marketed toward a different demographic than the PS3 and 360.

Don't get me wrong, I love both consoles. I bought a PS3 a four months ago but, luckily, I didn't have to make a choice between the PS3 and 360 (the Wii doesn't really do it for me) because my roommate has a 360. I love Gears and still think Halo is one of the best console franchises ever, but I think they're starting to get a little old and Microsoft isn't showing much else to take their place (Alan Wake looks awesome, but I'll probably play it on PC).

Sales are incomrapeable to a better console. A console might be hundreds of pounds but you get what you pay for. Given the reccession, some players like my friends I know myself wish they could get Playstation 3's but they just can't afford them.

Let's be honest, well in my opinion the Wii is the most friendly family console and that's what gives it sales along with it's price. The PS3 has better media and other stuff but the price tag is what lets it down.

The PS3 maybe losing but you cannot say it's the worst console because of its sales.

The PS3 is behind in sales... and will probably be for the rest of the gen. But it is not losing in games... about 2-3 weeks ago, there was an article written around the fact that the PS3 has the highest percentage of AAA titles & exclusives (they based the AAA designation on games with an average score of 86 or higher). And definitely in terms of exclusives... it's been pretty clear that the PS3 has been winning hands down for the past year or so. Still... as long as you own more than just a Wii, as a gamer, you really can't lose either way.

The wii is last, but the PS3 is really starting to slow in knew games. Other than god of war and uncharted 2, it doesnt have many good looking exclusives coming out.

No it is not. While sales are fact, games are a matter of opinion. I think the 360 has the best library, followed by the Wii and then PS3. But I am sure there are tons of people that disagree with me.

For me, the PS3 is first since it has some of the best looking (gameplay, not graphics) games out there. 360 isn't behind, it just offers a different experience.

The way I see it is ps3 has been staying afloat, matching yearly sales with xbox since its arrival a year after. Once that inevitable price drop comes, the ps3 will overtake the 360 in console sales in 2 years time. Or at least match it.

Hasn't the PS3 already had two "inevitable price drops"? What makes you think a third will have such a radically different outcome?

If the 3rd price cut brings it to $299, a consumer will probably see that as very acceptable price. It will help even more is Sony markets this new low price while actually gloating what it offers (great games, a blu-ray player, FREE online, built in wi-fi, and more) for only $299. The Xbox 360 would have to have a price cut to $200 to offset that. $250 won't cut it if a consumer wanted the regular version (not arcade) is choosing between this and the ps3, when the ps3 is only $50 more with extra features and free online.

You guys just don't get it! It's not how many AAAA, AAA, AA games a console has. It's all about the single A rank games! Wii has more, so i'ts better.

Oh and multiplats don't count, of course. :roll:

The way I see it is ps3 has been staying afloat, matching yearly sales with xbox since its arrival a year after. Once that inevitable price drop comes, the ps3 will overtake the 360 in console sales in 2 years time. Or at least match it.

Hasn't the PS3 already had two "inevitable price drops"? What makes you think a third will have such a radically different outcome?

If the 3rd price cut brings it to $299, a consumer will probably see that as very acceptable price. It will help even more is Sony markets this new low price while actually gloating what it offers (great games, a blu-ray player, FREE online, built in wi-fi, and more) for only $299. The Xbox 360 would have to have a price cut to $200 to offset that. $250 won't cut it if a consumer wanted the regular version (not arcade) is choosing between this and the ps3, when the ps3 is only $50 more with extra features and free online.

We'll see, but I'm much more pessimisitic on it's prospects. For one, the 360 will still be at $200 - a full $100 less than the PS3. For another, $300 has traditionally been too high a price point for mass market adoption. For a third, the Wii is garnering most of the casual purchases which has traditionally been Sony's bread and butter market (at least for those looking at the 120 million + userbase).

I just don't see PS3 sales shooting through the roof at that price point.

I agree. It seems the $2## price range is a sweet spot for console sales; Hence the Wii selling well at $249. Evidently MS feels the 360 isn't worth much priced at $199. Basically, it takes the 360 to be at $199 just to keep its sales up. That's pathetic if you ask me.

I thought the Nintendo Wii was in last when it came to critically acclaimed games?

Sales? Sure, actually hell yes.
Games? That's personal opinion so it really doesn't matter. If we want to play the silly SW game then it could be spun a majority of different ways.

I'm assuming the 60gig Xbox 360 model gets way more sales than the $199 arcade model though. Everyone I know with an Xbox 360 has a hard drive and plays on live. I haven't met one person with an arcade version.

I don't know about sales figures for each model, but I own an Arcade model.
