Microsoft: Xbox 360 outsold PS3 over weekend

[QUOTE="caligamer"][QUOTE="Pimpshigity21"]

 

Those consumers you mentioned where most likely home theater enthusiasts trying to squeeze every possible pixel out of their rigs at a reasonable price.

Phillips and Pioneer did not try to sell me a Blu-ray player by packaging it along with some other product. When I want to purchase a Blu-ray player, I'll buy a Blu-ray player. To be honest, if I do purchase one, it will probably be a PS3 since I'm a gamer.

Pimpshigity21

okay i know phillips and pioneer did not try to package with some other product but why would you be mad at sony when they kept the price the same as a standalone player? only recently has the price of standalone blu-ray players gone lower than the ps3. your mad at sony for throwing in gaming machine for free with the blu-ray, why would they be so nice?

and also a lot of products are packaging in blu-ray

sharp came out with a new tv that has a built in blu-ray player

some dell laptops and other computers have blu-ray drives

why are all these companies doing this?????

You can buy a Sharp TV that does not have the Blu-ray player.  When the 360 launched, you were able to buy the HDDVD player separately.

I just don't like how Sony tried to shove a new format up our nose.  They are always trying to do crap like that.  Some people claim that MS did the same with IE, the thing is, you could always install Netscape and ignore IE.  Right now I'm using Firefox and I am ignoring IE.  If MS forced me to use us IE or Word or any other MS product, I probably would be typing this on a Mac.

Linux is the only way to go :)

even in university first year calculus i sat beside a guy from russia who got 90s on ever test because he did it already in high school

Anyway, this makes complete sense. The base 360 model is half the price of the base PS3 model, and the 360 has a very similar library to that of the PS3.

im not saying NO americans are smart i clearly said the US has some of the top Universities in the world

all im saying is that the education is behind other countries

for example in china and india they do the same math we do in high school but years before we do

you clearly didnt understand my point i know every nation has bright people but some have more than others.

Some countries offer more incentives for students to do better. In Denmark and Finland, for instance, ninth and 10th grade are separated from 11th and 12th grade, encouraging students to do better and compete to get into the higher grades.

"I think it's ironic that the United States is the richest and most powerful country in the world and yet we can't even properly educate our own students," Baaske said. "Our priorities are in the wrong place."

hes one article i found http://kapio.kcc.hawaii.edu/upload/fullnews.php?id=52

3 to 1? Wow...that's alot :shock: And it isn't even christmas yet. Though I saw it coming, but not by that much.

Actuall its when PS3 price drops.

finalfantasy94

Umm no im not. IM saying replace pigs fly with price drop. I mean who didint see the arcade unit selling tons.200 bucks is cheaper you know.

Remember when Sony actually cared about gaming? Remember when the PlayStation brand meant something?

Why Sony, why?

you could of said sony was forcing blu-ray onto its customers when it first came out because there was a still the HD-DVD and blu-ray "war"

but now that it has won the format i dont see it as "shoving a format up our nose" i see it as an addition to the gaming machine

[QUOTE="finalfantasy94"][QUOTE="EuroMafia"] So you're saying pigs will fly by the time PS3 drops in price? Evolution should take millions of years for pigs to develop that, seems possible that PS3 could catch 360 in a couple million years.Pimpshigity21

Umm no im not. IM saying replace pigs fly with price drop. I mean who didint see the arcade unit selling tons.200 bucks is cheaper you know.

You know what I give it to you. THis must be hands down the least fanboy response you have ever given. Guess there is some non fanboy light in that fanboy darkness. Also to the new console comment I doubt it. I mean theres been tons of talk about this gen lasting a bit longer then usal. I dont see sony dropping it to 200 bucks. I think they gatta drop the price and give something els to attrac more people.

Sony wony wont win this war with a $400/$500 system compared to a $199 starting point from rivals

Yellow_Rose

What did you expect. 2 things account for the 3:1 ratio.

1. America is in a recession and cant afford quality products. Food stamps anyone.

2. It is the American way to buy crappy products I mean look at your cars. There is reason they are in the state they are. Just like the 360 if it is engineered in the USA then it will break down much sooner than later.

Country bashing on this forum = permaban

Don't believe me?  Look what happened to pseudocaesar 

When I was waiting at Bestbuy on black friday, the guy was passin out PS3 bundle tickets and I think 1 person took it, lol.-RocBoys9489-

Now thats funny.

I only reply to fanboys with fanboy rhetoric.   I don't hate PS3 owners...I hate cows spewing falsities.  Put yourself in the shoes of a Lemming...we bought our 360s at launch and we had to put up with cows laughing at us...telling us what a mistake that purchase was and how the PS3 and the Cell would wipe the floor with the 360....for a whole year.    Instead of being gracious, some cows continue to pound their chests as they warn us about how the PS3 will make a comeback and crush the MS console.  

LOL!

what you fail to realize is that the weekend meant black friday weekend and as far as i've heard THE XBOX360 was sold at $50 dollars at certain places.

and even so, SALES =/= profit.

OMG, 360 SELLS MORE WITH ITS LOW PRICED CONSOLE ON BLACK FRIDAY WEEKEND!! who wouldve known!!!!:o

whats the point of sales if your not making any profit??

MS is making a profit. 

[QUOTE="finalfantasy94"][QUOTE="Pimpshigity21"]I understand what you are saying. But see, the PS3 will not go down to $200...and that price is the magic number for consoles. Sony might drop the price in March, but I don't think it will have a big impact until the 09 holiday season...and who knows what the hell is going to be happening by then (will MS announce a new console? will it be too little too late for the PS3? will the 360 be the cool console to have by then? will PS3 sales suffer because of the cheaper Blu-ray players? will the world be in the middle of another great depression?)

You know its kind of hard to swallow that. I mean iv seen you say fanboyish stuff before a cow comes walking in a topic. Especially with the AHUGECAT topic incedent its just hard to belive that. To be honest making a fanboy response to another fanboy doesint make anyone look any better.

SO you let your anger or annoyance get the better of you and sink to a fanboys level. Trust me iv felt the same way,but I dont go spewing fanboyism.

Seriously, like whatever system you like but the country bashing based on complete nonsense doesn't support your opinion. Going to school with a couple bright international students leads you to conclude that Americans are STUPID? All 1.3 billion chinese are certified geniuses and Americans are STUPID? Did anyone appreciate the irony of comparing the Japanese made PS3 to the Allies defeating the Axis in World War 2? Lazy minded generalizations that appeal to your emotion rather than logic......the opposite of FTW. Yeah, I was talking to a Russian mail order bride last week who was bragging about evaluating matrix determinants and triple integrals in her head at age 10......yeah, she was really happy to come across the pond to marry a UPS truck driver.....that, and getting into MENSA. I probably overdid it on the sarcasm, but enough is enough with the America bashing nonsense. I'm as guilty as the next guy with posting stupid crap here, but it's usually due to being impaired by some potent liquid. Actually, this forum is retarded, and the fact that I have been moderated so much for posting retarded crap on a forum full of retarded crap that is overmoderated to the nth power.......my mind just blew up. I will probably get moderated for either making too much sense or going off topic here. Full circle, I own both systems. I like them both. If I had to drop down to one, it would be the 360. I personally like the library and online features more.joe_g_patton

Whoa there.  While I do agree that generalizations can only be taken so far, I don't think it'sAmerica bashing to claim that we're a country that glamorizes ignorance as something to aspire to in our popular culture.  As far as I know, we're the only country that elects its Presidents via an American Idol contest as well.

The beginning of the PS3s downfall begins this holiday season.Pimpshigity21

I like how they don't mention the Nintendo Wii at all. :roll:jakarai

yes 360 is truly dominantnaruto7777

no 360 isnt dominant that title would go to the Wii which has sold almost as much as PS3 and 360 combined

I thought we didn't play sales? jakarai

Even you have to admit this is not good at all for Sony.

Lems have predicted as many downfalls for the PS3 as cows have predicted years and games that will bring the PS3 to #1.

2008 will be the year for PS3!!!

Good times!!

Microsoft seems to be happy with second place. Why don't they stop trying to outsell sony and go after nintendo. Coming in second it a 3 man race ain't that great.craftieman05

[QUOTE="PrimusGears"][QUOTE="rybe1025"]Renegade I can not believe you say we do not play sales! YOu are the one that just posted sales from Italy not Europe sales but just Italy in hopes of some ownage. You like talking sales when the PS3 sold around 9k more then the 360 for a entire month but when its America's largest day in sales you do not want to talk sales?

When I was waiting at Bestbuy on black friday, the guy was passin out PS3 bundle tickets and I think 1 person took it, lol.-RocBoys9489-

I went to one about noon on BF and they had a big PS3 pyramid display and no 360 displays other than about 10 elites stacked together. I asked the salesdude where the Arcade models were and he pointed to a giant empty space behind the PS3 pyramid and said well up until about 10 am we had about 50 arcades stacked right there.
