Check the 1st 90 weeks of sales for all 3 consoles. Congrats to Wii, though.

The 360 hasnt been selling all that well because of the bad economy, the sales will turn around also I personally could care less the Wii will win the sales anyway I'd rather have the best games AKA Xbox 360.

considering 360's lead has gone form 8-7 million at the start of 08 to 4-5 million at the half way point it's pretty easy to see ps3 will most likely overtake 360 in worldwide sales in early/mid 09

jesus dude, we get it, you like Sony.

I've been saying it since day one, fanbase alone will help the PS3 pass the 360 in sales.

last gen Sony sold 120 million and MS around 25.

do the math.

Sony knows this also, they said it themselves, that loyal fans will buy the PS3 even without games.

I'm sitting here watching my girl play Too Human, I'm happy to see her enjoy this game and can't wait to get two copies so we can co-op this game to death.

see what I'm doing here, enjoying myself and letting PS3 owners enjoy whatever makes them happy playing the PS3.

you don't see me posting up articles saying "girlfriends rather play 360 over PS3", if it was you, you would break your fingers just to put it up on this post as fast as possible.(well honestly, renegade would probably beat you to it)

its getting to a point that I feel sad for you, a grown man consistently trying to prove to other people why his toy is better.

Thats because they are hardcore gamers or Sony fanboys who would save up to buy gaming systems no matter what. I am talking about the masses and fact is that the PS3 is geared towards a wealthier market, its look, blu ray, etc. easily indicate this. Where as the 360 gamers come more from the low/medium income segments which are the most affected by thecurrent recession and high gas prices...

Exactly the Blu Ray attracts those wealthier consumers to buy a PS3 during the current recession wheras the 360 does not have such a direct feature that would cause the mass higher income consumer to purchase it.

I think there focus has been seen in action

Try to continue the flood of core games

Try to get more 3rd parties to forget exclusive content on PS3(FF 13 jumping on 360s ship)

and well what Microsoft does best.....spend money on other studios, exclusives, etc


I think they need Lips, and such to be successful.

They need the Rockband 2 exclusive timeframe to do some signifcant improvement

They need Japan to start noticing the 360

but above all

THEY NEED to start winning in Europe or closing the gap on Sony in Europe....THe bigger PC market there makes it tough on them....

BUT ABOVE ALL ELSE.....fix the hardware allready.

uhh... the recession didn't start 08 the US economy has steadly decreased over the past year however it talks awhile before the fed offically declares a recession. ever since the war in 9/11 and teh war in iraq the us economy has started to decrease at first it was slight and was attributed to the war in iraq however over teh past 2-3 years the economy has taken some pretty big hits and now the US is now offically in a recession. also considering the price difference between the 360 and the ps3 is only 50 dollars your logic that only teh rich an afford a ps3 is flawed

You should read up in the news most of the world is in an economic recesssion there is labor strikes in every major airline worldwide. Markets have dropped. The Euro has increased its value so rapidly that most European nations are facing masses of people that are unable to buy normal goods. I am European BTW.

I just name the U.S. since its the central point of world trade. When the U.S. economy is in a dowturn most of the world feels it...

or maybe they (average ppl) like what the ps3 offers. i mean they do have great 1st party exclusive, mgs4, and reliablity on their side. its not all about fanboys and the wealthy buying ps3. For example, i wanted to buy xbox but RROD kept me away from buying one cuz of fear.

The first talks of an upcoming recession came in September of 07 and it was dealt for the most part because of the failing real estate market. I am currently majoring in a degree in Econ so I know what I am talking about. And the $50 difference may not seem big but thats the whole point when the wealthier mass consumer that has the disposable income to buya gaming system currently goes into the store he will see a system that has Wifi and is able to play Blu Ray along with his HDTV and the other does not and is only $50 cheaper, the decision is simple as these people dont care much about games thats more of an extra feature.

Huh? When did the Fed declare a recession? They can't, actually, since a recession is defined as two straight quarters without economic growth. We grew in the first quarter of 08 by 1.1%. The average is around 2%. Why are you spewing nonsense?

It does however as I said the PS3 has certain features that also attract consumers of higher incomes and its only $50 more expensive. And it has affected the Wii look at the sales numbers from last year they have decreased even though the supply is much higher now, additionaly the Wii is a much cheaper system.

[QUOTE="Flexmaster_365"]The 360 hasnt been selling all that well because of the bad economy, the sales will turn around also I personally could care less the Wii will win the sales anyway I'd rather have the best games AKA Xbox 360.Flexmaster_365

and yet ps3 which is more expensive sells more.

Thats because its geared to the wealthier consumer (Bluray) that arent affected all that much by the economy.

what the hell are you talking about? i know about 7 ppl that own ps3 and none of them have a decent job

Thats because they are hardcore gamers or Sony fanboys who would save up to buy gaming systems no matter what. I am talking about the masses and fact is that the PS3 is geared towards a wealthier market, its look, blu ray, etc. easily indicate this. Where as the 360 gamers come more from the low/medium income segments which are the most affected by thecurrent recession and high gas prices...

by the way, i do believe xbox gamers are more hardcore than ps3 gamers. i mean, u guys have achievements, community, voice chat, video chat and you pay for online. now thats hardcore

[QUOTE="Ragashahs"]considering 360's lead has gone form 8-7 million at the start of 08 to 4-5 million at the half way point it's pretty easy to see ps3 will most likely overtake 360 in worldwide sales in early/mid 09Ragashahs

Not suprisingly thats when the U.S. recession started...

uhh... the recession didn't start 08 the US economy has steadly decreased over the past year however it talks awhile before the fed offically declares a recession. ever since the war in 9/11 and teh war in iraq the us economy has started to decrease at first it was slight and was attributed to the war in iraq however over teh past 2-3 years the economy has taken some pretty big hits and now the US is now offically in a recession. also considering the price difference between the 360 and the ps3 is only 50 dollars your logic that only teh rich an afford a ps3 is flawed

Mostly because its the cheapest blu ray player :|.

Yeah plus I forget to mention the fact that Bluray won the media war earlier this year so many of those consumers that were on the fence and that have a disposable income are obviously flocking the PS3 as is the best value.

Yeah but most hardcore 360 gamers allready purchased their 360's with Gears and Halo. Theres a lot of Sony fanboys which I can attest to that were waiting for MGS4 to be released before buying their PS3's.

The first talks of an upcoming recession came in September of 07 and it was dealt for the most part because of the failing real estate market. I am currently majoring in a degree in Econ so I know what I am talking about. And the $50 difference may not seem big but thats the whole point when the wealthier mass consumer that has the disposable income to buya gaming system currently goes into the store he will see a system that has Wifi and is able to play Blu Ray along with his HDTV and the other does not and is only $50 cheaper, the decision is simple as these people dont care much about games thats more of an extra feature.

yeah while you work in econ i work in reatil so i'm actually the one selling these things and let me say that the video game sales have gone through the roof despite the recession. and i'm not talking about just ps3 or hardware when i looked at our departments sales by each section we found every sections sales were either down or didn't have substantial growth all except for one and that would be video games. both software and hardware are selling better than normal and it's not that we're selling less 360's. our 360's sales have stayed the same for the most part when comparing 07 to 08 so far however ps3 sales have greatly gone up in that same time. the main reason it the blu ray player as you said however the reaction isn't the the ps3 also plays games but that the blu ray feature is an added bounus on top of great games. oh yeah my job is at walmart in the electronic department so we don't get many "wealthier mass consumers" there

Check the 1st 90 weeks of sales for all 3 consoles. Congrats to Wii, though.

jesus dude, we get it, you like Sony.

I've been saying it since day one, fanbase alone will help the PS3 pass the 360 in sales.

last gen Sony sold 120 million and MS around 25.

do the math.

Sony knows this also, they said it themselves, that loyal fans will buy the PS3 even without games.

I'm sitting here watching my girl play Too Human, I'm happy to see her enjoy this game and can't wait to get two copies so we can co-op this game to death.

see what I'm doing here, enjoying myself and letting PS3 owners enjoy whatever makes them happy playing the PS3.

you don't see me posting up articles saying "girlfriends rather play 360 over PS3", if it was you, you would break your fingers just to put it up on this post as fast as possible.

its getting to a point that I feel sad for you, a grown man consistently trying to prove to other people why his toy is better.

am watchin my gf play DMC right now, she sucks

well after telling my girl a million times what the buttons do, she is really kicking ass in too human! lol

You work at Walmart. :lol:

I just had to, lol

Nah you cant say that your local retailer represents the country as a whole, some places are more hard hit than other, while some areas are far more wealthy and always have been. The general mass consumer usually will go with whatever is the best value and the fact is Blu Ray offers the PS3 far more value esp with people that are not very interested in gaming. And you also have to remember that MGS4 was a huge title that caused an upswing in sales, much like a Gears 2 would do on the 360. And lastly now that that Sony won the format war it is obvious that the PS3 will benefit from higher sales esp in the short term.

Offtopic: You can't play Co-Op on the same disc?

I'm sorry, when I said I can't wait to get two copies, I meant on launch. I have two xbox's. My girlfriend loves the demo so much that she's getting her own copy.

Dont know much about economics do you?

You have to compare the period of those ps3 sales with the 360 sales at the same time, and they were roughly equal as you can see pretty clearly on the full chart.

In fact you can even tell pretty much when they synch up in the 360 life time just by comparing the 2 graphs. Although the ps3 has been selling slightly better than the 360 recently, so the curve is slightly more steep.

Well they sure like the hits they get when raging fanboys link to them to show some kind of "ownage". Even If the ps3 passed the 360 tomorrow you would still have the same amount of games and your bank account would not be any fatter as a result! This is sad.:lol:
