There is a shift happening and a welcome one at that. I got my 360 for all things multiplayer but Sony does make the killer single player games.

I favour the PS2 over Xbox 360 and PS3. It's plug in'n play gameplay, none of this 'trying to be a computer' crap.

Wait, how is the 360 and PS3 not "plug n play"? The option for computer-ish options is there, but you can ignore them if you want to.

My PS3 must go through many system updates per month, and the whole interface of both the consoles I find quite unnecessary.

Like I said, you can ignore all of that, and if you don't like the system updates just disconnect your ps3 from the net...

How could you possibly prefer the ps2 if you want to play online? It's online is a joke.

Furthermore, updates take about 10 minutes max (on the 360), about once every two months. That's hardly an inconvenience and its purpose is to streamline the online experience.

Nooo, I meant online on the PS3, PS2 online sucked. I just feel gaming has lost it's simplicity that I found appealing in the first place.

WTF man? You make some odd threads at times, but what gives with copying this atrocious chart? You are smarter than that.

Comparing Apr 07 thru Mar 08 vs Apr 06 thru Mar 07? WTF? Of course the yr on yr are going to be up huge...the damn thing didn't release till late '06.

I mean; it is not hard to crush the previous yr sales....when there weren't any for the first 7 months :)

This thread is epic fail and that source article is just garbage. PS3 has a lot going for it....it doesn't need worthless and meaningless charts like this.

Why don't you go back and play some other great exclusives instead of waiting around? BTW : This is a SLOW period for ALL CONSOLES, not just PS3.

im glad the Ps3 is picking up momentum, but really its suprising me that they are since they are doing very little advertising, purchasing big exclusives, and making sure they keep their current ones. I hope they can keep this up but id hate to see the PS3 in last place by a long shot. If it finished this race in last i wont care as long as its just trailing #2.

PS is that right about the worldwide sales of the ps3? a 44.6 million unit increase?

Bioshock, Ninja Gaiden 2, Gears of War had a good campaign, Mass Effect, Eternal Sonota, Viva Pinata, Lost Odyssey, Saints Row, Dead Rising, etc

Later this year

Fable 2
Tales of Vesperia
Banjo Nuts and Bolts
Viva Pinata Trouble in Paradise
Infinite Undiscoverey

and then for future releases
Alan Wake
Project Origin
Splintercell Conviction
Cry On
Halo Wars

I mean so far it hasn't just been multiplayer where the 360 spanks the PS3, its been single player as well.

You really need to stop gaming for awhile, and just chill out. The world is not your enemy and life is good.

If you can't get rid of all that anger, try focasing that HATE on something worthy, like World Hunger, War in the Middle East, or Cancer.

My goodness, you bring FANBOY to a whole new level with your posts.
