I notice a surge on xbox commercial and not many for ps3. I notice a growing support for microsoft, from the american consumer supporting the american console. I was curious to see wich is dominant in general. even if you own both which do you use more?

It is more to see which system is more the entertainment center in the american home. I dont care really care how many systems you own. Just a basic question the ps 3 or xbox360. Thats why there is not a both option. As for the wii we all know its financial succes.

I own all 3 home consoles, and a crappy PC that was top of the line 5 years ago.

Because I was a day 1 360 owner, I use my 360 for all multiplats as I generally like everything about the 360 (controller, online, xbla) more. I love my gamerscore, hope that carries over next gen. I do use my PS3 for it's exclusives and for playing a multiplat again that I really liked on 360.

Or maybe, Sony is sh*t at marketing and MS isn't. I bet you could survey the general population and most of them they couldn't tell you a damn thing about PS3, and just own a 360 because a friend does/it looked cool on the commercial.

Wow, you really make gamers sound pretty dumb. Like they couldn't look at both consoles and own whichever one they want, or do any research. Noooo they'd just by what's on TV cause it's "durrr cool" to do so. That's a pretty childish and stupid reason to say 360 is leading in sales.

PS3 now, 360 to begin the gen. Honestly, the PS3 doesn't get used much anymore. Haven't touched it since I started XIII-2 some months ago. Which reminds me, I should finish that one day...

I have a PS3. Two games are not enough to get me to purchase a 360 and that's all the 360 has to offer me.

I never said anything about gamers. I said general population. Guess what, most people aren't what would qualify as a 'gamer' to anyone on here. Most of the world is somewhere between 'Tetris with my iPhone on the bus' and 'CoD multiplayer with friends on weekends', if they play at all.

So you're saying that no one actually likes the 360 more than the PS3, they just own it because Microsoft is better at marketing? That is a) Giving your countrymen too little credit b) Giving Microsoft's marketing too much credit c) Giving the Xbox 360 too little credit Yes, Microsoft markets its product really well, and Sony fails at it. However, are you seriously implying that people don't actually like what the Xbox has to offer more than the PS3, and just go for it because 'they are dudebros who are marketed to?'

Your being too literal with my post. All I'm saying is a hell of a lot of those sales are a direct result of good marketing. -I am not saying that someone could not possibly come to the conclusion the 360 is the console for them if they researched their purchase. -I am not saying that nobody could possibly like what the 360 has to offer -I am saying the average consumer (read: casual) is a f*cking moron who probably isn't even really aware of what the alternative offers them, because Sony sucks at marketing. I'm Canadian BTW. Always found the "'MURICA!" Argument for the 360 to be ridiculous.

The 360 brainwashes people into paying to let them use their online service and can explode in your face due to its 60% RROD rate. It's also famous for having no games. We don't need such a dangerous device here and we like games so the 360 is a no no.

[QUOTE="darkspineslayer"][QUOTE="charizard1605"] So you're saying that no one actually likes the 360 more than the PS3, they just own it because Microsoft is better at marketing? That is a) Giving your countrymen too little credit b) Giving Microsoft's marketing too much credit c) Giving the Xbox 360 too little credit Yes, Microsoft markets its product really well, and Sony fails at it. However, are you seriously implying that people don't actually like what the Xbox has to offer more than the PS3, and just go for it because 'they are dudebros who are marketed to?'mems_1224
Your being too literal with my post. All I'm saying is a hell of a lot of those sales are a direct result of good marketing. -I am not saying that someone could not possibly come to the conclusion the 360 is the console for them if they researched their purchase. -I am not saying that nobody could possibly like what the 360 has to offer -I am saying the average consumer (read: casual) is a f*cking moron who probably isn't even really aware of what the alternative offers them, because Sony sucks at marketing. I'm Canadian BTW. Always found the "'MURICA!" Argument for the 360 to be ridiculous.

same thing could be said about the majority of ps3 sales. most people only bought it because playstation is a big name

I won't lie. I bought the PS3 because I assumed it was going to be as good as the PS1/PS2.

[QUOTE="darkspineslayer"][QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="darkspineslayer"] Or maybe, Sony is sh*t at marketing and MS isn't. I bet you could survey the general population and most of them they couldn't tell you a damn thing about PS3, and just own a 360 because a friend does/it looked cool on the commercial.

So you're saying that no one actually likes the 360 more than the PS3, they just own it because Microsoft is better at marketing?

I'm not even from the North American continent, so that entire 'patriotic American' angle doesn't even apply to me. And yes, Sony sucks at marketing. They really do. But that's their failing, isn't it? SCEA used to have some great marketing back in the PS2 days. F*ck, they managed to kill of the Dreamcast even before the PS2 released based solely on hype. What happened all of a sudden? That's Sony's fault. Microsoft is only smart for ramping up their advertising to market a good product that people are actually aware of. Unlike Sony, who might have a good product, but people aren't aware of it at all.

I own all consoles and a PC.

I regret buying the PS3 though.

Had both but sold the PS3 in August. Really wasn't enough reason to own both.

My point, Char. My point exactly. Sony could have some really good things on their hands of they advertised their goddamn gaming products like they used to.
