PS3 is the best selling console of 2011

[QUOTE="hkymike"]PS3 is the better systemargetlam00

Thanks for the opinion buddy, but i prefer 360.

So do I :D I prefer paying for my online too. Oh, I also prefer how useless a 360 is to a PC gamer and how dreadful the games for it are.

Oh, another PS3 + PC vs 360 comment! Poor 360, it really cant compete against that combo :o

That doesn't count. We only count systems that were bought from GS users. Just like we only use GS scores here.:evil:

[QUOTE="argetlam00"]

[QUOTE="Miketheman83"] Um really? There are more people who purchased 360's, making PS3 fans 'the minority'. Unless you are saying the 360 sold more because people dont like it, which is not a strong case.Miketheman83

What makes you believe that a person who buys a 360 is still a fan of the system?

I've never at all stated PS3 has more fans. I just questioned your belief that 360 does.

[QUOTE="Miketheman83"] And your opinion is in the minority.Miketheman83

Really? Your evidence of that is?

[QUOTE="mems_1224"][QUOTE="I_am_a_PS3_FB"]

are you nuts!?!?

360 is the superior system BY FAR!

You get to pay 50$ for a feature the competition offers for free (THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT QUALITY)

You get unreliablle hardware

You get lame shooter exclusives

You get nothing new

You get gaudy lime green themes

You get A molten controller

You get a Controller thats very user friendly! (it uses torch batteries)

You get Superior Call of duty performance

You get Nothing much

You get Frustration

You get damn near everything bad, so whats to lose?? :P

I_am_a_PS3_FB

PSn >> Live (its free)

I wasnt talking about RROD I was talking about DROF

Yep your right there! they are great :)

I guess ..

I like green (its my fav colour as is evidenced by my avatar) but where does blue come in ?

Charge kit is 10$ which you have to buy, which is more expenses, you also have to buy new controllers when they melt which is more money.

CoD is the worst franchise ever, its evidence for the extremely high child birth rate in our world, More 12 year olds than anything and everybody knows 12 year olds = Cod player

Its old but so is your crappy console but you still play it right?

[QUOTE="e_stone001"]

People that say that Japan doesn't matter is wrong. Japan makes up a good sum of their market from games and by saying it doesn't matter is irrevelant. The PS3 has been struggling against the 360, but the reason why ppl say the 360 is better is because it's cheaper than the PS3. Well guess what folks, cheaper doesn't mean better. For example, if I had a choice to buy between a full course meal (PS3) and a tv dinner (360), most ppl would buy the tv dinner because it's cheaper, but once you eat that tv dinner, it tastes awful or possibly not cooked well by the manufacturers. What I'm saying is that the ppl that seem to care about the NPD and think the 360 is outselling everything is wrong, while the PS3 is outselling the 360 especially in Japan and most of Europe.

People do buy consoles they don't like. Look at all the people that bought the PS3 in 06. :P

[QUOTE="e_stone001"][QUOTE="mems_1224"] or it could be people have different opinions and some prefer the 360 and find it has more features that they like.....todd2r

I do, but if a system only suppports multiplats than bringing out exclusive games on their own than to me there's no point in playing that system. Not trolling by any means just stating my opinion.

It cant! Thats the whole point, X360 is the same as Microsft zune, just features and tall talk

i think we should wait until after the holiday season, everyone thought the ps3 had outsold the 360 last year but in reality the gap actually widened a little bit, the 360 always sells better at christmas, besides, these are estimated numbers, think we should wait for official figures from both companys.delta3074

Not a fan of estimated figures, would not be surprised if ps3 sold more though. Too bad the 360 already won this gen against the ps3; Sony took a big hit in market share.

xbox exclusives have been dying? LOL. Gears 3 probably just destroyed all PS3 exclusives this year in sales. Halo 3 and Reach have each sold more copies than any other PS3 exclusive. GT5 is a big seller, but then what do you expect when it was hyped before the PS3 even came out. some of the comments on here are just ridiculous.sts106mat

So he say something based on quality and you reply with sales of Gears 3..

It is clear that he is talking about quality,and you reply with sales wich don't prove quality at all.

[QUOTE="joel_c17"]have fun with halo 13 and gears 8. Same franchises getting milked. No new IPs = boring library foxhound_fox

Joke post Uncharted 1 was on development on the same time Gears 1 was,and both games took the idea from Killswitch,saying Uncharted is a copy of tomb raider and Gears is a joke get your facts right.

quality of games is subjective, its a dumb thing to argue in the first placemems_1224

Says you dude there are games that are bad to any one who play them,that why there are games that most reviewers will rate low,and just just 1 or 2 reviewers,you may say is subjective but there are games that can't be deny that they suck period.

But i was right he reply to a quality post with sales.

I might be buying one along with several games soon too. It just has too many good exclusives to ignore. The problem is I could spend $600 upgrading my computer, or $460 on a ps3 + a bunch of games. PS3 seems like it is the better deal at this point with all the console ports going to PC lately.

[QUOTE="incuensuocha"][QUOTE="Miketheman83"]If it werent for Japan the PS3 would be dead. How many of you are Japanese?Miketheman83

You not caring doesn't take away the fact that it counts come one don't be bitter,360 fans had been hyping 360 sales for ages,but when they see the PS3 ahead get mad,so the PS3 woudl probably beat the 360 this year by a cool million so what the 360 still ahead.

everyone is always talking exclusives. btw i'm playing bastion right now. how's that going over on the PSN?

[QUOTE="DerekLoffin"] As he said, that really isn't good evidence. Number one, we don't even have proof that there are more consumers with 360s than there are consumers with PS3. There a people who buy multiple consoles, replace broken down consoles, or buy the consoles for non-gaming reasons. Now if you had a huge lead, we could ignore these factor, but you don't. You also have the 360 having experience seriously bad reliability issues during it's early and mid life, warranty or no, increasing the likely number of replacement purchases. Two, even if the person does own the console, doesn't mean they prefer it, or view it as the better system. Just for example, let's say 10 mill own both PS3 and 360, but all of those 10 million could potentially prefer PS3. Really, in the end, in a race, we can't say from the sales numbers which is preferred by the general public. I think you can say US seem to prefer it, but the world as a whole not so much. delta3074

[QUOTE="todd2r"] You don't play multiplats? Shame. There's been some good onesmems_1224

Congrats to the PS3 once again and hope for even more games!

PS3 has the best TPS in the market, the best platformers, best JRPGs, biggest racing out there, tons of quality FPSs, the best open world/hero game and not counting the big multiplats and on top of that bluray and free online. what else is needed when owning a PS3? i say nothing

not even needed to own a 360 if you cant afford another system it has a one overrated alien FPS, rip off online ( $60 a year? are you kidding me? ), worst hardware out there, no JRPGs, no platformers, no exclusives and a boring TPS ( Uncharted >> Gears ).

Congrats to all tho and have a nice day :)

:? because360 only release 1 or 2 high quality exclusvies a year!

It's pretty simple to have high sales for a product if it's the only thing on the market for the consumer to chose from. That's not an accomplishment, that's rather pathetic.

Love or hate PS3's catelog of games, at leastSony puts out a wide variety of high quality games thru out theentire year; instead of tryingto release only 1 or 2quality games during holiday season to ensure sales when the year is almost over.

This has been MS strategy almost the entire gen; PS3 games sale, it just has more to offergamers for exclusives and has awider demographic of people so everyone burdened to buy the same game.

PS3 gamers have to buy a whole bunch of exclusives AND multiplats. Imagine that kuraimen
