[QUOTE="wavebrid"][QUOTE="XTy"][QUOTE="KzerXtreme"][QUOTE="Baird-06"][QUOTE="XTy"]

[QUOTE="Baird-06"]So when Sony says that they sold an X amount of units, it means they actually sold that much, but when MS says that they sold an X amount of units, it means they shipped that much? I think I get it now! XTy

 

Actually, Sony Shiped ONE MILLION, and They Sold 600,000.

Nice try, fanboy.

 

600,000 launch PS3's = higher than launch Wii's and launch 360's in Europe. That's how it goes.

Criticizing one group of fanboy automatically make me a fanboy now? :? I was just making a simple observation since cows are always claiming that when MS says they sold, it means that they shipped because there is no way that we can really tell how many units are sold to consumers instead through retailers...

Don't worry about him he's a fakeboy account. I'm pretty sure it's SolidTY's.

Wrong, but thanks for the compliment.

Look at the facts. That's all that matters.

Oh no, it's ownage!... I know, lets not read his posts.

 

what facts a ps3 site not even worth looking at :roll:

and you going to admi they got a alt account

Your right, PS3 sites just as any sites suck.

Look at the facts.

Sony sold more in Europe at launch, 600,000, than Wii or 360 did at their Eurpean launch.

You don't need a site to show you that, the numbers are readily available. 

sony = lies over and over and over sony is know for lieing and im not going to go to a ps3 site in the name i wait for ign or gamespot.

and when did i ever say anything with wii or 360 please point that out to me oh smart one

Gotcha, fair enough.

I found out about this on GOOGLE NEWS, so if you want, lots of legitimate sites already recognized this.

I don't read fansites either, but its on a ton of NON gaming sites as news too.

No it isn't. Stop wishing.

Let's see. Sony launched the PS3 before the Wii and the Wii has sold more, so Wii has sold more in a shorter amount of time... ... ... how isn't Wii selling faster?

Well, when you stockpile PS3's for 5 months and make the public wait, it better be the fastest selling ever in Europe. If it had a global release in all 3 major continents, like the 360 and Wii, it would be very different. Regardless, they didn't even sell out! Too me, that is a failure. The 360 and Wii both sold out quickly. In this case, supply outweighed the demand, I suppose.

anybody remember how the 360 sold in Japan when it was released?

That's because they had enough in stock at launch, the Wii and 360 didn't.  It's a 1/2 full, 1/2 empty argument - they sold more than anyone else (because they had more to sell), but supply outweighed demand.

I don't think I believe it because they call it "The most expensive console to date". They can't get their facts straight, but if it is true, WICKED!!! I'm glad I got one.

Wii has sold faster the the PS3 in Japan and N. America, but it was beaten in the U.K.

And that's due to supply. Nintnedo went worldwide when they said they would and Sony didn't. In Eurpoe, Wii and 360 both sold out where as the PS3 didn't. And why? Because Sony had 4 months of Japanese and American rejection to bolster it's European launch numbers.

However, Wii has more than doubled PS3 sales and done it in a shorter period of time. Therefore the Wii has been selling faster. If the title of the thread had said "Fastest Selling Launch Console in Eurpoean History" there wouldn't be much to debate. But the title is VERY misleading hence people are correcting it... and others are trying to combat those who are correcting it.

It's the fastes selling console (in Europe). Not worldwide, but TC is obviously biased, that's why he didn't inorporate that little fact in his original statement.

Here's the link where the info came from.

1. It's only in the UK.

2. The PSP is actually the fastest selling video game system ever in the UK and we all know how that turned out.

 because they sold out... If they had the units, the wii would have probably sold more.

600,000 is already a lot.

[QUOTE="Kizzle28"][QUOTE="def_mode"]

[QUOTE="Hyper-Chicken"]:| Wii is the fastest selling console.def_mode

mainly because of its price.

So what? It still is the fastest selling. A console is a console, regardless of price.

Do you think Wii will sell like what it does now if its $600 bucks?

UMMMMM WHAT? Thats like saying how would a Plasma TV sell if it was 100,000. Its priced for what you get, no HD.
