Don't forget to mention that the PS3 is also more expensive...and since this is SW, throw in the PS3 is garbage for complete measure.

The ps2 had a 100 plus million user base. Only 20 million of them r ignorantly loyal enough to pay 400 plus dollars for a game system in this amount of time. I'm sorry my friend, ur/ps3s 20 million milestone is still not impression. Its still sad n underachieving.a giant has fallen and it won't be out of last place in a long time, if ever. P.S. Halo Wars is the truth.

And apparently your school underachieved when it taught you grammar and spelling.

Anyway that's good for Sony but it doesn't really mean anything when 360 is still selling a lot, it more then likely won't catch up to 360 this gen, its still be a great console though. We'll see what happens with PS4 and see if Sony fixes their mistakes.

I dont know what you guys mean by sony already lost this generation everyone forgets that sony consoles life span is alot longer than the other compititors and you still forget that sony ps2 is still selling open you eyes and look at tha bar up there its ( PC, Xbox 360, Wii, PS3, PS2, PSP and DS ) there is no game cube or Xbox so stop looking at things by the way you want it to be.

Wow...this thread is filled with lems...it's like if anyone mentions something good about the PS3, xbox fanboys immediately jump in and start their flame-throwers... On another note, 30 million xbox owners were ignorant to buy a system with extremely faulty hardware...and considering the fact that the PS3 sold at a faster rate actually shows, despite the price, that it's doing well...

A strong brand name will do that for you. It sold 5million within the first 5-6mos on the market, but after the initial early adopters who paid 600, it was a sharp drop. everyone knows that the Playstation name is stronger than Xbox, so this is not really news, what IS news though is that it has not surpassed 360 yet, WTF?? if the Wii can do it, the PS3 shouldve done it. The one year head start means nothing because Dreamcast had almost a year headstart and PS2 beat ALL systems last gen. why is it different this gen?? why do people insist that the 1 year head start is responsible for sony's bad decisions?? THAT is why they are in 3rd, think about it, the PS3 is more well known, yet sony doesnt advertise it, games are GREAT, yet they dont advertise, used bluray when they couldve used DVD, or UMD, a disc that they already owned, but no, they wanted to win the format war. Bragging that the PS3 is beating a console with a smaller fanbase, brand name, and last gen loser, and it ONLY sold 20mil at this point is celebrating mediocrity. If it wasnt for sonys bad decisions, the PS3 would be where the wii is, and dont say price because that was sony's decision to put all that useless crap in there (Cell, Bluray)

Actually, I think the sale differences have always been pretty much constant during the beginning...it's not exactly bad decisions on Sony's part, it's probably the consumers choice to pick the "cheapest" console instead the all-in-one media machine.... The PS3 was ahead in sales for quite some time until the Xbox got a price cut, then it evened out...so the PS3 is catching up.

a strong brand name? excuse me? how many units did the gamecube sell? the dreamcast? the saturn? whyd psone outsell n64?

cmon....but you make logical points, sony needs to advertise A LOT more (probably a rumor but theyre supposed to be spending quite a bit of cash on a KZ2 ad campaign later this month)

100% agree sony is being lame its just like that they had enough with their blu-ray beating the HD DVD they should learn from MS look all the japanese games on Xbox 360 their US versions are released after 1 month at max while sony japanese games need 1 year to be translated ==; I mean cmon sony stop focusing on Japan only and try boosting your sales in US and Europe they are the biggest markets its a shame to see Star ocean 4 japanese version relaesed on 19/FEB and US version 24/FEB while PS3 best RPG White knight chronicles japanses version was released at 25/DEC/2008 and the US release date is still unknown ==;.

True they ps2 didnt sell 120 millions consoles in 2 years,

and guess if sony drop ps3 price a little it will overcome 360 easily specially 2009 seems to be a great year for ps3 at least in Japan only if sony didnt move its ass fast and started releasing US versions faster.

:| Your arguements are flawed, and almost backwards :|

how is it flawed?? Dreamcast - released first Xbox 360 - released first PS2 - passed every system PS3 - still in 3rd How is that flawed and backwards??

You act like the 360 is a meaningless piece of crap that -should- be beaten easily. It's not. It's a fairly capable console, with a decent library to back it up. The PS3 hasn't passed it yet, down to a number of reasons. Price, negative press, and as much as you'd like to ignore it, a year head start. The Wii passed the 360, not because of quality, not because of an interesting catalogue of games. It passed it through mass hysteria, an almost unstoppable level of attention at the time of it's release, and a very cheap launch price. It appeals to a completely different market than 360/PS3, one that is MUCH MUCH larger than the PS3/360 target audience. As much as you may think Bluray was a bad desicion, it's probably one of the best things Sony did for themselves as a company. They're firmly established themselves as the pioneer of HD Video adoption. As more and more people adopt HD TV and Bluray increases its catalogue, the more and more money Sony will make. Obviously, this will have an effect on PS3 sales, as well, simply put, why go for a stand alone player, when you can get a fully fledged games console with a player inside, for a little more? In my opinion, the -best- thing Sony could have done, is -wait- another year or two to release the PS3. If they had of done so, and included a much better GPU and refined the CPU better, not only would it have been cheaper, it would have been a much better games console than the 360.

how is it flawed?? Dreamcast - released first Xbox 360 - released first PS2 - passed every system PS3 - still in 3rd How is that flawed and backwards??

You act like the 360 is a meaningless piece of crap that -should- be beaten easily. It's not. It's a fairly capable console, with a decent library to back it up. The PS3 hasn't passed it yet, down to a number of reasons. Price, negative press, and as much as you'd like to ignore it, a year head start. The Wii passed the 360, not because of quality, not because of an interesting catalogue of games. It passed it through mass hysteria, an almost unstoppable level of attention at the time of it's release, and a very cheap launch price. It appeals to a completely different market than 360/PS3, one that is MUCH MUCH larger than the PS3/360 target audience. As much as you may think Bluray was a bad desicion, it's probably one of the best things Sony did for themselves as a company. They're firmly established themselves as the pioneer of HD Video adoption. As more and more people adopt HD TV and Bluray increases its catalogue, the more and more money Sony will make. Obviously, this will have an effect on PS3 sales, as well, simply put, why go for a stand alone player, when you can get a fully fledged games console with a player inside, for a little more? In my opinion, the -best- thing Sony could have done, is -wait- another year or two to release the PS3. If they had of done so, and included a much better GPU and refined the CPU better, not only would it have been cheaper, it would have been a much better games console than the 360.

I actually agree with everything you said lol, price, bluray, and bad press were all sony's fault right?? I mean lets be real, the ONLY reason Xbox 360 is doing so good is because of sony's bad decisions. All they had to do was release the exact same thing as the 360 and slap "Playstation 3" on it and it wouldve sold like hotcakes. Sony GAVE MS the hardcore, and GAVE Wii the casuals.

Because they only cared about blu-ray being adopted as the hd format. They would probably make more money from blu-ray sells, than video game software. Imagine if all the next gen consoles used blu-ray as a standard format, think of how much money sony would make from all the royalties.

Wait! from their individual releases the ps3 outsold the 360. When the 360 was on the market for an entire year without competition. With the ps3 at a higher price. And when ps3 has no games. And where name brand doesn't matter. My eyes have been opened. The ps3 is in last place. I guess a year head start doesn't matter. Time to get a 360. HAHA

The ps2 had a 100 plus million user base. Only 20 million of them r ignorantly loyal enough to pay 400 plus dollars for a game system in this amount of time. I'm sorry my friend, ur/ps3s 20 million milestone is still not impression. Its still sad n underachieving.a giant has fallen and it won't be out of last place in a long time, if ever. P.S. Halo Wars is the truth. tymeservesfate
Thats the definition of a FAIL.
