[QUOTE="walkingdream"][QUOTE="mgs_freak91"] How is the PS3 not successful? =| It's selling heaps. Just because there not selling the most, only makes the Xbox 360 not successful as well. Or did you forget about the 3rd console in this "war"? 1stPlaceWinner
In comparison to the PS2 and PS1 it's a complete failure this gen, you cannot deny that. However compared with competition it's borderline failure.

Actually its selling close to the pace the PS1 did.

From the NA/AUS/EU release dates, the PS1 was at roughly 50 million by the 3 year mark. The PS3 isn't even close to pacing the PS1.

I prefer Kevin Butler commercials over the weird PS3 ads before him. I think we can all see which works better.

[QUOTE="mgs_freak91"][QUOTE="tmntPunchout"]

Then either way, the only success is the Wii right?

walkingdream

Exactly. Oh wait no Xbox 360 is a success compared to the Original Xbox, right walkingdream? Pitty that if any of the other competitors had a failure in the previous gen it would be easy for them to overcome it with their next console. Not really a success comparing a complete failure to a semi-failure (seeing as Xbox still isn't selling the most). Ooo. Inner fanboy. Nice.

What are you talking about? In comparison to last gen Xbox 360 has been a reasonable success, that's all i'm measure it on. I WAS NEVER COMPARING IT WITH THE WII PS3 OR 360, if you cannot see the PS3 is a massive fail (sales wise) compared with previous Gens then that's your problem.

What are you talking about? I agreed that PS3 is a failure compared to the PS2. It's also a failure compared to the lead in this gen. Xbox 360 is a failure to the lead in this gen as well. Yes - it's a success compared to the original Xbox, but no one cares about that because the Xbox 360 had low standards to overcome in the first place. It isn't like "Oh my god! Xbox 360 did better than Xbox!" more like "Awesome. It's better than the crap that came before". Because people expected the Xbox 360, at least reasonable people, to do better than the original Xbox. Microsoft learnt it's lesson. With that said. Both the Xbox 360 and the PS3 are failures this gen. They can't beat Wii sales. I still think that the PS3 can catch up to the Xbox 360 total sales wise though. Depends on what Microsoft comes out with that will help them increase the gap. I'm betting the next big thing - Reach. That will help them. MAYBE Gears of War 3.

That's the problem when you do an inmature, provocative marketing declaration like Greenburg's.

Your rival can come back with a very mature one and make you look bad.

Which is exactly what Sony did. Now they just need to get rid of that Kevin Butler guy.

No look by 4 years in PS1 was at 30 million, not unlike the PS3.

[QUOTE="Sp4rtan_3"]Sorry but thats the only reply sony can give when all there first party titles cant hold a candle to one of M$'s first parties.delta3074

Sony's first party games lineup makes MS's offerings look amateurish by comparison. There is a serious gap in quality there.

no they don't, if you had played both gears 2 and uncharted 2 you would know that UC2 looks better, but serious gap in quality? i don't think so mate, we are talking about EPIC and Remedy, not to mention bungie, reputable company's that consistantly put out great looking games with gameplay to match, are you trying to say they make amateurish games? i don't think so.

Uncharted 2 is a much better game than Gears of War 2 in just about every area. The Campaign is better paced and more varied, and the multiplayer didn't stink up the show when it launched and still is doing pretty damn well. It's a depressing thing to see when Naughty Dog who's never made an online multiplayer game can release a game with an exceptionally good campaign with a rock solid multiplayer meanwhile Epic with thier pedigree launched an unpolished/unbalanced mess.
