[QUOTE="scorch-62"]Since when do you need a link to know that the 360 is selling better than the PS3?! That's a well-known fact!Thinker_145
Only in the US.Not worldwide or you can show me a link if you are so confident.

Fanboys need to stop using the whole year head start as an excuse. The 360's year head start didn't stop the Wii from catching up and surpassing the 360 did it? The PS3 isn't in last because of the head start, it's in last because it's too expensive and doesn't have a game library that can stand up to the competition.

The launch and first 9 month library of the 360 had more higher rated titles than the ps3. Use that.

How many times does VGChartz have to be proven inaccurate before fanboys stop linking that garbage? vgchartz was absolutely wrong when it predicted the PS3 was outselling the 360 in NA last month, it's been shown wrong many, many times before that. Stop using it, it's worthless.

The PS3 isn't in last because of the head start, it's in last because it's too expensive and doesn't have a game library that can stand up to the competition.myke2010

The Wii is in a whole different category than the other 2 systems, and also benefits from a "casual-friendly" price point which the others don't share (especially since the $280 360 Core isn't even being sold at some retailers like Best Buy anymore). For that reason, it's not quite on point to compare Wii sales to either of the other 2, regardless of the point being proven.

As to the 360's head start, it actually did help, quite a bit, because it gave the 360 a library far more comprehensive than that of the other 2, which will probably continue to be a balancing factor for MS. A large amount of the people who buy the Wii don't do so for the library; they buy it for the remote or the hype. Thus for the people who actually care about games (don't get me wrong; I'm playing the hell out of Metroid Prime 3 right now), the 360 is in many ways more attractive than the PS3 or Wii. Will the head start mean anything in 5 years? Hard to tell. But so far, it's given the 360 a lot of good games (Gears of War, Dead Rising, lately Bioshock, etc.), and strong 3rd party support. So I'd say that head start is a good thing. And given the fact that the PS3 has been out a year less than the 360, it's still the "newer" of the two, and more of a status piece, so I wouldn't be too impressed by stats that show it selling evenly to the 360.

VGchartz has the PS3 outselling the 360 in July. Then NPD came out and completely debunked that load of crap. There were numerous threads in SW talking about it, go look.

[QUOTE="Dr_Corndog"]I see your post, and I see nothing that changes the fact that the XBox 360 has a better library than the PS3.SolidSnake35
No, but he gives a reason for why that's the case, and it's not because the 360 is the better console.

Most people base their console preference on the games. Thus, better games = better console. Xbox 360 is the better console.

The Wii is in direct competition with the PS3 and 360. When a parent has a choice of next-gen systems to get their child for Christmas they will see the PS3, 360 and Wii side by side on the shelves. When that parent picks up one system (regardless of their reasons) that's one less consumer left to purchase the other two systems. Just because hard core gamers don't consider the Wii equal to the PS3 or 360 doesn't mean that's true in the market place.

Obviously it's in direct competition. I also don't consider the Wii inferior to the other 2 systems. However, for the purposes of this argument, the Wii doesn't matter, because the issue was whether the 360's 1 year lead mattered in terms of PS3 sales. The fact that the Wii overtook the 360 has nothing to do with whether the PS3 will, because the Wii is a different beast. Do you see the PS3 selling out constantly like the Wii? No. Is it nearly as cheap? No. The PS3 is competing along the same lines as the 360 (HD multimedia gaming), whereas the Wii is competing by thinking outside said box. Basically what I'm trying to say is, the 360 and PS3 are in direct competition for who will be the top HD console of this generation. It remains to be seen whether that console will also eventually come out on top overall.

"Parents" are not the 360 and PS3s target audience. The vast majority of 360 and PS3 owners are 18+. Most adults make thier console buying desicions on which has the games they like, not the price. Don't get me wrong. The price has helped the Wii tremendously. But if MS and Sony wanted to go comepete against Nintendo they wouldn't have made thier consoles that much more expense. The fact is that MS and Sony doesn't care about the people who wants a welfare console which is Nintendo's target demographic.

Sorry, but parents buying consoles for their kids make up a huge chunk of the market and if you think MS and Sony don't care about them you are delusional. How many times have you seen threads crying about all the onine 13 year old brats ruining their XBL gaming experience. Last I checked child labor laws prohibit 13 year olds from getting jobs so who do you think bought there console? As for why did MS and Sony make their consoles so expensive if they wanted to compete with Nintendo? I'd think the answer was obvious, based on Nintendo's performance for the past 2 generations they were no longer viewed as a serious contender.

NPD is a business that has done business estimations like this for years for many different markets and has been proven accurate. That's why corporations pay big bucks to get their numbers, because they have repeatedly proven them to be reliable for decades. To compare their accuracy to that of VGChartz is laughable.

In conclusion, you can't get over the fact that ps2=/=ps3 and that the 360 has better games than the ps3. You belong in the sony defense force.

That's one conclusion. Although from yours one can draw another. How about the 'conclusion' that Sony are having to rely on old hardware to float their gaming side of the business.

According to you games can't be compared across a time span (which should prove interesting when the future scores of Halo 3 and MGS4 or any other obvious titles get compared, I expect to hear the same argument from you). Standards change you say, so why don't they across generation?

Funny, I've seen you contredict yourself, ignore certain arguments, make up statistics, and go off on rants that disregard all logic.

And you still havn't answered: Can't I buy a 360 for $350, a PS2 for $120, and still be much cheaper than a PS3?

I would like to see how the M$ fans feel when M$ releases a completely different console within the next year and drop the 360 along with the 360 games.

Sony has raised the standards far past the 360 when it released the PS3 with all the latest hardware specifications. Now the only way M$ will be able to compete is release a console with Blu-Ray in the very very near future or they will be lose this time as well. People have yet to see that M$ is nothing more than a updated XBOX to compete against the PS2 and not a next generation console by a long way.

you think ms can design, develop, and produce a console in less than 1 year? a whole console in less than 1/3 of the time that it takes just to make a game on the ps3? not even i, a lemming, think ms are that good. they pwn all the rights to the 360 hardware so they wont just drop it, they will make a profit on the 360 hardware vs a loss on the xbox1 hardware. if the ps3 is so advanced where are all the superior games for it? why do games work better on the 360?

the only thinf sony got right was the ps3 lifespan. with floppage on this scale there wont be a ps4, so the ps3 will have to last cows a lifetime. but you are right that ms will probably come out with a new console and another great library before the ps3 gets a single AAA game, probably around 2011.

???? the xbox was sold out for 5 months. the ps3 has sold around 4 million in its first year, not half the 360s that sold in the first yer. where are the game sales for the ps3? how can i call it a flop? by looking at the facts.

So xbox 360 has been out for 21 months and the ps3 has been out for 9 months.So do you people claim ownage that your 21 month old console has more games than a 9 month old console.But what do we do?Thinker_145

So we're supposed to just throw away the titles?

I dunno if thats a smart move..some of PS2's best games came out in its first year..you sure you wanna just disregard the headstart and say those games don't count?

Why did you not read what i said after that????:|

Why would I wanna read all the dumb things you had to say after?

I had enough out of what I quoted. Then scrolling down the page I have to see your other dumb comments.

you think ms can design, develop, and produce a console in less than 1 year? a whole console in less than 1/3 of the time that it takes just to make a game on the ps3? not even i, a lemming, think ms are that good. they pwn all the rights to the 360 hardware so they wont just drop it, they will make a profit on the 360 hardware vs a loss on the xbox1 hardware. if the ps3 is so advanced where are all the superior games for it? why do games work better on the 360?

the only thinf sony got right was the ps3 lifespan. with floppage on this scale there wont be a ps4, so the ps3 will have to last cows a lifetime. but you are right that ms will probably come out with a new console and another great library before the ps3 gets a single AAA game, probably around 2011.

How the hell can a system that has almost near month per month sales as your beloved xbox be considered a flop?

???? the xbox was sold out for 5 months. the ps3 has sold around 4 million in its first year, not half the 360s that sold in the first yer. where are the game sales for the ps3? how can i call it a flop? by looking at the facts.

Take a look at the july sales figures, xbox barely outsold ps3, the ps3 even outsold the 360 up here in canada by over 2000 units, take a look at the facts if you dont believe me.

I would like to see how the M$ fans feel when M$ releases a completely different console within the next year and drop the 360 along with the 360 games.

Sony has raised the standards far past the 360 when it released the PS3 with all the latest hardware specifications. Now the only way M$ will be able to compete is release a console with Blu-Ray in the very very near future or they will be lose this time as well. People have yet to see that M$ is nothing more than a updated XBOX to compete against the PS2 and not a next generation console by a long way.

Ya it's probably not sony vs microsoft.But it is the playstation brand of consoles vs xbox brand of consoles.By saying that the 360 has far more games that the ps3,u cannot say that thus xbox>playstation.You gotta compare them in a set timeframe.Go ahead and compare the original xbox and xbox 360 lineup of the last 2 years with that of the ps2 and ps3 and you will seewhich brand still offers better gaming.

yeah set time frame, too bad thats not reality, thats why the 360 jumped ahead ith that launch, stop living in a dream world.

lol in july when sony announced a closeout/discontinued/ mass floppage sale as a $100 price cut and before halo3 the ps3 still couldn't sell as much. july was the best chance the ps3 was ever going to have of claiming a single month, forget the gen, a single month and they failed.360 will sell more units in nov and dec than the ps3 does all year. the 360 killed the ps3 with the earlier undelayed release and great games, but the games of fall 2007 are when we throw the dirt on sony and bury them for good.

That's only because of a recent surge due to the price drop. The PS3 was lagging in sales consistently behind all systems including the Gameboy Advance for months.

right, a faulty system that has a 33% failure rate, is going to bury a 12 year old brand in a span of two months. The july sales figures just show that its becoming a much closer sales race than ms fanboys think or give credit to. I wouldnt be surprised if the figures stay pretty tight all through years end.

Who is a Microsoft Fanboy? Just because I own a 360 doesn't mean I'm obligated to own every Microsoft console that is released. Unlike Sony fan boys who feel the need to buy every system with the PS brand logo on it. I could easily pick up a PS3 if I felt the need, or hell, just not buy a new system.

The case usually is that by the time the new systems come out, you are ready to move on to the next-gen.

No it isn't. The PS3 had a Fire Sale ($100 Price Drop) and there were "Buy a PS3 get 5 Blu-Ray DVDs!" offers going around. Yet they still couldn't surpass the 360? Imagine now that the 360 has a price drop, let alone that one of the most, if not then the most, anticipated game titles ever is coming out.

PS2 is still outselling 360 :| What does that prove. Its true that 360 has been out a year longer, but its launch titles are better than what PS3 is offering almost a year into its first cycle. PS3 may have the hardware, but right now 360 has got the games.

Oh my God! Ratchet & Clank and Haze! Heaven forbid UT3 was coming to the 360 (when we don't have so many AAA titles coming out) and Rock Band coming to the 360.

If you seriously think the PS3 will outsell the 360, and already is, you are in denial.

Im not saying the 360 wont outsell the ps3 this year, because it will. What i am saying though is come next year what does the 360 have to offer to compete with what sony will be throwing out there (MGS4, GT, socom, killzone 2), if you can cant accept that one than you my friend are the one whos in denial.

I accept that many of the PS3's big hitters are coming out in 2008, but I also accept that it will most likely just catch up to the 360's end of 2007 lineup. It's as if every PS3 owner thinks that after 2007, XBOX 360 has no 2008 exclusives.

I honestly think it's too early to make any calls for 2008. Wait until the end of the holiday season before making predictions.

The clearence sale was just in NA and not the rest of the world where the PS3 out sold the 360. And there have been some main stream developers dropping the 360 and developing on the PS3 (GTA5) will be on the PS3 along with more to come. It may lead to other games going to the PS3 (even the ones slated for the 360 already).

It's called Move On To Nex-Gen ;).....MS dumped the Xbox and it's bringing them sucess in the NEXT-GEN business, Sony is still stuck with the PS2....Mmmm wonder why?

Wii takes over 360 sales.

Hardware failures reach a new level.

I dont think what you said is true.

Has better games, sells better than PS3 and has the best Online service. Faulty hardware will hopefully bne fixed in the future if not 360 is just doomed. Wii is not meant to compete with 360 or PS3.

Link showing better WORLDWIDE sales?

You're still at this?? Damn, you stubborn as heck. And you need a LINK to know that PS3s have sold around 5 million and 360s have sold 12 million. You a real Cow. Jeez.

So this just shows that the ps3 is selling better.360 had sold around 9 million when the ps3 launced so clealry ps3 is selling better.

You're still here??? Damn, X360 has sold 12 million+ whilst PS3 sold 4.5 million +....And you say PS3 is selling better.....I can't believe you.

In conclusion the playstation brand of consoles have consistently sold more and have produced better games than the xbox brandfor the last 2 years.

Funny, I've seen you contredict yourself, ignore certain arguments, make up statistics, and go off on rants that disregard all logic.

And you still havn't answered: Can't I buy a 360 for $350, a PS2 for $120, and still be much cheaper than a PS3?

Huh are you serious?

Let's see,$350+$120+$150(three years of live)+$20(controller charger)+$10$(ps2 mem card)=$650

Ps3=$500+$30(HDMI cable if u need one)=$530

Much cheaper????U lose all credibility my friend.

Wow, for someone who's name is thinker, thats damn ironic.

The thing is that .... who really cares? They both have good games comming within the next few months which can be brought to make up for it ...
