the huge advantage X360 has, is that, most games are multiplat, so why buy a PS3 when you can get the game on a cheaper alternative.

Street Fighter IV, Resident Evil 5, Madden, Rock Band, Guitar Hero, GTAIV, Pro EVolution Soccer, FFXIII, Tekken 6, etc all these are top selling games and they can all be played on X360 which is cheaper than PS3, more so in most cases, run better on X360, so logically speaking, why buy a PS3.

in the future, PS3 might have more exclusives than X360 due to its 1st party, but will it be enough for people to switch or buy a PS3?

there are lots of multiplat games to keep an X360 owner happy without making them feel they are missing out on much. MS has given people a reason to buy an X360,which is you dont need to spend $400 to play Street Fighter IV, RE 5, FFXIII, Tekken 6, GTAIV, BioShock, etc, you just need to spend $200.

Sony needs to give people more reasons to get a PS3, they need to really differentiate themselves from X360, because to the casual eyes, X360 and PS3 are the same, its just that PS3 is more expensive. Sony needs more quality exclusives and market them properly, make people aware of PS3 exclusives, let them no what the PS3 is offering, its exclusives, be it released or unreleased.

This is just my opinion on the situation, feel free to agree or disagree.

I put agree but I do not think that is the only reason. There is a few but ya that is also a big one. A person can purchase a 360 for 1/2 the price as a PS3 while both share about 90% of the games and most multiplats are also better on the 360.

Obviously there are other factors, but this is one that is ignored far too often.

thats for early buyers, but people who bought an X360 last year, people buying an X360 now, and potential 360 buyers, this is a huge factor for them.

but the quality of the console is far greater than 1/2 if you go with the ps3.

The price point is a massive boon to sales, if anything the multiplats are probably a even smaller reason for the sales. If multiplats and quality gaming determined who got the most sales the cheapest consol...The Wii would not be millions of units ahead would it?

well, here in NA, everyone is buying the x360 cuz the media here just destroyed the ps3, casuals think its dead cuz they heard it on the news. Well, its just dirty bussines, thats all, if you got the money you can even control the media.

I think its selling because its better and cheaper.

I think most PS3 sales are off the back of A)The brand name B)The blu ray and C)RROD horror stories regarding the xbox

Price is the reason, as well as exclusives like Gears and Halo being huge phenomena in comparison to MGS or Resistance.

Although I should think the PS3 would be more economical in the long run without $50 online.

Because it is the cheapest system now. Even cheaper than the Wii.

People think in terms of money.

If you take into account the extra year the 360 had, the PS3 actually sold more per year.

I agree while I own both systems now I had picked up the 360 first because of the price and there were more titles I wanted on the 360 ATM.

the reason why Xbox360 was /is having great sales is simply because its a good console.... it has some amazing exclusives + a huge library of great exclusives... add to this a great online service and you have reasons enough to get this console... but the main reason why its selling more than PS3 is simply because of the price factor... the 360 is cheaper (price-wise) and therefore its more affordable, i am sure if the PS3 was just USD30 more expensive there wouldnt be this huge gap in sales compared to the 360 since PS3 would be a much better package... (great exclusives + multiplats, free online, Blu-ray etc etc)

make it simple because ms dropped the price and thats why the 360 is selling more there is no argument to this. prior t o the price drop the ps3 was selling more. im not sure if the 360 will continue to sell more now that the holidays are over. it may just be even between them.

Have you lot never read the threads and papers and websites which say about how the ps3 has sold more on a average month in its life time so far then the 360!!! there more 360 just because it has been out longer but its not outselling and the ps3 is gaining plus with this year looking so great in the land of playstation you gap is going to decrease fast

Don't agree

360 sells better because of

1. Half the PS3 price
2. Better and far more exclusives (counting console exclusives) than just overhyped overscored last gen in gameplay and level design games (LBP, MGS4 etc)
3. Vastly more RPGs and variety in lineup
4. Best online
5. Best versions of multiplatforms most of the time, plus extra content for major titles like Fallout 3, GTA4 etc

Don't agree

360 sells better because of

1. Half the PS3 price - TRUE
2. Better and far more exclusives (counting console exclusives) than just overhyped overscored last gen in gameplay and level design games (LBP, MGS4 etc) - FALSE (its just a very biased opinion)
3. Vastly more RPGs and variety in lineup - TRUE as regards quantity, but surely not a list which contains quality RPGS (check reviews)
4. Best online - Debatable since its not a FREE service and its not that superior to justify paying for it..
5. Best versions of multiplatforms most of the time, plus extra content for major titles like Fallout 3, GTA4 etc - MAYBE, but most multiplats are of same quality.. Minor differences dont effect gameplay / story or fun in games, unless you stop analising every frame/area/animation etc etc while playing a game in order to compare it to other versions..

obamanian

So when logic and common sense are applied the only TRUE reason why 360 is selling better is purely cause it has a cheaper price-tag... both systems have great exclusives, great multiplats, good online services which do their MAIN purpose (playing games online) and some great upcoming titles..

But when logic and common sense are not applied you see lists of reasons why PS3 is not selling on par with 360 from fanboys containing nonsense...

Yes essentially it is the price factor,but thats important because the xbox360 is offerring the same kind of experience as a ps3 with mostly the same games for half the price, dont forget that the cheaper pricetag and the acquired franchises like final fantasy and tekken, have made the ps3 look redundant, before those games would have big system selling potential for the ps3 now the ps3 is seeing alot of its previous users(ps2 users) being lured away by a cheaper console offering the big name traditional sony franchises.

The only real reason is the price. I'd be willing to go out on a limb and say that if both were identical prices, the ps3 would outsell the x360, this has happened before, actually it happened before the x360 price drop, ps3 was outselling it on a monthly basis and it was still a slightly higher priced machine/better machine.

The PS3 is inferior in almost every meangingful way AND it's considerably more expensive. Without the Playstation legacy behind it, the PS3 would be dead in the water right now.

Price is the real reason .. both consoles are so similar that you only need to buy one and the 360 is half the price of the PS3

if it wasn't for the BLu-ray and the PSX name the PS3 would be dead in the water

But this is short term the price will come down and people will feel that it's worth getting for the exclusives and the added extras

Unless the Wii-placement comes out at cheap money and better than current machines we'll be looking at a fairly even split of console sales come the end of this generation .. with the only real winner being nintendo with it's cash cow in the very overpriced Wii

Personally i'd happily buy a PS3 when it's 1/3 cheaper and i can pick up some of the older games for silly cheap money

dont worry, you cannot really take such statement into consideration, thats fanboyism at its best... everyone with some common sense knows all systems have much to offer... why not everyone owns a FERRARI, people will tell you because with a USD20,000 car i can go everywhere as i would do with a USD200,000 FERRARI and thats TRUE... but if a FERRARI costs USD20,000 dont you think people would rather get it over a Honda CIVIC for the same price? (Prices & Honda Civic were used just as an example with no intention to bash the model)

Not saying 360 or Wii are completely inferior to PS3 since they both have much to offer, but a USD249.00 PS3 being a Blu-ray player, having many multimedia features, 40gig HDD, reliable hardware, Good free online service and a great games library consisting of exclusives & multiplats + some great upcoming titles in 2009 would definately appeal to more gamers..

So yes people should just accept the fact that PRICE is the main factor why PS3 is not selling as much as 360 atm..

Your comparisson is not working, because 360 is a Ferrari too in both hardware, graphics and most of all games

PS3 has no RPG's, and so far has some of the lowest quality as far as next gen gameplay and level design go games, like Uncharted, MGS4, LBP, with the tiny paths and small levels

So, 360 wins in visuals, huge open worlds like Fable 2, real next gen and innovative gameplay in Fable 2, Banjo 3, in level design in games, in RPG's quality and quantity (just see hosw mediocre the only PS3 RPG, White Knight looks and plays), in overall game quality, in startegy titles, in shooters etc etc

And will get even better in 2009 too, with even more RPG's, even more REAL next gen huge free roaming worlds (Alan Wake,KUF2, Two Worlds Temptation, Divinity 2, Venetica etc), even more startegy, adventure etc title with real huge next gen worlds, not paths like in th last gen offerings of PS3 like Uncharted 1-2, Heavy Rain, GOW3, MGS4, LBP etc

So, for half the price, you can have the best Ferrari in the world, when with a PS3 you have to pay double to get a crippled Ferrari without wheels and fuel box

How's that?

Obviously the unmeaningful ways are , reliability , internet browsing , free online multiplayer , New (flawed) portal system in home , built in WI-fi , easier and more complete media sharing / Media centre functionality.

not saying the PS3 is in anyway worth the extra money .. but for some people these are deciding factors

I'm an xbox owner these features were not a big enough sale for me .. but i still see their worth.

thanks for showing once again how much of a fanboy you are... unlike me having both systems i never bashed either 360 or Wii and stated both have much to offer... should PS3 be around the same price tag like the other 2 consoles PS3 would be the best package...

Games are a matter of taste and you cannot really say 360 wins in visuals when PS3 has games like Uncharted, R&C and upcoming titles such as Heavy Rain, Uncharted2 & Killzone2... both offer great visuals...

Also you just stop at quantity when pointing out 360 has more RPGS, quality of most of those rpgs is inferior to rpgs which came out last gen on PS2... so i dont care about quantity i prefare quality...

you probably have only a 360 so its understandable you praise your console not having other systems.... its common for people to bash what they dont own or else cannot afford... doesnt mean they are right at bashing though...

It's price above anything else. Things were a lot different before the $200 price tag.

It's one of the main reasons, why buy a PS3 if you want some multiplats, you can get a 360 for much cheaper.

I have both a PS3 and 360, and Wii too, that does not mean i like them so far, they have both been a huge dissapointment, and until FF13vs arrives, PS3 won't get any better for me

As for 360 RPG quality, i loved most of them, so they are great to top quality for me so far, each seems vastly better than White Knight which feels like a last gen generic MMO

It's selling more because it's a lot cheaper. PS3 sold more than 360 for a while when the price gap was smaller.

Price!! I agree with everyone saying you can buy most of the titles on Xbox 360 and you'd pay less over all. However, i really enjoyed playing MGS4 (and got to see how everything wrapped up) and would like to play Little big planet, (looks super cute) I don't think home would be my cup of tea, prolly not like the sims or animal crossing. Also, i like the idea of being able to install games to your hard disk to load the game faster, which i feel they were trying to go for with blu-ray, but they kinda missed that with what PC games have had all these years.

I buy a console because it has a must have game. For the 360 it Oblivion (at the time I had no gaming PC as I had just moved from UK). For the Wii it was Wii Sports (and not much else apparently) and my wife wanted it. For the PS3 it would need an exclusive WRPG - thats my fav genre by a country mile. People saying price is the only reason just don't get it.

the price difference between x360 and ps3 give the x360 a power to sell more although people want to buy a ps3 not for exclusives but as a better than x360

Let's not overthink this people.........at this time a $199 pricetag is much more preferable than a $399 pricetag. People are looking to cut spending anywhere they can so common sense says a console half the price of your competitor would sale better. Stop with the multipats or exclusives......it has nothing to do with it right now. It all comes down to price, if the PS3 was even $100 dollars cheaper than it is right now, it would outsell the X360. It wasn't slashed in price and won't be for some time.

Have you lot never read the threads and papers and websites which say about how the ps3 has sold more on a average month in its life time so far then the 360!!! there more 360 just because it has been out longer but its not outselling and the ps3 is gaining plus with this year looking so great in the land of playstation you gap is going to decrease fastshoemen22
Yes i have read those threads. but did you see the november NDP results? the only thing the PS3 outsold was the PS2. COD WAW sold almost 1 million more on the 360 than PS3.
