this is certainly how it seems to me, I just find it a bit odd that almost every retailer advertises that they cary 360, but they barely ever advertise PS3. just a minute ago I saw a 'walmart' commercial, advertising the 360... whenever I go to a store to pick up a multiplat game on PS3 the sales associate tries to talk me out of DESPERATELY.... and if you havent noticed the guys on 'on the spot' always use the 360 version when dealing with multiplats.... Its these numerous small things everywhere that make me wonder, Is the whole worls full of lemmings? I know that from the start the odds have generally been pited against the PS3 (late release date, worse games, ect.) but the sheer volume of uninformed people who support the 360 blindly is just insane. discuss:|

Marketing 101...

Xbox360 has an impressive installed-base - remember, kids:

lots o' consoles out there = lots o' potential game sales...

Soon, you will see retailers skewing their marketing efforts toward Wii, as it continues to dominate MS and Sony on the sales floor... that is, once retailers finally feel confident that Nintendo can start meeting the insatiable consumer demand supply-wise...

... and then eventually with PS3 as its numbers grow...

It's all about the number$...

If you mean lemmings in the metaphorical term, then yes. Its been a conformist society for the past 40 years here in the states.

mabe because the clerk hates on the ps3, most ppl don't like to tell the truth, they will complement it tho...and ps why would the clerk do that anyways...mabe u just though there were....anyways its true, sony is more or less pushing the movie blu-ray aspect of the ps3 then the games, but lately i've seen more then usual game ads and alike, i like the new octo ps3 commericals tho i wish they would use the gameplay and not some crap afv like thing, that time crisis 4 ps3 octo commerical sucks!

In Toronto, they sell more PS3s than 360s now. The Futureshop flyer I got had the 80GB PS3 in the gaming section and the 40GB PS3 in the Blu-Ray section. lol
