Xbox 360 outsells the PS3 THREE-TO-ONE over thanksgiving

Beginning of the year..

Lems "Who cares about sales" "Can I play sales? NO!"

The end of the year...

Lems "LOL the 360 is pwning the PS3 in sales" "PS3 is doomed"

:roll:

I guess once the PS3 has a price drop and continues to outsell the 360 again we'll go back to not caring about sells again, right lems?

Sheep argue sales = Lame.

Lems argue sale = hardcore! :roll:

I thought sales didn't matter?

[QUOTE="jknight5422"]

It stands to reason that people buy the 360 because American game developers build on PCs & 360 & then port to the PS3. PS3 only gets ported games which lack quality over the Microsoft versions. When I was shopping for a console, the first thing I looked at was what consoles American game developers were going to make their games for...the majority stuck with what they already knew: Microsoft.

One or two exceptions? Okey-dokey.

But it goes deeper than how the two versions might end up looking.

Take a look at this:

"THQ has informed Eurogamer that the PlayStation 3 version of earthling annihilation sim Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon, isn't quite as canceled we were lead to believe. It's still on track for a European release, joining its Xbox 360 sibling on shelves next year, February 13th. Is that enough time to sort out those "development issues?" "

Developers often have problems (development issues) with the PS3 version. Sometimes they overcome those issues and end up with a more or less identical version of a game...and sometimes (to often to blame it on lazy devs) they end up with delays, buggy games or visually inferior versions of the PS3 game.

Downplay it all you want, but the truth is the truth.

Beginning of the year..

Lems "Who cares about sales" "Can I play sales? NO!"W1NGMAN-

Lies...lies...lies.

Lemms care about sales...it is one of our major arguments. There are more 360 out in the world than there are PS3s. End of story. The 360 is beating the PS3, which lingers in last place. Why would lemmings downplay sales?

The only ones that say "Can I play sales" are cows...what else can they say?

The end of the year...

Lems "LOL the 360 is pwning the PS3 in sales" "PS3 is doomed"

:roll:W1NGMAN-

Well, you can rolley eyes all you want,but in the end the facts are facts. The 360 is indeed pwning the PS3 this holiday season...both in the US and Europe. Is the PS3 doomed? I'm not sure, but things are not looking good for Sony.

I guess once the PS3 has a price drop and continues to outsell the 360 again we'll go back to not caring about sells again, right lems?

W1NGMAN-

Just wait, right? The price drop is supposed to happen in March...well, people usually don't not buy consoles in March, especially with a bad economic recession making people nervous.

Pound you chest all you want; the truth is...those 130 million PS2 owners are not going to buy a PS3 in March...and people are not going to stop buying the cheaper 360 just because Sony dropped their price.

TBH If the prices were reversed, I would still buy the 360, BUT would be lonesome coz all my friends would've bought the the PS3 instead. Which means I'd be owning both systems but playing my 360 more for the single player games, and the PS3 for mp's. Rumble_Stud

Thats the crazy thing...this gen should have been dominated by Sony, but they made mistakes with Blu-ray and the price. Because of those mistakes the prices could never be reversed. If not for Blu-ray, the PS3 launch would not have been delayed...and the price could probably be around $200 now.

What a way to flush market share down the toilet.

Wii beats all.....but i thought you cant play sales?caligamer

[QUOTE="Pimpshigity21"][QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"] Eh? :? With one or two exceptions PS3 & 360 multiplats are all but identical. I find it hilarious how the lems & cows squabble over some shadow in a still or a few pixels.blue_hazy_basic

they obviously havent played on a 360 since the horrible NXE came out i didnt buy a nintendo 360 .. i bought a microsoft xbox 360 gotta sell itdoll94

Agreed. It's almost as if they're failing BECAUSE they thought too far ahead. Great idea, brilliant even considering blue-ray is now the format of choice, but still very new compared to dvd. Then obviously fell victim to economy and just plain ole bad timing.

honestly, if youre going to go with sales to say a console is better, then youre saying that the wii is the greatest console ever.. no real gamer cares about sales. only fanboys do.Sword-Demon

You obviously know little about the videogaming industry. Thank you for expressing that.

[QUOTE="EmperorSupreme"]I posted on this topic a few weeks ago. I thought PS3 had it for sure earlier this year even with the higher price. Then the worlds financial economy went to heck. Now a lot of people aren't concerned with quality or value, they just want cheap. And you can see it from the way that McDonalds sales have increased, Walmart sales have increased and Xbox sales have increased. speedsix

The fact the 360 is so cheap is merely a bonus, it's arguabley the better console for gamers this gen regardless of price, especially if you're very into online gaming.

I'd say if you're into online gaming then it's a no brainer to go with PS3, then it actually works out to cost less. Of course that's a value proposition, most walmart shoppers don't understand that.EmperorSupreme

[QUOTE="CubanBlunt"][QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"] Eh? :? That makes no sense. Its Sony's decision where to price and what to put in their console.The_Game21x

What makes no since...that people will buy what they want no matter the price?:roll:

What? :?

Look, I don't know what kind of magical fantasy world you live in but people do not just buy whatever they want no matter the price. I'm pretty sure there are a very large number of people that would love to have a million dollar mansion, a Ferrari in their driveway, a 56 inch Plasma in their bathroom (because they've got a 100 incher in the living room) and their own private jet but they don't because the price for those things is far too high.

People buy what they can afford, and often go for the cheaper alternative. In this case, it happens to be the Xbox 360 Arcade. And :lol: for trying to compare sales of the Elite to the sales of the PS3. It's not MS's fault the PS3's cheapest SKU is $400 and sales tracking companies like the NPD and Media create don't count individual SKUs either, they count them all as a whole.

LOL, You are too funny. CLEARLY people buy what they can aford:lol:, and its not always the cheapest, I drive a Audi because I can aford to, I had all 3 system because I can aford them. People buy what they want, no matter the price...sorry, what they can aford:roll:

if we're going by this logic then the PS3 has already lost the sales war, because if this is what you believe then they have turned their backs on children and teens, which if i am not mistaken are usually the first demographic that are interested in consoles

[QUOTE="CubanBlunt"][QUOTE="The_Game21x"] Dude, You do realize that you saying you buy what you can afford completely contradicts everything you said earlier right? :| If price was no object to the majority of people, then why is it that people are choosing the Xbox 360 over the PS3 or the Wii over both of them? You do realize that saying people buy what they want no matter the price assumes that price is no object, right? Do you buy whatever you want assuming price is no object? No, I'm sure you don't. Not unless you have millions of dollars in an offshore bank account that I don't know about. And if that's the case, then what the hell are you wasting time here for? I own all three consoles and a nice HDTV because I can afford to buy them, not because the price didn't matter. Some folks aren't as fortunate as I am to be able to do that and that's what I'm trying to prove. It's a simple concept that seems to have sailed right over your head. Again. st1ka
