[QUOTE="Chris-Hansen"][QUOTE="Vyse_The_Daring"]There was 360 shortages. :|Vyse_The_Daring

haha your logic makes me laugh

if there are shortages, it means there are NO XBOX360's AVAILABLE

get it? no supply

ps3 has been the opposite

You're in no position to laugh at anyone. When there are no products in the stores, one cannot buy this product, the 360 would have sold more had there been more consoles available.

I bolded where you decided to ignore the shortages and claim that you were amazed the PS3 sold more. You werent saying it sold well, you were saying it sold better while ignoring supply constraints.

Well, it's not a failure yet. Not sure why people keep saying this. You got to give the system at least 12-18 months. It's selling better then the 3DO and Virtual Boy. If it keeps getting outsold by the GBA 6-7 months from now, things may change. ;) When your system is being outsold by your last-gen system, that's a problem. Sony keeps seeing this as a positive, but it really isn't. Sure you are happy that the PS2 is still selling well, but you really want developers to start focusing on the PS3 and not last-gens PS2. blackace

[QUOTE="bloodyclot"]3 months after launch you couldn't get an xbox 360 yet....ps3 you could go and pick one off the shelves.. maybe the issue is the shortage otherwise i truly think the 360 woud of easily sold that 50k moreblackace

okay but did the TC take into account that in the first 3 months of the PS3, they didn't even sell to Europe yet? I think that off-sets the argument the XBOX360 has with the shortages.

Well, that's true too, but there was XBox 360 shortages in Europe as well. The only place there wasn't shortages was in Japan. We will never truly know the who would have sold more in the first 3 months because both launches were completely different. M$ & Sony would both need to launch their systems on the same day, in the same markets with the same amount of units shipped for you to truly get an accurate sales number. There's no way to do that with the way the PS3 and XBox 360 launched. XBox 360 didn't have any competition and the PS3 did because of the Wii. :? Too many variables.

so we can agree with the TC that the ps3 is not a failure like many in these forum claim it to be

Sony could've just sent less to the US and cows here could've just have easily said "PS3s all sold out lol, 360 t3h suxxR--rrRs"

>.>; Point is, Sony just sent an overflow to keep shelves stocked.

Couldn't find one til April second 2006. Man Oblivion and Graw made the last few weeks in March harsh on me. Because I wanted one ASAP but no store near me had any.

Big time through the end of april. But some people want to pretend and live in fantasy land and say ps3 beat 360 by 50,000 over the same time frame. Blah Blah Blah.

If they are not going to include why the 360 sold what it did, then their point is worthless.

they say its gonna be a failure because the xbox360 already failed...legalize3

LOL

Ur a little confused the wii sold over 300k, the 360 only sold 174k but still... 

Imo, this coming holiday season through the fiscal year is the defining point for all three consoles.

Bottom line is the wii is kicking major ass and the ps3 is being outsold every month period. They better get some games out FAST!!!

[QUOTE="legalize3"]

[QUOTE="kevbo77"]The first 3 months of the systems' launch are not comparable. The PS3, aside from the first month or so, was never supply constrained. I remember that when the 360 came out, I couldn't find one in a retail store for the first 4 months or so. I think that if the 360 had more units available, they probably would have sold considerably more units than they did in those first few months. The PS3, on the other hand, has had a lot of available unites since January. That's the difference as I see it.kamuix

ya riiiight if sony released the ps3 worldwide it would aslo have shortages in the us

He has a point the ps3 only launched in the U.S and Japan. The 360 however attempted a worldwide launch. So there were consoles in other provinces

indeed but the op's article is only comparing NA sales number

and to the guy who keeps saying the ps3 is $200  more and still sold more what do u not understand

if theres no supply they cant sell more, hell they could have been selling 360's for $1 and it still wouldnt of sold more cause there wasnt enough supply

yea  you're the one to talk:roll:

yea same thing can be said about the ps3:roll:  i dont understand this brand loyalty. shouldnt the games matter more over console loyalty. whatever

Yeah...it's just too bad the PS3 isn't competing with the 360 three months after the 360 launched, it's competing with the 360 NOW. 

[QUOTE="blackace"]

[QUOTE="legalize3"]they say its gonna be a failure because the xbox360 already failed...legalize3

Yeah, over 10 million sold in less then 1-1/2 years is a failure? :roll: The 360 is far, far from being a failure.

thats not my point my point is you cant claim ps3 as a failure in its first months when its pacing out the xbox360 in the same time frame if you do the xbox360 also failed.... 

Imo, this coming holiday season through the fiscal year is the defining point for all three consoles.
