Xbox 360 outsold PS3 this month.  What does that tell you?

Xbox 360s were limited last year, PS3s are readily available.  That's all there is to it.

I didn't know Europe was part of North America.  I'm such a dumb American.

I plan on getting a job over the summer specifically to pay for a new gaming PC that can run Vista and Direct X 10 properly, and run Crysis + Unreal Tournament 3 on high settings.

My reasons?

1. My PC is starting to turn to crap, and my PC has turned into such an intolerable piece of junk that it's pretty much a necessity.

2. I'm one of those people that cannot settle for medium or low settings.  Cannot.

All I know about it at this point, though, is that it's gonna cost me a BUTT LOAD.  So I EXPECT IT to be MUCH better than my 360.

Blu-Ray won't have a chance to take off until at LEAST a couple of years from now.  I still don't know anybody who even gives a damn about the format.

I say this is the year the tables are turned in favor of the sheep.

Overwhelmed?  I'm sorry but I've been in plenty of electronics stores in the past two weeks alone and I barely even notice the blu-ray section in comparison to the 40 or so shelves of DVD's surrounding it.  Blu-Ray and HD-DVD both have a LOT of catching up to do, and honestly, not only do I know nobody who cares, I also don't know very many people who even knows what Blu-Ray is.

Studios supported UMD at one point too.  Of course, that failed even without any solid competition, mainly because consumers just didn't want it.  Studios are always trying to find out what the movie watchers want from their DVD viewing.  It all boils down to what customers want, and what customers want probably isn't having to buy a new, expensive DVD player to play Talladegha Nights and Spiderman 2 with a little bit more clarity and few bonus features, for more money.  I spend a lot of money on DVD's each year and so far there just isn't anything that Blu-Ray has to offer that's gonna appeal to the market right now.  Nobody knows the difference because not enough people own HDTV's.  When the majority of people in the market do own HDTV's, that'll be the time to start focusing on Blu-Ray.

[QUOTE="cheezisgoooood"]Well the poll could've used an "all of the above" option but the competition provides a better deal bunches it all up in a nice succinct answer. That really is all there is to it, PS3 offers less for more for the average casual gamer, all things considered.Hammerofjustice

That's not what I said, I mentioned the average casual gamer for a reason, the average casual gamer doesn't know what blu ray or cell is gonna do to make his game experience better and when he looks at the games they're gonna see the extra $200 as a major turn off.  That's what my point was.

The DS's best selling games are Brain Age and Nintendogs I believe...so if Wii makes games like those, then yeah it might. Which is exactly what worries me...
