[QUOTE="nVidiaGaMer"][QUOTE="coldsteel321"]

Why do people say PS3 is selling bad/will sell bad this holiday when it has been outselling the 360 ever since launch. Remember when MGS4 came out the PS3 almost sold as much as the Wii the same thing will happen this Holiday with Motorstorm, SOCOM, Resistance 2, and especially LBP.

- Sony will advertise like crazy this holiday, this will get people to know about LBP and multiplats like COD5.

- PS3 at 400$ is such an incredible value for consumers since they get so many features like free online forever and Bluray compared to the worst 360 model which is at 200$ the arcade model. Consumers will investigate about both consoles, its not like their going to grab 360s like crazy this holiday just because it is cheap. MS knew they were loosing the battle in NA so the price drop came just like with the PS3 last year. Ecept that the PS3 was selling "well" everywhere except NA and not the 360.

- Sony knows they won't need a price drop to do well this holiday 400$ is good and they just got so many good games. Sony/ MS know more than anyone else in this forum, they sure have their own strategies to sell their console and their not going to make a mistake that will make people stop buying a PS3 of all sudden so please stop.

Yes 360 will sell more than PS3 this holiday in NA but not by much you will see but at the end the PS3 will sell much more than 360 World Wide with WKC coming Dec. 25th 360/Wii have no chances to win in Japan. NA is 360 land we all know just like last gen with the Xbox and Gears 2 is too popular but in the end both consoles will sell about the same this Holiday's NPD but Worldwide PS3 wins.

I'm placing my bets that the PS3 will outsell the 360 however 360 games will outsell PS3 games because theres Left for Dead, Fable 2, and Gears of War 2. Those games will most likely not increase console sales just like GTA IV didn't.

wanna place a wager on that?

EDIT: 1000th post /clap

No doubt, I'll take this dudes action. I would bet $1000 360 outsells PS3. And I am seriously trying to be objective. Sony won't win this holiday. And that will be 3 in a row.

#1 360 is not even on track to be nethign near PS2

#2 Sony hasnt sold over 200+ million playstation products out of dumb luck, sony's 1st and 2nd console owned the market they are not going to let the Playstation brand die so fast, my problem is why lemmings always think sony is done for.... honestly its a joke, big American company that makes OS's comes in and suddenly sony is done for... what a joke

#3 only a matter of time b4r PS3 overtakes 360, why may u ask? 1st party games, sony has lost some exclusive 3rd party games, but they are building there 1st party....the thing is they did this on purpose, they could have easily purchased exclusives like MS, but they didnt they clearly know something u dont, and dont argue that bcz im not listening to a fanboy on SW tell me how a billion dollar corporation is failing. again this is not some small company that u'r dealing with this company has been around since 1946.

So when the 360 outsells it by a large margin this XMas (and you know it will) 3 holiday seasons in a row. Next year right.
You could use a little math skills.
Sony has outsold 360 in the months it won this year by aprox 10k a month. That is during the biggest game for PS3 being launched as well.

So your right it should catch it in about 20 years.

neither of them lol,

nintendo wii has more!!!!!!!!! and not just from its first party lol

from the 3rd party as well

Wii sucks so hard this gen. I am pissed I was tricked into buying one.

Young man, what did I tell you about common sense and unbias analysis.

You know it has no place in System Wars.

Now go wash up for the flame war.

There are a few things to consider:

PC section is generally the smallest at EB etc (sure digital downloads etc might effect this)
PC truly is plagued by piracy (Only blind hermits say otherwise)
Some stores (like game crazy) will only let you preorder PC games as they don't stock them.
PC used to stand so much higher than console games in quality. Now the difference is less noticeable.
Games that were once better on PC are now leading on console (Ghost Recon, Rainbow 6)
And last but not least, it appears more money can be made on consoles.

This does NOT mean PC sucks. I look forward to diablo more than any other game.

But PC isn't the king like it once was. I hate to say it but he isn't hating he is just observing. I love PC but it isn't like it used to be.

Some of what you say is true, i still hate this thing about high street stores not stocking PC games. Who in there right mind is going to shop at EB and pay and extra $10-30 or 10-30 pounds for a PC game when you can DD it or order from online stores, amazon or play.com. I'll tell you the answer, not many PC gamers. This is why many people don't buy from these stores.

My local JB HI FI has a PC section that is bigger than all the consoles sections combined (in terms of titles). Yet 300 yards away EB has a tiny section for PC, The reason? JB is around $25 cheaper for PC games.

That is true. But what you say is part of the problem. There is becoming sort of a divide between the two. Personally I used to think you only needed PC. Now I think you have to have both or you miss out IMHO.

What do you mean unbalanced?

Great mobo, cpu, ram.

Kind of weak gpu's compared to the rest of the system.

You could have gotten a more powerful gpu/gpu's to use all that power the antec 850 provides. :)

Also the 8800gt's can only go normal SLI, the 9800gt's only difference from the 8800gt is that its capable of tri sli.

Thanks! I'll see if I can exchange them.

1. No, but its an unbalanced rig.

2. Yes.

"Can I trouble you gurus for a question or two?" - d3thm0nkey

Yes you can.

1. What style do you keep your hair? A fauxhawk

2. Do you miss the old shoulder mounted boomboxes as much as I do? Not just that but breakdancing on checkered mats too.

Now a bit about your questions. No you didnt buy "crap". You did limit yourself on the video cards though. The 8800GT can only SLI two cards. There is only a single SLI port on top of the card and you need two on a card to do Tri-SLI. Still good cards, but if you can return them you may find that a couple of 9800 GTX(+)'s or 260 would offer a better value if you want to use that 790i in Tri SLI. Of course the 280 would be the best.

You can play Crysis just fine with that rig at high in 1600x1200 at high. However at about half way into the game you will start seeing performage drop and you may need to drop a couple of things to medium. The game was meant to scale over time and it push's even top of the line system. But your rig is more than able to play it very well while keeping it looking good.
