[QUOTE="microgreedy"]To those who don't like me already: The Wii outsold the 360 during Christmas. However, what would you want to buy for yourself? 360 right? Right. Same thing with PS3 vs 360. The 360 outsold the PS3 during Christmas. However, what do you think most gamers would rather buy for themselves? Deep down inside, you know the answer is the PS3. The 360 is the console you buy as a gift. The PS3 is the console you want to receive as a gift.ActicEdge

I have a Wii and not a 360, again, point moot.

The point is moot to you, but not to others who receive the 360 as a gift. Where's Pachter? Maybe he can give us the numbers of consoles sold as gifts. That ought to make 360 fanboys feel uncomfortable.

"360 was the ultimate gift king"Ravensmash
Because: you save money. you don't have to worry about paying $60 every year just to play online. you don't have to worry about expensive hard drives you don't have to worry about buying a Blu-ray player you don't have to worry about lack of exclusives. you don't have to envy PS3 owners for having the best graphics, sounds, variety, etc. So, yeah, the 360 is the ultimate gift for others, not for yourself.

[QUOTE="microgreedy"]I am not saying there aren't gamers who bought the 360 for themselves. I am saying, if there is a study done, the researchers will see a higher percentage of self-bought PS3 owners. It makes sense when you compare sales of PS3 vs. 360 during the Christmas season and during the other times. The Wii out sold the 360 during December. I am sure most gamers would rather have the 360 than the Wii. Similarly, the 360 outsold the PS3 during December, but I think most gamers would rather have the PS3 than the 360.DroidPhysX

And your proof behind this is...?

Look at the sales number during the Christmas season. On a worldwide basis, the 360 tend to outsell the PS3 during Nov and Dec. Other months, the PS3 generally has the 360 beat in sales.

But seeing as you can't do this study, you'll have to take a sample from this thread - which proves your theory to be incorrect.

Jeeze. Wonderful logic. Make no effort to study real world data. So just assume this thread is real world data. I am glad my college taught me to think better than this logic.

I remember these exact same threads 5 years ago and..........5 weeks ago regarding the Wii. Wii = Fad. Is the Wii fad over with?

Fizzman
Wii isn't a fad because it is versatile. Kinect is limited to short, active games. I just can't see how Kinect will keep offering gamers new gameplay experiences when it has so many limitations (lag, tiring to play, etc., add-on, etc.)

What type of console you want for yourself? Most awesome features. Low maintenance. Best graphics. Best sounds. Higher end multimedia experiences. More variety of games (MMOs, Play-Create-Share, etc.). Best overall gaming experiences. All of these are PS3's advantages, in my opinion. PS3 has best gaming experiences because the PS3 gets all the best multiplats and the best exclusives. I think there is no longer any doubt that when it comes to excluisve games, the PS3 has the 360 beat. Multiplats are pretty much equal overall, though the 360 has a slight edge. What type of console you want to buy as a gift for others? Initial cheaper price. A viable and good console. I think price is the most important factor during the Christmas season, when people buy gifts for others. That's why the Wii outsold the 360 and the PS3 in December. When you buy a 360 as a gift, you let your recipients worry about paying $60 just to play online and about the 360's lack of exclusives. So, the PS3 is the console gamers want for themselves while the 360 is the console you hope gamers want for a gift.
