that this is yet another positive 360 story, in the 360 news section, with nothing about the ps3 in it....
yet....
this thread is choc-full of ps3 fans hating again.
17% year-on-year is extremely good news for MS, given the fact that this occurred at the same time as a $299 price drop on the fat, as well as the industry anticipation of the diet ps3.
Good job MS.
lol @ all the 'gamers' playing sales...
I thought Ghostbusters had maxed it out?
Still Meh....
However...
Space taxi and Summer Games were stupendously awesome!

Oh to be a kid again.
Can you stop stalking my posts, darkride66?
Get a life, old boy.
so we are blaming developers again?
Come on guys, the excuses are getting old.
It's staggering to think that it is now 2009 and Ps3 multiplats are still coming up short.
What's worse is, the ps3 fanboys take little time to consider the perspective of the developer, preferring instead to blame them, but strangely not the inaccessible hardware.
It is no secret that developers incur increased expense and difficulty when coding for the ps3, resulting i...
meh...
So wait...
you are saying you are happy about the fact that the game looks like crap on your console?
The Ps3 fans get all upset when the 360 multiplats are repeatedly held back the inferior ps3 hardware, despite the massive evidence supporting such claims.
They then resort to selectively ignoring this evidence and cling to the SMALL number of multiplats which are (very arguably) better looking on ps3. Witness the guy above me, as proof.
Here's the real facts, which show the 360 whipping the ps3 in most multiplats:
SO, uh.. here's the gist of darkride's comment:
- yes, the ps3 was outsold VERY convincingly in the last 12 months
- yes, the ps3 was outsold in EVERY quarter in the last 12 months
- yes, he had to add some spin and damage control to make himself feel better about it all.
There goes darkride again, stalking my comments like a nutjob
We can rely on him to serve up a never ending stream of pro-sony spin and outright lies, despite overwhelming evidence in my favour.
Here's the truth:

Darkride66.
you've been proven wrong again.
show some character for once.
Oh gawd.. darkride my dear fellow... must you be ever-so-ignorant?
Yes, it is a fact.
The only one who passes off opinion as fact is ... uh.. you.
Fact is, dozens of developers have complained about the difficulty and expense of coding for the ps3!
here's a sample:

self-pwnage.
Why doesn't Sony just include b/c chipset?
Surely that won't break the bank on the $299 slim manufacturing cost?
..oh wait.
So instead, they'll ask us to pay for the same game again?
What a way to repay all of us loyal ps1,ps2 fans!
well said scarecrows!
Let Sony bask in its moment of glory for now.
- The PS3 slim has been released
- The PS3 price has been cut
- UC2, Gow3 will are coming up
This is Sony's absolute high point.
Unfortunately, after that, what has Sony got left?
This state of affairs is a spike in the ps3 lifecycle, that is not sustainable, in all honesty.
Talking about how great TGS is not going to change that,just for now.
In time, people will talk about the ...
@ maximus...
you may be right about the ps3 fans.
They certainly won't be at TGS.. no, instead they'll be on n4g spamming up the 360 forums with ps3 fanboy coments.
just as always.
@ Gwave
wrong dude.
In the last 12 months the ps3 was outsold VERY convincingly to the tune of 1.2m+ units.

on topic:
Of course the sales of the past week were a spike. An unprecedentedly successful spike, but a spike nevertheless.
IT is my prediction that we'll see the sales average steadily decline from now on in. That's based on historical spikes after pricedrops and is thus quite logical.
first we heard it was 1000% increase...
then we heard it was 400% increase...
now we hear it is 300%?
funny, huh?
In any case, well done, Sony.
