and the 360 has only claimed to "SHIP" 24 million.
I think everyone forgets that the second the write these articles.
Everyone also forgets that the 360 has absolutely 2 games in an entire year. One isn't even AAA.
Everyone also forgets that the 360 has no games or a lineup for 2009. Sure, keep telling yourself you are looking forward to Ninja blade, with all the media coverage of it.. Just like everyone was lookign forward to Banjo.
And thats all gamers care about. I respect any company that speaks with its product, vs press kits.
Again, Sony delivered the games. You can cry about what people say about the Wii in some random interview #4234, but there is no point made in every interview to mention the PS3, unlike Microsoft.
Don't put words in my mouth when there is a comment right above you saying what I said.
I'm not saying sony is the bigger company. I'm saying Sony has better ga...
and currently how they are 85% stronger than they were last year. No spin.
What you have is the lame media trying to fast-forward a dreamcast on Sony's behalf. THe numbers just dont stand behind it, so its clearly going to be done by a smear campaign.
Who has the higher rated games in 2008?
Sony.
Who has the better hardware?
Sony.
Who has the lowest pricecut in its third year?
Microsoft.
Gears2 & Fable2 so...
That some how "hype" estimates are now used as financial standards to compare sales for?
The definitions change every year, and every year the PS3 breaks them and moves ahead.
the 360 had a terrible game lineup in 08. But now it changed back to sales being more important than actually playing games. Which was shocking considering last year it was all about how Games were more important than sales...
Worldwide the PS3 is doing fine.
North america alone enjoyed a 85% increase in sales from 07 ytd. Im just confused on all the hate that just sprung up in the last few months here.
None of the articles are justified especially considering that there has been no price drop, and the economy is terrible. Even with that data, usually people would see a more expensive product with constant sales a good thing. But not in the game world..
Its getting to the poin...
All 360 fans have to brag about, is How much MS sells when they desperately drop the price in hopes of boosting sales. They only sold 100k more than they did last year at a significantly lower pricepoint(the wii)while the PS3 has boosted its sales 85% year to date from last year, with the same 'most expensive' pricepoint.
Playstation fans can Play LBP/MGS4/GT5P/ValkireChronicle s/R2/Motorstorm2 and the rest of the multiplats.
360 fans fan look at Microsoft's sales, a...
"But let’s not forget that Sony’s gaming platform is now the most expensive console available on the market. In fact, both Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii are almost twice cheaper, compared to PS3. There are analysts who have pointed out that the sales of PS3 have dropped compared to the previous year. In November 2007, Sony sold 466,000 units. But let’s not forget that in October Sony has announced a price of $499 instead of $599 for its PlayStation 3 with an 80 GB hard drive. In addition, th...
People LOVE socom. I didn't really know this until I met a Socomer.
They will put up with ALLLLLL of this crap just because they love the game. But s6 should really take care of the fans here.
Release the Update and SFTU because there are tons more updates that need to be done for the game to be fun to most.
its 2008 and Slant6 cant add a feature for an ONLINE ONLY GAME that allows me to join a friend.
Yes thats right, you cant just click on...
they all RROD. GOod news though, its cheap to buy another faulty unit with no game lineup this year or next.
lol..
Only if MS reported sold.
Heres another reality check..
The Playstation has better games, that sell perfectly fine. Which explain:
MGS4
Kz2
Uncharted2
Resistance2
LBP
GT5p
Gears2 sold 3 million, great. GT5p is already at 4+million and its a Demo. Since in your silly fanboy world sales mean one game is better than another? GT5p>Gears2. Motorstorm has sold more than Fable2 as well since F2 dropped off of the charts after its initial numbers. LBP is ...
It Is A
fact.
"
Sony's PlayStation business has been booming over the last couple of months, although the rest of the company isn't doing as well as the platform holder would like.
PS3 sales hit 2.43 million during the second quarter of Sony's business year (July to September). That's up 85% on the 1.31 million sold during the same period last year.
"
Edit, really? people still want to disagree?
As is Burnout.
The gates of stupid have once again been opened on this site by silly children who are all excited about MS selling the 360 at the cheapest price out of all consoles, without any game lineup to people looking for cheapest pricing in a recession. Let them enjoy it i guess. But dont bring up YTD or even Worldwide sales period.
If the PS3 should be going out of business this time in its second year, the 360 should have as well since it was in the same sp...
But sony lied about 4d.
the 360 has absolutely NO games in 2008 or 2009 with the exception of 2. One isn't even "AAA"
the 360 in 3 years is barely ahead of the PS3 with its "shipped" figures.
The sony bashing didn't even start up until Gears2 comes out at the end of the year.
You guys are right, they are just trying to get it out of their system or something. But..
Ninja Gaiden II ( Xbox360 ) flop
Lost Odyssey ( Xbox360 )
Culdcept Saga ( Xb...
Growth is a bad thing if you don't desperately drop your price and still get outsold by more expensive systems.
So... Sony is pretty much going to end all gaming and electronics..
growth schmowth.
hahahhaa
I could see if it was priced competetively with the PS3, but its not. This is MS's last ditch effort here, there are no more pricecuts in the future, they are going all in and the PS3 still had a remarkably strong month considering the pricepoint. As usual, the software sales are relative to the units out thanks to the year head start.
but the unit that the 360 is priced with.. the Wii.. is killing it. 2 million? Come on folks. Its like yeah, we get it.. a cheaper 360 sells more ...
my $60.00 will go elsewhere.
PS3 17million *SOLD*
360, 20-25 *Shipped & Year head start*
The PS3 is surviving with or without silly flameboys.
I honestly feel like im taking crazy pills here.. I'm sorry...
Is the 2008 PS3 lineup not better by score standards? The same standards used to bash the ps3 library for having flops? Last time I checked, its top 10 2008 exclusives are higher scoring and non-terrible JRPG #435's as well.
Is there some grand news about th...
