Karl your info is correct but it is for only 1 Q vs 1 Q not as a whole. What you also have to factor in is that while it shows "down" that does not mean it's "bad".
It just shows a decrease over the previous year but still an increase over it's base of "0" in TOTAL sold etc. i.e.
07 10 Million pieces of whatever is sold but in Q3 2 Million sold
08 11 Million pieces of whatever is sold but in Q3 only 1.8 Million sold

+1 & Bubbles BathyJ ~ You got me with that one! lol
@ Sanbert ~ What about a 20gb 360 owner having to upgrade to a 120gb HD @ $125+ a few months ago to be able to utilize the new NXE update properly (installs)? Especially seeing they are an early adopter who has a MUCH higher chance of failure because of more usage on the Laser, additional heat caused by the laser which can ultimately affect the GPU and possibly promote/increase "you know what"? Why didn't you talk about that?
Also why/how is it SONY'S fault a dev isn't ...
I posted this a little bit above ^^^
Here's part of my proof before people call "BS" ~
1) http://screenshots.teamxbox...
Gears 2 cannot be displayed at a 2922 x 2880 pixel resolution on the 360. PERIOD.

Neither can it be done at ...
Remember those Halo 3 & Gears 1/2 bullshots, but yet M$ never gets ANY crap about those huh? Whereas Sony clearly explains the KZ2 video as TARGET RENDER (no lies or bs talk) and they still get the crap end of the stick for being up front & later when surpassing the target video everybody is mum about it. Hypocrites...

The full scoop.

I make a video from a XBOX 360 and PS3 game that was cancelled almost 2 years ago, post it here and on twitter, and the internet goes batsh!t with fanboy rage. This is almost as epic as the last rumourmill with Miley Cyrax dying. I think that was more fun for me though. It was on E news in 24 hours. Its sad that “Journalists” ...
Either way, lets say it is Alan Wake it is definitely the PC version. Confirmed by how fast the movement of the flashlight, gun tracked and how it "felt" in it's accuracy. Anyone can see that obviously from seconds 30-31, 58-59, 1:05-06, 2:07-16, 2:40-END as well as other various parts all throughout the video. I also personally believe it is AW.
@ Unicron ~ "I mean, this is what, the third revision?"
A little more than that http://beta.ivancover.com/w...
Which is fine as the growth of technology allows companies to save money and such but for the 360 it has been more to try and fix an ongoing documented issue. Whereas Nai's comment applies to 1 MAYBE 2 model versions of the PS2 for "fixing problems&quo...
Minister what about all the revisions of the hardware? How many in total are those? I think that is what Le Idiotce meant to imply with that crazy "amount" not SKU's as he said it.
Every single FULL Gran Turismo title has had R33's, GT5 will be the same no doubt about that. It is too iconic for it to be left out. The only non-full Gran Turismo games to have an R33 was the GT Tokyo-Seoul/Geneva's & the GTHD PSN Demo (not to be confused with the GT5P Japanese only demo) which would/could infer it's confirmation of it being in GT5 Full.
The only GT games to NOT have an R33 have been the 1 GT Concept Tokyo (Tokyo-Seoul & Tokyo-Geneva had them), the 2 Di...
And use it to browse the web ~ free
And use it as a PC with Linux ~ free
And use it to help cure diseases ~ free
And use it as a News reader info source ~ free
And use it as streaming media decoder/player ~ free
And use it to...well you get the drift ;)
You hit the nail right on the head Cajun with this comment ~
"I'm personally far more disapointed in the tiny steps that Microsoft made from the XBOX to the 360. Its not that much of a leap. Graphical from XBOX, yes, everything else, no. Not much real development. Bit of a back step with the harddrives also."
I have been saying that since before the PS3 launched and more so after it did. I can go on a nice long rant but what Apocalypse posted a little bit a...
@ Chris_GTR1 ~
So because Apocalypse posts truthful, valid, information of which you can't deny; you attempt to try and bring him down a notch by insulting him huh? Sounds/Seems like you are the only fanboy here. Especially when your information is absolutely wrong. Lets take a look at how many times you are mistaken right here okay?
"they said the same thing about the ps2 having a 10 year life cycle also. ps3 came out 2 years ago... so in reality the ps4 will b...
Wrong again. Please try and learn how to improve your READING COMPREHENSION
You state
"since we are to include ALL console sales, even last gen ones like the PS2"
I didn't state ANYTHING about "last gen". I said CURRENTLY - SELLING - CONSOLES = NOT PC, NOT LAST GEN, NOT ANYTHING ELSE. Your weak attempt to twist my words won't work here buddy. THE FACT IS ~
Sony's Playstation line sells/includes 3 CONSOLES - To the public ...
"Microsoft Need Halo, Sony don't Need Killzone
The fact is Microsoft NEED Halo, without it they wouldn't even be in the console wars. Sony have so many franchises that don't rely heavily on one. Killzone is basically another major cog in Sony's wheel. Halo is Microsoft's wheel"
+1 & Bubbles @ Sabre G. That has to be without a doubt the absolute BEST description & analogy to the situation. Great post Saber. Very poignant and truthful.
If...
Nope. You got it wrong. Kaz is right and the article is absolutely wrong. If you go by all available GAMING CONSOLES sold it looks like this
1st and/or 2nd Sony ~ PSP, PS2 & PS3
1st and/or 2nd Nintendo ~ DS & Wii
3rd Microsoft ~ 360
Why is it people omit/forget there are MORE THAN 3 being sold to the public? The article claims it is a "3 horse race" when in reality it is 6. THIS IS FACT people, not "fanboy" BS, no matter what A...
+1 Fig. I myself want MORE from a console not LESS. Something that will LAST as well as have LONGEVITY in it's design. Sorry to those of you who settle for less...I have come to expect (and receive) more from Sony over the years. EVERY model of console they have provided has done this ~ 100% confirmed. You buy "cheap", you get "cheap"...you buy "generic", you get "generic", you settle for outdated tech with no innovation - well you get what you support....
^^^^^Misinformed biased lies and absolute BS^^^^^
Please pay no attention to him and the others....How is it the can easily complain about a less than 1% failure rate but not about RROD? Amazing huh?! F'ing hypocritical fake gamers need to STFU.
You don't know what you are talking about. Americans have the right to bear arms as a deterrent to oppression by the government. It's not about "amassing" anything or somehow comparing it to "cold war mentality" BS. So while the literal states
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
And this encompasses protection of oneself in thi...
Damn Apocalypse Shadow are you reposting my thoughts & comments for the past 2-3 years or something? lol! Anyway, that is EXACTLY what people don't seem to comprehend, grasp or tend to omit when looking at the broader picture....EVERY time I have had a similar discussion about those same points you never get a true reply back of understanding. It always relegates down to "fanboy this" or "Console Y iz teh leetzorz"
Either way, great post and proper informa...
