Is the ps3 REALLY doing bad in sales?I just checked vgchartz and it said:
Xbox 360:15.06 million
ps3:7.75 million
Ps3 has been out for half as long as the 360.
7.75 x 2 =15.5 million.

so do a consoles sales climb as the length of time it's been out increases?
if so it will never catch up to the 360.


on a sidenote the ps2 is outselling the ps3.
so much that in japan they're considering releasing a newer version of the ps2.

microsoft completely stopped making their last gen
sony is updating theirs.

It'll slow down, though.

After its first year, the 360 sold roughly 10.5 Million units

Yeah because the Xbox overheats and people don't want it, and the games aren't even that good. The graphics suck because it doesn't have CELL processors and it is too loud so people won't buy it.

This is THE POST OF THE YEAR!

My xbox has yet to overheat, the graphics of games right now are just as good as ps3's if not better. And if you say the games aren't even that good you live under a god damned rock. It isn't as loud as you try to make it out to be either; I can't hear whenever I play games. Hmm and it seems as though 15.6 mil people have bought one; so people will buy it.

1. Overheating problems have been remedied.

2. You sure people don't want it? 360 is raping the shit out of the PS3 in sales. As a matter of fact almost all my friends have 360's, a few have Wii's, i only know one kid who has a PS3 and he's fucking rich as fuck and has the other consles as well.

3. The games aren't even that good? This is coming from the representative of a group that thinks Uncharted was better than Super Mario Galaxy or Halo 3. LMFAO have fun playing uncharted:lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:

4. a) So far, the 360 has been shitting on the PS3 graphic wise. There are no PS3 games to date, save for COD4 (which is multiplatform), that look better than Gears of War, and that came out in 2006. That is SAD. Go ahead and pull a bunch of PS3 specs out of your ass right now that show it has better technology. I won't argue with you if you say that the PS3 can easily output better quality picture than the 360, because i'd obviously lose. Most people don't even give a shit about that stuff which brings me to my second point...

b) Who gives a shit? As far as i'm concerned a game doesn't have to have good graphics to be fun. Wii Sports is billions of times more fun than Uncharted, and i'm pretty sure Uncharted has better graphics. See how far your fucking graphics get you? Nobody would pay 600 dollars even if it could output graphics at the most advanced level our eyes could register. ESPECIALLY if the games were shitty. Which they are. Please stop trying to fool yourself.

5) It really isn't that loud. Thats all I have to say about that.

6) Again, everybody hates the PS3 and everybody loves the 360. I went into Gamestop the other day and asked out of curiosity how long some of those PS3's had been on the shelves. The answer? Months.

I fucking win, and you're welcome.

Everyone knows the primary reason the PS3 was released was to promote Blu-ray! If Blu-ray reigns as the superior format, they will probably make more money in movie sales then they ever would with games. If their primary focus was the games, I doubt they would fuck up this bad.

Why do you think Microsoft supports HD DVD? Simply to prolong the format war. They know it is not the superior format, but they want the format war to last long enough so there is a chance both of the formats become niche. Microsoft's ultimate plan is to be the leader of downloadable content, and become the superior "format". Hopefully this will not happen, because then we would have to probably deal with subpar quality movies, and we don't techinically own the movies, only "rent" them, thanks to DRM. (Sorry for the run on sentence)

Woah did I ever go way off topic!

I love how people like you think you're prophets. If a console sucks right now but you think it's GOING to be good, why spend an insane amount of money on it now? Using what you think is going to happen isn't a very good way to justify what you think you're defending.

"Yeah, I support Hilary Clinton"
"But...she's a bitch"
"Well in 2008 shes GOING to not be a bitch"

I think you guys are also wrong about this. Remember how awesome you said things were going to be, and how bad they turned out? Case in point: Lair.

haha, im not on either side here for I own a ps3 and a 360, but don't go calling people fanboys when you clearly are one yourself.

And people cant really justify which console is better until they own both. With that said I would have to say for gaming wise the 360 is much better than the ps3. I find myself only using the ps3 for blueray movies and occasionally playing uncharted (not to good btw).

PS3 never sold good, since it had no good games. 360 Sold good because it was first and got good games. PS3 is getting cheaper and better. 360 is proving unreliable. No one can predict whats going to happen, expect those that don't care and just play games.

I dunno. I'm torn. On one hand, I really enjoy my 360. I haven't had a problem with it so far. But there is an unacceptable failure rate, which means at any given moment, this thing could take a dump on me. Let's face it. They have a huge design flaw that has supposedly been taken care of. But you can never really be too sure.

I have friend that works at Gamestop and she was telling me that she for about every 3 Xbox360 consoles that she sold, about 1 in those 3 would be returned. That's a 33% failure rate. Despite all the good games and stuff that the 360 has, that is just a buzzkill. I remember when I was trying to go "next gen", I had alot of employees at game stores tell me to go with the 360. So I did.

But on the other hand, the PS3 has proven to be MUCH more reliable than the 360. Even though the games may not be on par with its competitor, reliability in a console goes a LONG way. Also, it looks like PS3 is getting some good titles this upcoming year. Socom: Confrontation may be the game that pushes me to get the PS3 (Socom for the PS2 was my favorite online console game EVER).

What should I do? Huck my 360 and get the PS3? Or just ride out with the 360?

McShady
12-20-2007, 08:29 PM
Dude, don't get a system based on how reliable it is. If that were the case I'd buy a Super Nintendo because those are the most reliable. Buy a system that will entertain you. I chose the PS3 because in my opinion it is a better system and you get more bang for your buck. The games I play are: WarHawk, Resistance, The Godfather, and Assassins Creed. I have some other ones, but these are the ones that take up most of my game time. Also, the PS3's network is free to play on so you don't have to pay monthly like xbox.

Iaretehpwn
12-20-2007, 08:33 PM
I'll say this un-biased. On g4 they said the PS3 had a 300% more sale rate when the new models came out. I think they'll sell even more for christmas. It's only a matter of time until everyone has one. Rather it take 2 years or 5 years. The ps3 will catch up. In sales and games. Time is a factor

first of all...the price went down for the ps3 and its pretty affordable...secondly this is coming from someone who im going to assume has xbox live. So technically speaking you 'never' stop paying for an xbox 360 system. Thirdly i don't give two shits about lair. Cod4 is more then enough to keep my occupied. Lastly, graphics do mean a lot to me.

I have had my Xbox since the Christmas after it's release, and have had no problems. I have one of the first Xboxs (the release ones), and it has given me NO issues. You PS3 fanboy's remind me of Mac fanboys, which the saying "Ignorance is bliss" applies to perfectly.

Suck my cock.

PS3

- Has free online.
- The actual console costs more.

- Has a Bluray player.
- Games don't necessarily need that amount of storage.

- Has the great Cell processor.
- Which is a bit pointless when it doesn't have a great graphics card.

- Lower failure rate than 360.
- Which might not mean much if nobody's buying.

- It will probably have more good games in the future.
- So why would you buy one now?

360

- Live is a really good online service.
- That costs £40/$50 a year.

- Has a HD-DVD player.
- Games are on normal DVDs.

- Has a great graphics card.
- The CPU isn't that great though.

- Has high sales.
- And high failure rates.

- Has loads of good games.
- But it would be handy if you could hear the games over the noise of the Xbox... ;)

Not really. Even people who bought new elite systems with the latest 65nm Falcon chip are having overheating problems.

That's the only thing keeping me from buying a 360. They updated the cpu to 65nm but not the graphics chip, and it's the gpu thatis causing the overheating. Once they actually update that to 65nm (probably mid next year), then I'll probably consider one.

The thing is, if they succeed with Blu-ray, they will have a complete monopoly over what format a HD movie is released in, just like DVD (Toshiba) has with standard def movies. That is way more important, since they have complete control over the HD movie market. With video games, they will always be in competition. That's why they are focusing on it less.

not suprised at all, i don't know one single person that has a ps3 and i know atleast 30 that have a xbox 360 including myself, my xbox broke down right after i got the thing and i still love it. Great games, great graphics and its a pretty good price.

Looking at what is now called "this gen" of gaming consoles, I must say I am utterly unimpressed and dissapointed. I own all three consoles and really, none of them wowed me whatsoever so far.

I dont play my 360 or Wii, and I only use the PS3 to play PS2 games right now basically. Games being released in this day feel all too similar to games I have played in the past. Funny thing is, with how litle I play my 360 (in its well vented area) its RRoD'd on me after 7 months of owning it, and still has the random DREs after getting it back)

Sure, the tech has gone up, and things are visually impressive, but gameplay is nearly forgotten. Some game just completley miss the mark, and other dont make a big enough effort to be different.

Assassins Creed for example, I bought, played a few hours, and just put it down. It doesn't have a lasting appeal. This happened on a lot of new titles I bought over the last year, they just didnt really have a hook. Multiplayer is fun, sure, but even that gets boring.

I find myself only able to sit through series that I loved for the past 10 years. The last game I really beat after I bought is was Silent Hill Orgins. And the next game I am really looking foward to is Street Fighter 4 and I still have a feeling its going to be a let down.

Pointless to compare the consoles, when the games aren't doing their jobs.

And for the record, your flames are useless, for I am surrounded by a shield of TRUTH.

Ps3 has been out for half as long as the 360.
7.75 x 2 =15.5 million.

I had a teacher back in college (business school) who would have thrown you out of the class for saying something that dumb.

Suck my cock.

PS3

- Has free online.
- The actual console costs more.

- Has a Bluray player.
- Games don't necessarily need that amount of storage.

- Has the great Cell processor.
- Which is a bit pointless when it doesn't have a great graphics card.

- Lower failure rate than 360.
- Which might not mean much if nobody's buying.

- It will probably have more good games in the future.
- So why would you buy one now?

360

- Live is a really good online service.
- That costs £40/$50 a year.

- Has a HD-DVD player.
- Games are on normal DVDs.

- Has a great graphics card.
- The CPU isn't that great though.

- Has high sales.
- And high failure rates.

- Has loads of good games.
- But it would be handy if you could hear the games over the noise of the Xbox... ;)

I believe you mean, Xbox Live is free, but you can buy a more premium version of it with more options. If you hear your Xbox over your TV, you need to unmute the TV.

Xbox Live costs money if you want to play games online. Which is what most people want to use Live for. Also, like I said the noise thing is sarcastic, I just had to say something about the 360 having better games. ;)
