Mazty said:Oh totally. I bought my 360 in March 2006, which at £5 a month means I have spent £330 on Xbox live subscription since then. More than enough to buy a PS3 at today's prices, where the online support is free of charge. I have also had 2 xboxes go down with the red ring of death, the first I exchanged but the second one I had for nearly 2 years so had to go and buy another. 360 is not a cheap option. It just has Halo 3.branalvere said:See, I'd say that you are completely justified and sane for being the 360 for those reasons, and I'm not being sarcastic.Mazty said:If no one cares about relative sales, then the PS2 has outsold all this generations consoles but together.BolognaBaloney said:Yes, I've seen the graph, here's a quick update, nobody fucking cares about relative sales, 360 has sold more, end of story. Your one of those sony fan-boys who is riding on the belief that the ps3 will EVENTUALLY over-take the 360, but the fact is, it hasn't happened so kindly shut your gob and stopped bugging out because you feel like you have to defend your precious black box.Mazty said:Are you being simple on purpose?

Anyways, I thought that was good for a laugh, I mean losing a console war is no shame, but losing the console war to the system you are trying to replace.. Wow.

Yeah, thing is, the PS3 is still selling better than the 360 in comparison to release dates.
I think that's the figure that's important and the media chooses to ignore, as there isn't a hype-making story behind it. Either way, the PS3 is hardly loosing any war.
First of all, you clearly need to brush up on your maths and grammar.
Secondly, how can you say that when the PS3 has sold more in RELATIVE sales, considering the 360 had a year headstart.
Don't kid yourself, look at the facts, and leave your ignorance and rudeness for youtube.
Speaking of math, want to explain how a the ps3 is behind by a mere 7 million consoles?

LOOK AT THE BLOODY GRAPH
See that line which is the PS3? It's above the 360 is it not?
Why is that ? Because if the 360 had been released at the same time as the PS3, then the PS3 would be outselling it.
100 weeks (or however many, the graph date is fuzzy) into the PS3's life, it has sold 22.2 Million units.
100 weeks into the 360's life, it only sold 18.7 million units.
Does that make sense? No one said 100 weeks into the 360's life that it's sales were sucking, so why are they looking at the totals sold, when the consoles weren't all released on the same date.
Now stop trolling, and actually look at the graph, understand it, and move on.
Don't be an ignorant fanboy whose pissy that the 360 is quickly crashing to it's knees, loosing it's DLC to the PS3 (Fallout 3, paying for XBL when the content just ends up for free on PSN.), having problems with DVD (Rage), and has bugger all exclusives coming out for it.
You just don't want to admit that the 360 is a waste of time and money, and that it has no advantages over the PS3 which is faster, more powerful, better graphics, better exclusives etc.
Grow up and look at the facts. When the 360 stops selling (which looks like will happen soon with the lack of games coming out for it) the PS3 will outsell it because it's technically better in every way. Not my problem if you can't afford onerm...I hate to get involved in this little fanboy vs fanboy thing, but if you go and have a look at the games release schedules for both 360 and PS3...erm.....they're pretty much exactly the same.
Isn't the reality that if you have one or other of these 2 consoles there is very little reason at present to compel you to buy the other one? For me the reason I have a 360 is because I was able to buy it in 2006 and play Oblivion rather than wait for a year for a PS3 and 360 has Halo. That's it. As a personal preference I prefer the 360 controller, to the sixaxis or dual shock, actually, but that wouldn't stop me buying a PS3 tomorrow if that game I HAD to play came out for it. Where is Gran Turismo Sony? What are Team ICO doing? Come on, make me buy one, I want a bluray player!
It's if you bought it after the PS3 dropped to the £300 mark, then it makes no sense as the 360, with add-ons, is more expensive, and technically worse.
As for the games, there's enough coming out this year to cater for most people, as well as a huge catalogue of multiplatform titles, but does boil down to personal preference.
Say that to 24 million people who bought it.ElephantGuts said:Oh well that is just hilarious.
No sarcasm there, people. Sony wasted a lot of money on that new-fangled and apparently unnecessary PS3. Shoulda made a PS2.5.

Too bad that Sony said that BC didn't cost them any moneyIndigo_Dingo said:Because people wanted the system cheaper. Very simple. So I must assume everyone who complains about lack of backwards compatability all feel the price is too low, and should be higher.aleczm said:I don't understand why Sony would decide not to include backwards compatibility for games of THEIR BEST SYSTEM EVER (PS2) into the PS3.

Oh my God, are you seriously suggesting that anything about PS3 is original? It has a bluray player. That's it. There is not a single shred of originality anywhere else in the whole system. MS are just as bad. Both they and Sony have been ripping off original ideas from Nintendo and Sega for years. You know N64 does rumble and analogue - Sony does dual shock; Nintendo do wii, Sony does 6 axis; sega does analogue triggers, MS does too. Then Sony does as well. Just about the only original thing MS did was xbox live. Sony copied that too.Sony made an arse of it, face it and deal with it. You can at least feel safe in the knowledge that unlike MS, where 'originality' is a sweary word and will result in you actually being physically escorted out to the back of their buildings before being shot by security, at least they tried to incorporate some new tech in to their console. It failed in the short term and in ten years time we will know if it failed in the long term but by then the 360 fanboys will have the XBox 'look at how big my cock is' and they'll be banging on about how their £70 quid a day Live fee and the fact they can play their console for almost three whole hours before they have to phone MS's wonder customer service line to get it repaired.
To sum up PS2 outsells PS3; big fucking deal.
