PS3 hasnt outsold 360 worldwide for the last 3 years

Another PS3 fanboy argument out the window.
http://www.gamesthirst.com/2010/07/17/ps3-hasnt-outsold-xbox-360-for-3-straight-years/

I never liked the sales argument (why would sales matter to the gamer? Well, unless it actually is in danger of becoming the next Dreamcast that is) but I am pretty sure that the 360 will outsell the PS3 this year due to the 360slim, its selling like hotcakes.

Console sales never seemed to matter to me either, its just bragging rights I guess.

It should mattter to some extent because it does to game publishers which is why EA is adding extra content to the PS3 version of certain games. EA cited the increase of PS3 sales as the reason. Secondly this is the console war section so this part of the forum is all about "bragging rights." Thirdly you cared enough to post in this thread.

Well ofcourse Im gonna post in the thread, thats the point of a forum. But sales dont mean quality, like MW2 had a shit ton of sales but that wasnt a very good game. But EA added extra content to the PS3 because of game sales, not console sales. At least thats how I would think of it to make sense, more PS3 users buying MoH and BFBC2 and such.

Sales never mattered to me either.

Wrong. EA specifically mention hardware sales saying "the box is on fire." Secondly if sales dont mean quality then I guess all those great selling 360 exclusives like Halo and Gears aren't necessarily good by your logic. Thirdly of course you can post but why bother if you dont care about the topic? If you have nothing to contribute to the topic just ignore the thread. Posting in a thread just to say you dont care about the topic is borderline trolling.
Here what EA said. Sounds like hardware to me.

Yet you cared enough to click on the thread and post in it. If you have nothing productive to add to the topic then just move on.

In your opinion MW2 is a bad game but I know a lot of people who absolutely love the game. This comes back to what I said yesterday, the game has to be a quality game if 10 million people are going to invest their hard earned money into it, because games are very expensive relative to other forms of entertainment such as movies or music.

And I agree with Master_Chief, you don't have to post in every single thread in the entire forum, the whole point of a discussion forum is to discuss the topic. Just saying "Sales don't matter" is not discussing the topic of 360 is outselling PS3.

Just to clarify, I''m not saying don't post, im just saying that in these sort of topic, post if you have something to add to the discussion. People like Kendo, EMP and Joe11 have had temp bans because they just posted in every single thread and did not add anything valuable to the topic on hand

well think of it this way
when ur playing a game will u be like
*zomg the graphics and story and gameplay*

or will u be like

*omfg teh sales this game is amazing teh sales uhhhh im getting so hard because of teh sales!!11!1*

sowwy for astereeks i cant use quote thingies

EDIT

btw i was reading the comments through and something i must say is that it is a scientific fact that 99.999999% of the sales come from hype (well maybe not 99 percent but a majority)

so does alot of hype=good games(insert question mark), i dun think so

why not both?

Halo 3 got AAA and insane hype.

PS = Am i the only one who gets hard when a game sells good ??????

jk

LOL @ Generalmld's comment


But anyway, guys you've really not gotten the point of this! Ps3 fanboys have been claiming how they're "dominating". Since the ps3 slim was released they couldn't resist rubbing it in that ps3 outsold 360 on numerous dates and some ps3 fanboys made up some bullshit like it's been outselling 360 on multiple years. Well this completely proved them wrong and also shows that ps3 only outsold 360 in one year of four!

This is great news because by ps3 fanboys claiming they have better sales and using that against us, it shows that they CARE about sales, and so if they do, they've got a last place system.

Oh and also, sales doesn't determine how much fun you have, no. But it can be a contributing factor to how good the system is. If a system sells more, it's more of a success and emphasises how it's possibly a better system. Sure it's not always true, eg: wii sold more than 360.

But considering 360 has barely attracted the casual audience, had almost no casual games and is only beginning to get them later this year, how it's outselling ps3 so much is impressive! Shows how hardcore gamers see quality in it.

ps3 has never outsolded the 360 for the past 3 years,if it did that,why the fuck is the ps3 still last place,ps3 fanboys will make everything up,they are retarded and they will stay dead last in sales as generalmld says

I Agree. And the people who are crying about this thread have completely missed the point of the console war section. And why are they so offended by this thread? Their comments remind me of the kind I hear from butthurt PS3 fanboys in an NPD sales report thread. But but we dont care about teh sales. lol

QFT

At this point in this generation the PS3 probably won't close the 5 million sales gap. I mean even if it outsells the Xbox 360 by a couple a thousand each month, the Xbox 360 is still going to secure 2nd place.

Yeah XD lmao

Guys can you at least say something constructive instead of just saying you don't care about sales? You know, maybe say how it's impressive or something?
Sales don't influence how much fun I have with a game/system but I find it interesting to see one consoles success against another. If you don't why post how you're not interested?

If this is a reference to posts made by me and Jubjub, then you have it wrong on my end at least. My lack of caring for sales came from many reasons with one of them being , I am neutral, it does not matter to much to me what the PS3 fanboys brag about. But no, there was no offense or crying on my end, thank you.
