haha good to see the last gen PS2 pwning the next gen 360. haha. suck ***** 360 fanboys. PS3 FTW!!

Strap yourselves in!

Oh this thread is gonna be a fanboy wankfest! Full of "see! Thats why my system is better than yours"-willy waving. Its summer dip*****s, no-one cares about the figures at this time of year. I'm off.

hehe

psp owned?!?! selling less units maybe...not being owned...loser! u wanna see owned look at ps2 vs lamebox 1.5...thats OWNED! "next gen" vs this gen....very sad...psp sales are growing the uber old ps2 is still selling strong...AND THE PS3 ISNT EVEN OUT YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...Sony owns

Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics

The article says, "[T]he Xbox 360 has actually sold less than the Xbox did in the same timeframe." But I'm wondering where this fact came from... according to the numbers posted, the 360 sold 206,000 while the regular XBox sold 12,000. Am I missing something?

Re: #10

I mean that the Xbox 360 between November 2005 and July 2006 sold less than the Xbox between November 2001 and July 2002. Sorry for not being clear.

hm

Well, just goes to show you, cheap systems will sell well. Ps2 wouldn't be at the top of the charts with a big price tag....most ppl are gonna shell 600 bucks over, the sales will show that. 360 is selling pretty good when you look at its price.

.

hmmm... whats the perfect way to make myself look like a retard..? OHH I know....... PS3 FTW!!

Why?

I have a nintendo and psp but the psp is way better and that means obviously George Bush is buying way too many Ds's ...................*****.

uhh

Why are you acting like this is the end of Sony? Check this out GCN = 44,000 now shut up, cause look whos in 2nd place and has been in first sence 1999, PS2. And looks whos been in last place sence the release, GC. "most ppl are gonna shell 600 bucks over" PS2 was released at $500.00, and it was extreamly hard to get for a good half a year. And people were buying them off people for 1,000+ dollars. The PS3 is not gunna sell bad because its a little pricey.

#16

PS2's launch price was $299.99, not $500.

360 LOL

360 is soo fricking dead! Go to hell Microsoft your flop box has flopped as bad as your OS. 360 is dead even before PS3 is out!! Console war is over! 1.PS3 2.Wii 3. DS 4. PSP .... .... 5. Flopbox 1.5!111!!1!1

Haha

Can't believe many of you are fussed over the sales figures! Cheaper consoles are obviously gonna sell more right? Unfair contest i say.. They should sell em at equal price so the results will be more accurate!! In my dreams that is! Saying that, (just to join in for the flaming!) I'm a big of a Big N fanboy! The DS rocks, and the Wii is gonna be class with its fancy controller! - Still wanna play MGS4 and Oblivion though.. :(

Still the sytem gotta have potentials for game makers to invest in it, Sony better grab this chance or they gonna be at the bottom of the gaming industry... Ill show my support by saving up and buying the 60(?)gig ps3, also... darn nintendo lovers... I don't know why but all the dumb kids at the middle school have 2 gbc (wtf sell it already) 2 gba, a gbasd, 2 gba micro and a nds, and a ds lite... Don;t they know nintendo is ripping them off? gbasd was totally unnecessary, and who the hell needs a gba micro? these people are dumb morons! combine all the cost together thats a psp right there... but they are too dumb, officialDS games aren't as good as psp games also... thats the strategy of nintendo, if you dumb nintendo fanboys and fangirls wanna fall for it, go ahead, stick with your low potential DS while we get everything developed for psp. also, because of how expensive ps3 is going to be, I would say it might not even outsell the 360... well ofcourse that is just a guess, and all you ps3 fanboys outthere better go out and buy a ps3 at launch day! we dont want the 360 to beat us right? lol... I'd say is your ego keeping you from joining both sides, I am fine with having a ds and a psp, but cmon, some dumb ppl stand there guarding their ds like a god and dissing on the psp, even tho they know they lost(yes im serious) they still won't give up, persistent losers. I'm not saying ds sucks, I'm just saying you guys are dumb for fighting over it...

oh also

Yes, I can post again.. anyways, you guys know why DS sells more? I know people who are blue collar and below, their kids are owning 2 DS... and most psp owners only have 1 psp . [joking!]Oh and heres a kicker, that just shows how easily DS breaks and those people have to go out and buy another one[/joking!] lol that was just a joke ok?

Yup

well i guess the PS3 does need that 60 gigs anonymous stranger.....becuase you have to save all your music onto it... unlike 360, where you can stream all of your music (and photos) from your computer to your 360....without taking up any memory at all.....

well

I'm sure Sony gonna copy that too and allow you to stream stuff from your PC, like one of those location free player for pc or something like it.

I can post again!

Also, hey most people's PC don't even have 30 gigabyte(no not everyone's as rich or devoted to PC as you are), stryder... so yeah, I don't see too much point in streaming music from small storaged PCs anyways,

Hmm

Let me put this in perspective. First of all, the xbox 360 is $400 the controller is $50 games are $60 for the most part. the ps2 is $99 on amazon.com a dual shock is $20 bucks most games are $30 and below. Price of Xbox 360 with game and extra controller: $510 + Tax A PS2 with game and extra controller: $150. I don't feel like bringing out the PS2's end of first year figures...but I'd imagine that they were much lower than the 360. 360 games are constantly the top sellers of the month... SO if you're a Sony fan....making fun of MS, then you can eat it. Gamers spent more than 3 times as much money on Microsoft than Sony. On top of that, most games that are sold for the PS2 are pre-owned...Sony doesn't see a dime from that. 360 games are not as numerous, so most copies are purchased brand new. I'm not even including LIVE on this. -------- On the other hand. The PSP is doing really well compared to the DS. This is when the PSP has a losing UMD format, mostly lackluster games, and a huge homebrew community (and a lot of those guys pirate ISO'. I'm not talking about people on this site though) I'm surprised the PSP is doing as well as it it. Japan caught on fast that the DS was for REAL gaming (flame me I don't care, I owned a PSP, I got sick of playing crappified ports) ...and the psp sorta got left behind. Even at last years E3 Sony hardly promoted the PSP...and yet it keeps on chugging. If it wasn't for the homebrew community, Sony would be screwed. The people that don't make ISO loaders and all that...those are the only people keeping the PSP from falling into obscurity IMO. Anyway. These numbers are pretty telling, MS is really picking up the pace. I can't even imagine the money they are making with LIVE.

Xbox

Just look at the difference in price between the Xbox 360 and PS2 plus the huge library of games the PS2 has over the 360.You think thats bad just wait till the PS3 comes out, GO MICROSOFT!!!!!!!!!

even the GBA

is kicking the PSP butt. GBA = 163,000 PSP = 161,000 bwa-haha

MS fans give up

the article said that the 360 is selling worse than XB1 so why are you happy?LOL PS3 is gonna burry your asses down the drain with DSlite.

#18 you idiot

First off of course cheaper consoles will sell more than expensive systems and to say Windows has flopped LMAO... ..considering oh i dont know probably 85-90%of computers Worldwide use Windows.. So if thats your definition of flopped.. I sure wouldnt mind flopping then. I think i could live off of $50 billion.. you tool!

hhahah

23. » well I'm sure Sony gonna copy that too and allow you to stream stuff from your PC, like one of those location free player for pc or something like it. No....your incorrect....360 uses a program called Windows Media Connect that works with Windows XP to stream media. I can gurantee Sony will not have that feature.... Well, they may ome up with something like a Location Free player....Except it wont be free at all...

STFU

STFU DS FAN BOYS. SALES DONT MEAN CRAP.

Ummm

Yes sales ARE worth something, they determin, ya know, IF IT KEEPS GETTING SOLD? If you make mroe selling something else, then you wanna sell that. If you cant understand that, then you are pretty uneducated. Developers are also gonna move to the bigger fanbase, so they can make more money... its a simple as that.

d

xbox 1.5 is dead

god you people can be so immature

here's a few bits of information: 1. the GameBoy brand has been around for practically 20 years. Nintendo has crushed every competitor that has entered the handheld market, exept Sony and the PSP (R.I.P. Game Gear, Atari Lynx, Neo Geo Pocket, Wonderswan, N Gage). 2. the Playstation Portable has been around for *one* year, and yet still manages to hold it's own against the monopoly of the handheld market that Nintendo has had for said 20 years. the PSP is *not* trying to compete with the DS. Nintendo and Sony have two totally different markets (for Nintendo, it's the 8 to 17 year old market. for Sony, it's the 18 to 30 market. there's no conflict there except for the one fanboys love to create). 3. the PS1 has sold 100 million units. the PS2 has sold 100 million units *and counting* in half the time as it's predecessor. the N64 sold 40 million units. the Gamecube sold 25 million units. Nintendo's hardware sales have been increasingly dropping since the SNES days (the SNES sold 60 million units). this trend can be attributed to the fact that most of it's fanbase from the 80's (that would be me and the other over 20 somethings) grew up, got jobs, girlfriends, fiances, wives, etc, and our desire for more gaming content geared towards our age group. for nostalgia, go Nintendo, for adult oriented gaming, go Sony or Microsoft. 4. in it's first year, the PS2 sold 10 million units. it's the reason why Microsoft wants to have 10 million units available to the public by it's year mark. the problem, is that Microsoft doesn't have the brand loyalty of the masses that the Playstation has. blame it on the fact that Microsoft monopolizes the PC industry, and most folks across the globe view them as an evil, controlling corporation. not to mention the numerous issues that Windows has, and the tactics MS uses to get you to upgrade ("if you want to play cutting edge games like Crysis the way they're meant to be played, you'll have to buy Windows Vista!"). Sony has a history of making quality consumer electronics, and since they entered the gaming industry back in 1995, they've earned the trust and respect of gamers by having the games we wanted to play available only on their systems. 5. it needs to be accepted that the X Box 360 has failed miserably in Japan. it's just a fact. and because of that fact, Microsoft will *NEVER* be number one. at least not in this upcoming generation. unless they somehow manage to completely destroy Sony. but due to low trust with consumers, and the uber-strong and gigantic userbase of the Playstation brand, don't count on it. it's not a knock against the 360, it's just the facts. without the support of that key area, the 360 can't be number one (and before i get flamed: Devil May Cry, Metal Gear Solid, Contra, Super Mario Bros. Zelda, Metroid, Final Fantasy, Ninja Gaiden, Kingdom Hearts, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Dragon Quest, Castlevania, DOA, Tekken, Virtua Fighter, and Street Fighter were all created by the Japanese. they are just as vital to gaming now as they were since the NES era).

Microsoft are thieves

It is true you can stream media from your PC to your Xbox 360. But here is the kicker you have to buy the Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter which retails for $99.99. Why the hell should a person have to pay 100 dollars for Wi-fi when the PSP and DS bring it included for free. Also why the hell are Xbox 360 faceplates $19.99 a piece. You should be able to get 5 for that price. Microsoft doesn't care about its customers they just want your money. Nintendo is a little bit like Microsoft with the whole remake of the DS. Just my 2 cents.

to ???

I respect that, That is a valid point. But in my case, I had to buy a WiFi apadter anyways, my room is on ther other side of the house away from my router....so things just sorta worked out for me.... but that is how it should be for every system....PS3 is going to be a good system, But (this is a educated opinon), Sony is NOT going to focus on online play as much as Microsoft....sorry, but that is a fact. Sony is going to focus on bringing the ultimate all in one entertainment system, nothing wrong with that. For me, I enjoy online play much more than single player, it doubles/triples the replay value.... Its all about finding the system right for you, PS3 is a safe choice for nice import games and a good Single player expiernece. Microsoft is focused alot more to the Online world....while Wii is going to be focused on pure games, and innovation.... all systems have somehting to offer different consumers, and it shouldn't matter who sales more than what, just that you get what you pay for.

360 streaming?

You do not have to purchase a wireless adapter for the 360 to stream media, I am wired and do it all the time. Those who buy faceplates have no creativity in creating their own with what they have. You can paint this white plastic many colors, make your own! I own all past consoles and will own the new ones. Each system has its good and bad points but they all have some descent proprietary games also. I don't care who is the best, I just want to play games, damnit!

To Strider

Thank you for reply. I guess you are right all consoles have their ups and downs. Its the games that matter.

Re: STFU DS FAN BOYS. SALES DONT MEAN CRAP.

It's funny how you say sales don't mean anything now that the PSP is being outsold by the DS. I seem to recall a few occasions where the PSP outsold the DS and the Sony fanboys were jumping for joy proclaiming Nintendo to be dead. Honestly why are Sony owners so bloody insecure that they have to call the DS ***** all the time? They must be really worried about the sales to be talking like that all the time.

Nintnedo is gay

Nintendo over produces sh*t thats why they have more sales. Sales does not go buy the ammount of sales it goes by how many they ship out. And everytime I go to the store there is way more Nintendo consoles then there needs to be. And GBA's sales are not impressive. They are on there 4th version of the thing. They combine the totall for every modell of GBA. Those sales suck.

bryan is ignorant

These are real sales. They're tracked by NPD. Shipments is what Sony uses. Nintendo uses NPD numbers. NPD numbers are real numbers. Wake up and smell the flowers, NDS sold more than PSP. Anyone find it funny how the amount of PSPs and GBAs sold in the USA in one month (and DS before the Lite launched) is about the same amount of DSes sold in Japan in one week?

Why do people argue about this crap?

What does it affect you if one system wins over another, giving a multi-billion dollar megacorporation even more millions of dollars? If you like the games on one system then that system wins WITH YOU Or maybe #37, they just don't know how to paint? Would you rather have a proffesional $20 faceplate that looks great, or would you like to buy $50 in paint only to make the thing look like sh*t?

...

Frankly, you guys are idiots to argue about things like this. I can't say I didn't expect this when I looked at the comments. Jeez, what do you care what other people think about systems? Let's take PSP vs DS for example. Person 1 says: omfg ds pwnz it mai favorite!!!1111!!11 Person 2 says: omfg psp pwnz it mai favorite!!!1111!!11 Person 1 says: psp suks Person 2 says: ds suks Now.. looking at this example we can form a conclusion that you are determined to say other systems in the market "suck" compared to your favorite. That forms all this useless nonsense. So, you like the DS, eh? Fine, I like the PSP. Conversation over. Oh, and personally.. I like the PSP.

If Sony is so great then why is it that when my Playstation died it was sent alll the way to England to be fixed!! i live in Australia damnit; it should have been fixed here???? any how 4 weeks later i got it back in the mail and when i took it home, it didn't work???? I thought to my self (this must be how the Japs are paying the white man back for hiroshima and nagosaki) Any how in a rage i opend the damn thing and i noticed that all the parts inside were kind of rusted and torn and loose etc. I immediatly rang Sony and they said: talk to the Sony representative who is coming to one of your local game shops. So i went there with my parents, and boy did that arogant morone get a flaming in front of the public lol After that i converted to Sega Dreamcast then the same thing happened with them (: but when i bought my XBOX. I used to play that beautiful piece of machinery all day and all night long for weeks long and no problems whats so ever lol Suck on that Sony and Nintendo ahahha.
