Spin the numbers however you want, but you bet your ass Sony was expecting better than that. That is a huge level of under performance.

Oh snap!!!
I agree. So does MS. The proof is in the pricing. If 360 was at least #2 average do you think all these prices drops would be happening? Hell NO!

Sony already said they were sending out more on the blog, but these particular sales don't even include the bundle so its already "much higher" if you want to include them.

GO GET A LIFE OR GET LAID YOU ALL!
WHO CARES if you like Sony/MS/etc... better. Or if weather you think its better or not.
If any one of these are as bad as ANY of u losers are saying then why are they selling in hundreds of thousands?
And IF these figures are even accurate, WHO CARES!
Some ppl like MS some like Sony, and some even likes nintendo. LET THEM!
Just because one is a tad bit better in performance, graphics, etc... doesn't mean it's far superior than the other.
It's what the gamers do with it that makes ANY game/console memorable!
X360 VS PS3 VS Wii = WHO CARES!
PSP VS DS = WHO CARES!
It's idiots like some ppl here that companies have manipulated in such that EVEN these kind of topic gets you all convinced that one is better than the other.
you want an objective/owners point of view.
I personally own all these consoles so here is a REALISTIC opinion.
Most ppl buy Wii cos it's cheap as chips. games are EASY to play. AND it's features are good enough for newbs/parents/kids to awe upon.
X360 and PS3 is pretty much the same. One might have one game that the other doesn't. Graphics on PS3 is a lil better than x360 but X360 has ALOT more games that the PS3. Which is better? GET BOTH!
PSP has better games/graphics/gameplay than the NDS, but the NDS has ALOT more games. both are cheap and both pretty much even when it comes to 'fun' factor.
GOD, now just give it a rest...
