- Exhaust, on 11/27/2008, -68/+425Yeah but when GT Prologue comes out... No? Well just wait till MGS4 comes out that'll be the turning point... No? LittleBigPlanet? Okay seriously when KillZone 2 comes out its all over. Yeah or God of War 3... Yeah THEN it'll be all over!
- suntzusputnik, on 11/28/2008, -11/+286my cat just vomited on my router
- projectI, on 11/28/2008, -56/+321Who the ***** cares?
- SgtQuackers, on 11/28/2008, -12/+142Personally i prefer the Xbox 360 but its all up to personal opinion. Its all about what games you like to play. But i do agree that the PS3 needs to lower its price in the current economic situation.
I do hope that the PS3 does well though because competition drives improvement and price cuts. - inactive, on 11/28/2008, -23/+136To all "Who cares?" comments who cared enough to comment:
The console with larger user base is more attractive to game developers and content providers, so people who are considering buying a console for holidays, do care about this. - pimpinkid, on 11/28/2008, -90/+196In my opinion ps3 is the better console, although the price is a tad high.
- Checkerd, on 11/28/2008, -2/+107Try unplugging it, waiting 15 seconds, then plugging it back in.
- josh1413, on 11/28/2008, -3/+102I totally agree with that statement.
- wontstoptalking, on 11/28/2008, -12/+97I hate being a hater (paradox?), but how did the Wii sell so much? I mean, of course it would sell a lot, it's a system with a cool premise built by Nintendo. So that gets it a few buys by default. But why is it so popular? I personally can't really stand it. I'm sorry, I just can't. Bury me for this, if you must, but....I just can't play the Wii.
- replaysMike, on 11/28/2008, -10/+79Funny they don't mention the Wii statistics in their comparison.
- DonJuanAussi, on 11/28/2008, -18/+85These numbers are useful for people with a clue, who want to buy a PS3 in the near future. I recently got one for 20% off retail, because I knew that the PS3 is overpriced for this stage in its lifecycle, and Microsoft has recently put some serious pressure on Sony to drop their prices. Low sales numbers mean that Sony has only one option, and if they do not do it in the next week worldwide, this Xmas will be a shocker for the PS3. They need to drop the price 20% minimum.
So if you are in the market, don't buy a PS3 until Sony does drop the price. They have to drop the price, if they don't want to drop out of the console market completely. - CIAVT, on 11/28/2008, -9/+73This article could have just as easily been titled "DS now outselling 360 2:1!"
- tonicboy, on 11/28/2008, -7/+67You know I laugh at people that actually try to sound like they're intelligent but come off looking like idiots because they have the grammar of a 5-yr old and write massive run-on sentences and think that ellipses are comprised of eight periods......... seriously what a joke buried.
- PRlME, on 11/28/2008, -1/+60what kind of router? what kind of cat? did vomit get in side of the router? what was your cat doing on top the router? did the cat also vomit on the cat5? Come on man too many unanswered questions.
- wrighton, on 11/28/2008, -1/+55Ive heard that works for the router too.
- rednaxela825, on 11/28/2008, -19/+73Do we really need updated statistics submitted to Digg every other week?
Buried because I've seen stories like this a million times. - FurtThePirate, on 11/28/2008, -1/+55That sucks dude.
- inactive, on 11/28/2008, -8/+61The Wii is just a totally different product. Its like comparing two cars to a motorcycle.
- dha07030, on 11/28/2008, -8/+60As an owner of both consoles I have to say... it is best to own both consoles.
***** that, fight among yourselves. - Shuk, on 11/28/2008, -41/+88Better Exclusives: Depends on your definition of better. I'll take MGS4 over Gears of War any day. Most games are for both systems anyway.
Superior online gaming: Only if you wish to pay more, but I'll give you this one.
Superior Dash: Um.. the PS3 crossbar thing is just fine, and who the ***** cares anyway?
Netflix streaming: Maybe its good for Americans, but its not good for other countries that don't have it, or countries that have greedy Telcoms that cap your bandwidth.
Overpriced Blu-Ray movies: Compared to what? DVDs? Blu-rays are just plain better. Compared to netflix? Renting isn't that much more expensive. And you get full 1080p. - ravage86, on 11/28/2008, -7/+51Is the "per week" really significant? If it's per-week, then it's also per-month, per-day, per-hour... why not just say "xbox360 now outselling ps3 2:1"?
- darkened, on 11/28/2008, -1/+41Actually the DS is probably closer to 7:1 if not 20:1
- inactive, on 11/28/2008, -7/+46Mindless drones that do nothing but defend a corporation that doesn't give a rat's ass about them.
- dngermouse, on 11/28/2008, -13/+51NAWWW SON!
IT'LL BE OVER WHEN FF13 IS OUT..!!11!!
over for sonys chances of winning something out of this console war.
The sad part is the wii is still selling ***** loads even though the promised game support has completely gone out the window... I MEAN WHO NEEDS THESE USELESS GAMES THAT ARE BEING RELEASED SO FREQUENTLY.. PLEASE NINTENDO RELEASE SOMETHING WORTH PLAYING FOR MORE THAN 20 MINUTES SO I CAN GET MY WII BACK FROM MY 9 YEAR OLD NEPHEW WHO LIKES TO PLAY WII PLAY OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN
(goes back to regular GoW2/COD4 sessions) - Azerael, on 11/28/2008, -9/+45So you're a boardgames fanboy?
- schavira, on 11/28/2008, -40/+75Wii - Less than 10 good games (and said games are amazing); everything else = gimmicky/license titles for 7/70 year olds.
Xbox 360 - Thousands of clichéd first person shooters for douchebag bros/basement dwellers who wish they had an ounce of testosterone.
PS3 - Blu-ray and a very, very small selection of good exclusive titles but nothing else that's interesting. - khaos4k, on 11/28/2008, -0/+34Because Xbox 360 and PS3 are targeting gamers to buy their system. The Wii is targeting EVERYONE.
- koanage, on 11/28/2008, -3/+37I think Segway is the best answer. Think about it.
- chaosblade77, on 11/28/2008, -3/+35Although that's true, I'm sure the Wii is in it's office reviewing the sales numbers versus the number of high budget games, wondering what went wrong.
- Renton, on 11/28/2008, -3/+35That pretty much sums it up.
- dngermouse, on 11/28/2008, -9/+40the ps3's "top" game this holiday season, resistance 2, will certainly be considered a financial flop, in the 3 weeks it's been released it has sold 400,000 units TO RETAIL.. i don't know how many have been sold through to consumers and i know the holiday rush is here but when you compare to fable2/GoW2 Sony has to be kicking themselves in the ass right about now.
- NathanCH, on 11/28/2008, -12/+42OMG CONZOLE WARS FTW!!1
Who really cares? - DonJuanAussi, on 11/28/2008, -2/+31They are assuming that in ten days time, every household in the developed world will already have a Wii, so unit sales will drop off.
- daPhoenix, on 11/28/2008, -7/+36BMW sells less than Toyota.
The horror. - inactive, on 11/28/2008, -5/+34a bicycle rather lol
- NyteStarNyne, on 11/28/2008, -6/+34I hated the original Xbox but I love my 360. I don't think there is anything Sony can do to get me to buy their product (and this is coming from a die hard MGS fan). They should go back to the drawing board and build a system that delivers on their promises and doesn't break the bank.
Sony - "Is it not nonsense to compare the charge for dinner at the company cafeteria with dinner at a fine restaurant?"
I guess a lot more people like the cafeteria... - Velnich, on 11/28/2008, -3/+31Now imagine if the MS wasn't burdened with the ridiculous failure rate. (just upgraded to an Elite for hdmi after my last 360 red ringed for the 3rd time in two years)
- Commonwealth, on 11/28/2008, -0/+28When I play on a console I can dedicate all my computer resources to downloading porn.
- uberchaoslord, on 11/28/2008, -4/+31OMG Gears of War 2!!!!!!!!
- Elranzer, on 11/28/2008, -8/+34Sony:
"Rumble is a last-gen feature."
"People will go out to get a second job to be able to afford the PS3."
"People are only interested in buying the hardware; they're less interested in the games."
"The next generation doesn't start until we say it does!"
"WTF Xbox 360, is that even a next gen console?"
"We've created the most beautiful thing in the world (PSP)."
"Introducing the SIXAXIS, with motion control! (a year after the Wii was shown)."
"Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiidge Raaaaaaaaaaaaceeer!!" - timrob, on 11/28/2008, -3/+28Yes the cafeteria offers good solid hearty food. The fine restaurant offers pretentious food with minute portions, that always makes you feel like you want more.
- Murdats, on 11/28/2008, -2/+27did you notice he also used 8 periods for his ellipse? have you ever heard of satire?
- dbzssj44676, on 11/28/2008, -8/+32That's because, when an Xbox dies, it has to be replaced.
- inactive, on 11/28/2008, -1/+25put your shirt back on..cats have feelings too.
- poxonyou, on 11/28/2008, -5/+29PS3 has better (and reliable) hardware and a free net service.
XBox is cheaper/affordable (not including Live subscription) and has a better game selection overall.
Both have good exclusives though. - mmijatov, on 11/28/2008, -0/+24Someone here failed the satire test. Come back tomorrow and try again.
- Deathcow, on 11/28/2008, -16/+39Paying to play online = check
Paying extra for HDMI = check
Paying extra for wireless = check
High hardware failure rate = check - Awspire, on 11/28/2008, -68/+90Huh? The 360 has better exclusives, superior online gaming and content, superior dash, and netflix streaming. Face it, if you bought a PS3 you gambled and lost. Enjoy your over priced blu-ray movies.
- daxter241, on 11/28/2008, -10/+31pretty much....i mean whats so hard to understand about a console thats half the price of ps3 outselling it.....if anything its more obvious than unexpected.....so really, this isnt anything new.....
- gh0st3000, on 11/28/2008, -2/+22It's because the Wii is the only console that appeals to people who have no idea what good games are.
