[QUOTE="Heirren"][QUOTE="spiderluck"][QUOTE="Heirren"] No, I mean the original. The Xbox brand only got bigger and bigger as time went by that gen, at least in the US. The 360, while more competitive in sales, is actually doing the opposite--diminishing the Xbox brand.

Please....it all made sense til your last statement.....how can the 360 be diminishing the xbox brand while at the same time outselling both the wii and ps3....it is in FACT still getting bigger and bigger as time goes by.....you do realise that the more Kleenex you sell , the more likely you are to have people who hate Kleenex....It's the price to pay for dominance

Because it is growing in an unproven market--the casual one. Nintendo understands this. Even though the wii was a massive success, regaining the core gaming market with wiiu will be a difficult task. The same market that bought the wii will likely not all return to wiiu.

True... but the wii was a phenomenon..an exception to the rule if you will...but Ninty will still maintain their core along with more than a few cauals who will have " graduated " to core status.....whenever you increase your user base , you stand a better chance of bringing them along for the next ride...it used to be 20 years ago that people who knew nothing of videogames would generically refer to those systems such as N 64 or ps1 or 2 as .,..Are you going to play Nintendo ?? or Playstation ?? they would use the brand name to describe the machine ... Nowadays, more often than not, i will hear those same people say ...Are you playing XBOX....the value of this to MS cannot be underestimated

yup...i'm sure 100 % of athletes at the Olympics would prefer getting gold over silver or bronze, as i'm also sure that same 100 % would prefer getting silver over bronze,,, it's called relativity

I sure your right about olympic athletes too bad they dont hand out silver medals for consoles that tie for second place and that's if you don't count PC sales

I only agree with the "play Nintendo" terminology. The wii was a risk that paid off financially. I know plenty of people that have a wii that has wiifit in it and is collecting dust. If you read about these forums, you'll notice that even Nintendo fans are very critical of what they are doing. The flip flops of ms is not going to pay off for them next gen. The original Xbox and 360 feel as though they could have been two separate console manufacturers--you have to support and maintain that market. Ms has almost abandoned it, and the games that haven't are plagued by dlc fiascos. Gamers growing up with this think that it is okay because they are young and just think that this is how it works. Sony is part of it too, but they are placing themselves in the best position for next gen. They have a steady stream of games coming out that go along with what the original product intention was. The only worry is the dlc situations--which is why I think wiiu may actually end up being a massive success next gen amongst most gamers.

Wow, you're not even a decent troll, pathetic fanboy. Pretty sure the Halo, Gears, and Forza franchises actually count as games. And don't forget XBLA and these things called "multiplats." What's it like to center your miserable sense of self worth around a piece of plastic? But keep trying, you'll reach that golden troll fanboy ring someday.

[QUOTE="spiderluck"][QUOTE="Heirren"][QUOTE="p4s2p0"] You mean 360 since orignal xbox didn't put a dent in ps2's victory.

No, I mean the original. The Xbox brand only got bigger and bigger as time went by that gen, at least in the US. The 360, while more competitive in sales, is actually doing the opposite--diminishing the Xbox brand.

what the hell are you on about? did you look at the last quarters shipments? the ps2 not only outshipped the wii it also outshipped the 360, and the ps3 outshipped themboth combined, and this is actually fact, not some made up bs you just said! owned nerd

The xbox has sold what a couple million more than the PS3 with that one year lead you need to take that into account. Its had more time sell I think we will have a better understanding of where these console are in the standings once this gen is over and we see the final numbers.

Really man??...last year , same story...and when Black Friday and Christmas rolled around all those gains the ps3 made were wiped out ...This Christmas will probably be a bloodbath for sony...Battle Royale ..Wonderbook vs Halo ..Gears ...Forza not to mention a probable price drop....But if releasing the Kraken can be of any help to sony then by all means....RELEASE THE KRAKEN

Sony never lost the gaming crown, they are still number 1 in the console world when it comes to games and quality. In terms of sales they are neck and neck with the 360, most games sell around the same on both, so there isn't a wide margin. But the PS3 still beats it in graphics, free online, cost (it's cheaper), blu ray, and exclusives. Overall the PS3 is the superior system.

But to answer your question, Sony made the PS3 really powerful which is part of the reason why it was so expensive at launch. A lot of people couldn't afford a PS3 so the went with 360 instead, a lot of 360 only owners had a PS2 last gen.

They only went with 360 this gen because their mommy and daddy wouldn't buy a PS3, or they were adults with lower income levels and could not afford one. So you see, they don't really like 360 more, they don't have a preference, they never got to choose.

So now they are all jealous of the PS3, that's why they are so angry all the time. They all want one, but they won't buy a PS3 because they can't afford a second console. So they have to try and down play it so they won't feel insecure about their console anymore.

Not really, you've consistently proven bias, which lends your opinion very little credibility. And do you even know what a hillbilly is? Hint: I'm not one. Its really more of an identification people in certain regions. Keep trying on that trolling, though. You'll eventually be up there with loosingidiot and ispeakfact. Something that you'd be proud of, for some reason.

360 released first and the Wii was unique and something that drew in non gamers like the 360 and PS3 just couldn't do.

I believe that if the 360 and PS3 released at the same time, the PS3 would've outsold the 360 by a small margin worldwide. But neither could stop the Wii. Just my opinion.

Sony never lost the gaming crown, they are still number 1 in the console world when it comes to games and quality. In terms of sales they are neck and neck with the 360, most games sell around the same on both, so there isn't a wide margin. But the PS3 still beats it in graphics, free online, cost (it's cheaper), blu ray, and exclusives. Overall the PS3 is the superior system.

But to answer your question, Sony made the PS3 really powerful which is part of the reason why it was so expensive at launch. A lot of people couldn't afford a PS3 so the went with 360 instead, a lot of 360 only owners had a PS2 last gen.

They only went with 360 this gen because their mommy and daddy wouldn't buy a PS3, or they were adults with lower income levels and could not afford one. So you see, they don't really like 360 more, they don't have a preference, they never got to choose.

So now they are all jealous of the PS3, that's why they are so angry all the time. They all want one, but they won't buy a PS3 because they can't afford a second console. So they have to try and down play it so they won't feel insecure about their console anymore.

The Wii took the casuals, and they priced it so high that the Xbox was able to pick up a bunch of their customers as well. When you could buy a Wii and an Xbox 360 for the same price as a PS3 I don't know why you would ever pick the PS3.

At launch on face value the 360 was cheaper, but it did end up costing more overall with all the things you had to buy for it.

Launch PS3-$600

Launch 360-$400

But in order to get your full 360 experience you had to buy some things

WIFI adapter-$100

XBL for 3 years-$150 (XBL was cheaper back then)

That brings the 360 up to $650. It goes over a grand if you kept paying for XBL or upgreded the hard drive (lol 20GB). Also factor in to those who also upgraded to the 360 slim to stop getting the RROD recently, and you have a system that costs over a thousand dollars.

PS3 you just buy it and that's it. No other costs associated with it.

PS3 has less than 10% failure rate. YLOD is just a name Xbox fanboys gave it to make it appears like the failure rate was as massive as the RRoD but it's not even close.

More like there are only 10% of the original phat PS3s that haven't had the YLoD, but whatever makes you feel better about your purchase.

Any link to that magic 10% you quote?

[QUOTE="clone01"] So you base your entire argument on your opinion? You are definitely an idiot fanboy then. I thought your trolling was coming along, but you seem to be slipping. Takes years of training, and at least 4 or 5 accounts. You're only on your second, so I'll cut you some slack, pathetic fanboy.

clone01

My opinion>>>>opinion of hillbilly plebs as yourself

Not really, you've consistently proven bias, which lends your opinion very little credibility. And do you even know what a hillbilly is? Hint: I'm not one. Its really more of an identification people in certain regions. Keep trying on that trolling, though. You'll eventually be up there with loosingidiot and ispeakfact. Something that you'd be proud of, for some reason.

How have I proven bias? Of course you're a hillbilly. You don't even understand the concept of colloquialism.

I believe your fanboy math is ... off.

Launch PS3 = $600

Monster HDMI Cable (because it didn't come with an HD/type Cable) = $50

3 Blu Ray Movies a yr (which is minimal.. Besides what's the use of buying a BD player if you don't buy movies to go along with it) = $75 ($25 a piece)

PSN+ = $50 a yr (for 2 yrs)

That equals.. $775 on the low end.

You really are dlusional. Fact is, the PS3 is in third place in numerous areas. In sales, software sales AND quantity of quality games, it gets beat by the 360. Not to mention its aging UI, regurgitated controller and inferior online, its just not as appealing as the PS2 and PS1 were. The 360 has it beat.

PS1, 100+ millions. PS2, 100+ millions. PS3... Third place. How did this happen?Second_Hokage

It's pretty sad, I used to hate Sony when they bulldozed Ninty with the PS1 (and stole the FF series). Then when the PS2 came out it was like they were unstoppable. I guess everyone drops the ball eventually. Ninty looked to unstoppable with the NES and SNES too. I guess in the gaming world third time is not a charm!
