[QUOTE="mems_1224"]lol What comeback? It was a major disappointment and Sony's worst console. NineTailedGoku

Worst console? Because it sold less than its predecessors? By that fvcked up logic SNES is worse than the Wii,  and we know that's some BS. Why don't you go play Gun and Hitman Blood Money. Despite being Sonys "worst"  console,  it outsold the 360. Guess by your logic 360 is a steaming pile of sh1t.

Where did I say anything about sales? Nice reach cow.

They came back from having no games and a ridiculously over-priced console.  The PS3 is definitely a low point for the Playstation brand, but they did manage to make it a good console with a good library.

They didnt outsell 360 before the next generation started. Thats all that matters.

No in your dreams they did outsell the 360 last November. 

In reality the numbers don't lie. The 360 had a one million lead over the PS3 by the end of November.

I'm not saying they outsold 360 they could be ahead because of PS2 numbers for all I know, note the bolded part is what made no sense.

It a amazing accomplishment to actually surpass the 360 sales  world wide..Just think about it, the PS3 was release with a 600 price tag and still manage to steal 2nd place from Microsoft..

Sales don't matter if you don't make a profit on it. Sony sold at a loss for the most part and M$ was profitable due to charging people online.

a 6 year comeback is hardly the greatest in history,Kudos to the Ps3 but it's not even what you would call a decisive victory.delta3074

Micro$oft won the battle but not the war..They release the 360 one year early and it was cheap. Dont let me get started how they want to play catch up with the PS3 hardware by releasing another model with HDMI and etc ..The only reason why i say the xbox360 was selling better is because  of that and half of all people who own the 360 have their system crap out on them because the red lights of death.They have a 60 percent failure rate the 360 system.And you know what xbox fanboys do? Go out and buy another one.. Like it or not  the PS3 made  comeback and i never see a system do that before..

Their online service wasn't required to enjoy your game. As soon as they gain money they lose it again, they lost it again with the PSP Go, PS Move and PS Vita.

It was more of tie between MS and Sony. The competition hotted up and Sony are down ~50million consoles from where the Ps2 was. That is entirely because of Microsoft.

Id say it's more because of Sony.  They launched at a high price point and took out BC leaving there PS2 fanbase no reason to swtich over.  I fear that may be a problem next gen as well unless they get there act together.

I believe Sony was just having a fun little experiment. Just seeing what the peasants would do if they ease their grip on the reigns. Microsoft dropped the ball and Nintendo ran away. Sony is back to take what is rightfully theirs. I would say better luck next next gen, but who am I kidding? The game is over and the king has returned.

1st place among gamers.  And soon to be first place among all.  You still have time to join the ranks of the true gamers.  No matter your sins with other platforms, Sony welcomes you with open arms.

PC thumps all of them, but if we're talking about consoles and from the gamer's perspective, I agree that PS3 is in 1st place since it's all about games unlike other crappy consoles.

In sales wise, it's 2nd.

Don't you mean 360, TC?

A console that was supposed to be killed by PS3 in games, sales and graphics, and ended up beating it in any single aspect.

Whoah, ho, hooo!  I've heard some whoppers in my time, but this takes the cake.  Unless you're equipped for inter-dimensional travel (I'm sure its still SDC in other dimensions anyways) then there is no way you could think that is true.

I've spoken with billions of gamers and they dont lie.  PS3 has the best of it all!

Sony fanboys really live in their own world. They really believe the lies they tell, it is just weird. It is like Sony just brainwashed them. In the real world though according to official numbers the PS3 is still last, the PS3 has the least amount of games of all systems, and the PS3 is behind the PC/360 according to critic scores.

That's impressive man, you must have a huge list of heteronyms!

Even Sony admited they failed in many aspects with PS3. Which is good news, since they seem to be doing everything right with Playstation 4, picking the best from consoles like Playstation 1 and Xbox 360.

Its so funny how cows act the victim in regards to the PS3.

"oooh we were in the gutter and then we came back :cry:"

Maybe you've forgotten the fact the PS3 still managed to sell at the outrageous launch price thanks to the fact it was playstation, a HUGE name in gaming.

Or the fact that it finished the generation in last place in sales (now theyre neck and neck, even Tretton doesn't now) and that its still last in games. In fact between the Wii and 360, what does the PS3 win at? Best Blu Ray collection?

Oh I also forgot about Uncharted 2.

So I guess Sony did do something for this generation. Show people that Cinematic Gaming is a thing.

No,  that's the Xbox brand. 360 has yet to make more profit than it and Xbox1s losses.Â
