If they sold/are selling so many PS3s, why can't they sell any games?

Sony have yet again passed the 360 in Europe? Good for them! Is this the 4th or 5th time they have done so now? I keep losing count.

EDIT ah its the same article thats been posted about 10 times ...

He added, "Candidly, we're not going to compete with Microsoft on that front, but what we have is a global business here. Our global business is bigger than 360's and will continue to get bigger than 360, and people are seeing that. We passed them in Europe and they don't even exist in Japan, and we're going to catch them and pass them here in the U.S. as well."

How is Sony's global business bigger than the PS3 exactly? 360 has sold more units and more software, I guess the cows are feeding from the same old Sony trough of PR BS.

I don't think they're winning worldwide. I thought 360 had like a 6-8 million lead?

Those are some bold claims. I do agree that sony has a greater presence in Europe and most definately Japan but they really need to be concentrating on America if they want to catch up to microsoft.

Yet the north american sales have kept MS in second place over sony... which means sony is losing out on one of the biggest markets in the entire WORLD.

In your opinion only and OMG that fact you you act like the PS3 has the "best" line-up is comedy gold. The 360 and the Wii have better software sales so what are you talking about? bu..bu..bu..bu..but Gamespot gave MGS4 a 10 so it means it is true. Please, when talking about Sony we do not go by GS. Like I said the 360 has sold more software and has a higher game attach rate. Fans judge with their money who has the best line-up. I know bu...bu..bu..bu..but Kevin VanOrd gave MGS4 a 10 so there

Yes the are. The Wii doesn't count obviously, I mean pfff, and the 360 had the lead of a year. So if you take away the Wii and the 360 the PS3 is easily winning this gen, pwned lemming! :D

The only part I agree with is them saying the 360 is nonexistant in Japan, which is totally true ... But claiming they'll pass up the 360 in the US is hard to believe.

I'm from Europe and in my country Sony has always been the preferred platform. PS2 was very popular and not a single person owned an Xbox. It's something like that this gen. You can get a 360 but you're going to have to look very very hard. PS3 is available everywhere.

And you should. Personally, I couldn't even look at my PS3 knowing it was in last place, but now that Sony has said they're catching up, my PS3 has never gotten more play time.

So if America is stubborn and ignorant (probably one of the better words to spell correctly if you are going to tar a whole nation with a single brush) why is the Wii the number one console this gen and the PS1 & 2 the number one consoles the last 2? ;)

So it is now bad that is it a highly loved series? Also can you link me to where the ODST mountain dews can be bought I knew they did it in 2007 for Halo 3 but I did not know they did it for ODST? Oh wait you just figured you would try to sneak that in didn't you? ...Come on you can admit it that you have no idea about anything ODST but you just decided to talk about the Halo 3 stuff like it was ODST and mention Mountain Dew but you have no idea at all about ODST advertisment.

The thing is that in most smaller countries MS dosent support 360 officially because of ENORMOUS ammount of pirated games.Same with macedonia and any other Balkan country,thats why ps2 is popular there,while ps3 is not even close.

Or, you know, people recognize Halo as a series of quality. Halo sells because it's good. Not just because it's Halo.

Now, of course, publishers are interested in total sales, but Sony wants to show potential, so that their platform is not ignored. And at the moment, I think, big, third party games wouldn't ignore PS3 or 360.

So if America is stubborn and ignorant (probably one of the better words to spell correctly if you are going to tar a whole nation with a single brush) why is the Wii the number one console this gen and the PS1 & 2 the number one consoles the last 2? ;)

(forgive my spelling XD ive always had bad grammar) not gonna lie u do have me stumped on it i have been wondering that for a while now maybe its just a matter of people not being informed well enough or a number of things

Ah no worries everyone spells things wrong and mistypes, just thought that was a funny/bad one :P I think its about games tbh. The Wii has games that appeals to all ages so its market is much broader than that of the 360 and PS3. For them the 360 has had a much better library and was cheaper than the PS3, but now Sony is bringing out a slew of exclusive quality games for the PS3 (combined with price cut) its beginning to catch the 360 in sales. I don't think there is anything nationalistic about it.

Sony's PlayStation business is certainly much larger than Microsoft's Xbox business worldwide.

However, Sony's PS3 business still lags significantly behind Microsoft's Xbox 360 business both in terms of total reach and in terms of attach rate and revenue generation.

Dang it,your faster than me.

WAIW

GeOW sold 5 million. whats your point again?

The question was "why can't they sell any games", not "why can't they sell more copies of this or that amazingly successful game with one title"

Well there is an answer for that. What is one of the top sellign features of the PS3? The bluray feature. used for... wait for it... MOVIES. Yes, many PS3 owners got their ps3 as a sales pitch from retail reps saying "its the cheapest bluray player on the market" and thus consumers bought their ps3 for the sole purpose of playing HD bluray movies.

I'm not saying all ps3 owners do this, but i'm willing to bet a large majority of them are casuals who got the console just for that purpose. You think old grandma is gonna pop in uncharted 2 and start gaming away? She probably just knows 'disc goes in slot, press play' and off she goes with her I love lucy bluray movies...
