Also, if I'm reading the article right, it looks like it's only Japanese sales that are being reported. Everybody knows sales in Japan for the Wii and PS3, especially sales shortly after launch, are going to be much higher than the 360. Yes, that is correct, Branden posted an article regarding Japanese sales only. I don't think he realized what the data demographics were. But, if the PS3 got as many to the shelves before Xmas as reported, then they will have out sold the 360 during its first two months by a very good figure. Now, that isn't saying much because MS had big trouble producing them enough to keep up for almost the first 4 months. Sony looks like it may be doing better at getting the production up for the same period. |

Xbots grasping at straws, again!!!
Sammy Muttonhead "unimpressively" said:
Isn't this EXACTLY what has been repeatedly pointed out by various devs? And by various devs you mean Xbox devs or Multi devs like EA right? Same thing happened last generation. I told all you dumb****s that the PS2 was more powerful than the Xbox in a few areas yet no one listened. But companies like Konami and Criterion also pointed out exactly what I said and they proved it with games. (MGS2 still doesn't run worth **** on Xbox and GT4 not only still looks better than any racing game Xbox will ever have, it's 60fps @ 1080i) Now there is no way the PS2 could do many of the exclusive Xbox games. They are using pixel shaders and high quailty textures for things like normal mapping which requires a lot of gpu intensive math. I'm not saying the PS2 is more powerful than the Xbox overall, I'm just saying it iS more powerful in a few areas. It's framebuffer and fillrate not to mention floating point math hardware helps out a bit too! Please listen to me this time and don't make a fool of yourself again. Both consoles will have strengths over the other. This time around the Xbox360 has the framebuffer and possibly fillrate advantage, but it lacks in just about every other area. (As if the Xbox360 could pull off resistance or motorstorm... lol) |

PS3-X360 developer spills his experience: ATI Xenos GPU in X360 is superior to Nvidia RSX in PS3 for graphics rendering
Aye, so thats why multiplatform games are superior on 360...

Just an educated guess though, I do not have time to dig the numbers for you (you do that, if you have to). GT But the fanboys would use that as a stick, doesn't matter how exact it is, as long as it backs up their arguments. Pity some of them can't spend more time playing and less time searching for tidbits on the net. (Note is used the tidbits spelling in case any of them got any funny ideas and we had to put up with shaky writing?) I get Google alert emails for certain subjects, PS3 being one of them. It was one of the few headlines talking about sales. I found it interesting that Blig hadn't seen it yet and posted it to holy hell, so I used it. I spend more time playing games than on here now that I've gotten a PS3. |

I only posted it as a joke, I wasnt trying to troll it. I didnt even read the article. (i have now) I read the headline during my morning email routine, and when i came across Android's post, i throught it in there blindly. I gladly retract. |

Shame your PS2 didn't provide you with much entertainment before, I just hope the PS3 doesn't go the same way :-) |
