I don’t want to sound intolerant but someone’s got to say it;Most of you are all Fanboys derailing dangerously in surrealist offtopics,and giving shows of a little arrogance,of both sides.Yours are too,in most cases,just opinions.

There are more appropriate places at teh interwebs to start a flaming war about Sales,pals.
This precise article is about how Sony got where it is now,and where could it be going.

I’m not answering back at anyone who tries to engage in an argument because of this claims.

Nice read,like the others.

Well, in my opinion it seems very clear that the PS3 will trump the 360 before the end of 2009. And will probably go on to become the winner of this generation’s war, considering that the Wii might be in a class of it’s own. But most importantly, it might be the console that redefines console gaming as we see it. If Sony has it their way, the PS3 will be more akin to a “one-stop” HD entertainment set-top box, that has something for everybody: games, blu-ray movies, downloadable tv, music, movies, and virtual communities. Let’s just see how it plays out, but i can’t see anybody in a better position than Sony to make that happen.

@ corndog: I’m afraid you are undermining Bruce’s post. Bruce’s comments on Microsoft and Sony can certainly be justified as his opinion. But if you try to make the case that they are based on unbiased facts, then you step into quicksand. I enjoy Bruce’s posts, but I have long ago learned that he is stuck in the spin cycle on that topic. I don’t understand why, but I am hoping that one day he will reveal it — I think that would be the really interesting post on the subject.

Bruce I think telling the truth has hurt some feelings so. Next time distance yourself from the facts. The facts are facts but when a person is in DENIAL or don’t want to believe something. The mind will tell it to attact the messenger or the source. For instance being the one to tell a person George Bus was lying about Iraq a country of only 17.2 million (before we displaced 2 million and killed 500,000) had weapons of mass destruction. Or that they would conquer us!!! lol Remember how people would attack the messenger? If you told your friend you think some one is giving it to his wife would you not be taking a chance? So distance yourself when speaking the hard to hear truth. Remember most of the ps3 fans still think the ps3 has multiple cpus dispite Sony admitting they where not cpus years ago!

No RPG game for PS3 is the main reason why the Japanese not buying PS3

Actually, being european, you are partly wrong.
PS3 sells more in Europe for different reasons than the ones you said:
1 – brand loyalty: there’s an enormous legion of PS2 owners who considered PS3 the obvious upgrade (plus, there’s no “national loyalty”)

2 – quality perception/reliability: for (most) europeans, quality is a decisive factor. And the X360 just isn’t reliable. Microsoft’s approach on the RROD subject wasn’t acceptable. And we honestly don’t care about extended warranties.

3 – Software selection: Singstar and Buzz are huge in Europe and “sell” the console as a family oriented machine. Microsoft’s “Buzz” never had the same marketing. Lips is nowhere to be seen.

other than what the others have posted, make sure your paragraphs flow. sometimes it feels like i’m reading bullets piled on top of each other. you sound like a student who’s rushing a report.

“As it is Sony are now ahead of Microsoft in Europe. Partly because Europe easily gets fed up of a diet of shooters and partly because the entrenched Sony brand and territory management in Europe are so powerful”

All you need to do is Swap Microsoft/Sony and Europe with America…

Ouch.

theres a couple flaws in here…n u fail 2 mention how ps3 soo far has trumped 360 sales soo far dis whole year….but back to da flaws….the problem is not dat da ps3 graphics processor is weaker…cuz its not…its pretty much equal..watz holdin da ps3 back a bit is da fact dat da processor is weirdly designed…soo interms not weaker but jus to different…developers are pretty much forced to werk wit a foreighn processor…but besides dat as time progresses people will say dat da processor is actually pretty (profanity deleted) awesome…once dey understand how to werk wit it….

from da mouth of Hideo Kojima….(bout mgs4)
