As I am typing this, I see that the 360 nearly has outsold the PS3 2 to 1 according to www.vgchartz.com. Let's revist the previous gen...to date according to Wikipedia, the PS2 has sold 140 million units, GameCube just about 21 million, and the X-Box 24 million which gives this a total of 185 million home console units. This gen of the 360, PS3, and Wii has sold about 68 million total units so assuming that 100 million units is the accurate number since the PS2 is still kicking, that means we are at about the halfway point of this gen.

At this point, the PS3 is probably going to go down as a big disappointment sales-wise but the big question is that is the PS3 still an awesome system? It won't make a difference what system I would have because I'm an EA-addict. I play football games and racing games such as Need For Speed and Burnout so it won't make that big of a difference in what system I get. I have had a PS3 and 360 before so I know what both systems can do and can't do so you don't have to tell me what it can do. Is the PS3 still a worthy system much like the X-Box was after it became obvious that the X-Box wouldn't win the previous gen?

I see that there is the SDF and anti-SDF at play on those boards but all I'm asking is for a honest answer.

My 2 favorite games right now are Resistance 2 for ps3 and gears 2 for 360. :D Get them both don't be cheap.

this

Was the Xbox 1 and Gamecube still worth buying with though the PS2 outsold them both 5-to-1?? HELLZ YEAH!!!

The same goes for PS3

The ps3 has turned out to be one big expensive failure. No games, and just BR movies. Hell sony has fucked the ps3 out of the one thing that would give some portion of the non gaming population a reason to buy it, its no longer a "cheap BR player". There are now $300 BR players on the market. BR is dying. Its practically dead now except sony and the fantards wont take it off life support.

I mean I could see the argument that the ps3 was expensive because of the BR drive. Well now theres $300 stand alone players so why isnt sont dropping the price like a rock? Also if the ps3s price stays high then that means the BR drive and associated technology must still be pretty expensive. If so then to have dropped the price from $400-$1000 on those BR players to $300 just means BR is dying just sony and the fantards wont admit it.

Some thing fishy is going on there. A sonys really greedy or B BR is dying and they are dropping the prices to clear out stock. And to the sony fanfag nay sayers, well thats what happened to the ps3 the price fell like a rock. But go ahead and nay say all you want morons.

Also good to see you around Burn. The board needs more sane people like you.

I will explain it one more time shit for brains. If the system doesnt sell it gets no games. If it doesnt get games it doesnt sell. Moron.
