I'm sorry, but this is a no-brainer kind of poll
Simply because of a certain game called 'Pro Evolution Soccer' or alternatively named 'Winning Eleven' on the Playstation, there are 1000x Playstation consoles than nintendo and microsoft combined.

What's the deal anyway? You used the Xbox 1 logo, the PS1 logo and then the Nintendo Wii. Three different consoles from three different generations. Not smart.

NA FAmily COMP i get

this poll no fair oooooooooooooh!

SeanT21:

I was just posting a General Logo. Anywayz, I am doing a survey. It do not matter if Playstation is owned more than any other system. ITS A SURVEY!!

texazzpete:

Surveys should be intelligent. The Playstation has been out since 1993 (15 years) . TheXbox since 2001 (7 years) and the Wii since 2006 (less than 2 years), yet you're comparing them?
FOr a general logo you should not talk about consoles, but brands. Ie Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo.

Finally, edit your survey. Why include 'BOTH' as an option when you're talking about three (3) consoles? Both only refers to TWO items.

texazzpete,

the console logo should be used. reason being that we are talking about consoles and not the entire company's product.
hope we got an understanding on that.

texazzpete:

Lol
1993 came off the top of my head. You had to do research and make a whole post just to dispute 1 year accuracy?
Pathetic.

Seriously, grow up. .

Just keep running around these forums like some know all master. Even when the truth hits you like a truck.

You seem to be the pathetic person around here.

Seriously, grow up. you gave the wrong info and you were corrected. Seems no one ever taught you something about humility.

And please don't bother coming at me with some pointless tirade, your specialty. You seem to be the pathetic person around here.

texazzpete:


been tracking me, have you? Well, it's a testament to how often i've been right that you've only ever been able to attack me on this one, trivial issue.

khai_khai:

Self deceit, another one of your gifts. I could attack your argument on MGS4 being a system seller, or that most people are buying a PS3 for its bluray playing capabilities. And a few of the other 360 centered arguments you've put forward. But as experience has shown, it will be akin to arguing with a fanatic and hence an utter waste of my time.

texazzpete:

And i think it's pertinent to realise that a great many people are buying the PS3 just as a cheap Bluray player. it actually is one of the cheapest Bluray players on the market now.

GTA 4 has sold 1.95m on the PS3 in the US. That means that there are 1.95m consoles on which mature, serious gamers play on. So why have over 1 million convinced gamers not bought in to MGS4, considering the level of hype? When you consider the fact that PS3 GTA 4 sales may have been hampered by gamers with both consoles getting the 360 version, then the portion of core gamers not getting MGS4 (which happens to be an exclusive) becomes more glaring.

Weekly PS3 sales in Japan rise to over 75k.
The Japanese release of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots has caused as significant rise in the number of PlayStation 3’s sold in the region, with the console shifting over 75,000 units this past week, according to Famitsu publisher, Enterbrain.

Sony’s latest home console sold approximately 77,208 for the week ending June 15, with MGS4 itself closing in on the 500,000 sales mark, with a total of 476,334 copies sold in just four days.

for almost 3 month gtv4 sold 1.95m
and MGS4 IS less than 2 month and has sold nearly 1 million in the us.
WHAT ACTUALLY ARE You SAYING?
OR ARE You DAY DREAMING?
WAKE UP!

texazzpete:

476000 copies were sold in 4 days at launch in Japan. One month after, total sales of MGS 4 is only 600000. Affter the initial spike, the sales of the game has flatlined.
Only 10676 copies of MGS4 were sold on the PS3 last week in Japan. Compare that to the sales of Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G (PSP) that catapulted the PSP for 3rd position to 1st position in japan for over 9 weeks! The PSP has now outsold the DS and Wii in Japan simply because of one game. That's a MAJOR system seller.

I sincerely apologize. I thought you'd be able to understand simple deductive reasoning.
It isn't about the number of months. If 1.95m copies of GTA4 have been sold, it means that there are at least 1.95m PS3 owners that are mature gamers.
Therefore, it means that of 1.94 million mature gamers, less than half saw fit to purchase the most hyped game on the PS3.
All i did was to use the GTA 4 sales number to estimate the number of mature gamers. Naturally this does not take into account the people with both a 360 and a PS3 who chose to buy the 360 version of GTA 4.
If i had used the total number of PS3s out there as a comparison point, that would have included those who bought the Ps3 solely as a BluRay player or even the casual gamers who would normally not buy any mature game like MGS4.

vowiski:

DUMB!

texazzpete:

That IS your standard response to any superior argument, isn't it?
I shudder to think of ever receiving praise from you. At least then i'd know i've sunk to an all-time low. Keep up with the hate, bro!

texazzpete:


bro!

vowiski:

Anyway , I don't believe VGchartz numbers , no matter who outsells who.

Either vgchartz is crap everyday (not when it pleases you) and people should stop approving them alltogether.


npd is where the numbers are!

VGchartz is simply just crap and a waste of time.
