“Is that why the XBOX 360 has oustold the PS3 every month in the US for over two straight years in the monthly NPD tally’s, and the 360 is currently cruhing the Wii in sales as well, and has been doing that for over a year?”
You’re conflating popularity with quality. Chevy sells a lot more cars than Porsche too... PS3 sales are doing quite well from what I’ve heard.
I will say that Microsoft was smart to make Xbox programming similar to Windows programming. Software development has been tough slogging for the PS3.
Rumor has it that PS4 will more resemble a traditional computer, and will have a more traditional OS, probably POSIX. In fact, such a move would make it easier to port between PS4 and MacOS/iOS - a win for both companies.
“Chuckle!
Nearly every single major AAA hardcore game has sold more on the 360 than on the PS3. You name them...COD MW, COD MW2, COD MW3, COD BLOPS, Skyrim, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier etc.”
And the majority of folks playing those games are in what age group? LOL
Price is certainly a major factor in sales volume, and if there’s one thing the Xbox is, it’s cheap. :-)
Yeah..like the iPhones sells more than the Samsung Galaxys (in the US anyways) which are superior to the iPhones.
“PS3 sales are doing quite well from what I’ve heard”
PS3 sales are ok, especially in Japan where the PS3 vastly outsells the 360. Thee US (which is a bigger console video games market than Japan) is another matter altogether.
“And the majority of folks playing those games are in what age group? LOL”
You'd be surprised..most are adults with good full time jobs and a fair amount of disposable income. You may need to check up on the stats for XBOX LIve users. Live is easily the best video game console online system by some distance.
