You’re conflating popularity with quality. Chevy sells a lot more cars than Porsche too... “

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.

While they may have superior hardware specs (barely, and for a few months at most), they run the inferior Android OS. A bit like a souped up Chevy Camaro versus a stock Porsche Cayman. Possibly faster, but definitely not as refined or luxurious.

"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."

Total worldwide sales is the bottom line, and while Xbox's recent price cuts have produced a sales spike, PS3 is doing just fine:

We'll see how things evolve after the next rumored PS3 price cut.

"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."

There are plenty of adult gamers, but that doesn't change the fact that the majority are 21 or less years of age. I'd like to see a breakdown of Xbox versus PS3 purchases where the primary user is over 25.
