The 360 a sinking ship? Seems so.

This strategy of no real price cuts, plus adding more storage to justify not dropping price is going to kill the 360. It's just a stupid strategy. The filthy masses care more about the price than how big the hard drive is.
Then why is the PS3 selling?

it isn't coming down in price any time soon, either - aren't they still losing close to $200 on every unit?
if people were buying ps3 for the games, ps3 games would be, uh, selling

i think there's an okay chance MGS4 would be on the list if they included the bundled software.Nah, it'd be pushed down because then Wii Sports would be on the list. ::)

Not surprised about MGS4. The game doesn't really have any replay value, FOR ME.i just find it funny that MGS4 was supposed to not move any hardware... and then it was dubbed as the only thing holding PS3 sales up... and yet PS3 hardware is still selling without MGS4 sales.
Haven't been following along, but did the 360 have a price drop recently or no?

Yes i am. The console should be selling a average of >300k month by now, and the month after Mgs4 releases it's back to low 200k. Meanwhile the wii is blazing.

i hope you're not being serious. because i'm not.
QuoteThe 360 sold 20k less than the PS3. To me, they are in the same situation, and i am being serious. They are selling like shit.
this basically.
PS3 is selling marginally less shittily (to the tune of 200k this last year (the year of the PS3)), but is the TRAILING console. If anything these figures are worse news for Sony: in their own touted "Year of PS3" the best they can hope for is to claw back 200k of 5m or so? eek.
this is so gay
I would not say that the 360's fall lineup is absolutely stellar either. It will be interesting to see how the 360 and PS3 fare when their fall lineups are ok-ish.
It has big names at least.
..fable 1 sold about as well as motorstorm and resistance did (which also have sequels coming this holiday). gears is the only guaranteed big game. i still think 360 will take back NPD this holiday unless sony cuts price, but it's not like 360's lineup is much stronger.I would not say that the 360's fall lineup is absolutely stellar either.

:lol spinning what? equally pathetic ps3 sales

:lol spinning what? equally pathetic ps3 sales
That right there. Arguing that things are equal, when in reality they are not, that's your common loser spin. Throwing in "just you wait until [future event]", that's the NeoGAF stard style. If it wasn't obvious already that all HD console fanboys were equal berries hanging off of separate hairs in the same anal region, well then it certainly is now.

why aren't things equal then?
It is so unfortunate to also here that the only important software that is coming out by Xmas is fable and gears. ::)
Go on, tell us the spin-free TRUTH about why the 360 is doing so badly. I bet you can't come up with any substantial reason that hasn't already been posted ITT.
why aren't things equal then?
Sales for both systems are pathetic, if one was to look at where the Wii is at. But they are not equally pathetic, and have not been equally pathetic for most of this year. Attempting to argue that they are is something only the loser would do. The 360 even had an even greater price advantage than it typically has had, and certainly it has a games library advantage, so I guess that market has just plain been saturated.

how about 'because nobody anywhere in the world wants one'
did we do that one already
look on the bright side: when 360 goes dreamcast, you can stockpile a bunch of cheap rrod backups, so you'll always be able to revisit the stellar games that drove 360's intentional, premeditated, wildly successful campaign to target only the hardcore and finish in last. like...uh...saints row, or crackdown or something

Obviously, xfags can't understand the business side either. Thanks for setting the true war relying on 1st party games. What is it? Sony's 15 to MS's 2? It will definitely take a lot of battles for the PS3 to win the war, and they have been winning a lot. The war isn't won and lost in a year or even 3.why aren't things equal then?

The difference this year is negliggable. 20k this month is really something to praise?
in the end though Microsofts Xbox 360 is profitable. Sonys PS3 is not. Microsoft has no problems loosing to Sony by 20k or so each month when they make money and the other company isnt. When they still sell more software, and they still have a lead that if it continues at this trend will take many years for it to evaporate. So yeah if anything its alot more shittyer for sony. Sfags just dont understand the buisness side of it. Thats two decades of winning the gen that does that to you

Yeah, I don't know what all the argument is about here. I put in my opinion that there was no good reason to buy an Xbox in July, so I'm not surprised it didn't sell. I don't know what all the bickering is about in this thread now.
If the Xbox sells more, then good for us; if the PS3 sells well, then again, good for us. The only real shit worth getting pissed about is that Wii Music is going to move more consoles than Gears 2, Resistance 2, LBP, Fable 2, etc... combined.

What was always good about npd threads was when we got all the info. Now, after evilore fagged out,with top 10 only, it's worthless. eb needs an insider
Lets just be real here.
I have a lot of disposable income, and my PS3 has one game for it, and like a bajilllion blurays. Lets not pretend its about the games.
Since the PS3 keep getting shitty ports, I just buy all the "big" PS3 exclusives that Sfags hype up. For multiplatform stuff, I always buy the PC or 360 versions.

Actually, there hasn't been a bad PS3 port in a while. All in all this gen has been much better with multiple console ports than last gen was; don't forget that the PS2 market dominance meant that most multi-console games were limited by that technology and the Xbox versions usually looked far inferior than they should have been looking.
Lets just be real here.

I have a ton of PS3 games that get played on a regular basis.
Thinking back, it was actually sad how horrible the PS3 ports used to be. Hate to bring up Turok again, but that was just some sad shit. I only did play the demos, but it was ridiculous how lazy the PS3 port of it was.

You also OWN GUNDAM CROSSFIRE
QuoteGundam Crossfire is so not a good way to support anyone
it's my way of telling Sony that that's the sort of games we want to see....
... this backfired spectacularly when Namco dropped trou and shat out Operation Troy on the X360.
That said, Operation Troy is way better... but this is like comparing the sensation of eating a bucket full of gravel vs. eating a sandwich consisting of screws and razor blades.
QuoteIt's looking more and more likely that Bandai's mecha titles are going to the PSP, if not staying on the PS2.
troy , all joking aside, was nowhere near as bad as i was expecting. Offline it's utter garbage, but online it's short and snappy and the battles are fairly enjoyable.
It's still C grade, but i've come to lower my Gundam expectations and use CH for my big robot kicks. And ACE to some extent.
I would really like to try Operation Troy, but last I checked the demo was removed off of XBL after a long period of being gold exclusive.

Heavenly Sword, Lair, Uncharted, Genji 2, Ratchet & Clank, Metal Gear Solid 4 - bomb after bomb. Every PS3 excluisve game disappears from the charts after being only a month out.
Where's PLAYSTATION 3's multimillion sellers like Gears of War? Halo 3?

there's been an NPD thread every month i've been on this board. nearly 2 years now. or are you just surprised at the responses?
The nice thing about the Wii is that you can buy one, play it for a few months, and then sell it for more than you paid. It's like a rental system of the Gods.Unless you're a dumbshit who bought a bunch of VC stuff. In any case folks who bought a Wii and expected it to be a satisfactory sole console are a bit foolish considering how the 64 and GC went.
They've had plenty of time to ramp up production on these things. It can't be stated enough - eat my balls, Nintendo.
everyone on craigslist wants more than the fucking thing is worth, too
Nintendo has successfully kept up the supply vs demand hysteria going for 2 years, which is obviously working out for them. I don't for a second believe that demand would be anywhere near as rabid had the system been well stocked.
We could take the nerdery one step further and have Media-Create threads.
Kest - I've seen them a few times in Kalamazoo without even looking for them.
it would suck ass to have a wii as your only console.
like owning a gamecube last gen.
Seriously. Can we lock this thread? If I have to read another bone-headed analysis form people with absolutely ZERO background in business or the finer points of tech production, I'm going to lose my mind. No more NPD, ever, please, god, please.
Or you can leave the thread. For every annoying person in these threads, there's an even more annoying group of people who only contribute how much they hate the thread they're posting in.

How is it that the Xbox 360 got outsold in the same month that it also got a price drop, when it already had the price advantage to begin with?People like me buy it for the games, others buy it for blu ray. I love the no games meme. It's like saying the 360 or PC has no games. It's a ridiculous statement.
I don't get it. Who the fuck is buying PlayStation 3s? It has no games.
I heard Europe is Sonyland. I could be wrong.
Also, why is Europe not buying the 360?
#1 and #2 mean shit.
HOWEVER I will agree that Sony have some sort of magical brand loyalty in Europe/Australia. People would buy pieces of shit with a Sony badge if they could.
Thank god for Nintendo. I was getting worried for gaming after last gen, but Nintendo has once again bailed it out. What Nintendo did with the Wii and the DS is the same as what they did with NES. Saved gaming.

Sure they saved gaming for the 10 year old brats and their grandparents but they have done jack shit for the REAL gamers
Also, why is Europe not buying the 360?
Since im from yurop I can answer that:
#1 Its made by MS
#2 Its an American product (not much love in EU for the made in USA products :-\)
and
#3 EU loves Sony
I really dont understand all the hate for Sony in the US but the truth is they make excellent electronics (awsome features, quality made, good costumer support........) if not the best ones (right up there with samsung). Sure the prices of their products are distinguished mentally-challenged and sure they are arrogant turds and most of their execs have a god complex, but the truth is if you buy a sony product, you will be satisfied (well, the ps3 is an exception).
#4 Playstation is an official partner of the Champions League (soccer) = HUGE MARKETING
Anyways hello to everyone :-* :-*

I see the superior game library of the XBox, but somehow even i tend towards buying a PS3 at the moment, even if it's more expensive. And since i am hanging around in places like this, i know that RROD is a thing of the past, and the XBox is safe. Weird...

PS3 fans are like Gamecube fans because of their blatant denial of reality of their sucky console of choice and their WAIT FOR X GAME mentality (lol, ICO, GT, God of War, has any of this shit even been shown and you're already waiting for it? That's Gamecube era Nintendo fanboy stuff).
Sony fans are the new Nintendo fans. That's a fact.
Nintendo fans are the new Nintendo fans, only with less games to play and more bragging about how they think they are happy. Sony fans are the new Sony fans, only without the sales to back up the slightly less impressive line up it has. Xbox fans are the new Xbox fans, except now are into more j-rpg games. PC fans are still superior.

nintendo fans remain nintendo fans, and the nintendo console still hasn't got the faintest semblance of games -- with all the loathsome developments in the game industry lately, it's nice to know that some things will never change. xbots aspire to the smugness of ps2 fans, except that this is totally unjustified by the 360's middling lineup -- and they're getting amusingly shrill as 360 fulfills its last place destiny. sfaggotry has become a nauseating new cocktail -- there's a ninthing puerility in their kittonwy speak, and an xbot cult of mediocrity in their worship of nd and insomniac. pc gamers are the same bearded twits they've always been, and i dread the prospect of becoming one when console gaming inevitably goes up in a moronic inferno of waggle and minigames
you flatter me, but i'm just a dabbler in mediocrity: i doubt i'll ever attain the average xbot's unfailing instinct for the boring, the ugly, and the stupid. it's what makes you xbots -- it's what lets you grind secondhand versions of third-rate designs for all one thousand achievement points and then hit the forums in the full conviction that videogames can offer nothing better. it's what makes you bash braid even when your console patriotism prompts you otherwise. it's what'll drive the evilbore too human rehabilitation campaign in a week or so

I guess you're the expert at what makes up a middling lineup since you loved Heavenly Sword and Uncharted so much.
if you want to go lower than 'xbot' on my scale, you'll have to start liking wii, and even ninthings secretly struggle with that
heavenly sword is better than the credit it gets, uncharted is a bit worse, but neither game is bad.
i don't object to wii as a social phenomenon -- some of my friends are still really into wii tennis, and they don't have the slightest interest in videogames generally. good for them. i object to game enthusiasts who feign or force wii fandom out of pure sentimental attachment to nintendo
Braid is pretty bad
edit:
Ok maybe it's just bad. It is pretty.
HS would have been a much better game with a less complicated defensive system and a more stable framerate+less tearing. The last QTE sequences were gorgeous but completely ruined by the amount of tearing. Also, I hated the designs of the boss characters. They were a bunch of unintentionally hilarious tards. I never felt threatened by them.

incidentally, 'effete' doesn't mean what the word filter thinks it means -- a 'distinguished effete fellow' is ineffectual, not effeminate
