still think that xbox live is far superior to the competing services (from what i've heard.)
i have a 360 because it has live. if it didn't have live, i wouldn't have bothered to get one. yes. psn is free. but i've also heard it's terrible. same goes for the wii. and what great multiplayer games can you play online with the wii? (not being sarcastic, i just don't know of any COD4 equivalents.)
You obviously have no idea.. or you're just outdated.
PSN has come leaps and bounds from when it was first launched. It may still not be as smooth an experience as 360, but it still is free compared to 50USD a yr for Live. It is catching up and catching up fast!
Also, I agree there are fewer downloadable games on PSN, but quality over quantity. Almost all the games on PSN are unique, fun, charming and original. XBLA on the other hand, has so much trash!
No matter how good Live is, this is only of significant value to teenage hardcore gamers (xbox 360s primary market) who want to compare 'ranks' and all of that stuff that does not interest functioning grown-ups.
If all you have done is "heard", and not actually tried the other services, how do you have any basis or credability to judge which one you think is better?
Wow, you are an idiot. So Microsoft is the "Evil Empire" and Sony who secretly puts rootkits on people's computers is what? An angel? And Nintendo who is one of the least "green" companies out there is also an angel? You are the epitome of idiot fanboy. These are ALL giant corporations whose sole purpose it is to make money. Sony is nobody's friend. Microsoft couldn't care less about you. And Nintendo is just as bad as both of them.
And if you knew how to read you'd see that these are statistics for the month of June alone. The 360 still has a lead in total sales over the PS3.
And even if the PS3 outsold the 360, what would that mean? That people like BluRay? Because they both have most of the same games even though the 360 has more and better exclusives. So your blatant fanboyism is just that. Mindless, ignorant, fanboyism. Get over it. It's just a game. Pick your poison and shut up.
I don't think they "blew their load" too early, I think that one of the main reasons everything else has outsold 360 recently is due to the fact that everyone already has a 360.
the PS2 reached over 125 million units sold over 8 years. If everyone already has an XBOX 360 what happened to the other 100 million people? I believe 360 has sold through over just over 20 million units in three years.
If they peaked, that's not a good sign.
The NPD numbers show the 360 just outselling the PS2, yeah, Playstation 2. What's wrong with that picture?
Well really I was talking monthly sales, but your right Scott, I didn't see that it was a total. But I really think in terms on PS3 vs. 360. I think Wii is a cool idea and all, but I got really bored with it really fast. I don't think of it so much as a traditional game system as I do one of those old Tiger Electronics games. Fun to play every once in awhile but a little boring. Of course thats just personal opinion, nothing more, and I think some really kick ass games could be made for the Wii. As far as PS3 vs 360, the only reason I had a 360 was for Halo, which got boring, so now I think somebody needs to come up with a new killer game that is exclusive to "win" the console wars. All just opinion of course.

Yeah... i dont really like playstations online. Sure it is free but I just dont like it.
My PS3 doesnt get much use online.
the 360 has had online right from the get go. Everything is set up in a community fashion where it is easy to get your friends together and play.
but it seems to me that there are a lot more people on LIVE.
But a lot of people get wii's and dont use them. i know several people that have wii's but havent used them in a good 3 months.
I think your full of it (from what I've heard).
That's strange. I play my PS3 online all the time. Oh yeah, for free.

I'm so tired of this rubbish!
PSN IS FANTASTIC!
Get over it.

XBL is superior? PSN is fantastic? wtf people.
this is what you need it for. JOIN A SERVER! PLAY THE FKN GAME.
but just so you know. I would rather use fkn DOS!!!!! as the interface then pay for some mediocre bs that i can download of torrents.
p.s Dos is fkn kikass. so is teh terminal!
Yay!! Down with the evil empire (Microsoft)....
Wii outsells 360 nearly 3:1
PS3 outsells 360 nearly 2:1
360 blew its load way too early. Guess there is something to this 10 year cycle.
10 print "f*ck you Microsoft"
20 goto 10

Guys...whatever.
I think overall, this is GOOD NEWS.
Microsoft isn't going down without a fight or a wheel barrel full of hundred dollar bills. This thing is going to get ugly really fast.
And we, the consumer, will win from the elevated competition between the console makers.
Now if only Microsoft could build a unit that was GUARANTEED not to RROD and drop the price to $249, I would jump on board.
by the way Zach...

Zach, don't you mean everyone has a Wii?
The article is about how the Wii has now OUTSOLD the 360 over it's entire lifetime, even though the 360 had a year head start!
