What the frak?
Entered on: May 29, 2009 10:13 AM by RobotSpider

Just saw this chart about console sales figures for the Wii, and it compares consoles sold to PS2, 3, etc.   According to this, the 360 is at the bottom?  I thought the 360 outsold the PS3 (I thought everything outsold the PS3)!  The foriegn market for the PS3 must be huge.  I don't even know anyone with a PS3.  Anyone know anything about this?  Sorry about the low-contrast labels.  Their graphic, not mine.

Thats way off, just released were the numbers that XBOX has just gone over the 30 million mark. You can read it here in the tech section of the USA Today. It also says they have just over 20 million active live members as well. Which makes it hard to believe since it takes so long to find players in matchmaking most the time.

ahh, nevermind.  on closer reading of the text for the graph I posted, they're comparing comparable lifetime figures-- Those are the figures for 130 weeks after release relative to each system. 

Ok, mystery solved.  Now what should we do with this thread?

Is there a graph that shows the number of manufacture covered repairs for each system?

Also, I thought that Xbox 360 is predominantly a US phenomenon (and maybe UK), with only lukewarm sales in most other countries, whereas in Japan, they're Sony lovers, with no interest in the 360.

If you sell your 360 to the game store they'll give you 109 Euros in Spain, and for a NDS they'll give you 90. That's not a huge difference. In Spain the PS3 has a slightly larger following than the 360.

Creeko, you are letting this keep you up at night? Twelve minutes before your post, you were nearly passed out from exhaustion!

OK, now I comprehend, very well put and well worded Bunk. Now it's late and I have to go to bed

C'mon Bunkz - Drinking and Blogging is fun!  But only for the drunkard.  Come to think of it... I am two shots into the wind now.  With the example my brohair and I exibit, you may think that the only thing Europeans do is drink.  You are right!

Yes, I seem to recall some drunken tomfoolery involving Fatty and a keyboard.

However, I don't recall either of you being European....
