hirokazu said:No, because this isn't a big deal worthy of mention outside their financial reports. It's only interesting to people interested in sales-age because it brings some numbers we're missing.
The thread title brought out some defence forces from both sides into action, that's all.
OJG doing some serious damage control right there.REMEMBER CITADEL said:I'm not saying anything and definitely not calling anyone out, but this still made me chuckle.

Though I'm still also SMH at some of the comments in this thread, some of you people need to grow up or quit investing so much into a company that cares little for you.

mujun said:Why is it so hard to realize this is a sales thread? What does that have to do with anything?
Just for you, I'll go OT.
PS3 is the better value console, has the better exclusives (retail), free online, is more reliable, is a better package for the price, etc. I'd recommend it pretty much every time to someone looking for a HD console.
That being said, Sony has done some good this gen in terms of sales, like the achievement mentioned in the thread title, comeback after a shocking start, etc.
They've also done some bad, lost marketshare, came out at a ridiculous price, etc.
Don't take people stating facts as some sort of personal attack, makes you look like you have too much personal investment (might not be the case but it sure looks like it).

And I really like the relay race ideology. That is some crazy (bordering insane) spin right there.

KageMaru said:Don't know about "incredibly well" but the 360 is certainly selling well. I just have an issue with companies making hyperbolic claims and not living up to them. It was a bit premature for MS to claim they'll outsell their competitors WW this year and now it's not turning out the way they planned.
Except they never mentioned it. Like I said, they'll probably only mention the sales in the financial earnings and that.spwolf said:of course it is big deal worthy, and of course they mention it.
Yeah, I commented on that in the original thread about this topic. I don't understand why they never gave actual numbers instead of percentage increase here, and percentage more units there. It's impossible to actually get anything concrete in terms of sales numbers out of that article.spwolf said:most recently we have had Sony AU PR which mentions how they are best selling by volume and revenue (in their own territory).
Sure, but I haven't been defence forcing any one side, so...REMEMBER CITADEL said:I'm not saying anything and definitely not calling anyone out, but this still made me chuckle.

If Microsoft really cared about selling more than Sony, they would have dropped the price this year. Clearly they did the math and realized that while a price drop would sell more units, it wouldn't offset the narrower profit margins.KageMaru said:I'm happy Sony is outselling MS since Mattrick felt the need to boast about selling the most WW at E3.

As has the Wii and DS and PSP.GrandHarrier said:Isn't the PS3 the console that has actually "regressed" in what it offered, from launch? With the removal of other OS, and such.

OK, I didn't know SCEE's been going around saying they're No. 1 in Europe, although I was referring more about combined worldwide numbers. Though them being ahead in EU isn't exactly news, to me, it's still actually getting (interpolated) numbers that's the news.spwolf said:they certainly mention it - but each Sony territory mentions their own stats, you dont get Sony WW issuing PR's. They might not say actual numbers, but they will issue PR's all around when they are first. Of course, it is really important for them to sell better than others.
I think SCEE keeps mentioning being number one this year in every interview they do . On the other hand, we hear nothing of SCEJ and SCEA has nothing to brag about.
But generally, this is huge positive news for Sony and its investors. Japanese companies are NOT doing well right now, with all the disasters and high Yen, they are all posting major loses. Panasonic just posted 5 billion loss for the year so far.

I guess I got caught up in it. Probably because I've been procrastinating rather than preparing for exams. >_>REMEMBER CITADEL said:Yeah, like I said, I wasn't implying that you have, you've actually been one of the more reasonable posters. Nevertheless, I found it funny since you were obviously quite prolific in this thread.
