August NPD: Madden scores big, 360 outsells PS3

I dont believe the $100 on craigslist bs at all. Show us a link. Back your words.

I agree, especally since I'm getting one around christmas season.

the ps3 is worth much more than the 360, its crazy sony sells them for about the same price.

i know sony has had to do this to compete because 15 million people would not buy a $ 600 60gb ps3.

sony has taken the losses in order to try and close the console lead gap, and they have slowly closed the gap by a few million.

ms is smart in selling their console for a price that allows for profit on all 20 million consoles sold.

I stand by my predictions.

360 will slaughter PS3 in America, and will draw with it world wide. Wii will still beat everyone.

I never said the Ps3 was doomed, because that would be silly.

There's always been a disconnect between the Madden-buying crowd and Nintendo consoles. As i said before, last year the Wii version of Madden did even worse and didn't crack the top 10

But the whole bad 3rd party sales thing on Wii is a myth that's been busted, numerous times.

I wouldnt worry too much about any of the consoles, really, this will be a 3 way race to till the next gen.

This keeps coming up. I don't think it would be popular at all.

You own both consoles. What do you care anyway?

Remember this chart only represents North America.

dig dug: ( he goes as si too sometimes):
you are very funny..
lol..

Awesome.

"Even in the US, 360 is not looking very smart, it's still the FPS console, that fails to attract mainstream consumers. (the Singstar and Buzz! rip-offs on 360 are unlikely to change that perception anytime soon)."

In the US, the only console that attracts the mainstream customer right now is the Wii. Singstar does not sell well here, neither does Buzz. I can't say why that is, but it seems to be true... Singstar has been out for months and has only sold like 100,000 copies.

Right now it seems like both Sony and MS are scrambling to figure out how to challenge the Wii on the casual gamer front, while still retaining the hardcore gamers too. I don't think either has a guarantee of doing it... LittleBigPlanet seems like the best chance, but who knows if the average person will get sucked into that experience.

Didn't I tell you to take a fuckin walk already?

n4g is wide open for your kind

Who said 360 has reached its potential? I didnt read that article, and would take that with a grain of salt if I did. And sorry pal, but their is no brainwashed mouthpiece like a Sony brainwashed mouthpiece.

josh- are u another mis-guided ps2/psp/ps3 fanboy??

josh the ps3 did not sell 120-150 million consoles because of mainstream games. its more because of the great sony franchises they once held securely.
gran turismo, gta, final fantasy, metal gear, and other franchises are what console gaming is about the exclusives..
and not the games like singstar and lips..
the ps3 and 360 are not the wii and dont want to be like the wii.
they go after different audiences hardcore and casual gamers.

where do u come up with the 360 is the shooter system?
yes it is true that every cross plat shooter sells more copies on the 360 over the ps3.
yes it is true that a few shooters on the 360 have sold more than 8 million copies already.

but you forgot to think of all the exlclusive RPG games on the 360.
the 360 also has many family games that are not mature rated. more than the ps3.
the 360 has more rpg games than the ps3 now.
what do you call mass effect, too human, infinite undiscovery, lost odyssey, and many other games.
the ps3 is actually relying on the popularity of shooters more IMO now.

see i dont discount the ps3 or make false claims.
i just speak my opinion and the truth...
fanboys do the opposite.

1 billion percent decrease.

not going to happen, these articles are designed to bring out the fanboys.

Other than shareholders, who really gives a crap how many units Sony or MS or Nintendo pushed? None of these companies are going to go under just because they have a bad month.
