Those two should be armed with nothing but their respective consoles controllers and fight to the death.

I just hope the the ensuing video won't be exclusive to xbox live gold members. Although that could get me to sign up.

They're already planning it. That's why neither of the companies are mentioning the Wii: they've seen what a wiimote would do in a fight.

JizzyB, it will be, but it will release on a Friday so silver members will get it just about as soon as PSN members (who have to wait for the Thursday update) get it anyway.

PS3 are like 13 pounds. Man that could some MASSIVE DAMAGE.

If they fight with consoles does the Greenberg get to swing around the power brick like a mace?

I happen to know for a fact that the Xbox360 controller breaks more easily into razor sharp shards of hard plastic than does the PS3 controller.

Warning to Sony fanboys: don't bring a controller to a razor sharp pastic shard fight. You WILL get cut, sucka.

He is referring to the US sales right? PS3 is pretty close everywhere else (not UK) wouldn't take 5 years for sure except for the US.

That's my guess. If you double ps3 sales worldwide and keep 360 flat, PS3 catches up in about a year. PS3's done better in the first two years than the 360, so doubling the PS3 sales is basically giving the PS3 that year that it lost, and it would definitely be a very close race at that point.

Ok, so i says to Kaz:

Even if Ps3 catches up, we all go out and by one, (i repurchase one etc.)then what?

How many movies can we possibly watch? *badum dum!*

Thank you, thank you! Im here all week! Don't forget to tip your bartender.

"I can't imagine any scenario where the PS3 can catch up with us. In fact, even if you doubled the current PS3 sales and Xbox 360 remained flat, they couldn't close the gap until 2014."


Seriously!?!?!

I could sworn that the PS3/360 gap was close from 13 million to around 8 million.........if that was double(by say a price drop on the PS3) and the Xbox 360 stays flat(by not dropping its price) I would beg to differ that it would take until 2014 to catch up.....maybe mid 2010.....

one thing is for certain....this has turned into a 7 yearold kids playground war.....

"mine is bigger...."
"Nuh-uh mine is"
"no I said Mine, and my dad said your mother smells like fish"
"You dad would know he is always eating fish...."

Dude, you should REALLY try this math thing.

We'll use September numbers, since Nov/Dec are all screwy because of the hollidays (plus the 360 outsold the PS3 2:1 in those months so even doubling the PS3 sales they would never catch up).

In September the 360 sold 350,000 units, the PS3 sold 230,000. If you double the PS3 sales it's 460,000, the 360 stays flat at 350,000, so that leaves a difference of 110,000 the PS3 gains each month.

Last I saw the 360 had sold 16 million units in America, to the PS3's 8 million. 8 million divided by 110,000 is 72 months, which puts us at January of 2015.

Even using your number of 5 million, which appears to be incorrect, you still come out way past mid-2010. 5 million divided by 110,000 is 45 and a half months, which puts us towards the end of 2012.

@VCZIE I was doing GLOBAL totals.....because although the US is the BULK of the market clearly the US dollar is in the Shitter.....and Sony & MS would rather sell more consoles in Europe than here.....

and with this Hypothetical MS would stay flat.....meaning sale no more than they did last year.....It'll happen quicker than 2014

Ok, well considering he said he was talking about the U.S., I'm not sure why you said his point was incorrect and then used math based on global sales.

Yes, because an attention seeking fanboy on the internet knows so much more about the sales and distribution issues of electronics than those who spend every moment of their life dealing with it as a career.

maybe the source mentions the US sales, but joystiq's article wasn't specific, unless i missed it.

So aggie's argument still stands. If sony's sales doubles world wide, and xbox stays flat, it can catch up a lot sooner.

Did you read that duke? Still applies even if it's coming from a fanboy.

Thats a big ass MF'n "IF" anyway...

So will Sonys sales double worldwide? If so, when, and why? What will cause it? $299.00 price? KZ2? HOME? Teh Bloorayz?

All I know is that its not a good sign when your console sells less on a holiday season than in previous years. Wii60 keep breaking their sales records year after year...

Before 360 price cut, and the economy crashing, the ps3 was selling more than the 360 consistently.

Meaning, more ppl were buying it even though it was more expensive and had less games.

That means that ppl out there really really want the ps3. Sooooooo - make it less expensive and add in more exclusives, and yes it can do very well. simple.

Except that it still may not happen because of the economy. But you get my point, bandwagoner.

Here is the full quote:

"With a U.S. install base lead now of more than 7 million units (according to NPD), I can't imagine any scenario where the PS3 can catch up with us. In fact, even if you doubled the current PS3 sales and Xbox 360 remained flat, they couldn't close the gap until 2014.""

It was copied in a comment below here, which Aggie replied to at 1:56pm. Yet even after reading the full quote which specifically mentions U.S. sales, he still posts at 2:09pm defending his point that Greenberg's math is incorrect.

While he may have responded to the wrong quote, his argument still stands regarding world wide sales. There's nothing wrong with bring up the big picture.
