This is the official poll for the two gaming consoles.

Which one do you prefer?

Is anyone on this site even interested in sales or the console war anymore? I mean, does it really matter? As long as you're happy with what you got, then screw the sales. Like, the 360 is winning in terms of total sales right now (vs. PS3), and the PS3 will eventually beat the 360 in sales... but will that stop me from liking my 360?

If sells aren't what we use to determine success in a "console war" then what is?

I dunno, SUCCESS. You can sell 3 PC's with a 5 day free trial then you need to pay 30 a month. and 5 PC's for double the price. Over time the one with the free trials is going to add up.


Horrible analogy.

Console developers make the majority of money from software sales until the consoles themselves become dirt cheap to make. You have one console sold at a profit(the Wii) the others are sold at a loss. The Wii has an incredible software sell rate as well. They also nickel and dime just as well as M$ and Sony with the Virtual Console.

neither, wii
   

  Wii fails so bad it's not even in the console wars.


  It already won.


 

 It wants to win, but it shows commercials for games like Rayman raving rabbits, but nothing for games like Prototype.


Sells more consoles, sells tons of games. It won, get over it.


Lmao. Riiight. Okay.

360, ps3 has no good exclusives.
Fuck You! Little Big Planet, Reistance 1 and 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, Home!!!

The original point still stands.

King Kong Posted at 1:29 am on Dec. 16, 2008
To add. this topic Again. IMO 360. but both have pros and cons, and you should get the console for you
