PS3 has a third of the userbase of 360
You'd be right
IF Microsoft "sold" over 2 million X360's in July.
Or if you want to compare "shipping" numbers, Microsoft would have to have shipped 4 million X360 in July.
Of course, these numbers may have to be even higher if we are to assume a sizeable percentage of the X360 "shipped" numbers are for repeat and replacement x360s for those that failed and could not be repaired.
As for Microsoft shipping 4 million or selling 2 million X360 for the month of July. I wouldn't bet on it. I suspect Microsoft sold just over 200,000 X360's in July... less than the number of PS3 sold during the same period, undoubtedly partly due to the PS3 price drop of course.
360 keeps outselling it worldwide on a monthly basis
With the exception of last month of course.
lead will extend this fall with cheaper price and the obvious titles looming (one which will push a ton of consoles)
It's a little premature to jump to that conclusion, and I suspect
Halo 3 will sell more than just 260 additional X360's
(assuming you didn't mean "gross ton").
360 owners generally eat up software titles like crazy compared to PS3 and Wii owners, etc etc etc.
You mean in the way that up until last month only one game on the X360 sold more than 2 million copies? In the way that of the top 300 best selling games of all time only one is an X360 game? In the way that the sales of just
Wii Sports,
Wii Play, and
The Legend of Zelda: TP have sold nearly as many copies as all the X360 games combined?
Microsoft Xbox division wouldn't be losing over a billion dollars every year if they really did have 11.8 million "users" and 7.1 million XBL "members" who generally eat up software titles like crazy compared to PS3 and Wii owners, etc etc etc. In fact, if this were true, they'd be making over a billion in profit each year... like Nintendo... and I say that with a good deal of resentment as a longtime investor in Microsoft.
Of course the overwhelming majority of 3rd parties are going to put the 360 version of their games before anything else!
Besides the fact that you do not know that, please list all the 3rd party games that are coming out next year and of those please list the ones you
claim the developers are going to put the 360 version before anything else.
The best you can hope for in the coming future is for developers to be platform agnostic like Infinity Ward and the odd few who's lead platform for their games is PS3 like Criterion.
and Sega, Digital Extremes, Capcom, Team Bondi, Konami, etc. In fact, unless Duck is mistaken, the PS3 is also the lead platform for EA’s
Army of Two.
I suppose the fact that Free Radical's
Haze and Epic's
Unreal Tournament 3 are coming out first on the PS3 is because the X360 has so many more users who generally eat up software titles like crazy?
It doesn’t take a genius to see the correlation between the number of lead titles on the X360 and the simple fact that it’s been out a full year ahead of the PS3. Obviously this early in the “game”, more games were being developed for the X360 than the PS3. However, looking over the slate of games scheduled for the end of this year through 2008, and its also quite clear that developers are ramping up on their PS3 productions – and if E3 was any indication then there may even be more titles released in 2008 on the PS3 than the X360.
As for EA's game suckage, you do have to admit their non-sports titles are, at the very least, really promising. Rock Band, Army of Two, Battlefield: BC, and Crysis are either published or developed internally by EA. Granted, if you're a PS3-only owner then I guess you have some basis for a total boycott, but still.
Yes, because after all, the EA games are so much more brilliant on the X360…
BTT: I have nothing against those that desire 60 fps, but I have to chuckle when I see people grossly exaggerating the difference between 30 fps and 60 fps. A great deal of “motion jitter” you see in video games has nothing to do with fps, and has to do with the program itself and the processor. The human eye simply isn’t that great at distinguishing the difference in movement above 20 fps… which is why almost all movies you see are filmed at only 24 fps. That’s right, just 24 fps, and you’ll find most movies look a great deal smoother in motion than any video game... go figure.
