Norbit, I don’t think Microsoft’s goal is to compete with the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation Portable. The PlayStation 3’s poor performance really can’t be defended, and sooner or later it’s not going to be able to rely on its older brother to carry the load.

There is nothing to say about microsoft as a company because nintendo and sony are leagues away. You can’t say alot of good things about sony sales lately. anyone here anything about the microsoft handheld rumor. i’ve heard, but very little.

At the end of the day even with Microsoft’s biggest game, a range of console prices, an unprecedented level of hype, an unprecedented level of negativity against Sony and an advertising budget the likes of which gaming has never seen they still didn’t’ manage to sell more gaming consoles in the US last month than Sony. Sony were still the more popular company of the two for gamers to hand money to for hardware.

“well those figures are slightly off for Norbit, too.”

No they aren’t. Microsoft have one product that sells well in the states, OK in the EU and appallingly in Japan. Sony and Nintendo have a number of gaming products that collectively put them leagues ahead of Microsoft in popularity.

“who is the more successful business man?”

The two company’s that have made money from gaming, Nintendo and Sony. Microsoft have yet to make any profit and are still trying to recoup the $5.7bn loss they made on the Xbox. Does that answer your question or are you still going to try and argue against undeniable fact?

well those figures are slightly off for Norbit, too.

because you have to take into consideration that the Nintendo Ds retails at $120 and the PSP retails at $160, the Wii retails at $250 and the PS3 at $599.

Also, you have to take note that Microsoft has no handheld.

Cummulative figures and $ sales don’t mean as much as units sold.

If I had a product that sold at $7 million, and you had a product that sold at $2, and I cumulatively made $14 million and you made $1 million, who is the more successful business man?

With Halo 3 and 10 million in marketing and the 360 still essentially ties the Wii. How messed up is that? The wii didn’t even see any major titles and it could still compete with Halo 3. Unbelievable.

This just goes to show that Halo 3 didn’t steal a a single hardware sale from Nintendo. Maybe there is some truth to the idea that the 2 consoles don’t really compete. It does look like the 360 stole some sales from the PS3 though. Considering there was an extra week in this months NPDs and the PS3 STILL dropped pretty big, thats not good. Even norbit has to recognize that.

Norbit – You are a retarded PS3 Fanboy. XBOX 360 is kicking the Sh** outta the BS3.
Meanwhile, in you delusional support for Sony, you quote Japanese hardware totals that nobody gives a damn about.
