| | | Sony's PS3 Sales Have A Nice Boost In January
I'll let Engadget give you the low-down on how the PlayStation 3 did in the month of January vs its Nintendo and Microsoft counterparts. Quote: |
Hmmph. Would you look at that? Nary a fortnight after EA proclaimed that Sony's PlayStation 3 would best the Xbox 360 in sales during 2008, said prophecy is already starting to come true. Granted, we're only talking one month so far, but according to new US sales data from NPD Group, Microsoft's console actually slipped to third in the numbers race. Unsurprisingly, Nintendo's darling took home the gold (again) with 274,000 units sold in January, while the PS3 slipped in just 5,000 units below with 269,000. As for Redmond, it only moved 230,000 units last month, but spokesman David Dennis boldly stated that the firm believes its third-place finish to be "an anomaly." Considering that the Grim Reaper is well on its way to claiming the life of the 360s HD DVD add-on while Sony relishes the decision to cram BD drives within the PS3, we're not so sure these figures won't become a trend.

| | Well, when either FF13 or FFv13 or MGS4 come out.. they'll get another boost in sales for sure.. I'm only going to be buying one when one of these titles finally comes out..  There are hopefully alot more decent titles coming out for the ps3 this year too, I can't wait. I'll be buying a nice 32 or 37" LCD TV around the same time too, can't decide which one to get thou.. maybe by then they will have a TV thats perfect for me out there. I was thinking Vizio, or Toshiba atm.

| | unfortunately I think my FF playing days are behind me  I miss the days of SNES. Although, keep this in mind - 15 years ago, top end SNES catridges like FFIII were 59.99. Adjust that with inflation and compare to your games today if you think costs are outrageous

| | | I like both the 360 and the PS3. I don't have a PS3 yet because of the price and/or the selection of games. However, I really want the PS3 to do better so we can get some nice, genuine competition going between the two. It looks like the PS3 is catching up, but it just doesn't have any amazing titles for it yet that would make me pick one up. If any game will make me buy a PS3, it will be FF XIII or MGS4.

| | I have my 360 and love it wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Now that HD_DVD is dead my argument to the wife for getting a PS3 just got a whole lot stronger . I may be missing some good buys but the PS3 seems about the most affordable in terms of getting bang for your buck. Maybe when Uncle George sends me my check this spring Ill get one.
