TYRONE GA!
Do you know how many hoops Sony had to jump through just to make the PS3 an affordable thing to produce? They had to axe out the main selling point of their processing engine (Emotion Engine chip) and Blu Ray production costs didn't reduce until like early '10. PS3 came out in '06. That's roughly FOUR YEARS of high production costs for Sony, AND development costs for pubs/devs (unless you were second/first party, you weren't developing shyt for Sony unless you wanna take those prices.). Sony did so badly that Kutaragi left.

Let's not even discuss how poorly the PSP did in America.

The only reason Sony managed 2nd place is because Japan hates american gaming products. Always has. But they damn sure had to work for it.

To this day PS3 has yet to catch up to the Wii's worldwide sales in America.

We all know why it costs so much and what had to be done to get the price down. The bottom line is that despite this it still came in 2nd despite the Wii onslaught and 360 year head start. And it wasn't just Japan that saved the PS3 sales, Playstation is signficantly stronger in Europe as well.

Wii was an exception/aberration and the Wii U is proving this
Xbox still is not a worldwide brand and will never be.

Sony did so poorly that it overcame a 9 million hole to outsell the 360 worldwide and finish 2nd?

And let's not even talk the bloodbath going on right now :laff:
Rekka, Xbox is selling better than PS4 now. You gotta let that go :umad:
But last gen, what you said is correct only if you are a dumbass. Seriously, you have to let sony lie to you
Then you have to ignore the fact they lied, and then yeah. What you said would be correct.
Sony grouped up PS2 and PS3 sales into the PS3 total. You take out PS2's sold, Xbox is up by over 10million consoles. That is the exact reason why sony decided to hide the real numbers, and yet now they are more than willing to release so called real numbers :laff:
Who is stopping them from lying? I guess you gonna say they don't do that right?
Some fool was saying "Oh, so sony gonna lie to stockholders"?
Yes :sitdown:

Not the first time they lied either, they have an extensive history of lying.
Where Lying is Mandatory!!!
Uncharted 3 sold 3.4 million copies day 1 according to sony, PSmove was moving units too :smugbiden:
PSvita was outselling DS and would have 100's of games after a year
If you can find a PS3 on shelves, they'll pay you $1200 for them
They will not charge for PSN Online play next gen
They will not remove otherOS
They removed the emotion engine chip to bring down cost :mjpls:
PSN and your info is protected (sued worldwide)
Its not their fault that it happened :manny:

Xbox won last gen, sony had to do things that you do when you not on top. Thank you for carrying the hurt around :win:
