Yep they both sold out. they both did about a million... In about two years we need to see where they are..

The broken ps3 do worry me and it looks like MS has issues too.. I had the 360 and went through like 4 of them.. The failure rate was like 34 percent of launch several weeks or months later which was bad. Might be a few percent now but lets see what it is in a few weeks. Also looking at all the Amazon reviews of all the dead ps4 does not mean much since anyone with a account can post... I am sure allot of those people are xbox fan boys trying to fan the flames. It will also happen to the xbox one.


According to the class action lawsuit filed in California some years back, the failure rate of 360s was closer to 50%. And yet Microsoft still led over Sony in the North American market for much if not the entire last generation (so, you may cynically conclude that failures rates at launch play no part in a consumer's decision to get a console or to abandon it afterward).

However, not to worry, both Microsoft and Sony have solved this problem for all time: You can no longer use their consoles without first agreeing to never file a class action lawsuit against them. Smiley: rolleyes

Yeah my 360 failed once then they either fixed it or sent me a new one, I don't remember. My current 360 still overheats but not as much. I also got the 360 a year after it launched and again, it still RRODed.

MS "winning" the last gen is really testiment to how MS "got" the player base and how Sony didn't...even with the RROD issues.

The PS3 was more expensive, harder to develop for, and didn't really have a great lineup of games until mid to late in its existence. Sure it had Blu-ray, but at the time it was a toss-up.

The 360 had better online games, GoW, Mass Effect, a better controller, was easier to develop for and was cheaper.

This generation is less clear, but I've played both systems and really they're both great. Its going to come down to exclusives and I think the PS4 has the edge as I hope thier momentum from late in the PS3s life, carries over.

I'm really excited for FFXV and of course FFXIV on PS4!

I have played XBOX and 360 for 10 collective years. I converted to the PS3. There are things about both I like, and things about both I hate.

#1 most awesome thing for XBOX 360 - The XBOX Live Interface is perfect in all aspects.
#2 most awesome thing for XBOX 360 - Microsoft gets voice chat down to a science.
#3 most awesome thing for XBOX 360 - The controller feels comfortable in my hands.

#1 crap thing about XBOX 360 - They license one RPG per year and call it a day.
#2 crap thing about XBOX 360 - 260 + racing games and FPS (and sometimes racing FPS)

#1 most awesome thing for PS3 - Sony understands the RPG gamer.

#1 crap thing about PS3 - The PSN interface is terrible. Feels very unintuitive.
#2 crap thing about PS3 - I cant download Ventrillo or Teamspeak or Mumble so I can hear my team. I cant even voice chat with other PS3 players. Sucksssss.

I love how you phrase this. Smiley: thumbsup

Too many people declare one controller or the other to be superior, when really it boils down to personal preference.

Just as an FYI - Crystal downloaded an app on iPhone the other day that you all may be interested in if you still need to get a PS4 (or any other hot holiday gift you can't find.)

I can't find a link to the app in apple's iTunes store, but if you search on your phone you'll see it:

Whohas.it

This will tell you where you can go to buy the item now... rather than having to search the web looking for who has it, this app does it for you.

Wait the ps3 has outsold the xbox 360 worldwide. Also all those broken console were counted like the 3 I went through. You remove the people who had to buy multiple consoles the gap would be allot more.

Anyway :
