CAM Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Interesting how the Wii outsold the XBox360 and PS3 even though the game library is filled with titles that are frankly rubbish!
Theblacksheep Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Sale figures alone, the Wii won it by some distance. Although the game attach rate must be abysmally low for the Wii. 0.3% difference in total sales between 360 and PS3. With PS3 consistently ahead in yearly sales, despite released a year later. PS3 also sells more in 360/PS3 cross platform games. Sauce
Sunnyknight Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 That IS in this day and age. No it's not! Hahaha! Game Boy and Game Boy colour still outsold the XBox! You... you... you.......... Dayz is worse than E.T the game!

X-13 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Wii hit the all round market, thus huge sales. Lacks exciting games though... Yet, it STILL outsold the 360.
CAM Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Why is the PSP creeping up? I never see that in stores and it was superceeded by the Vita (which I reckon is a good console let down by price and limited games library IMO. Plus Near is very cack).
X-13 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Why is the PSP creeping up? I never see that in stores and it was superceeded by the Vita. Due to the fact it's EOL, there are no more security patches. Which means it's super easy to hack and play pirated games on. Plus, it's cheap.
Sunnyknight Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 Yet, it STILL outsold the 360. Hate you. I do i do i do.
X-13 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Hate you. I do i do i do. Good. Your nerdrage sustains me.
Rawns Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 You... you... you.......... Dayz is worse than E.T the game! You love it really. Just once more reason with PC > Console.
X-13 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Just once more reason with PC > Console. If consoles stopped trying to be something they're not, then it'd be the other way round. If all the money and time spent on not-playing-games releated stuff was spent on actual game related things... PC wouldn't stand a chance.
Sunnyknight Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 @Dos_Box help! they're cyber bullying me!
featured_spectre Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 You set this in motion yourself with your avid fanboyism! I have an xbox 360, I had a 14 month sub which was given to me on my birthday and expires next april. I haven't touched the xbox since March due to a few PC games captivating my attention, and the fact they would NEVER be on xbox, which is a dissapointment. Xbox is good for friends and such like, but I get much more fullfillment from a game on my PC at the minute.
localzuk Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I'd like to see someone play a game like Eve Online on a Console...
JJonas Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 We are all gamers cant we work at getting the non-gamers playing? Rather than the my console is better than your console arguments. (or my pc is better than all your consoles)
X-13 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I'd like to see someone play a game like Eve Online on a Console... Isn't that mostly spreadsheets and menus?
sted Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Isn't that mostly spreadsheets and menus? iirc a mate used to be deeply into that its muliplayer excel lol worse than champ manager

(or my pc is better than all your consoles) I was genuinely upset when I found out that Valve had Pulled the originally planned cross platform play from CS:GO at the last minute. I really hope one day a we get a cross-platform FPS.
Rawns Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Isn't that mostly spreadsheets and menus? You thinking about the Football Manager series?
DMcGuigan Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I'll buy the new Xbox simply because I DO like gaming on a console and all the friends I game with are non-pc gamers. I've been brought up playing local multiplayer games and you don't really get that from PC. Always online doesn't bother me, I'm always online now be it on PC, Xbox, PS3 or my PSP. If I don't have an internet connection, I do something else. Not too sure about Illumiroom though. I will however, still play my PC more, I've just got a lot more games on it to play Steam deals are insane, meaning I always end up buying more games. I find a keyboard and mouse easier to use for anything that isn't a hack and slash or racer, and even then I've been playing them on PC recently with a wireless xbox controller and the M$ wireless adapter. tl;dr - buying neXtbox, probably gather dust after 6 months, except for the odd multiplayer session every now and then.
Rawns Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I got an Xbox 360 free with a mobile contract a few years ago. I loved it at the time, and playing GTA online with mates was epic. Plus N or Arcade was amazing! I just hated paying to play online, plus everyone stopped playing it (not to mention wife agro from hogging the TV) so sold it and went back to PC. The one thing I really do like though is Microsoft's Xbox controller. Bought one for my PC and use it for the likes of GRID, Batman and Assassins Creed.
LiamH Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 I was genuinely upset when I found out that Valve had Pulled the originally planned cross platform play from CS:GO at the last minute. I really hope one day a we get a cross-platform FPS. That would be like playing against bots on easy! Only way that would be a remotely level playing field is if the consoles have the "targeting assist" aimbot that they all need to be playable, and that would just result in people having "quick scoping skills" Imo consoles > PC for sports/beatemup/driving (without a wheel) PC > consoles for everything else And that's mainly due to the controller vs keyboard/mouse and you can always buy a controller for the PC.
VeryPC_Tom_M Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) The last 2 360's I've bought, were the Halo: Reach and the Halo 4 limited edition boxes. Unless I see a huge difference in specs between the new Xbox and PS4, I'm currently thinking about buying a PS4.. Thinking about it, I've "skipped" during generations.. from Sony (PS2), to MS (Xbox360).. I think the biggest factor, will always be what my friends are going to be buying! PS: I'm playing Pokémon on my 3DS XL rather than 360 atm Edited May 1, 2013 by VeryPC_Tom_M
ICTDirect_Dave Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 I can't believe this is still going on! Well I can really it's been going on for more than 25 years in one form or another. I'll keepy buying Xbox whilst Halo is on it as I'm hooked! I also love pro evo and the batman games (with the controller I'm awesome at batman) Everything else I prefer on PC though. I couldn't imagine Total War Games on Consoles these days.
