Certainly not me. The more competition the better. If only Nintendo or only MS had a console then we'd never seem prices coming down.Quote:

BFBC sucked...BFBC2 was slightly better...BF3 really improved...at least you can talk to the whole team and have your own servers....that was the golden age of gaming....hosting your own servers kicking cheats and mods and laggers....perfect gaming.Quote:

lol.. I doubt Sony has overtaken MS. Why would they be so quiet about this milestone? If they don't mention anything about passing xbox numbers when they do their ps4 reveal then I think they are still trailing.Quote:

Hopefully people will stop believing "analysts" and believe the real numbers.Quote:

either way like I said before at this point neither side should be bringing because how close they are, it can all change in a month and could go back & forth
A 5-10 mill lead would be something to write home about don't ya agree?

There was a lot of people in this thread who took this as gospel, to the point of defending IDC, and getting quite shirty at anybody who dare question it.Quote:

I'm not saying the lead is anything, I don't really care, its more about the gullible being lead by their noses.
They are so quick to defend these sorts of things, and accuse anyone who questions it as attacking it or "spinning" it, or better yet just straight out labeling them as fanboys.
Like I said to Rad, Sony will most likely announce their numbers before the PS4 announcement
But I still think the numbers are too close to brag about, even if those numbers was true it would only take a good month in the US for 360 to take it back.

Well Yung says that Sony hasn't been successful because it failed to keep the massive marketshare from last gen. So Sony's current market-share is a result of Sony being unsuccessful as a console maker, not a result of MS becoming a solid competitor. And so, MS only got a head because of Sony's failure...Well this is just what I understood from his repeated sentiment.Quote:

Which all means that Sony probably sold around 3-4 million PS3s in the second half of November and December, which would leave them at 73-74 million total. That would mean they are still around 2 million behind the 360, give or take a few hundred thousand.
