Meanwhile the PS3 is absolutely stomping the 360 in every country outside of the United States.

Can you post an excerpt about it? I can't see gaming websites at work.

Doesn't really disprove JBauer though. Taking out the US sales figures from that site, PS3 has 52.8 million units sold vs 36.8 million units for the 360. That's a pretty sizable difference

oh lets argue semantics meow...

Yeah. I thought it was common gaming knowledge that the PS3 owns the Asian and European markets?

Oh wait, this is VSN.

[Atlas]

of course they own the asian market, but europe is another story...

in the UK, the xbox wins by about 3 million, in germany the ps3 wins by about a million, in france the ps3 wins by about 1.5 million...

so in the english speaking world, the 360 dominates... i couldnt give a fuck less about the japs and third world countries...

PS3ers that actually have a headset and play online, do you run into any jap speakers?

Definitely Asian. I think it was Swarley and I (or maybe JonTheRev) that played on several Asian only servers on Battlefield a bout a month ago. I wouldn't be able to tell the difference betwenn Korean, Japanese, Chinese, etc. I obviously couldn't understand anything they were saying anyway. I know in Uncharted multiplayer there are a shit ton of hispanics for some reason.

i used to play mw2 early in the morning with all the japs and aussies... shit was awesome... the aussies are super fucking racist, made for lullllllllz...

And the 360 still had an entire year start. It was the only "Next Gen" and new console for a whole year. Still semantics?

[Atlas]

But but but RROD???

[Atlas]

also, feel free to keep on neglecting the global software sales for each... pretty convenient how you all miss the 102 million game lead the 360 has on the ps3... thats why the english speaking world matters more...

Doesn't 360 carry like 200 more games? Think I read that somewhere.

I wouldn't hang my hat on the likes of Sneak King, Bomberman; Act Zero, Two Worlds, etc, etc.

More games doesn't mean it's better. The Wii is full of shovelware.

Just like more sales doesn't mean a game is better. Just look at CoD...oh, wait.
