Console wars are over - PS3 Wins!

This is actually incorrect. The sales can't be used as an accurate measure due to the X360's RROD that occurs often, making people go out and buy more. As some people have stated, they knew people that bought over 15 in one year due to the RROD. Due to problems like that, the 360 would always have more purchases and therefore get more money, also. Games are a more accurate measure, due to that problem.

Not actually, because when a person gets RROD, he is not going to buy a XBox anew, and replacement does not count in actual sells, I don't now about Microsoft, but I guess they abide by their warranty. Now as for games, you never know the actual number of games sold, if it is taken to account, PS3s anti-piracy measure broke recently, about other two, they were already modded way before.

Of the 15 that broke for a friend-- Microsoft only replaced 1.

That leaves 14 that he bought like an idiot that gets added to the numbers.

Do that for everyone that had a broken 360 and just imagine the numbers. Roughly 70% of the 360's sales can be contributed to idiots who continue to buy a broken system.

Well, the guy(s) like that are definitely an idiot, and if what you are saying is true, then its simply the breach of consumer rights by Microsoft, a product bought, can be replaced as many times if it is within warranty period and the fault is due to manufacturing. My Sony Erc. Cell has been replaced like, 4 or 5 times, within a period of 8 months, and ever time they extended the warranty to 30 days =D, and my PS3 never gave me such problems.

some of the comments on this thread seem awfully convenient...

ived owned every console since the ps1 at some point or another and have always liked the two main consoles for their seperate qualities (PS and Xbox)

my friend had a brand new ps3 for a grand total of 16 hours before the thing broke down, and it has broken down 4 times since.

me on the other hand ive had 3 xboxs. the first died cause of ma little brother's friends (they kicked it or somethin i still dont actually know what they did) the second i still have and the third i bought not to long ago, the new slim model. i have never had any problems with ma xboxs that came about without outside interference. hell i dropped my second xbox im ma pool and thing still worked, after i dryed it off.

also you cant say that the console wars are over just because of their being more sales of ps3s in Japan...JAPAN...where is sony from...hmmm...i wonder.

all this ps3 vs xbox crap pisses me off as you can all see...

I am split on the hole subject really. I game on pc, ps3 and my xbox360, and considering that the 360 and ps3 namely microsoft and sony will be at each others necks for all eternity I dont really care what magazine or show says is the winner. As far as people say that the xbox has faulty tech I guess I have just been lucky because I have had it forever it has never failed me and i have dropped it several time for different places and it still does its job i dare not try that with my pc or ps3

I don't know about you but I have heard this topic about a million times over and have come to three conclusions. Its not a war unless some one dies; poor sega. Holy cow any one trying to declare a winner is like trying to declare witch tree gets the awesome tree award. And finely the kicker. I don't want this battle to end and to have one winner. If it were not for all the competition each company has we would end up with a lot of mediocre stuff. Don't believe me. EA with it's football, and Blizzard. Nuff said

ever since my xbox died on me(AND IT WAS THE 3RD ONE!!!), I went and dumped it for my computer. I also own a PS3 and I play it mostly because of Final Fantasy. But even before that, I always had problems with it(the xbox(overheating, and even a RROD). PS3 wins.....like hell......it dominates!!!!!

both systems get a 10+ haha i still love my PS3 & 360, i play them both, use them both for movies, (only my PS3 for Netflix) and i still find some games better on one system then the other at times... so in a way this war is far from over untill we see a Microsoft/Sony console that will be the day xD

reasons why people are still buying 360s

1.They are not informed on the technology and its draw backs and do not know the capabilities of the PS3

2.Their friends have it and they want to play with them

3.All the advertisements Microsoft puts out

4.It was cheaper(so they thought)

5.They dont care much for games they just want something to play or a specific game(Halo,COD,Gears of War)

Only years after owning one people will start seeing that it is not infact the best game system.2010-2011 has proved this.

1.consoles overheating

2.games with 3 disks

3.less exclusives than ps3

4.all the money they have put into Xbox live

5.PS3 offering programs like Ps plus,free MMos like DC universe,Free realms

...list goes on

360 was the best gaming system..back in 2006:beat_brick:
