Damn Sony got OWNED!

[Capitalizt]

1,160,591 Wiis sold to date.
367,611 PS3's sold to date

**There's only one thing to say about this**

 

[Jeeebus]

Ya that Nintendo software sure owned that Sony software

 

[Looney]

Maybe i missed it... but where's the source?

 

[StrangerGuy]

Nice attempt, troll.

 

[gorcorps]

I believe the numbers... but that's only cuz sony didn't have as many consoles released at launch. Nintendo didn't have any riots or stabbings for their consoles, so I guess it boils down to what the masses have proven they'd KILL for.

Um again distortion of the facts. Nobody was killing for a PS3... the killing was due to thugs who thought it was a wise move to rob a line of people with hundreds if not thousands of dollars in cash in their pockets in the middle of the night.

This might mean more if there were 700K unsold PS3s sitting in a warehouse.

Everyone who isn't living under a rock knows the Wii is easy to build because it's just a doubleclocked Gamecube with a new controller. Nothing wrong with that, but it means Nintendo can crank out the old tech by the millions while bleeding edge Sony is struggling to build the PS3 in volume.

:roll:

The MASSES went out and stood in line like well behaved human beings to get their Wii (or PS3 in about 1/3 of the cases). A select few over-zealous retards went out and fvcked with people just to get their hands on a PS3.

HEY MUTHAFVCKA WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!

Dave says it like it is. I would say Sony was owned if I could go buy one at Wal-Mart right now. But no, they sold all that they could build. But by not building enough, they probably did help sell some Wiis.

Those stating amount made already said all that needed to be, now I'll finish it up with one last remark:

Lock this thread, please.

So in summary, since Sony was a year late to the game and still aren't able to produce enough product to compete, they have in reality owned themselves. :thumbsup:

Um the Wiis are hard to get their hands on too. So if there wasn't a supply issue with the Wii, imagine how much they would have sold. http://www.corwin.ca/wii/

The supply shortages of the PS3 (as well as the Wii) is benefiting the 360 more than the Wii.

And I'm sure if AMD could double clock their CPU's they'd beat Intel. It's easy right? I mean Nintendo could do it. -_-

Moore's Law says yes if you wait 18 months, (and Nintendo waited 5 years).

Wii is just a die shrink and clock increase of the GC's now very slow 485 MHz CPU and 162 MHz GPU. If you think making a 1 GHz processor was hard then you must still be living back in 2001

While I don't have an official link, the Wii's tie ratio is over 3. PS3 initially had a tie ratio of less than 1 (damn EBayers). Now it's hovering around 1.5

 

[magomago]

I don't get it...Sony simply has no consoles to sell.

 

[Rangoric]

I dunno I was shopping in a gamestop the other day for the family & friends and it took over an HOUR to sell a PS3.

It wasn't sold by the time I left, and it was there probably since well before I got there.

Too funny, really, truely too funny to me

I'm sure copying the motion sensing was really hard for Sony too. =/

Dammit, not this again.
The reason (my theory) behind the 'theft' of the motion sensor is that Nintendo sues Sony and MS for the Rumble pack tech. MS played it smart and decided to give them an out of court settlement. Sony, decided to fight and lost big time. They can't make any more PS2s (the reason behind the skinny ones), have rumble in any more controllers, or make any more PS style controllers after that generation. They took the motion sensor tech and disabled rumble and said 'Hey, look! It's a new controller and we can't get sued!'
