You might be off on the PS3 there. I think they're behind in sales as far as the PS3 vs the 360 is concerned.

No contest on the PS4 and Xbox 1 though.

The idiots killed themselves with the always on kinect online bullshit.

They had to do some serious back pedalling after that. Shits selling for 350 and its still behind. :lol

He's right. PS3 caught up at the end and slightly took the lead. Doesn't really mean shit, the Wii outsold em' both and it sucks dick.

xbox took a shit early on with all the red rings of death/malfunctions. I went through 6 fucking xboxes (only bought 2). After my last one crapped out literally days after the warranty expired 5 and a half years ago now, I went that night and bought a PS3. It's been left on for weeks before, I've played the shit out of it, never formatted it, still runs like a charm.

The first run of 360s were horrible. I think they had something like an 80% failure rate. What pissed me off was I got a 360 from the second batch of them a few months after it was released and it ran perfectly, but I had to send it in to Microsoft because the fucking DVD tray wouldn't open anymore. So instead of fixing the DVD drive they sent me some fucking piece of shit that RROD within about 3 months and I had to return that fucker too. Third one still runs, though I haven't played it hardly at all since I finished GTA V on it a couple of years ago. Still, even with RROD garbage XBox 360 > XBone. LOL television.

They just recently outsold the 360...It's also still selling good in some other countries compared to the 360.

I wonder if the PS4 will be break the PS1 mark of 107 Million...They have about 25 million sales right now and in a year or two it should double...

Wow, I never realized the PS1 sold so well. Most people I knew had N64 in those days, but everyone had PS2.

N64 was extremely popular in japan and the US..But it wasn't even in the radar in other countries.

yeah PS2 is probably successful console of all time...I doubt the ps4 or any other console in the future would reach the 155 million mark...Probably not even close.

I've been pretty lucky with the 360, tbh... I had one of the old ones that died, but then I was gifted a slim and still working...

8 years between the two has been a pretty great ROI...

I was lucky enough to call Best Buy one summer night in 2005, and they had just got a huge shipment of 360's.. went and score the system, 2k6 and Oblivion (almost typed Skyrim there).. within one week.. RROD. Call Best Buy, all sold out. Called every Wal-Mart in the phone book (shitty flip phones) and found a store with one left..

We talked about that last time.. Always wanted to play Way of The Warrior and Gex.. Wasn't that POS like 600 bucks? :lol not as bad as the Neo-Geo costing 500.00 and the shitty arcade games were 200.00.

:lol yeah the 360 definitely will be remembered more fondly than the xbox one. PS4 is just blowing that shit out of the water. I cant wait to get one myself, probably sometime around christmas when they drop the price again (Im hoping). Not that I need more games... I got way too many unbeaten ones as it is. Shit, I could spend hundreds more hrs just on Oblivion and Skyrim.

Last gen Nintendo stole the near monopoly Sony had on the market with the PS2 but the motion gaming gimmick wasn't built to last.

This gen MS shot themselves in the foot right out of the gate more than anything else.

Sony needs to allow External Harddrives to be recognize by it.

That's why I love the PS3 so much. Can watch whatever the fuck I want through my external.

I was trying to convince my friends and family to get PS4, but they wanted Xbox. Why??? I have no clue. My brother is already having problems with his xbox one while I am sitting pretty with my ps4. I never had a problem with playstation, only xbox.

I still rank the 360 has the best console i've ever owned ahead of the PS2 even though most of my all time favorite games are on the PS2, but Xbox Live was a game changer.

This gen MS shot themselves in the foot right out of the gate more than anything else. As soon as word broke that the Kinect camera could be tapped into by MS perverts, and you would be required to be online, Xbox One went straight to the shitter even though MS corrected both issues. Then the gamers who actually buy consoles for the games realized a 500.00 console couldn't even display a resolution that was made popular in 2005 at a decent framerate. Rest. In. Peace Xbox One.

Only thing I like about Xbox One is the controller.
