we don’t have the final 360 numbers and the ones released that showed PS3 “winning” were reported long after the 360 was discontinued, and MS stopped giving numbers.
Even if the PS3 did eventually pull ahead, it’s a Pyrrhic victory after the success of the PS2, and not at all what I imagine “winning” to look like.
But we are beating a dead horse here.
It might be Pyrrhic victory to some but to others it was a bigger victory than what the PS2 done.
To alot of people, the PS3 and Playstation was meant to die. Maybe even Sony as a whole
Just go back and look a decade ago and you’ll see how much negative and doom press the Playstation and Sony was getting. In alot of people’s eyes they were dead and soon to be buried.
Especially the American and European Media and narrative was bye bye Playstation, Hail the new King Xbox and MS.
Luckily the turnaround happened,
The PS3 slowly slowly fought back. It won against the odds, against the media and against the tech giant Microsoft. It put its head down and even with the network failures and all its mistakes. It released exclusives after exclusives, month after month. Free gameds with PS +. Then month after month it caught up In sales.
Finally Beating the odds and the Xbox 360.
“Mattrick & co's box of tricks has sold 78.84 million units worldwide so far. Kutaragi's mean machine has sold 80.29 and counting.”
Was the last numbers I Saw. And I doubt the 360 sold 2 million to get closer.
Xbox doesnt disclose its numbers when its lost lol.
Playstation 3 not only outsold the Xbox 360, it beat all the negative media and haters too.
Ps - Fuck Jeff Epstiens Buddy too.... Bill gates lol
