360 vs ps3 vs wii

To be honest, Its that far into the life of the 360, I doubt price wars are gonna make that much of an impact. It's now down to whats available and what each console offers more so than the cost of each.

That's the way I see it anyways :)

This is what sony did with prices on the ps2 and look how many they have sold.

GB£299 (November 24, 2000, Launch Price)
GB£269 (June 2001)
GB£199 (September 28, 2001)
GB£169.99 (August 27, 2002)
GB£139.99 (October 1, 2003)
GB£104.99 (August 18 2004)
GB£94.99 (August 21 2006)[32] (current RRP)

Looks like MS are trying to do the same thing

Don't be so melodramatic, M$ could drop the price on the 360 to $99 and I really wouldn't be surprised if it still couldn't match the Wii sales, that price drop may hurt PS3 sales (globally) but it's certainly not the end of the war (a 'war' ?), people were saying the same when they had the last big European price drop which made the arcade pack even cheaper than the Wii but people keep on choosing the Wii over the arcade pack and Sony still stayed ahead in sales every month in the EU which even surprised me tbh.

Please stop with the whole M$ thing, it's annoying and unfounded.

No. I've been using the term 'M$' for as long as I can remember, I have no problem with M$ as a company, I do not use it in a derogatory manner, they are one of the richest company's in the world, there nothing wrong in that, it's just people take it out of context.


Edit - If the acronym 'M$' is to be banned on this forum or a moderator would prefer that I not us it then please edit my post with a warning and I will try my best not to use it anymore, until then it is my preferred terminology, cheers.

Well it's not exactly used in a positive light is it. I've asked nicely and would appreciate it.

No I'm sorry, not unless it is being enforced as part of the forum rules I would prefer to use it, I use it when I complement M$, I also use it when I criticise them, like I said, it's not meant to be taken offensively.

I know your an underboss so I don't want to completely disregard what you are saying by just going against what your asking me to but I feel strongly that I should be allowed to use 'M$', I'm not swearing, not insulting anyone, but like I said if it is against the rules then yes I will stop using it without question.

It's completely unnecessary and leads to a lot of arguments. Unless you can think of a good reason that you use it (especially as typing MS is so much easier and quicker) then it does come across as trolling.

If people feel the need to argue over the terminology of how someone prefers to coin a company then I feel very sorry for that person, I have better things to do with my time than get into petty unfounded arguments with people that get offended by the letter 'M' and the 'dollar' symbol, no wonder why the Nazi swastika was such a powerful symbol, people empowered it by their negative reaction towards it, just let it go, choose not to be bothered by it, be the better man.

So you don't have a good reason then? I'll just assume you like getting a reaction with it then.

I don't need to justify it, I just prefer to use it, like I prefer the colour purple over green, I'm not one for letting peoples irrational adverse reactions dictate how I conduct myself, that's their problem, not mine, good day to you sir.
 
am i the only one who thinks it should be just PS3 vs 360

the wii isn't really a competitor

people dont buy wii's for the same reason they will buy a ps3/360

I disagree slightly. The 360 while a dedicated gaming machine is priced as to attract the casual gamer. Agree that the PS3/360 has more 'adult' games though
