![]() I guess that's somewhere around 100M units in 6 years. I still remember when they started selling them. Back then all the Fry's Electronics stores were Incredible Universes owned by the Tandy Corporation. The 360 launch looked tame to the lines I remember when they started selling it. I wonder what a launch comparison of the 360 and PS2 would look like? 10:1 purchases? ![]() Anyway... 100 Million ![]() ![]() http://www.gamespot.com/news/6140574.html. |

![]() 100 million? That's 20 million units a year for the last 5 years. 20 Million units a year is impressive. 22 million in Japan alone counts as one fith of Sony's sales. An impresive feat for a country that is but a shadow compared to ours. That's 22 million sales that will be exclusive to Sony even after the Xbox 360. This is important, because it will prevent Japanese blockbusters from being ported over to the Xbox. Sony launch has very sought after Japanese blockbusters that will give Sony a great launch. Don't be suprized if some people sell their 360's to get one at launch. Xbox live is the only weapon that MS has to keep customers after launch of the PS3. The market in the end will be split from MS live players and Devote fans of Sony's launch titles. Nither side will aquire any new fans than ones they had previously. A price war will erupt, first adopters will be screwed, game prices will increase, innovation will decrease, clones and sequels will be released one after the other. The death of gaming is assured. Sure the games they have out there now may be fun for a while, and playing them online is cool. Just wait till the entire market is saturated with the very same games you play now. Just as MMORPG players play them selfs sick of the game they regard as the second comming of Jesus. Gamers too, will become sick of these games eventualy. ![]() It's imposible for the averaged minded person to understand now, but wait the next 5 years. Then you will understand. ![]() |

Everything has problems at launch, you are obviously blinded by your fanboism. EDIT*** My 360 also has yet to crash or have any problems with it. Guess I am just lucky huh? ![]()

![]() No smart ass, it doesn't play DVDs worth a damn. Most of my friends that bought when I did have had to replace theirs because of faulty trays. I got lucky with that. |

![]() Actually from that article: PS1: 7,800 Games PS2: 6,200 Games Which means the PS2 has 14,000 playable games and the PS3 will have the same number playable at launch. Also add in the rumored ability to play all PSP games on the PS3.... Opps.... the Xbox only has 894 total games. And backwards compatability does not include all of those games. That's just sad. ![]() |

Although I'd say that PS2 had many more 90%+ games than the Xbox. |

![]() 100 millions...thats tricky, that number doesn´t mean that 100 million people around the world bought a ps2....A big chunk of those ps2 are actually replacements for warranty claims, despite the fact that sony fanboys bought 2 or 3 ps2 for x or y reason. ![]() |
