Huh? I never said that it wasn't poorly built. I merely made 2 statements since you made it seem like the consumers didn't use that warranty for a free 360 (or just a fix) and that the PS3 had a perfect launch -_-There were so many faulty first gen 360's I think that console went down as one of the worst built systems of all time, if not the worst.
Comparing the PS3 to the Xbox from a reliability standpoint makes the 360 look really really bad, so stop trying to make this a legit comparison.
How did I make contrasting statements? I said that the PS3 didn't win the last round because their marketshare lead got cut down too much (dominated) to consider it a "winner", even though it's slightly selling more than the 360. Again, (because you cut it out of you quoting me) compare the marketshare from the original Xbox and the PS2 to the 360 and the PS3 and you'll understand what I mean. It's too big of a jump...Your making constrasting statements.
Microsoft expended a lot of time and money fixing consoles. In cheesy fingers America xbox kiddies wanted thier Halo so for that reason alone the 360 sold very well, not to mention the original xbox was a huge hit so this carried over a large part of the market. Even so the PS3 has been by no means dominated by anything and is the leading selling console world wide. The PS3 had crappy launch titles, a huge launch price tag, a tacky interface compared to the 360's "console for dummies/kids" approach, and tougher to program-for hardware and it still did ok.
Personally I have no allegience with either since I own both, and from a core gaming/following standpoint in America the 360 is top dog, but there are many more factors to consider as well is all I am saying.
And all I'm saying is that the PS3 didn't do as well as people would like to believe, considering all the factors. I don't like much bias any way you look at these things...Personally I have no allegience with either since I own both, and from a core gaming/following standpoint in America the 360 is top dog, but there are many more factors to consider as well is all I am saying.
