When i was a young pup...I was told of a story long ago!

The turtle (SONY) was very, very slow. People said the turtle did not have enough memory, a good graphics card and BluRay was a waste of money and way too expensive.

The hare (MS) rushed to get a big one year lead in the race. It did not even support HD-DVD. The hare then spent all its efforts paying for DLC. The hare also spent lots of money on multi-platform titles. Today many of my other pups say 360 owners are good beta testers for the PS3. I believe it!

Now with the PS3 at $299 many gamers realized how good the turtle really is. When they play their first PS3 exclusive. They enjoy their turtle games and the sweet sensation of BluRay games and movies.

Motto: Slow and steady always win the race. The turtle now comes with 120GB HDD and is very slim to help it in the race.

The hare (360) blowed its load on rushing to get a one year lead. Blowed its load on HD-DVD. Blowed its load on RROD. Blowed its load on WiFi. Blowed its loaded on HDD. Blowed its load on games DLC. And Yes. BLOWED ITS LOAD ON EVERYTHING HALO....(Halo does not even come close to anything PS3 exclusive)

Now the turtle slow and steady. What is really amazing is that the turtle only costs $299.

There could be riots in the streets because everybody will want their children and family and friends to enjoy watching the turtle take the lead this holiday 2009 and beyond.

Who is SCARED...MS and Nintendo. WHy is Nintendo willing to lose $50 per console when they are supposedly selling? I smell a scared hare (360) and someone playing with their Wii.

I DO NOT BLAME THE DEVELOPERS. NOW I UNDERSTAND. LIKE TAKING CANDY FROM A BABY (MS). THEY TOOK THE EASY AND FAST CASH. DEVELOPERS. GET YOUR RICH BUTTS WORKING HARD ON THE SONY PS3. MS PAID YOU GOOD!!! YOU GUYS ARE SMARTER THAN ME. AND RICHER TOO....Now that the check cleared the bank, do you think you can find a way for MS to cut me a check? ha ha ha ha.

THE TURTLE ALWAYS BEAT THE HARE.....ALWAYS!

PS3. It only does everything.....the turtle wins....Extra, Extra...read all about it!

[swift]

lol....@coolmatrix. u is crazy... like the story ;)
damn.. the DSi are selling like hotcakes

[spongeboob]

Great story Coolmatrix. Bubbles.

[Knghtz]

Ok I could see the use of using the word "blowed" ONCE as a typo/mistake, but really?

[TheDude2dot0]

TYPING IN ALL CAPS MAKES WHAT I SAY IMPORTANT!!!!!

[calis]

Who in Japan doesn't have a PS2?

Or are they just buying them for others uses now, like to stabilise a table leg

[Rock Bottom]

I already have a PS2, but I'm going overboard for uni in few week, so I'm leaving it at home for little brother and I'll get another one few months later, which will be my third PS2 since 2002.

[KillaManiac]

More likely its why I see a lot of original 360 owners buying new 360s (I do work in retail). Their warranty is out and it broke for whatever reason...and so its easier to rebuy the console instead of repair it for a fee.

[topgeareasy]

ps3 outsell flopbox nearly 14 to 1

[El Botto]

Notice how in the last 8 months, the TRASHTALK from the Xbox division has stopped.

Lmao

xbots didnt got the message though.

[ZBlacktt]

The Japanese are smart, really. They know electronic's and what is a flop bad investment. Meanwhile, kids here in the states want cheap in price. No matter the results. People here are just cheat. I mean, why would anyone buy something that fails more than half the time? Just to play Halo? No Wi-Fi, pay to play online, no Blu-ray, it's greatest games are multi console ( i.e COD, Batman, etc ). So again, Japan knows a good buy.

[Sir Ken_Kutaragi]

Saying that i can't get into this Sales thing like the Chat/StatBots do!!! ;-D
If so-and-so sell so-and-so it don't make your gaming any better does it??? Hmm...oh well... ;)

[infekt]

Yes. You can see how all the xb!tches are quiet. It looks like the PS3 is ripping the Wii and 360 a new one these days! Must hurt.

I'm glad the PS3 is selling well, but I'm more excited about the current and upcoming line-up of games. PS quality is unmatched!

[Baka-akaB]

or maybe they sometimes die , and still got load of awesome games released on it till this day ? Especially in japan

[stonecold3]

ken i have to agree hte chat bots are dead last in japan i guess even the 9 year old ps2 outsells the chatbox360

[Hallucinate]

no it doesnt thats justa flat out lie ps2-2900 360- 4000

[Snake Raiser]

PS2 didn't out sell the 360, it's just higher on the list. That said it still sold 3/4 of what the 360 sold even though it is about 10 years old.

[free3sixty]

remember when the pos3 was at 2-4 k.. for MONTHS?.. oh.. but the 360 is dead in japan.. oh wait...

[Lou Ferrigno]

yup,YOU are correct young McDouche .. the 360 is strait up DEAD in japan.
its kool you admit that for once.. makes my day.

[The gaming GOD]

The difference with the ps3 was the fact that retailers weren't getting new shipments due to the preparing for the arrival of the slim. The 360 however has no excuse for such sales.

Welcome yourself to reality :). And for the record, it must be a pretty damn good "POS" if it's slappin the 360 around like that huh :)

[dustgavin]

Are you really THAT delusional that you think 360 is doing decent in Japan? Wow...

[Bumpmapping]

Xbox 1.5 is the laughing stock of the game industry

[Veneno]

360 can barely stand against PS2. Amazing.

[Pootangpie]

so a redesigned PS3 can barely sell more then 1 million units during it's launch something that even the DSI achieved and believe me it got a lot of critcism from the press

[red2tango]

Japan is a handheld territory, quit crying

[Arsenal4Ever]

Japan is anything but Xbox terrioty, quit bashing.

[Veneno]

And that's only from a price cut. Cant' wait to see what happens when system-selling games come out like FF13, GT5, yakuza, etc...

Perhaps Microsoft needs to come out with a portable system of its own. But that will probably flop hard as well.....

[Jrome]

Wait....
Did this guy just compare handheld sales to console sales?

Laugh My Fking Ass Off

[Miss Goblin]

So, the 360 is in launch week of it's flagship title, HALO, and it gets a desperate price cut and it can't outsell the PS3. Sad.

[Miss Goblin]

Veneno, the 360 has never sold 1 million units in 3 seeks. Not ever.

[TheDeadMetalhead]

...I'm speechless. You cannot be serious with that statement. I bet if the Slim had sold 10 million in a month you would be saying "B-b-but it didn't sell 20 million HAHAHA SONY R DOOMED!"

[Knghtz]

Didn't Sony just do something with their ps3 product too? Just saying.

I'm a Nintendo guy so don't hate me :(

[PS3Freak]

Clearly you don't get enough of what your name is.

[Miss Goblin]

Knghtz, Sony did do something and if you look they are at or above the expectations of the industry talking heads. Some mr I am no one on a forum may not think Sony is performing well but they, well, they are no body. The analysts know they are a reborn company.

[Peter North]

When Kojima was talking about Microsofts "magic", he was referring to their ability to flop consistently in Japan.

[paracardium]

diffrence between a actual console and handheld or maybe you don't know the diffrence.

[Veneno]

Pootie is just on damage control. The numbers are there in black and white, he's just in denial.

[MetalGearBear]

xbox360 sold 4000!!!???
lmao!!!!!!

[ELite_Ghost]

i can't believe ppl buy it, its prob fake XD!!

[Panthers]

They just forgot the decimal point.

4.000

[ELite_Ghost]

haha

[Foliage]

And 2 of the 4 have already RRODed, and the other 2 were replacements. hahaha

[renegade]

Another strong week for sony and the ps3.Damn pokemon and th efreaking ds.

[TheTeam06]

If anyone can figure out why the PS2 is still selling, let me know.

Oh wait, I do.... because it's badass! Oh, and congrats on the great sales, PS3!

[Death2494]

sales will probably go north considering how big the slim & FF13 are in japan. Hey i'm Playstation all the way, but everytime the 360 drops it's JRPGs, we all see the 360 sells pick up. Then comes the article about how 360 outsold ps3 in Japan.
I'm totally baised towards ps3 but am i the only one thinks the only cool thing about Project Natal, is it's new interface with the NXE?
(crickets..........with restless leg sydrome)

I guess it is just me. PsEye can pull that off no problem. Start the game just pressing it with your finger.

[Iceman100]

dominting as usal, and the ps3 continues to fall from grace while the 360 isn't even in he headlines lol.

"THE TURTLE ALWAYS BEAT THE HARE.....ALWAYS!"

you do know ps3 is in last place right?
