Aaron Greenberg (Microsoft product manager) gave the funniest remarks right before the sales for the month were released. Even ppl who love the 360 should be able to see how lame it is lol He goes on about shortages (I haven't seen a place sold out of 360's) of the 360 which is of course why the PS3 outsold it. I guess we could of used that also when the PS3 first had trouble selling. Let me drop a quote from him "we don't know what will happen to Blu-ray. Is it the next DVD, or the next UMD? Your guess is as good as ours ... we don't expect [Blu-ray's win] to give a boost to PS3 sales, and we don't expect it to impact our sales. Frankly, we think it's the games that sell the consoles."
Them fightin words lol First off UMD might be seen as a failure but at least Sony is doing something with the PSP regarding movies. I mean almost all consoles support dvd nowadays and UMD is like dvd for your PSP. I think thats a big step for handheld consoles personally. Also Blu-Ray is boosting PS3 sales. Blu-Ray players have shot up because of the format winning but the PS3 is still staying the same so your average joe is using it for a BD player. He's right though games do sell consoles in the long run. Games like MGS4,LittleBigPlanet,Resistence 2, and Gran Turismo 5. Plus the cool PSN titles (echochrome comes to mind) and the multi platform titles which sell big time like DMC4 and CoD4. This is just to funny though and you can read the full article at http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=9530&Itemid=2
