I find it a bit sad that everyone else is fighting for second place. They aren't even remotely close. Wii outsold 360, PSP, PS3, and PS2 combined. It's astounding.
Microsoft fanatics will come in claiming victory because 360 outsold the PS3, but how is that a victory when you're still below the DS and Wii (the former of which nearly doubled the 360's numbers)?
It's just ridiculous, especially considering the 360 had a year ahead to launch. The Wii vaulted ahead and is nearing 50% market share worldwide.
What buyer's remorse? I own all three consoles and actually regret buying the 360 the most, as Microsoft has shown how incompetent they are at creating a high quality console. I love the games on it, but I hate how they gouge money out of you for little things like how my 130 dollar DS can do wireless but my 400 dollar 360 (at least when I bought it) can't. Even the Elite should have at least come with it. Or how I have to pay for online play. Or how after 19 months of use my system shits itself. This should never have been a problem.
The PS3 on the other hand has been a great system overall. To be fair I did only buy it a few months ago in June, so it still has time to prove me wrong. At least I don't have to pay 10 dollars extra on top of the controller costs to have a battery pack, or buy a dongle to use the controller on the PC.
I don't know why you think it's ridiculous for ME to go on PS3 by stating how it'd make no sense if the first game wasn't on the PS3 when in the very post you mentioned, he said that the first one would likely be ported. It's like you're asking a question that was already addressed.
Also, Shenmue 2 came out on Xbox without the first one being on the console. It's not unlikely that Bioware would start making multiplatform releases.
Also if you're excited for Huxley, you're likely to be very disappointed.
This is completely wrong. It's the most factually wrong thing I've ever seen you say. The 360 outsold the PS3 for one week in August and that was because of Tales of Vesperia. It didn't outsell it any other week in August. In September and October it definitely outsold the PS3, likely due to the price drop. But it didn't outsell the PS3 at all in November.
It's really misleading when you post a four month spread (which covers close to 17 weeks) as when the 360 was outselling the PS3 when it was actually closer to 9 weeks.
Network now...

First of all, why does it even matter? Why would you be talking about it and laughing about it with a coworker that's just silly.
Second of all, Microsoft uses the same way to measure number of Live accounts. I don't really see how that's a lie, unless Microsoft is lying, too.
