Sony claims PS3 success over the 360

Sony CEO Howard Stringer is happy go perky when it comes to talking about the future of the PS3. Oh how bright the future is. Talking with Reuters, Stringer says that the "PS3 has now gone past XBox on the Christmas market" and that it is "moving into its own". Comparable to the growth of a tween becoming a teenager or something like that. Stringer then happily proclaims that the "PS3 is out of the woods and beginning to hold its own" when it comes to its competition with the 360. And we just hope that he's talking about Japanese sales numbers, because if he's referencing to North American sales then we'll have to be the bearer of bad news and say that the woods is much deeper and scarier than he thinks. But we'll let Stringer live in his fantasy world for as long as he wants, because he is a CEO. We'll just keep mum and let the numbers speak.

LOL wow, i haven't seen anybody lie that much in 1 post before. Your a sad man, you don't have to lie just to try to prove something to people you don't even know. I'm surprised your wife hasn't divorced you yet, since you spend all your time on the internet harassing everybody who owns a PS3.LOL I own all 3 consoles and you don't, so who's the real fanboy? You can continue on with your war against the "evil" Sony all you want, but i'm going to enjoy games on all 3 consoles unlike you. Get a life loser.

LOL!!!

You can't deny =anything= I stated, yet you always fall back to name calling.

Brilliant!!

If anyone is curious, they can look at our profiles and see who the raving, fanbot, tool bag truly is.

Bottom line is you're a Sony Bitch, regardless of which console you do or do not own.

Now, quit trolling this forum and move on.

LOL Knight your completely obsessed with me. Your the most extreme, pitiful, lonely fanboy i've ever seen. I hope to god that your only 15 years old, because if your a grown man acting this childish and using words like "trolling", then your a sad man. You obviously have nothing else in life to live for, that's why you get so emotional about video games. This fanboy bullshit started and won't end because of extreme, psycho idiots like you. You need to get some help, get a life buddy.

Efeez...

The only thing I obsess about is FUD spread by single minded fanbot zealots, such as you. When I see that, I will always call it out for what it is. You have a choice. Quit spreading FUD on blogs I frequent, or be prepared to have your words thrown right back at you and deal with it.

Take a look at what you write about 360 fans, and then compare you're complaints to your own spurious comments about the PS3.

Either you're completely disingenuous, which I suspect, or you're so close to the forest, you can't see the trees.

So Knight your basically saying it's your god given duty to strike down anybody who owns a PS3? Your saying i'm not allowed to own a 360 and a PS3? This crusade your on is weird and disturbing. You know what makes you very wrong and completely off? Go look at my 1st post under this subject, and you will clearly see i'm not saying anything about xbox fans, i was speaking about the people who run this site and write the articles. I was saying they shouldn't post flame articles like this because they always do. Get your facts straight and find another battle to fight, because your making yourself look pitiful.

Obviously, grammar is not your only weak spot, reading comprehension is, as well.

Re-read my post. I never claimed anything of the sort, your straw man argument doesn't work here.

Initiialy, with your lack of writing skills, RC, sentence structure, not to mention choice of words, I had you pegged at very late teens or very early 20's. I can see I was off by a long shot, so let me break this down for a prepubescent mentallity; hopefully you'll be able to grasp the concept.

You're a Troll. Look the definition up.

You're a fanbot. Re-read your own comments about 360 fans and then go back and re-read your comments about the PS3. You're opinion is painfully obvious as well as biased.

I don't know if an Xbox360 molested you when you were young, but you have a vendetta against the machine and it's users if good news comes around, and you never cease to defend the PS3 nor any of its own failings.

Personally I couldn't give 2 shits what you like or dislike, I only become offended when zealot Sony Fanbots, such as yourself, come to a 360 blog and spew your hatred towards a console that more people like & own. Your brand of vitriol is welcome on PS3 Fanboy, but what in the hell makes you think it would be welcome at 360fanboy?

Nevertheless, you do have that prerogative, and I have the right to put forth my point of view; which I will always do.

Lastly, do yourself a favor and ask yourself. Why do your comments always seem to be voted down?
I would suggest that you consider the remote possibility that it is you who is appearing pitiful.

What makes you think i hate the 360? If i hated 360 i would have never bought the console. I hope and pray that your only 15 years old, because it would be pathetic for an adult to act as childish as you do. Shane Kim and everybody else who works for Microsoft would even laugh at your ridiculous comments.

I even took a page out of your book and looked at all your older comments. You are a certified psycho freak and i hope somebody reports you. You have harassed many people on this site, and many others. You even attacked Xbox fans who hate Sony just like you, because they gave some constructive criticism about MS and the 360. I own a 360 Elite so i have a right to come to this site whether you like it or not. Stop harassing people for speaking their opinions you freak.

FFS man, are you bi-polar? Does the left hand not know what the right hand does. Are you truly that big of an idiot to not understand your blabbering, biased musings?

Read the shit you post, that will answer your question. You know the ones, little diddies, such as:

"I think Sony and the Playstation brand is Microsoft's worst nightmare."

"I hate how America is the only country filled with these xbox fanboy idiots."

"MS is a greedy ass company"

"Who cares about Frontlines? It looks like a generic ass shooter. I'm tired of shooters, after i get Haze and Killzone 2 i'm done with shooters."

"The american media is obviously bias against the PS3"

"Uncharted is hands down the best game of 2007"

"Killzone 2, Resistance 2 and Haze are all guaranteed to be great with no exceptions and all 3 are exclusive to PS3, so Sony wins and PS3 fans win."

"PS3 is more powerful than 360, so stop crying"

And one of my personal favorites:

"Xbox 360 can be the media's favorite, but they know and everybody else knows PS3 is the best all around console on the market."

You're a Sony Tool & a Troll, not to mention a cornicopia of anti MS vitriol and Sony Kool Aid drinker.

If you need anymore help understanding your anti MS/Pro Sony issues, seek professional help.

LOL You said that i'm a "Sony Kool-Aid drinker". I now know for a fact that your between the ages of 12 and 16, so i'm going to lay off you. You say i hate Microsoft but i'm using Windows Vista right now, and i own a 360 Elite. You're the worst and most delusional fanboy i have ever come across since this whole fanboy shit started. Find somebody else to obsess over, because i don't want to keep going back and forth with a 15 year old.

Everything you always list as "fact", you either channel from your ass or pull from thin air.

Everything I list as fact I pull from your own bewildered musings.

There's several terms for one who says or claims one thing and then does the exact oppposite. Ask your therapist which one applys to you.

The biggest delusional fanboy here is you. I make no bones about it, I prefer the Xbox 360 over the PS3. You're the idiot who makes nasty comments about the 360, it's users, and then turns around praises the Sony Corporate machine and it's fanbots. That is a perfect defination of "fanboy" and fits you to a "T".

You comments make that crystal clear, as well as your continued ignoring of the facts presented which leads me to believe you've been saddled with a prepubescent mentallity, you're bi-polar, or hell, you're just a willing Tool bag for Sony and enjoy trolling.

Worldwide the PS3 has been doing just as well if not a bit better than the 360 (thanks to Japan and some very pro-Playstation European countries), so Stringer does have a point. However, Sony still has a lot of catching up to do and it would be foolish to assume that MS won't try to win over as much of the European market as possible in the near future.

The guy must be delusional. The PS3 probably won't overtake the 360 for a few years... and then we'll be gearing up for the next 360, or as I'd like to think we'll call it: XXXBOX. :)

You guys should be doing look into it, the playstation has been out selling the xbox world wide from November on. It seems a bit hard for most of you to swallow but it's the truth, and 08 is the year for the playstation, any game that come out for the 360 is either going to get eclipsed by a playstation exclusive or be on the playstation it's self. the 360 has in fact lost steam. Sorry fanboys.

The sooner you wake up to realize this console vs. console stuff is innanely stupid, the happier you'll be. So Sony is playing with the facts in some instantly forgettable PR piece. So what. MS has done it too. End of story.
