GameCube sold 22 million consoles. Virtual Boy was dead in under a year. “I really think it’s safe to say that the Virtual Boy and Gamecube weren’t winners though”

"sad pathetic poor little haters." Jeez, wipe your nose and go finish your homework. Bottom line is the PS3 has been outsold by the other two nex-gen systems since its launch! When the PS3 launched the 360 was a little over 7 million units sold wordwide. Now the 360 has 10.7 mil units sold, the PS3 under 2 million, and the Wii is at over 5 mil. So during this great launch you speak of the PS3 actually LOST GROUND to the 360. Hate to tell you this, but if a console can't gain ground during its initial launch it's not good. When do you expect them to catch up if they don't do it when they launch over the Christmas season? Maybe there's a big 4th of July console season some of us hasn't heard about??? Sony will gain ground when it launches in Europe, and it will sell a lot of PS3s over the next few years. But it will not catch the 360. To catch up by mid-2010 as some of the idiot analysts have predicted, Sony will need to sell 200,000 more units than the 360 EVERY MONTH FOR THE NEXT 38 MONTHS. Sorry, that hasn't been happening and it isn't going to happen. Like I said, when it launches in Europe it will gain a lot for a few months. Then, it will quietly settle down like it has every where else. Sorry, I shouldn't have gotten so worked up on this. But lately the Sony snivelers are really starting to grate on my nerves. I think someone needs to make a support group for them. @lol, you make me lol. “sad pathetic poor little haters.” Jeez, wipe your nose and go finish your homework.

Most of time what they wish for are always going the opposite ways. I am not sure what this article is going to accomplish anything, but to come out and specifically put down PS3 not xbox 360 or Wii is low. Neutrality...Neutrality... is the best practice.

Oh and heres news, PS3 is infact The Most Wanted Console in Europe...seems preorder numbers are historical for any consoles. PS3 has more preorders then 360 or Wii. Sony in 07!

Why are we getting offended and angry about things like this? What does it matter that the majority of people don't like or like a certain system. Just buy what you like and everything is good right? Why, oh why, do we on this planet want the majority of humans to like what we like. Why is it, that if PS3's get bad ratings we get angry. Damian, buddy, if you like the PS3, then good for you, and don't worry about what other people like. Thank you, we are all in this together friends. -N. Otwar Damian, and fellow dudes.

I find it very funny that their arrogance is biting them right in the ass. "We're Playstation! People will buy our console no matter what, and if they don't it's society's fault!" I hope they fail so that they can pump up the quality more and cut the "We're better then you" crap. I’m sorry but Sony screwed me over to many times for me to feel sympathy for them.

Did Stevens' little article make you cry or something? And he is, in fact, making some good points. Your article, on the other hand, seems a bit juvenile. I like your "People are just poor and finnicky" comment. So if people don't buy your precious PS3 they're poor and finicky?? Or, maybe they just don't want one. Grow up man. And stop the "PS3 haters" sniveling crap, that's getting old. Dude, relax. Did Stevens’ little article make you cry or something? And he is, in fact, making some good points.
