UK:RESISTANCE: SOME PEOPLE BOUGHT A PS3 LAST WEEK

SOME PEOPLE BOUGHT A PS3 LAST WEEK

So, PS3 sales are up 178%. Amazing. Except that when you start being given percentage figures instead of actual sales figures you know someone is trying to hide something. You see, in the previous week PS3 only sold a measley 6700 machines. 20,000 less than the 360, so despite the increase it is still falling short by a long measure, shifting only about 18000 units. What's worse for Sony, is that nearly 90% of those sales were for the soon-to-be-discontinued 60GB backwards-compatible version. That is REALLY bad news for the senior executive that thought the public would want to buy a Chavtastic Gimped machine. In summary, PS3 = Fucked. Move along now.

And it's only one paragraph. 1/10.

Don't get me wrong, I love to hear any evidence that Sony is failing, but his update was just plain lazy.

At least it's a good excuse for a celebratory wank.

Now I'm not very good at maths, but as far as I can make out a 178% increase on 6700 units is only 11,926 sold. I think. But you're talking about it selling 18,000.

So are the figures even more wrong, or have I just misread that one single paragraph you call an 'update'?

ixmhhvio - one of these new-fangled internet acronyms that's something to do with having an opinion.

Ooshka; 6700 units to 11,926 units would be a 78% increase, this is a 178% increase.

'Mad props' *cough* to whoever posted this celebratory wanking excuse on NeoGaf.

Further evidence as to why Jax should never, ever be allowed to do updates that aren't Forza 2 cars.
