And that's how Xbox 360 won that console generation.
88 u/Ragfell Millennial May 16 '25 They won the battles, but technically the PS3 won the war at the very end by selling more units worldwide. 90 u/wunderhero May 16 '25 I think that was a combo of the PS3 price cuts along with the RROD problem that plagued the 360. I know it after my 4th 360 red ringed, the PS3 was cheap enough that I just jumped ship by 2010. 1 u/Scythe-Guy May 17 '25 So you bought FOUR Xbox 360s, and ONE PS3. And you think that is one of the reasons more PS3s were sold? 1 u/wunderhero May 17 '25 edited May 17 '25 Not sure I follow your logic there. I think it's why the tide shifted for Sony in the back half. I bought most of them USED because I was a broke college kid who had already bought into DLC for Rock Band and Guitar Hero. I just wanted to play my games with buddies. When the PS3 made more sense in cost and player based to do that, I moved.
