360 Is Selling Twice As Many Online-Capable Games As PS3.

When it comes to the sales of online-capable games the 360 is crushing the PS3. Straight-up top-rope elbow dropping that sumbitch.

Joystiq:

The NPD Group has released a set of charts highlighting sales in various video game categories over the last few years. Of particular interest is a graph representing online-capable sales between 2006 and 2010. The Xbox 360 leads in the category, with online-capable game sales consistently doubling that of PlayStation 3 since 2008. The Wii reached roughly half of the PS3’s online-capable sales in 2008, though that number declined through 2010.

When it comes to points cards used to purchase games and downloadable content online, the Xbox 360 trounces the competition with sales growing steadily every year. Sales of Sony’s PSN cards seem to be on the rise, however, while Wii Point card sales have remained relatively flat.

Even before it went down, I considered the PSN a piece of shit. The death of it it via hackery and tomfuckery only confirmed that belief of mine. Unfair correlation? Absolutely. Until Sony figures out how to make their network feel like a community, it isn’t going to appeal to me. It feels sleek in a sterile sort of way, whereas Live! is warm and cozy. Home to a pantheon of fucking retards and costing money, but still it tickles me.
