Greenberg: 'Kudos to Sony NPD sales'

Microsoft product boss applauds rival's software success
What's this? A bit of humility creeping into the console war? Surely not.

Microsoft product director Aaron Greenberg - the man Sony fanboys love to hate - has congratulated Xbox's rival on PS3's US software sales in March, which were revealed in last night's NPD data.

Writing on Twitter, Greenberg congratulated Patrick Seybold, senior director of corporate communications for SCEA, on PS3's strong software sales in March.

He posted: '...another strong month, solid #2 on HW sales and growing again YOY. Kudos to @seybold for some strong SW sales.'

PS3 enjoyed four games in the list of the top ten-selling software of the month - including March's biggest title God of War 3, which sold 1.1 million copies.

Whatever helps you sleep at night, Ivan Rolling Eyes .

As for the article; "the man Sony fanboys love to hate" - I can quite confidently say that hate for Geenberg is by no means limited to Sony fanboys Wink .

It would seem he's damned if he does and damned if he doesnt going by the first couple of comments Confused .

Still, nice rabid Fanboy post there Ivan, very clear and concise with your mental views.

It was called Hell Toupee.

I’d buy a ticket for that right now if I could, I suggest you seek funding from the British Arts Council for that as that’s as sure fire a hit as I have ever heard, and people pitch programming ideas to me daily.

whats sony thinking?? gow3 and heavy rain creating huge demand for PS3s, and their out of stock?!

they clearly dont understand the consumers mindset, see next week they probobly forget about gow3 and see a comercial for splinter cell and go out and buy an xbox instead.
User75 on 16 Apr '10
Ivan -- you must be a very sad man to write thatpost. Without Microsoft, sony would not have to try half as hard and hence their games would suffer. Competition is needed and it is now an interesting battle for sales between the two. Next month Alan Wake will be the best selling game. When NAtal is release Xbox sales WILL fly up in UK, America and especially in Japan.

Humility is good, and if it leads to better games then all the better. No doubt his Sony counter part will feel more pressure to return the favour in the future... Very Happy

I also seriously doubt that either Natal or Move will cause 360's or PS3's to "fly" off the shelves. Confused

Core games will never be appealing to the masses.
Nintendo Wii is the leading console for a reason.

I am sure there is a Simpsons Tree House of Horror called Hell Toupee. Homer was possessed by that criminal bloke because he was executed. Had his hair made into a wig If I recall correctly. Smile

hahahhahahahahahha, what a load of bull!!. Sony games would not suffer if MS wasn't in the game. Infact it is the other way around the quality of games has suffered because of Microsoft, just look at final fantasy 13 that would have been a much better game if it wasn't for the Xbox limiting it.

I just looked at his post history, he even changed the topics to such classics as "Gaylo", "XBOX LIVE = LAG CHEATER" and "PS3RuLez#1". Brilliant if it wasn't for the fact that I'm probably the only person who's seen those little gems.

Conkers on 16 Apr '10
Amazing how a story about a MS corporate fanboy apparently being sportsmanlike prompts the worst kind of flamewar on both sides.

I do agree he's probably feeling a little smug that the Alan Wake launch will be HUGE. I also agree that RDR will blow it out of the water a week later, but probably only because it's multi format. In terms of 360 sales it'll be a close run thing, and in any case MS will make a mint in terms of software sales (and associated vicarious hardware sales)in May.

Then Sony will make a mint with the 3D launch.

Then MS will make a mint with the Natal launch.

Y'know, I'm with the Hell Toupee mob. Much more interesting posts going on there... Wink

I see, so Final Fantasy 13, in it's original state i.e. uncompressed and unrestricted, on PS3, was... limited by Xbox.

The quality of games is down to the DEVELOPER. They, you know, make the games? In FF13's case, it would appear Square Enix released a bit of a stinker. Not because it was on 360, but because it was monotonous, lobotomised crap on whichever system you played it.

Greenberg shouts about how rubbish Sony are, he gets flamed. Greenberg commends Sony on strong sales, he gets flamed. I'm fairly sure Greenberg would get flamed if he personally delivered pizza and beer to all of you.

You fanboys keep flapping your gums. I'm going to get back to Splinter Cell, then maybe later I will play some God of War 3 Cool

I'd give it a 7 out of 10.

You lost a couple of points by not adding a mention of the 'untapped potential of the Cell' - if you were to replace some of the letters with numbers, or threw in some reference to Halo being in some way homosexual, that would have also gained you more points.

Another great touch that we all like to see is a good, old fashioned list. We just can't get enough of them - for an insight into the art-form of list-making, check out the work of starsail....a true visionary.

Excellent. So you then agree that the PC trumps the consoles in terms of gaming capabilities, which in turn means you thus support the eradication of all the consoles in light of your previous argument that the PS3 would be better off without the Xbox 360 since it apparently lowers the quality of PS3 multi-platform titles.

Conclusion: You have just rendered your original point null and void. Better luck next time. Laughing

I do support the eradication of the xbox360 but not the ps3, why? because the ps3 has never limited the quality of pc games and it definitely would not be a benefit to gaming because we would never have got to have played great games like heavy rain, killzone 2, God of war 3 and in the near future gran turismo 5. Now you might say that without the xbox360 we would have never have been able to play games like Halo or Mass effect, but i don't consider any of those games to be of any quality, Halo sucked major balls and Mass Effect was held back by the xbox360.

I know exactly what hes doing. Its like watching a fight. If you talk sh*t about the guy (ex. you're a p*ssy, i'm gonna kick your ass) and then you lose, then you just look like an idiot. But if you praise the opponent about how great they are and then you win, you end up looking like a hero. If you lose then you can say well hes really good thats why we lost.

As for my fanboy post of the day.... I would buy a 360 but I'd never play it due to the fear of RROD.

lol I love my PC, its the platform I do most of my gaming on. Heck the only reason I came back to this site was because of the the starcraft 2 beta key contest.

Excellent. So you then agree that the PC trumps the consoles in terms of gaming capabilities, which in turn means you thus support the eradication of all the consoles in light of your previous argument that the PS3 would be better off without the Xbox 360 since it apparently lowers the quality of PS3 multi-platform titles.

Conclusion: You have just rendered your original point null and void. Better luck next time. Laughing

I do support the eradication of the xbox360 but not the ps3, why? because the ps3 has never limited the quality of pc games and it definitely would not be a benefit to gaming because we would never have got to have played great games like heavy rain, killzone 2, God of war 3 and in the near future gran turismo 5. Now you might say that without the xbox360 we would have never have been able to play games like Halo or Mass effect, but i don't consider any of those games to be of any quality, Halo sucked major balls and Mass Effect was held back by the xbox360.

You are entitled to your own point of view (which I disagree with incidentally). Your claim that Halo and ME were sub-par quality wise is one that I question. I played Halo on the PC and enjoyed it. I also played ME on the PC (which got an updated and superior version compared to the original release on the Xbox 360) and enjoyed it tremendously as well. Using those two examples of why the Xbox 360 hampers the PC fail spectacularly.

Seems to me you have a sizable case of sour grapes. Especially since this article is about an MS representative congratulating a Sony representative on Sony's PS software sales.
The_KFD_Case on 16 Apr '10
haha bipod you fail badly you see those games that you said were held back by the 360 dont they all have better scores than them games? so much for the better ps3 games Laughing mass effect 2 is better than anything sony will have out this year, oh and gran turismo keep dreaming, the only reason they keep delaying it is because it is not up to the quality of racing games like forza 3, need for speed and dirt 2 so they have too keep going back to the drawing board so i doubt we will see that for a while

Ivan -- you must be a very sad man to write thatpost. Without Microsoft, sony would not have to try half as hard and hence their games would suffer. Competition is needed and it is now an interesting battle for sales between the two. Next month Alan Wake will be the best selling game. When NAtal is release Xbox sales WILL fly up in UK, America and especially in Japan.

hahahhahahahahahha, what a load of bull!!. Sony games would not suffer if MS wasn't in the game. Infact it is the other way around the quality of games has suffered because of Microsoft, just look at final fantasy 13 that would have been a much better game if it wasn't for the Xbox limiting it.

I didn't feel the need to respond to your last post because I would be repeating myself. You say that my arguments are based off of my personal opinion but by reading your last post and going throw your post history are you not guilty of the same crime?, or do you consider your rantings to be irrefutable fact?
bipod on 16 Apr '10
well the fact that you said halo is balls and you got bored of mass effect 2 not personal opinion? haha well mines are not all personal opinion most are hard facts that sony fanboys cant except

Why do people not realise that either Microsoft or Sony backing out of the console scene would be tremendously bad for the whole gaming world? If Xbox did get 'eradicated', and MS decided not to bother making a third console, Sony would essentially have a monopoly on the powerhouse consoles - it would be the only one on the market. And that's when Sony could ROYALLY take the p*ss - huge peripheral costs, sub par games, the works. Competition is good! Rolling Eyes

Was it Sony that made Heavy Rain great? Or was that Quantic Dream? Was it Sony that made Killzone 2 great? Or was that Guerilla Games? These games would have been just fine without Sony...

And citing a future game as being great... Desperation...

Xbox 360 limiting PC games? What a load of s**t from someone who is clearly a f**king idiot.

Jesus man - you need to stop playing games and go back to school. Is this sentence even English?

I'll ignore the fact that you are clearly a moron condoning the piracy of every game on a certain platform...

LOL at IVAN_PSP. I don't think the word "vanishes" was what you meant and being the dick that I am I'm not going to tell you what word you meant. Just letting it be known that "vanishes" isn't it fool.
horngreen on 17 Apr '10
I think i should be the one to execute him with my three Xbox 350 and 4 PS3 it feels right. After i will him for part to sponsor another PS3 100 plus exclusives.

Thanks everyone for your support to make people like him extinct. Send me your hate to Gamertag Ivan PSP or PSN ID: Ivan-
Ivan_PSP on 17 Apr '10
Well said Greenbrug, yes I agree with him the PS3 is the monster that destroys other consoles!!
HITMANBAZZA on 17 Apr '10
A world with only playstation would be very sad indeed-s**t controller for a start!

The gaming world world needs competition or things would quickly stagnate.

Xbox is not to the detriment of pc or playstation.The 360 is a quality machine and a few sony fanboys will just never accept that.Just play the games and try and get along(Never happen but you never know).
smegpot on 17 Apr '10
do cvg not ban people for death threats? lmao ivan is just one of the ps3 fanboy parasites, just shows why psn's community is s**t
dorian2011 on 17 Apr '10
I wonder if the majority of people understand that the people who work at MS are pretty good friends with the people who work at Sony. None of the smack talking is personal, its either an injoke or just propaganda that websites latch on to. So its hardly surprising when someone comes out and says 'Good Job' to the otherside. They're all in it together in the end.
Its only the public who have this weird tribal mentality.

Although i lean slightly more to the ps3 side than to the 360 side (a few RROD does that to a man), i think Ivan is a complete tard and should be shot on sight. The man gave a compliment. Say thank you and move on. Be the bigger man by accepting it gracefully in stead of throwing it back in his face. Idiot Ivan.

As for the quoted text, that is pretty much all wrong except for the claim "competition is good". That you got right. But the claim that Sony would take the p**s if MS didn't step in the console war is pretty much wrong. For one, Sony had the PS1 era pretty much to themselves because Sega and Nintendo were either too weak or too late to make a dent. Sony liberated developers from the brutal cartridge prices Nintendo charged. I can't really recall skyhigh hardware or software prices from Sony from that era , can you? Nothing like MS harddisk prices type s**t. Same goes for Ps2. Pretty much no competition (xbox was WAY late to the party) and still prices were normal. And also lots of great titles from the Sony studio's. So Sony pretty much behaved all that time. You might give them the benefit of the doubt.

Maybe they realised that him and his comments were as popular as George W Bush, and asked him to change them a little to win people back over!

Ive said before that this guy makes me want to buy anything other than MS Xbox next gen.

It would be a bit like voting for Gordon Brown.
Barca Azul on 17 Apr '10
Sony fans wont be able to use the "potential of the cell" comment anymore as Xbox fans will point out that "The Cell" was released on Friday and was Xbox exclusive!

I think we need to apply some impartiality here as the fanboys are taking control of this board (particularly those Xbox 360 parasites like Dorian).

Greenbore is tactically mocking Sony by suggesting he's impressed with their sales (almost as if he praising the efforts of a company new to the market) but truth be told, he's sweating because of the progress Sony is making.

The fact that the Xbox 360 lacks decent exclusives (Halo 3 and ODST being s**t in comparison to the rest of the series, Gears of War being too clunky, Forza being crap until the third game, which was then too cartoony), MS has now realised that even with their solid Live community, PS3 will eventually dominate the market again.

MS have ripped customers off long enough with their add ons (plug and play, no USB media, wifi add on, no browser etc etc) and they only drop the price of Xbox when Sony drop PS3's (why not do it at an earlier date?). I think the market would be healthier once Sony's back in front.

Regarding Nintendo, I think they're in a league of their own, for better or worse, im sure the fanboys can decide.

PC gaming? LOL

See, a little impartiality doesn't hurt now and again Wink

When Halo 3 first came out i was a little dissapoointed because i didn't have live. The real improvements came in the months and years after the realease, which made it my online game of choice. I thought ODST was decent but overhyped, still a great game for something they only had a year on

'Pretty much a monopoloy' and a monoploy are two different things. Besides, Sony would have to have been utter imbeciles to price hike things in their first foray into the console world. They did an excellent job of gaining a foothold - something which wouldn't have happened had they charged over the odds for games et al.

As for the PS2, that had competition for the Xbox and Gamecube. Neither may have been great competition (though I did love the 'cube back then), but it was competition nonetheless.

Don't get me wrong, I'm hoping Halo Reach will reignite the franchise as Halo Combat Evolved is still one of my all time favourite games (up there with Mario 64, Final Fantasy 7 and Thunder Force 4).

I hope the campaign is longer (10 hours isnt too much to ask) and features iron sights, next gen graphics, return to Phantoms etc etc etc etc ... ahk, I just hope they make it better although there'll be no doubt about its sales and only GT5 or the next COD will be able to match them.

lmao starsail you talk a heap of pish you know sweet FA about games, my evidence? you said resistance was better than halo and even said whit knights was a decent game lmao. ps3 has a terrible community, and you call me a parasite? i dont start flamewars like your unfair lists and inaccurate ones at that i only defend the 360 from deluded fanboys like yourself

Fair enough, but it kind of defeats the purpose if you act like a fanboy yourself. It's just another status quo.
Having a fair argument without serious insults, picking on people etc. is quite satisfying Wink . You seem to be one of the better fanboys around here, from what i see. Take a step forward. You can make a difference! Razz
