2010: 8.1 million PS3s, 5.8 million Xbox 360s

http://www.examiner.com/video-game-in-national/ps3-tops-over-41-5-million-units-trails-xbox-360-by-less-than-3-million

Sony has released sales data for Q2 and in the results they post strong sales for the PlayStation brand, but sales for the PS3 in Sony's fiscal 2010 have been strong with sales close to 6 million as of the end of September. In other news, Sony's PS3 has also closed the gap in worldwide sales against Microsoft's Xbox 360.

WorldWide Sales:
Xbox 360: 44.5 million
Sony PS3: 41.6 million

While both figures are impressive, Sony has had a stronger 2010 than Microsoft with over 8.1 million PS3s sold compared to Microsoft's 5.8 million Xbox 360s. Microsoft currently has a strong grasp on sales in North America, but Sony is selling well in Japan, while PAL regions the race is still close. With Microsoft's release of Kinect in just a couple weeks, Microsoft should keep the lead if sales remain strong in North America; however, Sony has the release of Gran Turismo 5 to draw gamers in with. The holidays will spice things up and make it interesting to watch, but in the end it's the gamers that will win with great new software and releases.



"Well certainly with the Xbox 360, we had some challenges at the launch. Once we identified that we took control of it. We wanted to do it right by our customers. Our customers are very important to us." -Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb (10/2013). Note: RRoD was fixed with the Jasper-revision 3 years after the launch of 360

It's been like this since the adjustments =p



Wonder how small the gap really is? Substract the number multiple purchases. I have a feeling that number is slightly (hah!) larger for 360.

i believe that there is quite possibly over a few million dupluicate purchases, considering banned modded 360s and the massive failure rate of the old 360 SKU's. however despite even this, its clear that there is now a strong chance for the PS3 next year imo!!

sigh

no.. this is merely reporting the shipped numbers we have all read all over the place here.

no need for a new thread every time it is reported is there?




It's from another source. Some people like to get information from multiple sources. You should try it sometime.



PS3 fanboys.......ur so funny! Check the numbers again. I think the PS3 is outselling the Wii's lifetime sales. Ha ha ha. Always someone wishing they weren't in third.



Why does vgchartz have the xbox 360 as 7.2million this year and this source has it as 5.8million?

Which one of these numbers is correct because that's a big difference...



It says 44.1 for 360 in th title but 44.5 in the article. Which is it?



19:44:34 Skeezer METAL GEAR ONLINE
19:44:36 Skeezer FAILURE
19:44:51 ABadClown You're right!
19:44:55 ABadClown Hur hur hur
19:45:01 Skeezer i meant
19:45:04 Skeezer YOU ARE A FAILKURE
19:45:08 Skeezer FAILURE*

So vgchartz still have wrong numbers for ps3.
