Forums - Sales Discussion - Worldwide Up 10 September 2011

Why do people comment that R3 sold weak?
Did they even try to look beyond this one game?
If you just look at "this weeks" top10 then you'll see that the PS3 has 2 new exclusives and 2 new multiplatformer in its, while the X360 only has 2 new multiplatformers in the weekly top10.
If you add all the numbers in the top10 per console* then you'll see this;
PS3 - Hardware: 208,885 - Software: 1,231,791 - 5 games / 4 new
X360 - Hardware: 122,217 - Software: 676,949 - 3 games / 2 new

An excellent week for the PS3!
* = The Wii, (3)DS and PSP aren't even competing this week.

I honestly don't see 360 outselling the PS3 for the year with PS3 leading by more than a million already.


I can see it. MW3 360 Bundle + gears 3 360 Bundle+ kinect 360 bundle.

 

And yes MW3 will move tons of consoles for microsoft. Every year someone says everyone who is going to buy mw3 or gears 3 already has a 360 but. but every year the the sequals come out the ahrdware goes up significantly



I was rather surprised by Resistance sales. No one of my friends have the game and I was hearing a lot of negative news about the sales not that it was doing great, Kinect got a drop? Losing his appeal? PS3 got great sales the gap between X360 and PS3 schrink fast.... Wonder how good the X360 sales will be with GEOW 3? 300k HW?

- And where is the million sellers thread? (It is getting interesting)...

- Maybe sounds like a stupid question but when we see the boost from the holidays coming in? (I remember ioi saying last year that in Europe the holidays boost starts early).

Gears 3 will allow MS to be about even with the PS3 for that week, so no gain there. I agree that MW3 will boost the 360 more but not enough to close the gap. Fifa 12 will give a huge boost to the PS3 in EMEAA also, people tend to forget how monstrous that game is in Europe. The gap will only grow until the holidays.


I think the PS3 will outsell the 360 (WW) through the holidays, not just until.

American sales will scale up, i get that.. but just watch, in Microsofts best possible scenario, they will tie the PS3's sales over the holiday period. Not beat. They are already down by over 60k a week on average.

are we counting on 3rd party games to pull the 360 up? with their $400 bundles.. ? Maybe Kinect!? because thats what it did last year...(but thats when it launched)

Battlefield 3 and MW3 are on PS3 too people!

I see zero advantage for the 360 this holiday. Not unless they drop the price. If they do- then yes they will win the holidays

Only one Wii title in the top 10 and I don't think that's going to change much in the next 4 months with he holydays almost on us..


It's funny, that's actually better than I'd expect, for a console that everybody just decided to stop making games for, including Nintendo. Can't have games on the top 10 if there are no games in the first place. Just boggles my mind how what was potentially the most successful console ever got treated like the freakin 3DO in terms of its game library these past couple of years..

Also, it is interesting how the PS3 outsold the 360 by 86,000 units for this weeks data and the gap of 3.1 million between overall lifetime sales of the two consoles became 3.2 million!

Way to go 360!
These things happen all the time though.

a) Use the refresh button

b) Learn about rounding numbers

c) Why would anyone care as we approach holiday season?



PS3 did so well simply because of Tales of xillia I expect the same sort of sales next week from the 360 due to Gears of war 3.
