Why did the PS3 get a bigger boost than the 360? Holiday + price cut starting to help it out?

Wii looks like it's going to start the domination again soon.

Batman Arkham City didn't do quite as well as I thought it would but i'm sure it will have great legs, also Forza 4 has another rather disappointing week, unless MS bundles it for a really long period of time it will not outsell Forza 3.

And it's always great to see Halo Reach in that list, hopefully sales start to increase soon.

second week of forza 3 in NA is November

Still though they are only a week or two apart Forza 4 deserves better sales than it's getting.

it will,just wait

Nope 360 outsold 2005-2008. 

PS3 outsold 2009-2011? Thats 3 years if they do it this year. 


PS3 wasn't out in 2005 and did not release until November in 2006. Hardly a fair comparison.

 

That is like me saying "Big whoop" to your comparison because PS2 outsold 360 from 2001-2006.

PS2 comment means nothing since your talking about 2 seperate generations. Also PS3 was out in 2005.....in Sony fans hearts :P. I kid I kid. 

But the comment wasn't about 360, just addressing the years that PS3 actually outsold 360, which would be 3 years if they do it this year.

Fair? Who said business was fair? MS released first and Sony waited. That means that 2005 was a given, 2006 was a given, and the headstart momentum made 360 win in 2007/2008 as well. But again, this comment wasn't supposed to be about the 360. 

Go ahead and make that comparison if you wish. I am just saying that it isn't really a yearly victory worth celerating when according to your logic MS was only competing with themselves.

You're celebrating a win in a one person race.

I don't know I just don't have faith that it will sell that well at all. I think maybe 2.5-3 million is possible without bundles.

The gap in late 2008 was over 8 million I believe.

Multiplatform games on PS3 are crushing the xbox versions when you take install base into account

Taking install bases into account, "just" the first week sales of halo 3 crushed total worldwide sales of every single ps3 and xbox 360 exclusive to come out in the last 2 years combined. Now are you telling me that is meaningful in any way, because if not neither is your comment.

And besides even with install bases taken into account, most multiplatform games this year sold better on the 360.

 

Anyway as for the sales. Good numbers all around. Looks like the wii is going to end up winning another holiday season. With the wii u coming out next year this will probably be the last time.
