Forums - Gaming Discussion - PS3 to have the most million sellers by the end of the gen

Going by your numbers then ye it definitely will :)



Around the Network

When it comes to total software sold both the 360 and the PS3 will be stuck in the slot that they are at now 5th and 6th place. The DS has a slight change of surpassing the Wii in total software sales but the gap between the DS and 360 is to large for the 360 to overtake. Like wise the gap between the 360 and PS3 is to large for the PS3 to overtake the 360. If everything goes right for the PS3 the rest of this generation then it might narrow the 88.41 million sales gap by 30 million but who knows since the 360 has still one of its biggest sellers in Halo 4 coming out this November. Also total software sales is much more important then the number of million seller since MS, Nintendo and Sony don't get paid more if a game sells more then a million copies as a matter of fact a game that sells over a million copies is much more likely to sell a lager amount of its total sales at discount prices and has a higher change of being bundled.

I don't see if happening tbh.

Care to give an explanation instead just disagreeing?

Just my opinion really on the amount of games coming out that will sell 1M+ on both platforms, I don't see Sony having enough big exclusives that are going to push them over 360's amount of million sellers.

Funny you'd like a explaination from the person disagreeing with you, and not the ones agreeing with you.


Only because its so obvious the PS3 is going to do it, it had like 80 million sellers in the last 2 years, a lot more then the X360 and the Wii which was creaming the PS3 two years ago.

Let's try something reasonable. Make up a list of all the games that are coming out on the X360 that you think will sell a million or more and I'll come out with a list of all Ps3 games, and we will see if we or others agree with our list just to get an idea of how many more million sellers each console left to come out. Fair enough?

The reason the ps3 rapidly caught up recently is because of a couple of multiplatform ps3 games that have recently hit a million that have been million sellers on the 360 for a while now. Examples Bioshock, beatles rock band, need for speed carbon, rage, mass effect 2, dead space 2, and dead island.

Lets just look at current games. Most games over 900k currently will eventually hit 1million imo. The 360 has 22 games between 900k-1mil. The PS3 has 19.

 

Games below 900k on the 360 that will hit 1million include brink, bulletstorm, undead nightmare, lego starwars 3, marvel vs capcom 3, kinect star wars, sonic generations, and brutal legends, resident evil ORC, fifa streeet. 10 games

On the ps3 twisted metal(if bundled), wwe 12, ratchet and clank all 4 one, one piece, sonic generations, homefront, pga tour 2012, resident evil ORC, fifa street and mass effect 3. 10 games

I based those games off how well they have already sold in 2012, compared to how much more they need for 1mil. 

As for future games, its hard to predict. There will probably be a few fps, extreme sports, and party games that make it to a million on the 360 and not the PS3 and probably a few fighting and racing games that sell a million on the ps3 and not the 360. I can't see any other genre selling 1mil+ on one system and not eventually on the other. As for exclusives games, 360 will have halo 4, forza horizon, kinect sports 3, dance central 3, kinect star wars most likely hit 1mil+. PS3 will have littlebigplanetkart, last of us, god of war 4, the last guardian most likely get 1mil+. Both systems will have a few smaller exclusives that have a shot at getting 1mil+ but I don't think games like sorcery and newer kinect ips are very likely to get 1mil. And both systems could potentially get future exclusives that will likely sell 1mil+. Uncharted 4, and Fable 4 come to mind.

While it certainly is possible for the ps3 to pass the 360, it isn't something that will obviously soon happen.



ok so how many games in the next few months will be million sellers for ps3 cause if anyone doesnt realize the next gen starts when the "Wii U" hits shelves, and current gen is considered over.

Although it's pretty hard to judge X360 aoftware sales as MS never gives info of software shipments like Sony and Nintendo. As much as I love vgchartz there are pretty huge errors in software tracking from time to time especially outside of Japan and America where PS3 does the best and X360 relatively worst.

Definitely happening, look at past.

Yes do that, I'm intrigued to see what is coming out for both consoles that will probably sell a million.

 

As to answer you question I say it's extremely possible because pretty much all multiplats that will sell a million on the 360 will sell a million on the PS3 as well and there are more exclusives that come out on the PS3 that sell a million then the 360.

A much more reasonable prediction than your other one about the Vita outselling the 3DS.


A couple years ago it wasn't, this thread is more of a recap on that prediction I made some time ago, letting people know now where the stances are :)

PS3: 74
360: 109
Wii: 91
DS: 113
PSP: 40

PS3 did a great job from Dec 2010 to Mar 2012 (1 year and 3 months).

Thanks ethomaz. Big proof right there showing the PS3 almost doubling it's number with 67 more compared to the Wii and X360 with only about 40 more million sellers.

just because some disagrees with you does not give you or anyone else the right to attack them
