So, we should get an official announcement from Microsoft next NPD!

Grats. Got to say, they went all out on America and its worked better than anyone expected.

No, it's still 1.5m behind Wii in US.


Will happen by the end of December.

OT: Can't believe somebody on a sales site is moaning about someone making a thread on this ... course it doesn't fucking matter just like a lot of things sales related don't.

actually somebody on a sales site is moaning about someone making a thread  on thing to parody that someone on a sales site was moaning about someone making a thread on this same topic when the ps3 was about to outsell the 360.

edit: found the thread/post that everyone got upset about...

 The Ps3 will FINALLY pass the xbox360 at some point,so what,s the big deal?it,s only 2013

Looks like MS fans are already preparing their "It doesn't matter" speeches.

Ive been saying this since 2010. We all know its gonna happen at some point. 

But for the former #1 brand in gaming to crawl to 2nd place after 7+ years and in all likelihood after the next xbox is released, not to mention the marketshare gains Xbox has made at the expense of Sonys.......to celebrate victory is to celebrate lowering the bar for your faction.

So by all means, celebrate

 

...this forum gets hard to read a times because you have to remember the history of everything that's ever happened.

 

OT - gratz 360!

But Nintendo released a new console/the next gen is here, so it doesn't matter. That is what was said when PS3 overtook 360, right?

Didn't recent MS and Sony numbers reveal that PS3 never actually overtook it? Not that it won't happen eventually anyway.


Going from memory that was for WW not US. However (Can't remember the number), MS announced they shipped 80 mill ww back in september. So announced they shipped 80 mill ww like 6 weeks later. accurate or not both ps360 did very well this gen.

Well I'd hope they'd do well in the US, not like they give a shit about the rest of the world.

YAY MURICA!


Yet they've outsold PS3 WORLD WIDE.

 

You know, in the whole world.

 

Despite PS3 having a 10 million advantage in Japan.

But it hasn't. It's also not a 10 million difference unless you completely take out the 360 sales form Japan.

Anyways, congratz MS on market lead for US.

Even I am a Xbox fan, I don't care if Xbox360 surpasses Wii in US. At this moment, I only expect X1 can be released soon in my country - Holland.....

Congrats to Microsoft. To imagine it is only Microsoft's 2nd console and they disrupted the market the way they did. Very well deserved Microsoft.

PS2... Just sayin =P

That's mean, nothing looks impressive to a 2nd console when you bring up PS2.

Congrats :) It doesnt matter if next gen is here, those sales are still legitimate. the 360 still has some life in it yet.
