Considering that everything PS3 is getting from here on out are multi plats, it's pretty much impossible for it to pass 360 at this point.


Well, it's still getting Persona 5 and some games which it shares only with PS4 or PSVita, so these still give it a bump when compared to the X360.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

 True, but it's unlikely the PS3 version of those games will sell very much, thanks to the PS4/ Vita versions. They might do better in Japan, since they're still reluctant to jump onto PS4 at the moment, but even that won't equate to much. An almost 30 million unit gap in software is a hard one to close at this point.

Maybe I'm delusional but I think most people is underestimating the PS brand in a worldwide scale, especially in developing countries. Stuff is still really expensive in those so they have to be patient, pretty sure PS3 can pull off decent numbers for some years more even if it doesn't sell a lot of new hardware.

In summary, I think the console still has a shot in beating 360's software numbers, it will be though as 360 is still selling at good pace but the fact that PS3 reached these figures in one year less makes it even more impressive. Anyway, we will see in a couple years more.



I guess this is suppose to be impressive? Wii had Ninty and thats pretty much it. Wii even being in the same league is terrible lol.

Wii had 15M more consumers to sell games to.

Take it anyway you want, though.

Yes 15M more "casuals" remember? Or since thats not very convenient to the discussion here, that doesn't matter? Casual gamers bought just as much as hardcore gamers, thats sad on so many levels.

...you realize third parties and Nintendo alike heavily catered to the casual crowd during the Wii generation, right? You couldn't find one Wii game display that wasn't 90% casual games and 10% anything else after awhile. Casual gamers had no shortage of games to buy. In fact, they were absolutely flooded. Then with the PS3, you have the unfortunate circumstance that it got the inferior version of many multiplats due to it being the one games got ported to because of its unique parts. Thus, the 360, along with having a more competent system of online even if it was subscription based, got a lot of people looking for the best quality versions of multiplat games, as well as the online dedicated population.

The PS3 had a lot of disadvantages throughout most of last gen, from its launch up until a couple of years before this generation launched. Even then, it hadn't lost those disadvantages. Rather, it had learned how to work with and around them.

What exactly did the casuals get that wasn't present for any other plat in history? The Wii won with little 3rd party support and half of Ninty's support. That is so sad for the PS3 its not even funny.

I'm not gonna enter a stupid discussion with you "Nintyfan90".
You can try as much as you want, it's just too obvious though.

The only person trying hard is you. I don't need to try, the proof is there. With the userbase the Wii had, it shouldn't have come anywhere near the PS3s software sells. Half of Ninty and Just Dance shouldnt have been anywhere near enough lol.

Keep trying bro.
I'll say it again, the pointless discuss you want, won't happen.

There is no discussion bro.
