Forums - Sales Discussion - GTA IV the beginning of the end of the XBOX 360?

the 360 is just starting the continuos fight for the second place, they will need another halo probably few months after Gears of war 2... And a price cut to match the wii... they will survive, and I am not sure if the PS3 will pass the 360 anytime soon.

Justforeggs, quit making me look bad for liking the same console as you. And please smash your nuts with a hammer so you can't curse later generations with your genes.

OT: I'm kind of happy, things went how I figured. PS3 winning in hardware. 360 winning in software, but not to the degree that it's install base would indicate. All in all a satisfying feeling, now on to Others numbers. I can't wait.



...

@ GRAH its true

for every 5 360 in america ONLY 1 person bought gta iv :(

BUT for every 3.5 ps3 in america! 1 gta iv was sold!!!!!!


i thinkt he 360 gta numbers are shamefull if you look at the attach rate :)

gotta love sony :)



mgs4 will sell 2.4m week 1

japan:500k

others: 1m

NA:900k

AAA (90%+) games (metacritic):

nintendo:65

Xbox: 42

playstation: 98

I don't remember any xbox fans saying that 360 will outsell PS3 lifetime.
We all knew that PS3 will overtake 360 and that it will happen somewhere between 2009 and 2011.

so again, why is this the beginning of an end for 360?
360 owners have bought close to 100m games (will pass in couple of week or less).

Plus, why are PS3 fanboys celebrating for? Wii still kicked PS3's balls. (and 360)

360 had great numbers this week and will continue with NG and Fable 2 and others.

I think ioi's got his numbers wrong..

If Sony consoles had outsold the 360, Sony would of had a press release, and a small party to congratulate themselves..

anyways will see what happens

Actually Sony America(SCEA)did announce that the sales in NA have spiked and Gamestop manager Confirmed it,,

 

here is the article:

I don't see the part where Sony says they outsold the 360...

All the article says is that Sony commented on a boost and that MS hasn't replied yet

See bolded. =)

EDIT: Made post shorter. Even though this makes it a bit longer again. Meh, its still shorter. 



@gbex,,,

I don't think they'll comment on that till NPD comes out ,,,no company would compare itself to the competition when they don't know the competitors figures.(hence they waiy for NPD)



 

 

 

there is no 3rd place, there are only 2 HD consoles in the race.



@ epine

Clearly, I'm talking about HARDWARE in this thread...

If you read the OP, where I compare HARDWARE, then you'd see how much of a fool you've made of yourself in your post.

It's okay, you can apologize.

yes...its all over. The fact that 360 will outsell the ps3 in software for another 2 years means nothing what so ever.

It means 360 had a head start.

The sales trend we are seeing will NOT reverse itself.
