Forums - Sales Discussion - How much will the PS3 outsell the Xbox 360 by next week?

zackblue on 11 June 2008

80-200k, its possible it can outsell the wii, but not likely.

As seen by the amazing sell outs for the MGS4 bundle, its not impossible either so we have to wait and see, in the mean time....

PS3: 22M

360: 25M

the only reason the gap has closed is because of the mgs4 deals with the console.

after the mgs4 launch ps3 will remain ahead, the only way for 360 to level weekly sales is by reducing its price, thats a bad sign, that a console half the price in most parts doesnt sell as amny as something twice its price lol



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

1. 100-140k with 120k most likely
2. 20-50k with 35k most likely (most of this due to reintro of 80GB, not MGS4)
3. Yes. and pigs'll fly, Nintendo will die and M$ will call the FBI......



Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it

1. It depends on how many of the bundles Sony made available. It's sold out everywhere so I'm figuring they didn't make too many - maybe due to cost.
so I'll say 70,000

2. 35,000
3. what?

@ starcraft

I did. I also said that MGS is the overwhelmingly dominant game in that niche genre.

Dominating a niche genre does wonders for profits. *cough* Mario *cough*

Put some numbers up. I'm pretty sure you didn't envision the 360 getting within 10k a week at any point this year. What do you expect the lasting difference to be post-MGS4?


IMO Mario doesn't cover a niche gerne, it's one of the most important game franchices ever, appealing to all kinds of people.

Like I said before once MGS4 hits I don't see much chance of the 360 outselling the PS3 worldwide again. However the 360 still has millions XBox fans in North America and Europe who still haven't upgraded towards the 360, this despite nearly all popular XBox games already received sequels (only Fable 2 and the multi-platform game Starwars remaining, coming out this year and there's GeOW 2, so this year should still be fine overall).

- I think about 250 first week sales for Japan, over 1 million lifetime sales.
- For the North America, about 500K first week sales, but this depends greatly upon the amount of available bundles, lifetime sales over 1.5 million lifetime sales.
- For Europe I expect about 550K first week sales. lifetime sales over 2 million.

Worldwide PS3 hardware sales for the first week will IMO greatly depend on bundle availability. I expect hardware sales to be of about double that of 360 hardware sales.
