Forums - Sales Discussion - PS3 fans shouldn't stress too much at increased Xbox 360 EU sales.

How anyone can say its most likely possible for the PS3 will take over the 360 in 09 is beyond me. Not after today. I actually believe the 360 can take this christmas -wii.

The only chance the PS3 has of overtaking the 360 in 09 is if the price cut happens in March, not September.

Perhaps, but most of the Ohio precincts have yet to be counted.

To lavish praise upon this title, the assumption of a common plateau between player and game must be made.  I won't open my unworthy mouth.

the fact of the matter is these games would probably be on the Wii if the Xbox 360 wasn't bolstering the HD base.

Sometimes, we need to support our common gaming goal: a world in which both high-budget immersive games and causal games are sustainable, rising above petty HD-console politics.

 

 good point. I never looked at it that way. I guess its really HD vs. Wii

I think it largely is when it comes to securing third party support.

Neither HD console can compete on it's own and win on a regular basis.  Due to it's high attach rate for third parties, the Xbox 360 can win a lot on it's own, but I personally would rather have the PS3 bolstering the effort to ensure as many games as possible hit HD.

Worldwide in '08 (according to the site) there were still 1.33million more PS3's sold in comparison to 360's. Just to get some perspective.

They would need Gears 2 to give them MGS4 launch numbers to have any hope of beating them in 08, but that would mean bundling the game in all regions not just EU. I think it could get close...maybe 800K difference in the end.



No shit its one week don't sweat it.



Yep, game wise the only lost exclusives will be ones MS buys which will probably be less and less as the generation continues, the only downside on the PS3 front is that more and more games will continue to be ports enhanced for the 360.



It should help Microsoft profitability to maintain such a good sales rate, Jasper is imminent and that should really help them post good profits in the last two quarters of this financial year.



Tease.

The X360 is down this week in Others, relative to last, and the PS3 is up.

Did I miss something in the data?
