Darc Requiem on 20 November 2008
| MikeB said: @ Darc Requiem The 360's lead over the PS3 was 5.5 million when the PS3 launched and now its 5.9 million. Regarding known sales figures (financial sales data) the gap by Dec 2006 was 8.72 million units (before the PS3 launched in Europe), so just before the PS3's European launch it was probably near 9 million. By September 2008 the gap was 5.66 million, but the PS3 is still to officially launch in various countries where the 360 has already been on the market since years ago. The 360 is now being sold here for only 149 Euro together with a game and memory card, certainly the entry price cannot drop much further and all important XBox games have already seen 360 sequels, so the pool of remaining upgrading XBox fans will likely be very thin for next year. |
The PS3 launched November 11, 2006. As of that date the 360 had sold 5.53 million consoles. I looked it up before I made my initial post. Here is the link below.
The PS3 is currently 5.9 million units behind the 360 as of the current numbers on the front page. It's farther behind now than when it launched. You're cherry picking to try and make the PS3's situation look better than it is.
