We all consider 2007 to be a big failure for the PS3 but with a $500-600 price for 10 months out of the year and "no games" (360 owners want us to believe this one, rofl) it's amazing to see that the 360 could only sell a mere 10% more for a full year.

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 07th Jan 2007 to 16th Dec 2007:

Console	Wii	PS3	X360
Total	13,844,642	6,463,587	7,095,213
America	6,209,280	2,390,606	4,674,698
Japan	3,106,199	1,049,256	232,082
Total Others	4,529,163	3,023,725	2,188,433

 

 

I can't believe the PS3 will do worse next year. I actually think the PS3 can double it's 2007 sales with the lower price and lots of new titles.

Am I alone? Anyone here realistically believes the PS3 can do worse or repeat the "crappy" performance of 2007?

I think in 2008 the Ps3 might eat down that 7.3M lead to 3.5M or even less. 

 

For the undisputed leader last gen and a console that supposedly attracts audiences in all the major markets, yeah, it actually is bad coming in 3rd place. There's no way to spin that.

What was the market share between PS2 and XBox?  What's the marketshare between PS3 and XBox 360? 

 I don't think anyone expected 360 to obliterate the PS3 in sales. However there were plenty who said "Give it a year" for the PS3 as if after a year it would miraculously begin kicking butt... something that hasn't begun happening yet.

If anything, they're flat in Japan and dismal in the US. Others is keeping them afloat right now.
