360 beats PS3 in GT5 launch Week.
360 is a BEAST!
|
Not really with only a relative 40,000 difference when you consider that the Xbox 360 has almost always greatly outsold the PS3 in the Americas and the casual audience target of Kinect. But that's just my humble opinion.
:)

Seriously? The 360 sold 540k WW last year (and was outsold by the PS3 in Americas 486k vs. 353k). This year the 360 has sold 844k WW (up over 300k YOY) and outsold the PS3 in the Americas 604k vs. 411k. The PS3 even had Sony's biggest franchise game launch, giving it an extra boost.
I'd say the 360 is doing extremely well at the moment.

The keyword here is "context" in which the Xbox 360 is a beast in comparison to PS3 sales which isn't, again, in my humble opinion. But, yes, the Xbox 360 sales itself is a beast, but so is the PS3 just not quite as the Xbox 360.
|
Last year PS3's 778k vs. 360's 540k. This year PS3's 803k (w/GT5 launch) vs. 360's 844k. I'd say it is a beast in comparison to the PS3. Many people thought the PS3 would do over 1 million with GT5's launch and Black Friday. Instead it gets outsold by the 360...

Doesn't matter, not a factor what people predicted. And last year's PS3 had a redesign and a price drop. This year the Xbox 360 had a redesign and aesthetically a pricedrop when you consider the difference in value between new and old Xbox 360 models. So no surprise there not counting my previous mentioned reasons. Peace, man.
