Why has the PS3 outsold the 360 by almost 1.5 million units this year?

It is a combination of the XBox 360 being a non-factor in Japan^(1)(2)(3), a lower priced model of the PS3 being released late in 2007⁽⁴⁾, Blu-Ray winning the format war with the PS3 being the least expensive Blu-Ray player⁽⁵⁾, and the PS3 finally seeing some high quality exclusive games in major franchises⁽⁶⁾.

If things go well for the XBox 360 for the rest of the year (sees a price reduction, has many high quality games announced and released, and doesn't see too many delays) and things go poorly for the PS3 (doesn't see a price reduction, few new games are announced, and sees many game delays) the XBox 360 will probably be able to minimize its losses to the PS3 in North America and Europe/Total Others.

 

 1. Wow I didn't know we just cancel out a whole region because the competition isn't doing well there.

2. Guess that means get rid of 360's sales in NA too. 360 = 7.7 mil console sales Vs. Ps3 = 11.59 mil console sales Vs. Wii's negative 30 million console sales. PS3 IS WINNING THIS GEN!

3. All sarcasm aside now... Ps3 isn't doing well in Japan either quit with your bologna excuses.

4. Uh.... okay... again... didn't know we cancelled sales out because of price drop. Guess we can cancel out 360's sales since they had a price drop in others this year along with one last year too.

5. Wait.... I thought blu-ray was a useless luxury and that it will never sell. People don't want to buy blu-rays when DVDs are just as good at a fraction of the price.

6. Of course... wait... I thought it was because of blu-ray... now it's games? Is it the useless luxury or is it the lack of games?

Being outsold by 400,000 consoles in Japan IS A REASON why the PS3 is outselling the 360 by 1.2 million consoles this year.

Flamming him for stating the obvious makes you sound like an ass!
