Until the Playstation 3 has outsold the Xbox 360, the Playstation 3 has not outsold the Xbox 360. Simple as that.

By the way, there were almost as many Nintendo DS consoles sold in other countries, than Wii systems sold world wide. The difference is only 118. What a coincidence.

 Ah ,a voice of reason, thank you.

Just to expand on that idea.  It's pointless to compare consloes on anything but total sales. "But the 360 came out a year before PS3; Ps3 is doing better its first year than 360." So WHAT! Has PS3 sold more total units WW than 360 or Wii, no. Will it ever? Haven't the foggiest but it will have to sell a whole lot more than it is now to accomplish this goal. Or, 360 and Wii sales will have to go to nothing, or or or etc. etc. etc. 

PS3 is behind 360 and Wii, period. Will it always be, who knows? But it is right now and probably will be for quite awhile unless there are some dramatic shifts in the market (which has been known to happen). It is a supreme exersize in futility and vain hope to try and make it anything other than what it is, dead last in the race right now. Who knows what the future holds but the present speaks for itself, Wii #1, 360 #2, PS3 #3. Welcome to the now.

 Exactly. This also applies to Wii fanboys who think that the "console war" is already over. Things change, you can never predict the future. Who knows ? Maybe the Wii drops off and the 360 regains the lead. It could happen.



Didja get that thing I sentcha?

Thanks, I just get so sick of this "If the PS3 and 360 came out at the same time PS3 would totally PWN!" They didn't and it's not, end of story. Everything changes, except the past.

Still well under a .1 standard error, but I think it is sooooo funny how all the 360 boys called victory so soon : )

BTW the we gained like 50,000 in the adjustment too, Germany Appears to the place where the initial numbers were the most off.


 Wait we gained 50K? So Sony's paying dividends to fanboys now?

"FFXIII will sell over 10 mln. don`t worry."

"FFXIII is ONLY possible on PS3.
it`s not a multiplatform, because the game is NOT possible at THIS quality on any other platform." (Posted on 7/13/08)

"SMG in best case will reach:
1.1. mln. in Japan
2 mln. in Europe
3.9 in Usa
maximaum +200k in every region. =]"

It case you guys did not catch on my post was mocking all the 360 fanboys that were "We rulez, we beat the PS3 worldwide by 15k" and then they adjust it so they are 3k behind : D



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.

PS3 software outpaces 360 in EU.



iberz on 14 December 2007

I think grouping europe sales is slightly misleading, because I mean I live in the Uk and the PS3 is gettin raped there
