Yeah, in North America 360 is beating it.
But WW PS3 is winning.

No

if you count totals yes

but since slim launch ps3>360 in America by 950k according to the NPD thats almost a mill for the younger ones on here

and with games like HR GoW3 FF13 and Gt5 coming that number will go up massively b4 years end

Oh really?? Looks to me like even since PS3 Slim launch the 360 has sold 160k more...

look at sony defence force out to play...lol. Of course its USA only...no one at VGchartz would think Xbox would outsell ps3 worldwide at this point and price.

Thats cool for MS, they have a price card to play as well as Natal...yet they seem to be hangling close to PS3 sales worldwide.

Lol. Well said.

Sony deserves to die, for screwing up my ps3. Also Natal won't be big, until they show us the games. Because for now it's a shiny gimmick.

I'm sorry, I was just replying to your ridiculous first post.  I didn't see your other post.

Also, if it's just about January Americas sales, why did you bring up sales since September?  Hmmm... maybe you didn't read the OP?

i brought up slim launch thing b/c of the many post saying 360 is owning in america

it is overall yes (it had 1yr head start and i dont know how they counted rrod replaced 360s) but as of late specifically slim launch ps3 managed to outsell it by 101k which is a fact according to npd numbers i see ps3 outselling the 360 at least 4 months out of the next 7 months going by npd

also just look at ur vgc numbers there pretty close to each other ps3 had some shortages sometime since slim launch either in october or in december or both and theres also a 360 sku 100$ less than the slim

i also brought it up b/c since slim launch its kind a of a fair battle 300$ elite vs 300$ slim both with 120gb HDDs but the elite came with 2 games would be nice if we could know how many 120gb slims were sold vs how many elites were sold in this time period

Well that's nice you think that, but it won't happen.  No games coming out are going to boost sales enough in America alone to make up for monthly defecits of 60k+.  Now that the sales have cooled off from holidays, the 360 will remain above the PS3 in America pretty much from here on out.

Also, while the 360 had a year head start in the US, it has also increased its lead in the US from that first year by about 6 million... so that's a silly useless argument.  Oh and the attemptive trolling by using RRoD replaced 360s bit.... MS does not count RROD repaired units as another sale.  Yours breaks, you send it in, it gets repaired, total number of 360s stays the same.

This just in! PS3 outsold Wii and Xbox 360 combined!*


*In at least one household worldwide.

 

Face it, the thread was meant to be misleading and cause problems.

Thats true, the PS3 is outselling Xbox like crazy in its home ground (JAPAN) & by a little in Europe. But lets just see for how long, because the software sales definately doesn't reflect their hardware sales atm because MAG is terribly for an exclusives. Maybe its people are just buying it for the cheap Bluray player & media streaming capabilities?

MAG sold "terribly" because it was an average game in an overcrowded genre which released in a very busy quarter.
