The XBox 360 will outsell the PS3 worldwide in 2010 just like 2006, 2007 and 2008. 2009 was a one off for the PS3- a flash in the pan. The XBox 360 will outsell the PS3 by 1 million units. A big victiory in US will make up for losses in the other two regions. Europe may even go to 360 with Natal launch.

By the end of the year the 360 will have all the sales momentum with Natal, Halo: Reach + lots of exclusive games and more price cuts.

Go the XBox 360 and I hope you crush the PS3 in console sales.

1. Please change your avatar.

2. If I were to pick which would sell more in 2010, I'd pick the 360 in the Americas, the PS3 in Japan, the PS3 in Europe, and the PS3 for total woldwide.


1. What is wrong with my avatar? I hope you are not being anti-gay. I sense subtle homophobic vibe in your request/demand. But I could be reading too much into it.

Anyway avatar change request/demand denied.

2. 360 sales win in America region for 2010 could surpass the PS3  sales win in the combined Europe and Japan regions for 2010. American market accounts for around half of the video game industry sales. PS3 in 2010 will not have the impact of a FFXIII + PS3 Slim launch in Japan- its strongest sales region.

Why can't the 360 outsell the PS3 now? It's already cheaper than the PS3.

Come on, MS has a $199 console where Sony is not even close to getting near, they are losing WW to a console having stock issues, more expensive and in third place.

How do you know they are losing? The numbers are just estimates and if the stock problem is worse than originally thought...

What $199 console do you speak of? The Wii is made by Nintendo, according to Sony the $199 Xbox 360 is a lie!

Well, I am in VGchartz which gives me numbers each week, I know there could be changes, but i can only go by i am given.

Too bad I am not Sony nor do they pay me, so yes there is a $199 360.

And the average sale price is comparable, so whats your point? The median price is $299 vs $299.

haha

It's a huge advantage. If the PS3 had a $199, this thread wouldnt exist.


Yeah, and how much further into the hole would that put the PS3 just to salvage marketshare? Microsoft could cut it's price by $100 too, so I fail to see your point.

lol when all elese fails cry cry "teh profitz"

it doesn't matter how much it would cost Sony, the fact is if all that the ps3 was sold for the lowest cost of the 360, there wouldn't even be a console war,, so congrats M$ for "winning" due to circumstance.that's the point my friend.

the fact that a 299 ps3 can out sell a 199  360 since it's induction really makes the mind run wild of what a 199 or eveen worse a 179.99 ps3 would imo, no matter how much 360 fans pray that will never happen, and for the sake of M$ and their current position it better not happen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ps. ps3 iz so doomed remember

So I can't mention how pointless it is for the PS3 to be that price (which if it were, would be the equivalent of Sony just throwing money out the window imo), but you can imply that it's unfair that the 360 is $100 cheaper than the PS3? Yeah, that totally makes sense...



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

Not without a price cut soon.. Sony has a nice lineup of games coming as well. Natal will spark some sales though.

Well, was interesting until he made is US only.

I thought it was pretty obvious 360 > PS3 in US this year... I mean... Pricecut, Halo, Natal... US...


Yep I agree for once, stating the obvious really.

I'd prefer it if they shut up gloating and concentrated on Europe where things don't look so rosy.

LOL of course a PS3 is always too expensive because Sony doesn't know how to make consoles that people want at a price they want to pay for them. Wake me up when Sony actually learns how to compete as an actual business.

You are supposed to get a second job.

All that proves is that they were lucky and spendy in the previous generations given how little money they made relative to what Nintendo has already made this generation and that all the money in the world isn't going to buy them a clue as to how to run a console business.
