Forums - Sales - PS3 beat out 360 for 2nd week in a row

Zyzomys on 27 November 2007

With possibly 10k a week outselling 360, do the math to understand how long it will take the ps3 to catch up. Thats right 15 years. Good luck.

You are missing the point. Every month for 15-years, PS3 advocates are going to be able to say, "Beat you again!"

So American hardware numbers are in. PS3 sold 174k (79k or 83.5% up), X360 254k (91k or 55.5% up). The previous week numbers' seem to be changed also. It's not exacly corresponding with what ioi said. The bigger increase happened to Wii: 225k or 88.5%. Both portable systems (PSP and DS) sales more than doubled with absolute growth for PSP more than 100k and more than 200k for DS.

So it looks like PS3 won't be able to win this week. Without Japan its 326k vs 277k for Xbox. So it's 49k difference. Although in the previous week PS3 won with Xbox by 50k in Japan the margin should be smaller this time, even with Winning Eleven help.

If ps3 manages to touch 50k(in japan) it may take this week as well.

The margin of error is much less than 2:1 and goes both ways. You could just as well say the PS3 has been outselling the 360 for months with that argument.

@leo-j

for the last 2 weeks when the data is out Ps3 was ALWAYS behind the 360

but when the week afters data was updated it always went ahead due to the updating going on..

so even if Ps3 falls short this week

technically it could be ahead

@darth

I dunno, but ps3 needs to sell more than this if they hope to make it to 2nd place. 10k a week is useless.

Do you seriously think MS and Sony are the two biggest companies in the world?

Looks like the whole PS3>X360 sales were very, very short lived.

Unless Sony can pull out 75,000+ units ahead in Japan this week....Not gonna be a three-peat.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

jjseth on 27 November 2007

And what if there is another adjustment this week by ioi for the american numbers like last week for the PS3? And honestly 174k in NA isn't bad by any means. Had it been less then 100k then yea, you could say that the PS3 is flopping. WW, it's not that far off pace of the 360 once the JP numbers come in. (Could even be slightly ahead for all we know if sony has +74k on the 360 there.)

Guys, don't get too worked up about a few 1000s of difference. It's all within expected statistical error. Be content that the 360 and the PS3 are selling about the same lately, that's all we can conclude from the data.
