Forums - Sales - Has the tide official turned? 7 Blue 3 Red, No Green in Software chart :O

I think it is the first time i have seen that the top 10 doesnot have a single Green game in it.. :O 

Also recently Gamasutra analysis of First Quarter of the US only said that PS3 has sold 26% games to X360 of 25.6%.. although its equivalent but the PS3 base is still half of X360. 

X360 is still selling more per week in US than PS3 but still PS3 software is doing amazing sales.

So finally some PS3s are getting used for playing games than watching Blu Rays. :P

The sales advantage of the PS3 as a Blu-Ray player only mattered when it was the least expensive Blu-Ray player on the market.  After this isn't so, it should base on the game library. 

I am assuming here you are speaking about the "tide turning" referring to the PS3 shifting into game console area.  If you are saying, "Well lookie, the momentum is such that now the PS3 is gonna rock the 360 from now on, and the tide has turned in the console war, and the PS3 now rules the 360 from now on", well I could just comment that I don't believe the videogame industry and life centers around Sony.  The only person who thinks it does is a Sony fanboy, and they see there is a console war, where there is a "tide" that matters.

"Defeat the PS3"?



 

ps3 is software beast now, 2 years ago it ws as bad as psp in sw.

not a beast.. but it is very healthy software sales now.. n i think XBOX360 cant just take the crown in every multiplatform game now.. or atleast as easily as it use to take.

Look Xbox was doomed before - http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly.php?date=39929

And Im sure it will be doomed again in a few months...

Seriously though...Xbox brand is a money making product for 2 years now. They are set to do 1 billion in profit for the division this year. What more do you want?

Sony is moving software for sure...now lets see if this makes them any profit. Hopefully it does because if not, Sony really needs to re-evaluate their business model. You just cant outsell the competition with hardware and software and lose money...

well they get 7 billion recoup and so does sony.

so only thing u can compare em it's sales, since both division are in the hole.

 



it's far to early to say the tide is turned imo.

too many variables in the pipeline. after a few months there could confirmation of a trend or a 180 deg. switch; who knows?

e3 hasn't even happened yet.

of course the tides have changed, if you say otherwise your an ass. letme explain, before, the ps3 software sales were bogus, while it did sell alot of games the 360 was always ahead but now the ps3 is always ahead and is the software beast so yes the tides have changed and take a look at this. there no turning back in europe for microsoft, natal or no natal, slim or no slim
