agreed, I think everyone here now realizes that the 360 was the #1 selling console this year.  Personally not that big of a deal for either at this point both companies have done well and are probably proud of the sales figures

i like making these predictions threads as much as i like making owning threads for them afterwards

since there is alot of craziness going on (MS selling 66M announcement, low NPD) i decided to make note of what we have so far that can be considered concrete. Japans numbers here on VGC are unlikely to change b/c there very close to sales tracker media create, all of NPD numbers for 2011 are also in, i believe that VGC numbers from Jan. - Sept are less likely to change to much b/c we have shipments and NPD ect. for them so i included them vs there shipments

MC Japan

PS3: 1,548,895 VGC1,521,847

360: 115,548 VGC 114,959


US NPD

360 7,240,000 VGC 8,232,948

PS3 4,515,000 VGC 4,624,426


MC + NPD
360 7,355,548
PS3 6,173,321


Jan-Sept

VGC 360 6,315,226 shipped 6.7M

VGC PS3 7,711,364 shipped 7.6M

you can use Sony's estimated PS3 holiday numbers to compared VGC's

ill just wait for VGC for adjustments. Im really confused.

Ehh so we have another episode in this fascinating emo drama ? ;)

Declining wiI sales make the ps3 sales look good.....
The ps3 wil never match wii sales. Its impossible

XBox 1st
Ps3 2nd
Wii 3rd.

Either way Microsoft have the strongest year with less huge titles (exclusive) and with the ability to post amazing sales with no price drop this year. We all know what price drops do for console sales....evidently not much for the ps3 this year in comparisons. To even compare sales on this level is a injustice to Sony and its once total domination of the console market.

Without Microsoft discounting and a slight lack of uncharted hyped titles I did think ms was in trouble this year.... It seems that its brand is still amazingly strong. Every week for the past 4years I've been reading about how Sony will spring to life and overtake WW sales.... Last year people said defiantly this year much like they said in previously years...maybe it will happen...but its staggering how long and painful it is coming.

If we go back to console release hype and we read Sony statements about its wonderfully superior console and that its worth the price because its amazing graphics etc etc it makes me laugh. All them people who brought ps3 at laugh must be kicking themselves having paid for a console that has lived up to none of its hype.

Debating these numbers are already a defeat for Sony and everyone who predicted Crap like this since 2009 lol each year is bitter tasting...rubbing salt into the woonds

of course he was, when was he ever wrong?  :P

it was close, but there was no way the 360 could move 200k units more a wk then PS3 in Dec., or what ever the number was!
