@People saying its unfair PS3 gets to be sold in those countries

Its not unfair.... because SONY has made an effort to sell PS3 there.

Its as fair as PS3's high price compared to competitors is.


By unfair I simply mean the sales aren't truely a measure of popularity, but rather of availability.

Again, that's no fault of Sony's.

Didn't say it was. I'm just stating the reality of the situation.

using unfair terminology...

c'mon, if MS want sales in those regions all they have to do is market to them - it's their choice to focus on smaller territories or to focus money on less territories : for example the quoted $500 million for Kinect is surely going to be skewed heavily to US.

Tactics like timed exclusives and other crap (both Sony and MS) are a lot more unfair than making the effort to sell your wares in more countries IMHO - they just hurt the end consumer rather than reaching out to more consumers.

As you clearly don't like Sony why not at least take a more sensible tack, and point out that this shows how well MS has done in a smaller number of core territories such as US?  Just going "it's unfair" makes it seem like you're not really trying hard to spin stuff!



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

hahaha vgchartz is so messed up. PS3 surpasses 360 with 70,000 WW, but the WW sales difference go from 5.1 million to 3.9 million. ZOMG. Someone didn't learn his Math 101.

PLAYSTATION 3 ON TOP!!!

The next generation didn't begin till SONY said it begins, nex-gen has begun now!

please dont start that crap... a bit of humility wouldnt go a miss. 


Well let him have his fun. It's not like if the PS3 appears very often on top of the chart. And if you read his comment about next gen, you clearly see that the guy is not serious. Oh wait...

As a PS3 hater this is a dark time in gaming for me indeed :'(

Until the time is right, disappear, I will!


As a former rabid Nintendo fanboy and Playstation hater, it was the PlayStation that got me back into console gaming.



Hackers are poor nerds who don't wash.

And someone didn't do his common sense 101.

(Hint: It's called adjustments, which go as far back as 2 years)



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

So the numbers have been messed up for the last 2 years? Wow vgchartz is so dependable. oh and btw, just by saying someone didn't "do" his common sense 101, no one does common sense you idiot. Common sense just comes from you based on experience, so you don't "do" common sense. Apparently you have a Ph.D in stupidity. thanks for letting me know.

first hi to everyone and Congratz to the ps3.here here well done.secondly i am a fan of the xbox360,but a game fan first.

someone in here mentioned that the ps2s penitration into other uncounted markets helped the ps3 to it,s continuing outselling of it,s competiors worldwide.that my friends is a half truth,it was in fact the ps1 that holds that honour.u see where i live in the caribbean(third world as people would call it).

in the ps1 era alot of 3rd world people were aware of it,s coming onto the world scene,and so bought alot of ps1 by either getting relatives to purchase it fro the usa,uk etc etc,and asia.at that time in my island of BARBADOS the ratio here was about 80-20 in terms of userbase in favour of the ps1.

it was king here and in many other islands in the caribbean.and it only snowballed with the ps2 and now the ps3.the markets that sony have sown the seed of unaccounted for marketshare is maturing significantly.and from now on it will be even harder tro track the ps3 as it is the small growing unaccounted markets like mine that will always keep the ps3 sony braned alive and growing when the competitors current gen devices have become obsolete,as their userbase has moved on to the next big thing,

the ps3 will still be selling and growing in marketshare well into the next gen and beyondddddd.all i want to say now is congratz to sony for a job well doneand what a master stroke you have played with your planting of seeds of marketshare in places where nintendo and microsoft have not been interested in pursuing,my hat goes off to you you are the true king of the hill. peace. 

hi! whts up? as a Sony fan i'm happy to here the news, and its nice to see some perspective on it from a reliable source! on the other hand i'd love to see all publishers take advantage of these markets! as a Nintendo fan i'm surprised that Nintendo hasn't tapped these markets for as long as they've been in the industry. and as a PC fan i would guse pc gaming isn't that big there.
