Me.

They have the worst attach ratios. Part of the reason why Xbox 360 software sales are significantly higher.

Also, they have generally horrible taste in games. Hence, they keep supporting horrible games.

lol opinions. Tell me when a country that's not America sells over 2 million copies of a game in a single week.


China, I heard of the launch of their MMO games will bring over 10 million ppl onine at the same time.

Once they started to support console gaming, it will give the industry a huge boost, 10 million seller would be much more easier to achieve.

On topic, Xmas sales will  give 360 a much bigger advantage over PS3 this year, Kinect>>>>>>>>>GT in America

Yeah, agree. I think 360 will have a great xmas with or without great kinect sales.

Not sure but I think the aim is to get China up to speed with console gaming by 2012.

They are working on piracy prevention.

They reckon 3% - 5% of the chinese households (or was it population, can't remember) will be able to comfortably afford high end consoles and games at that time. With the rate China are turning over a new middle class that might be well below the mark come 2012.

Thats  somewhere between 30m -55m potential sales.

If PS3's love affair with the rest of the world apart from NA continues there....it can be a literally be a game changer.

Actually PS3 has sold more software worldwide than X360 if you align the launches. It seems that this myth that X360 sells a lot more software compared to PS3 is still alive and kicking.

Well I'm not gonna bother trying to align launches. But he's every year of software sales according to VGChartz.

This year seems close now. But I have a feeling the 360 is gonna have a significant lead in over all software sales at the end of the year. Especially with Kinect sales.

2010
X360     85,593,413
PS3     81,780,307

2009
X360     113,710,972

2007
X360     61,924,647   
PS3     28,170,649   

2006
X360     25,174,366   
PS3     1,996,671

 

 

Also, look at the attach ratios.

X360 3,994,325 (-8%) 403,012,359 (9.01)
Wii 3,969,294 ( 6%) 534,271,896 (7.06)
DS 2,706,330 ( 10%) 593,972,684 (4.36)
PS3 2,186,911 (-26%) 285,685,643 (6.99)

The 360 has the best of any console. Most notably for our discussion, 9.01 on the 360 vs 6.99 on the PS3.

If we align the launches PS3 software sales stand at 285 million (PS3 launched one year later in America and Japan and one and half yer later in EMEAA) and X360 260 million. X360 has better attach rate due its one year headstart. Also tracking X360 software sales is tougher task than PS3s as MS doesn't give us total SW numbers. As much as I love vgchartz our software numbers especially in EMEAA have been off. Software shipments for PS3 were already 359 million at the end of september and last time time MS gave us their ww attach rate (March) X360 software sales were 336 million. Point is that both sell software just fine.

The other problem is that PS3 software is pretty much undertracked, 350M shipped 285M sold... and X360 may be overtracked (by how much I dunno) because we'll never have Microsoft shipped numbers. They never release them.

Japan isn't interested in Kinnect and those who are are part of an already small 360 install base.

Japan will go wild when GT5 comes out and that will just settle it.

Yes I agree with this post!!

@OP

Nice comparison....I used to think Japan didn't affect the gap by that much!

lol... WHAT!?

 

but if you look at the total sales the PS3 sold 5.76 in Japan and the 360 sold 1.41 difference = 4.35

and in America the 360 sold 25.71 and the PS3 sold 15.94 difference = 9.77


End thread!

that's not even relevant to the thread considering the OP was referring to this year.

I just always wanted to do that...thanks for ruining it for me!

Troll much?  Yeah because Halo and Gears are good taste compared to GT5, FF, Metal Gear Solid, and Demon's Souls....ROFLMAO!!!



Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.
