X360 and PS3 hardware go back and forth.  The PS3 as a whole unit being slightly more powerful while the X360 as a whole unit being slightly more accessible to developers.

Debating which is more powerful at this point in the generation is irrelavent.  It's the software, peripherals and services that draw consumers.


Well said.  If anyone has more questions or concerns... turn to this page..

I see you got another guy banned and yet you walk along without a scratch.  You always de-rail any positive thread about the 360 or Kinect.  Why don't you simply stay out of pro 360 threads?  It would be safer for the pro 360 people if you did.

The Bias towards the PS3 on this site is so fucking lopsided its getting on my nerves now...................................................  If anyone needed to be banned for this bs it would certainly be you.

 

On topic:  Great to see the 360 doing well everywhere but Japan.  I really think people all over the world have caught on to the Kinect and the Slim re-design has helped a lot.  Looking forward to seeing the 360 improve upon this sales figure next week.  Would be super awe-inspiring to see Kinect do 1 million in a week alone.  The sales Kinect has had to date has shut a lot of the nay sayers up, and a 1 million week would all but kill them.

Good numbers all around don't see anything doing poorly except possibly the PSP, but its on its way out anyways and that is to be expected.

finally 10 million!

=O Somebody make a thread about this awesome news.

Also 360 joins the awesome 1 million club, impressive. Maybe PS3 can make it next week?



Woweeee! Fantastic for 360. But I'm a bit bemused by Kinect number. Last 3 or 4 weeks Kinect in Americas has been basically equal to 360 in Americas, yet this week there's a 200K difference? Is that because there's been some special, non-kinect related 360 deals?

Great to see Sports champs (and hence Move) hit 1 million in Americas alone. I don't care what people say I think that's a great result for Move because I was not picking 1 million Move enabled households in the Americas by the end of 2010. My expectation was about 500K prior to Move's launch.

Medal of Honour is actually pulling respectable numbers. It'll easily get to 2 million on both PS3 and 360. On 360 2 million isn't all that for a FPS but on PS3 there's only been 8 FPS games to cross 2 million. and I expect MoH will probably end up outselling Bad Company 2 and Resistance 2. Who knows it might even end up out selling KZ2. Overshadowed by Black Ops? Yes. Beaten into submission? No.

Go Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 2! At 1 million across PS360, I hope it legs out to 1 million on PS3 by itself. Totally deserves the sales.

Will be interesting to see if 360 can crack 1 million 2 weeks in a row.

360 will prolly get adjusted down below 1 mill next week!

Gratz for bording the 1 mill mark though, impressive.

Glad Reach got a good bump this week, and Kinect going to surpass it's 5 mill estimation with flying colours!

Edit - not sure how PS3 percentage wise grows as much as 360 in Americas when

A) 360 shortages sorted out this week
B) $75 wal mart deal this week
C) People waiting for $100 PS3 wal mart deal ... strange

Awesome 360, biggest week in its 5th year, congrats, algo, right now has sold twice the original xbox lifetime sales in the same time (more or less) wich is really great for a console doomed since its launch. Looks like microsoft have been great this year with its moves.

Next week will be interesting, i love november and dicember.


Its something that people don't want to talk about at all any more, but remember all of the Dreamcast 2 talk?  Remember the RRoD stigma?  Or how about the snub for MGS4 and initial ones for Tekken, DMC and FFXIII.  The CONSTANT demeaning from Sony execs prior to and after the PS3 launch (even to this very day).

Or how about how analyst, Sony execs, many gaming and non-gaming journalist and innumerable legions of gamers all basically felt that it was a lame duck console at launch and was going to be blown out of the waters by the PS3.  Sony had sold over 100 million consoles for the last two generations, dominance in every region on earth.  The previous gen had seen simply the potential of the PS2 CRUSH the Dreamcast and force Sega out of the console race.  They were the 100 lb gorilla that declared that the next generation of gaming doesn't start until they arrive.

Yet ..... here were are ... 2010.  5 years after launching.  The Xbox 360, with no price cut for over 2 years, has its single best sales week ever.  And over 4 of those five years, to this 100 lb. gorilla, it has only given up 1.3 million of its one year lead.

Remember your HISTORY, fellow gamers.  The Xbox 360 has done the improbable and deserves recognition and acclaim.

And don't even get me started on the story of the Wii ...


What?

Dude, the Wii is the story, it was the console people laughed at. The 360 is doing great, but only in second because the PS3  is doing bad compared to the PS2.

The 360 did not just get there this year, it had a redesign, Kinect, Halo, the biggest game on the planet all this fall.

Next week is bigger than this week so even if 360's numbers get adjusted down a bit, it will surely be over 1 million this coming up week. I think that 360 will clear a bit over 1.1 million worldwide the week ending 12/25/10.

And WTF is up that doofus (jhuff394) linking over and over again to some article on IGN as if they are preeminent hardware gurus. If you want real discussions about the technical specs of PS3 vs 360 head over to beyond3d forums. The fact that this numbskull keeps linking to IGN as his evidence is laughable. Not surprising though, coming from someone who doesn't know how to spell ridiculous (rediculous, really???).

Heck, his original argument was that every component of PS3 was superior to 360. Now he is backtracking admitting that the 360 GPU may in fact be better..lol.

to be fair not many people are waiting.

I think the 360 is undertrack in Others anyway, so it might clear 1 million which it deserve.

how amazing if all 3 consoles sell 1 million next week.

if anything they will adjust up the xbox 360 further above one million and next week will have another one million week. 360 seemed a little under tracked in EMEAA but thats just me.

I think the 360 and the Kinect is undertracked in Others as well.  I guess time will tell, hopefully it will be adjusted up!

Here is the reality everyone should accept the ps3 is better hardware wise. But developers don't seem to be interested in taping the real power of the  PS3. But Any way this statement is coming from a guy who likes the xbox over the playstation graphics are nice but i need re-playability for me to buy a game. So games like god of war and uncharted or ratchet and clank aren't going to hold my interest for very long. Tell me when Sony has a Gears of War or Halo game that keeps players coming back. Until then i don't buy very many games for my playstation 3
