I was waiting until someone quoted him on that. As much as I am excited about everything MS is doing, I think its a very bold and perhaps a tad bit stupid thing for them to say they will be the best this year.

Don't get me wrong though, I think they have a good chance of outselling the PS3 this holiday, especially with the new Kinect titles that have been announced for both the core and the casual. Plus a price drop could also help the cause. But we will just have to see, I just don't appreciate them making such a bold prediction. At least they don't downplay the competition like Sony always does, but who the heck cares? I just can't wait for the Gears of War 3, Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary, Forza 4 and Modern Warfare 3 combo on the 360. Will make the year.

Huh??  Microsoft already outsold sony over Christmas and the first 3 months of the year.  XBOX is increasing its lead worldwide as we speak.


That is not true.

I am using shipment numbers.  I believe vgchartz is undertacking xbox 360.  My opinion

I think the FREE xbox with PC promo is hard for VGCHARTZ to track and will result in  BIG SALES!!

Also, Microsoft is outshipping nintendo and sony -

Xbox 360 Extends Lead Over PS3

Now that Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony have all released their financial results for the quarter to March 31st 2011 we can take an updated look at the worldwide console sales situation.  If you have read our reports of those financial results you will have some idea of how the console wars are going but some of this should still be of interest.

This generation certainly has not played out how we expected.

Sony have made their own missteps with the PS3 which is likely to struggle to reach the sales of the original PlayStation, let alone the PS2.  Microsoft’s rush to market with the Xbox 360, despite the reliability problems that hurried development seems to have caused initially, has broken Sony’s home console dominance.

It has looked like the PS3 was getting ready to overtake the 360 in sales as it hit its stride, however over the last two quarters the Kinect-powered reinvigoration of the 360′s sales has see it first halt and then reverse that trend.

So you are bragging because MS shipped a little more then Sony after Sony had to deal with the disaster in japan and take psn down for a month? Barring another major issue for Sony to deal with there is no way 360 is going to outsell the ps3 their year not eafter that horrible E3 MS had and again even in Kinects best selling time ps3 still tied 360 sales and kinect is looking weaker then ever now with every game being on rails 


You might have a point if it wasn't for the fact probably 99% of gamers wouldn't watch the conference so it doesn't make the slightest difference about sales.

Who's alt are you anyway?

Well its possible but I'm not sure its probable.

With a pricecut or a great bundle announced at E3 it was possible, but now after E3 it just seems unlikely.



updated: 14.01.2012

playing right now: Xenoblade Chronicles

Hype-o-meter, from least to most hyped:  the Last Story, Twisted Metal, Mass Effect 3, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Playstation ViTA

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.

Mattrick's statement is bold. But, quite easily achievable with A: Price drop, and B: Expand to New Territories. It's no secret they have been negotiating to launch in China. That alone would easily do it.

Your opinion is wrong...in my opinion.   I love vgchartz but it is very hard to track precise;y especially when the difference is so slight.

Like i said before i believe vgchartz is having problems tracking the xbox and PC promotion and  the kinect effect ...especially in the middle east where kinect is big! I really don't think there are 1.3 million xboxs on shelves or in channel.

Good luck.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

I was really surprised that he said that. With a generous price drop, of at least $50, maybe that would be possible. Otherwise, no way. Microsoft's conference was LAME!
