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.


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.


Sales =/= opinions. I trust Vgchartz more than your "opinion" even if they are not super accurate.

dude, enough with the fanboyism. 

MS haven't out sold SONY the last few years hence why the gap between 2006-2007 MS got has been closing from 2008-. And thats SONY, MS and Nintendo numbers talking there. 

But that doesn't mean MS cant do it? But the chances aren't certain. SONY is packing an major punch this hoildays, that cna be argued to be greater than MS offering.  


Not sure what fanboyism you are talking about.

I am a realist. 

Nothing sony offering during the next 6 months can compete with kinect, halo, gears, modern warfare  (xbox preferred platorm), and forza...seriously......add a price drop on top of all those heavy hitting titles and microsoft is laughing all the way to the bank.


righto want to bet that forza cant outsell GT5? show your faith in the 360.

FORZA 4 will not outsell gt5 but it will get higher reviews and it will be better than gt5 in most ways.

Oh and i forgot to add The Witcher 2 to that list of AAA xbox games.....great time to own a 360!!!

Did Microsoft announce how many Xbox 360s they would sell for this year? I thought it was in their financial statement but didnt see it. Just wondering if this comment lines up with those numbers.

NO!!! Microsoft never gives hard data sales forcasts/predictions of software or hardware



It's pretty obvious to me that Mattrick is probably right. The Wii will be running on fumes by the end of the year and games like Star Wars Kinect, Dance Central 2, Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster and Kinect Disneyland Adventures are going to appeal to a significant amount of  the audience that it would have typically dominated.

As for those mentioning Playstation exclusives, most of those games are sequels and extremely unlikely to bring in the millions of additional gamers that Kinect will. You're going to see significant sales gaps between the 360 and PS3 in North America by the end of the year and enough growth in Europe to ensure the 360 comes out on top.

Its probably a good thing as it probably conflict with comments like this one.   

What did the 360 sell in each of the last 2 years?  



Around the Network

I think ps3 and 360 will continue to sell virtually the same amount globally for the rest of the cycle. I don't care what people say, the ps3 and 360 are virtually identical systems. Sure they have differences, one is more powerful, and the other has a better online experience. As far as entertainment goes they are extremely similar. Gears or Uncharted? Fable or GoW? Dumb questions, all 4 of those games are fun.

There are a few types of gamers out there, that can purchase items that is. ( I am about to paint broad assumptions of human beings, you are warned ;)

Teenagers
Parents with kids
The guy who lives with his girlfriend/fiance
Single people.

If you are a teen, you can probably only afford either the 360 or ps3 and it would be difficult to spend the cash on games for both systems. (ps3/xbox)

Parents with kids want a system that they can play a few games they used to love, and games their kids can safely play. (wii)

Girlfriend/Fiance/Married dude: Lets face it, I got the wii and wii fit to appease my girlfriend before I bought a 360. Granted I love the virtual console and a the ninty exclusives. I buy nothing else for it. (wii)

Single People: You guys rock, buy whatever you want and how ever much you can afford. (xbox/360/wii)

I know thats broad, but it makes sense to me about the numbers.



Well... It's possible.

I guess it depends how much is cut... And when.

...wow, after that conference and showing where the xbox is heading, can you say that with a pure heart?



jeez....I suddenly miss Selnor, not sure why...anyhoo, Mattrick is probably right, MS are good at advertising and price cutting. With Nintendo now focusing on 2 fronts on the home console market and Sony always being weak in advertising...it's not impossible...
