Well didnt this article become bollocks very quickly.

The PS3 and the 360 have shipped the same in the last 12 months, which actually means the 360 has shipped more than the PS3 in 2011... lol.

Silly analysts.

Why, did 360 ship LESS than PS3 in H2 2010?

Sony shipped 3.9m in 2011.
Microsoft shipped 4.4m in 2011.

So are you saying that Sony overshipped the PS3 last holiday?  Is that what you're saying??????  ; )

I'm saying nothing I just replayed your question.

But if VGC numbers are correct... the number of PS3 on shelves down from 1.3 million to 500k in 2011 putting the sales over shipped.

I guess VGC is overtracking PS3 by 200-300k... for 2011 the stock decreased but not much VGC shows.



Someone in here is having his own dose of his medicine and What a hypocrite. I'll just leave it as that. Trololol.

OT: If there is a price cut then it will be possible.

Complete BS on Microsoft not localizing their games. You can't even mention 1 game! I can mention multiple from all consoles, and when I count MS has the least. Nintendo obviously hasn't localized at least a dozen well rated Japanese games like The Lost Story, Disaster: Day of Crysis, XenoBlade, Pandoras Tower, etc. Sony hasn't localized these games outside of Japan to name a few: Konami Baseball franchise (Don't know the english name), Tales of Vesperia, several Gundam Wing exclusives, Afrika (No PAL version),Initial D racing franchise, Gran Turismo concept demos, Metal Gear Online, and there are likely a bunch of JRPG's I can't pronounce. 360 is lacking Espangula 2 and Monster Hunter frontier, and I believe some games like Mass Effect 1 were localized in Japan about a year later, but thats what Japan does to us, so it's fine.

You are putting words in my mouth, that is why I said don't brand me. I NEVER SAID PSN IS LAGGIER THEN XBL!

Stop trying to insult, and debate every single damn point, and don;t critisize me when you make up stuff and claim I said it.

No XBox 360 game REQUIRES an install. You can play just fine with a 4GB 360, so long as you don't download any map packs. If you do, you can always get a thumb drive. 8GB for $10. That makes 12GB total. I still use my 14GB model, and I have yet to max it out, and I have DLC for about a dozen games (but most of my DLC is disk based).

As for Call of Duty. If that's unfair, what online games are PS3 users playing? Killzone has about the same active users in a month as Halo Reach has in a day, and Call of Duty scales 3 to 1 for 360. I believe Call of Duty:Black Ops and Halo: Reach on 360 surpass all of PSN's active online users for a given month.

RRoD failrate was aproximatly 33%. YLoD was 10%. Don't spread BS, do your research.

Everyone knows this, everyone knows that. You're arguements are as thin as paper, and you call me biased. You make claims based on your own opinion and present it as fact.

Also 360 has more exclusives, go and count them on wiki if you must. there are over 100 exclusives on the 360 and something like 60 on the PS3. This is not including console exclusives which get a PC port. In fact, the 360 has released more exclusive games on an annual basis since the launc of the PS3. 2011 is the first year where the PS3 has more exclusives, don't try to make it appear as if it's always been this way. There are also more announce exclusives on the 360 for 2012 onward, so this may just be a 1 year thing.

I realize there is no debating with you. You have no reason to boost the claims you are making, and you make all your claims off your own opinion. Go look some of this stuff, and please tell me the titles MS isn't localizing in PAL. You said they localize the least games of the bunch, go and proove it!

Don't make claims without reason, and look up some of your more obviously wrong points (MS localizes less games, pfff).

I don't have a place that's lists them accurately wiki was wrong so I need that I'm not randomly checking every game by typintg it in to find the 10+ ones that weren't 

No wonder your defending MS ripping people of with live you like being ripped off (buying on disk dlc), and it's a hassle doesn't always work right and is easy to lose/misplace/steal, and I have a 60 gb ps3 and I have a trouble keeping enough room to download demos 

"Killzone has about the same active users in a month as Halo "  that would suggest it's about equal not 3 to 1 don't you think ? And that belief is just plain ridducles especially without numbers to back it up, and not every online game is a shooter, I for one have been playing demon souls (online) alot recently 

Do your research, the 33% was a safety number so MS didn't sue for slander, studies have came up as high as 68% at launch most being over 50%, the overall failrate is probably higher then 33% now after more reliable consoles have been mixed in 

The catch with the more 360 exclusives is a large amount of them are pure crap, no I'm not talking my opinion I'm talking the games suck so horrible no1 defend s them, people defend lair but games like Bomerman act 0, Rocky and bullwinkle and Rumble Roses XX on the 360 are just horrible 

I made no claims without reason, outdated info at most for that one thing, you need to wake up and look at the facts 

- Halo reach active online population = Killzone 3 active online population

- 33% failure rate has increased since more reliable xbox consoles have been mixed in

- Bomerman act 0 and Rocky and bullwinkle, Rumble roses xx are well known xbox 360 exclusives

Im speechless

The other guy is the one that said that 

Probably higher who knows MS refuses to release numbers that tells me it's probably higher 

didn't say they were well known just padding the amount of exclusives 360 has and absolute crap

Oh well, it looked strange to me if it were the opposite, indeed. So did Kow do his maths wrong?

eh?

I'm not sure what you are on about tbh.

PS3 and 360 shipped BOTH shipped 13.7m in the 12 months to the end of June 2011

The 360 has shipped 0.5m more during 2011. 

What did I get wrong?  What dont you understand?

Oh, my, I misread "2010" in Ethomaz  answer! I'm wrong, you're right. Although it looks very strange, considering that XB360 outsold PS3 in H2 2010 and PS3 outsold 360 in H1 2011, but yes, more or less units on the shelves and in the channel for one or the other in the different periods can make it possible.

I think software should also factor in who is second place.

in both hardware and software ps3 on average sells more yearly, MS has sold more of both due to the headstart though 

Not true. 360 has sold more software on an annual basis every single year since PS3's launch (By 67.5%, 26%, 13.5%, and 4% in the last 4 years). PS3 is ahead of 360 in 2011 by 4%, but Microsoft tends to catch up in the holiday season. As for hardware, PS3 has only become ontop of 360 after 2009 when the Slim was released. If you ever read Mind the Gap by VGC, you will see that at different points in the consoles life 360 and PS3 have been alternating period of stronger sales. After the price cut before the PS3 Slim, 360 grew the gap to 8.1 million. Hardware sales fluctuate, and many analysts (including the ones this thread is based on), believe 360 and PS3 hardware sales for 2011 will be flat.

and even xbox beat ps3 in holiday sale in 2010, BUT ps3 still sold more units tnhan xbox in total of 2010 sale

Just so you know, I definatly think PS3 has a decent chance at becoming second eventually. Just like the analysts this thread is based on, I don't think it will happen this year.

As for 2010 sales, 360 did marginally beat Sony on software, but for the second year in a row Sony beat MS in hardware. If you look back, you will see hardware sales have always fluctuated between the two consoles. Fall 2008-Fall 2009, Microsoft grew the lead from 5 to 8.1 million. Fall 2009-Summer 2010, Sony reduced the lead from 8.1 to 3.9 million.

Since last summer, the PS3 has managed to gain 400k more sales, that's nothing!

Anything can happen, who knows how this upcoming price cut will afftect the 360/PS3. However whatever the situation, 360 should be ontop in software, and if you agree with the analysts, hardware for both consoles should tie. So the gap might return to the 4 million range, which it's been the majority of the PS3's life.

Note: To your other post....I'm not argueing which is better, never was. How the heck did you interpret that? I was only correcting someone for stating that PS3 software sales is stronger then 360s. Jay gets it.

you just cant accept xbox getting outsold????? and you know ps3 have more actived user base right????? do some reaserch before you type

-No, Halo's online population is nearly 30x greater.

-33% failure rate is ONLY for first gen non HDMI 360's. HDMI Models have more reasonable fail rates of <3% (can't remember the exact number).

-He only said PS3 has had more. Those games are exclusives in 2005/2006, and well at that time most exclusives on both HD consoles were...bad. Ridge Racer, Full Auto, and Genji for PS3 aren't any better. Go into 2007 games and later, and quality is better. Still 360 had games like Test Drive, Condemned, PGR3, Dead or Alive 4, Prey, Dead Rising, and Blue Dragon in those early years.

360 has increased the shipped gap by 600,000 in less than a year....

Exactly, and No PS3 doesn't have more active users. PS3 has more registered PSN accounts, but the number of active online accounts favors 360. That said, a lot of people play offline, so that can sqew the data, and on XBL you can set up an offline, non XBL account. Those can't be added, which also sqews the data.

:-O

I'm shocked...

Then again VGC constantly re adjusts their data. I wonder if 360 ever outsold PS3 on a given week.
