PS3 won the hardware number this year but Xbox360 won in the financial numbers.


And how about SW numbers ? I won't add all 52 weeks and wait for VGC announcment, but I bet on a x360 win !

Still pretty close. 360 did a very good job to shrink down PS3 lead so much. 360 is really seasonal now vs PS3, I wonder how this will impact MS strategy if at all.

So a good year relatively speaking for both PS3/360 HW and SW.

Totally agree.

Gratz to PS3, but gratz to XB360 too.     A little dig at bragging MS PR and just the minority of haters amongst the fans, but full gratz without any dig to hard working devs and faithful fans.

About your doubt, strategies, I'd say both should keep on their respective ways, sales suggest the different ones they found are very fitting for their products, maybe adopting the same they could end up damaging each other instead of benefitting themselves.

Anyhow, now I must be back drooling on the new year's PC games list, teh undead, d0m3d, home (to tell it from teh other undead, PSP, and teh two d0m3d ones, 3DS and PSV, that are all portable  ) gaming platform (*) is calling me!    http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=138465&page=1#

(*) to anticipate the obvious but legit question, confusion with Wii is warded off because the latter is d0m3d and home, but not undead.

PC is looking good this year.  I'm playing more on PC again than anything else right now.  Skyrim is eating up way too much time and I'm finally getting around to checking out the Witcher and the Witcher 2.  Thanks to Steam's great sales i've got quite a PC backlog now.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

We still have adjustments to look forward to. So it's not completely over just yet. I do wonder what MS will say (if anything), though.


They wont say anything... unless they think they achieved it.

This is no different to Sony and Nintendo, or any company in any field for that matter, constantly saying they will ship x and then shipping x - 10%

Its normal business.

Don't oversimplify! They look the same, but actually they do the same thing in noticeably different ways, MS is more boastful and aggressive, Sony and Ninty more condescending!

And the PS3 wins by about 300k units. Well that was a surprise last week.

Kind of figured the PS3 would pull ahead for the last week.

I wasn't expecting the PS3 to bounce back like that, I was still expecting the Xbox 360 to outsell it by 100,000 or so. Either way, congrats to the Xbox 360 for coming so close, I saw this thread after E3 and basically took it as a joke.

And if this thread is being updated to the PS3 vs Xbox 360 thread for 2012, then I guess I'll see you all in 11 months.



Never had any doubt.

Yeah I figured it would win the week but I wasn't expecting the gap to be so big in the PS3's favor.

Big? That's not a big gap for a whole year. The PS3 gained about 300K units in 2011. At that rate they won't pass the XBox 360 in sales anytime soon. This generation is almost over as well. The Wii was still storming ahead. I don't think they will catch the Wii unless Nintendo pulls the plug on it.
