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.

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.

He is talking about this week numbers... 70k gap.

I didn't expected that too... PS3 always win the last week of the year because the drop happen most in US (360 region)... so this year I expected PS3 over 360 by 15-20k for the last week... 70k is huge.

January is a PS3 month too and I can't see 360 over PS3 until September or more... unless it cut prices.

Oh, my mistake. Price cut probably won't be announced until E3. PS3 will lead over XBox 360 mainly because of Japan. US and UK sales together are pretty much even during the off season.

I wonder what 2012 will look like. Will it be as close? Will the 360 top the PS3, or will the PS3 finally catch up to the 360....



I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.

PS3 wins last week of the year :D

So this is the 3rd year in a row the PS3 has beat the Xbox 360 in worldwide sales. Can it do it again 2012?

That's what the next thread title will say! Also it's funny you say that, our sales indicate the 360 has outshipped PS3 this Q, meaning that since end of September 2010 the gap may have only closed (shipment wise)

It was pretty close race (at least before regular adjustments after quarter reports). Kinect really did wonders for X360. Especially in US. Without it PS3 would have probably already overtaken it WW.

outsold not outshipped. You know very well Sony always ship as much as they want.
