Forums - Sales - Gap between X360 and PS3 below 3m for the first time

Metallicube on 21 October 2011

I still have a feeling that the 360 is barely gonna maintain its lead on PS3. We're at the point in the generation where all three consoles aren't putting up significant numbers anymore, so it's going to take a long time for any changes of the guard from here on out, if it happens at all.

What? Both Sony and MS say that this will be PS3 and 360's peak year. Numbers are still quite significant.

rub it in rub it in lol!

But this day hasn't come

 

I remember even more people saying it would happen before 2008 than 2009 than 2010, ect 

now yo_john we've been cool for about a yr now so don't take this personal

 

 

i've never been concerned about any of that. i was here in 2008 i know what was said! i spent all day on this site watching and reading the flaming BS fanboy statements made on this site since 2007 from all sides. no i have not forgotten, and it made no since then and it makes no since now!

it never meant anything and thats what many fail to understand. blind as bats flying through the air with there heads chopped off. the whole lot of them should have been PB first day no questions asked.

srry it has happened. is it a victory? yes but only for those who care. i don't so count me out. Doesn't matter when people said it would happen cause the present is here today so plz stop living in the past.

i never quoted the past cause its still being said today, and now it has happened.

Ok I get what you mean. I thought you were implying that the PS3 has overtaken the 360 but now I realize you were saying that tons of people said the PS3 wouldn't ever even come withint 3 million of the 360.

 

Sorry for the confusion  not needed. forget about  it

you know we're good.

It's likely 360 sales will surpass PS3 sales in November, but not by as much as in 2010, not without a price cut. Then next year PS3 should reduce the gap further.

I always say this, but 360 outsells PS3 weekly in the combined Americas and EMEAA region throughout the year. So basically any gain PS3 makes will be limited to how well it sells in Japan. PS3 sales in Japan peaked in 2009, and have been dropping since, so we should expect the PS3 sell 1 million in Japan for 2012, which would reduce the gap to 2 million next year. However that might be a bit much since the 360 will likely get it's price cut to boost sales in other regions.

Anything can happen, but assuming PS3 does gain ground on 360, it will be a slow crawl. I can't picture PS3 passing 360 sales anytime during this gen or before 2014.

But, PS3 outsells the 360 in the combined Japan and EMEAA region. 

Seriously, you should stop spouting the MS PR bull, cause it makes you seem as ridiculous as them.  Just take EMEAA by itself.  According to VGC, in 2007, the PS3 beat the 360 by ~1.12 mil.  In 2008, the 360 beat the PS3 by a mere 156K.  In both 2009 and 2010, the PS3 beat the 360 by ~ 2 mil.  So far this year, the PS3 has a 1.33 mil lead.

Damn I remember like a year or two back I got ripped for showing evidence that the PS3 was outselling the 360 from launch dates. That continues to prove it.

Both systems doing great though.

Nice, at this rate, the PS3 and X360 should climax by March 2010.

The gap is still around around 3 million, so no need to party yet.

It's likely 360 sales will surpass PS3 sales in November, but not by as much as in 2010, not without a price cut. Then next year PS3 should reduce the gap further. not sure? the ground is set for allot of things to happen, and as i've said before there are things releasing that counters every move MS and Sony make.

However that might be a bit much since the 360 will likely get it's price cut to boost sales in other regions.

i think both if wise will make price cuts. sony is playing keep away. you know you have been saying that but i got one for ya. PS3 comtinues to out sell the 360 in Japan and the EMEAA's combined. yea bite in the but . you had it coming.

Anything can happen, but assuming PS3 does gain ground on 360, it will be a slow crawl. I can't picture PS3 passing 360 sales anytime during this gen or before 2014. we agree allot but i also have to add that there are to many factors involved to say anything will happen.

i'll say it like this. bats can't see during the day but at night they can see the world.



Well if you keep up with Seeces Year Over Year Holidays Sales Tracker thread, you would see that 360 is actually holding weekly sales almost exactly on par to last year. Ever Novemember there is a CoD game, and MP games do help 360 more during the holidays then PS3. Even if Kinect isn't as big as last year, I think the 360 will have a strong Novemeber. PS3 will be strong too, but Novemeber is when Americas region sales start to inflate, and 360 is king in Americas by a long shot.

I know PS3 outsells in the combined EMEAA and Japan region, but you are ignoring half the gaming world in that comparision. My point by saying 360 is outselling PS3 in the combined Americas and EMEAA is to show you that PS3 will never rapidly reduce the lead. The lead 360 has will only be chipped away at slowly thanks to Japan, that's my point.

So people who think PS3 will surpass 360 in 2012, they are just wrong. I don't need to be an analyst to show you that.

I agree with you anything can happen. I'm just being realistic and basing this off what I see. PS3 can surpass 360 in WW sales, but if it does, it won't happen for a while.

LOL Bats....Batman can see all the time.
