PS3 launched at $500/$600, not $600. Seems no one has a memory.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

Well members from 2007 will remember how badly people were trashing the PS3. It will get taken of shevles. The wii will outsell the PS2. The 360 will be in distant second.


Well didnt work out. I always said the Wii will stop selling before PS360. and i always said the PS3 will outsell the 360. So yes it is a big deal.

I really am dumbfounded by the "sales don't matter" argument. It is ... just gawd ... sad. A website that revolves around sales and suddenly the sales don't matter.

Got to love the the internet, the people, and especially the fans. Unbelievable XD

Sales won't matter after the next-gen kicks off, which is when the PS3 will most likely permanently surpass the 360 in LTD sales (I expect a bit of back-and-forth between the two going into next year as both recieve price cuts in the coming months).

Still, it will be fun to watch Sony fans claim "victory" over M$ even though Sony lost all the momentum it had going from the previous gen and a bunch of exclusive 3rd party franchises in the process.  And if it weren't for the fact that M$'s presence is non-existent in one of the three big gaming markets out there (Japan), 360 would have left the PS3 in the dust in total sales a long time ago.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

How come sales don't matter after a generation's end? Of course every sale matters! Generations have overlapping starts and finishes. Look at how much the PS2 still sells - it's from the past generation for sure but it still overtakes Xbox 360 in Japan certain weeks... so it's certainly not insignificant, and the amount of consoles sold still add up to lifetime totals and hold up against newer generation consoles (PS2 vs DS).

I think that after "the great PS3 depression" of 2007-2008, it is a great "victory" for Sony to have even stayed in the market, closed the gap this much and maintain all third party support.

I say the PS3 will surpass the 360 in worldwide sales in Q3 2013 and then lose the lead again just slightly due to the 360 performing better in the Holidays. By the beginning of 2014 I expect them to be at a statistical tie and the PS3 will overtake the 360 for good in Q1 2014.

To all those yabbering about which side did the bigger accomplishment this gen I would say their about the same. Both of them had complete screw-ups at the beginning of the gen. The PS3 had it's ridiculous price and launching way later (then again launching later doesn't mean squat as is obvious from the Wii) and the 360 had the horrible debacle known as RROD and being a complete failure in Japan (probably mostly due to RROD). And both had good moments where they shined such as brand name, extremely strong exclusive line-up, slim, Blu-ray and to a much lesser extent, Move for the PS3. Whereas the 360 had the one year head start, Kinect (which single-handily kept it in second place), the slim redesign and to a much lesser extent, all of those special edition 360's.

i knew i liked you for some reason, but i disagree with only one part. PS3 will take and keep the lead in 2013, but only by a small margin.

both are reasonable though right?

all 3 screwed up, but 1st place screwed up less.

Yeah I can honestly see it going either way. I just believe that the 360 will pull ahead of the PS3 by the end of the year 2013 because it usually does better during the holidays. However the gap may just already be large enough by the Holiday season 2013 that it might not be able to take back the lead.
