so it's tied with the 360?

yep :)


not really, xbox numbers are as of end of Q3, while sony numbers are as of 4th of november. so there is just a months gap between the two

yep.. 360 is probably around 70-72M

2M is just 1 month? ¬_¬.  I expect at most 500k.

Wow, this is great news for the PS3 despite being released a full year later than the 360. The gap is a lot smaller than I thought. The fact that it matches 360's lifetime sales to retailers (as of last month) is amazing! Not bad for a console that was deemed a "failure."

PS3 software tracking is pretty good here. So much for mass under tracking.

Why this completely irrelevant post?

1-year later in US/Japan. 1-1/2 years later in Europe.

And a bad start with the Multiplat Developers in terms of performance of their games on the PS3 and of course that a lot of 3rd Party Devs sponsored the 360 with Exclusives(here and there even with well known franchises) and gave it an extreme advantage.
Its impressive how strong Sony came back especially after all those set backs in the past few years.
Next year with the big wave of AAAAAAAAAA+ Exclusives from The Last of Us,God of War till Beyond Two Souls it should be enough to overtake the 360 completely.GTA5 shouldn't be that strong either on the 360 this time as GTA4 was and CoD...well lets see and wait.

Okay, just saw this thread, and boy was it derailed! Derailed before I even got a chance to read the first dozen posts.

Did they know the price when they made that prediction?


Do we really need to dig out all of the threads where almost everyone predicted the PS3 would stroll past the 360 in no time. And yes, these threads were after the PS3 release. 

Problem is that he isn't talking about forum goers.

I am. People here seem to want to re-write history. 


Dude, seriously. Just chill and congratulate Sony. No need for all your downplaying.

Congrats to Sony for selling 70m with the most expensive console and coming out a year late. From haters claiming it to be 2nd Dreamcast to a success story. No one expected this 5 years ago and I'm sure it will stop selling around 100m.



Sony is in the dumps right now. I'm not sure how you can call it a success. S&P just lowered there credit rating to one above total sh-t. So I think you need to look into the numbers again. However your having a hard time understanding these numbers. So just keep thinking everything is cool. Sony is going down in flames and your happy about that?

Will be a bitter pill for Microsoft to swallow, despite their best efforts they're going to finish behind Sony again. 

Congrats Sony! I still expect the PS3 to top 100 million, it'll surpass the original PlayStation.
