so it's tied with the 360?


Nope. Shipped v sold. The gap could be anything. Bear in mind shipments are massive this time of year. 


this is as of novermber for ps, and end of septmeber for xbox. are the sony numbers ship or sold?  but either way the gap has never been smaller

Again, you don't know that because you don't know the 360 November 16 shipments.  Considering the supply needed for November I'd say the gap is probably bigger.   


true, but usually it takes more time for PS3 numbers to catch up to xbox numbers. it only took about 1 months for PS3 to match the 360's last announced shipments. 

Edit : one month

I refer you back to the previous post. This is THE shipment quarter, 360 will have shipped at least 72m by now, at least. 


anyways lets hope the vita does good this quarter...... why? because then sony will stop combining its stupid sales with the psp and the ps2 with ps3 and we can finally stop speculating like this

The console that almost reached it's competitor's market base with one year less. No matter what, nothing changes that.

aye, was thinking this too when you see massive shipment announcements now, you really have no idea how many of whatever is shipped in the next month will end up in the Jan sales after failing to shift over the holidays. Think of how many game shops are in the world and consider each of those will have their own pile of consoles ready for santa to make for kids over the holidays :D this is the number you need to take away from 70million to get the actual number sold to people, and yeah like Kowenicki said this is the Month of filling store rooms.

And stays in 3rd after 6 years on the market... Nothing changes that and nobody, but nobody, expected that. 


Stays in 3rd? 360 and PS3 both shipped 70million now. How do you know which one shipped a bit more than the other?

my friend turkish these numbers are as of 4th of november, xbox as of end of september. so xbox most probably shipped more units in this month. but seeing how things are going its just a matter of time until ps3 takes over 360. i predict by end of september 2013

For pity sake. Think.

This is PS3 shipments for into November. The 360 will be at 72m or so by now, if not more.  


2m since end of september? Yeah whatever. Fact is the consoles will shift place much sooner than you think. What was your prediction again, when Nextbox was going into pre-orders?
