Forums - Sales - X360 now has more 10m sellers than the PS2

VGKing on 16 December 2012

Ethomaz is right though. PS2 data could be way off and we just don't have anything to compare it to.

Either way congratz Xbox 360 on 6 10m+ sellers.

san andreas was crazy! over 20m on one console alone. another interesting thing is, take out kinect adventures and GT3 sold more than any current game on xbox 360, including MONSTERS like call of duty! very impressive for a racing game.


MW3 will overtake it in a few weeks. Besides, GT3 is the most heavily bundled game of all time.



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

I didn't know that.  you think it's over 2 billion by now?

The lastest official Sony data at March, 2012 is...

1.53 billion units shipped

So no... VGC is overtracking a lot of PS2 games here (of course there are some undertracked but the overall is over 120 million overtracked).

Everything related to hardware and software before 2006 is way wrong here.

Edit - Just to know the VGC have PS2 software sales at 1.64 billion sold... that's impossible.

oh, well still it's amazing to see how much more software it's sold than anyone else.  Also the "other territories" number is still remarkable as it's higher than Gamecube's entire sales.

Without bundles GT3 is getting easily outsold by Call of Duty.


OT:

Some possible additions to the list in the future:

Halo Reach (though with digital bundles it's already there)
Black Ops 2 (easily)
Halo 4 (maybe)
GTA V (maybe)
Next CoD (if the split between current gen and next gen is not too big)

I agree Super Mario Brothers is the most bundled game of all time.

Well it's 500 million over any other console already released (the second have ~900 million).

You are right but you know too the blundles is just strong in US... so from 6.85m sold in US I think ~4 million come from bundles... other territories just have limited bundles.
