Forums - Sales - Will the X360 overtake the PS3's weekly sales in the next couple of weeks?

Tagged games:

Blockbusters exclusives coming out, new colors coming out, later in the year a pricecut aswel.

Nope, I don't think 360 will ever outsell the PS3 outside a couple weeks in the holidays.

In terms of public awareness the PS4 is announced. It's been widely publicised that it'll be unveiled on the 20th and anyone who doesn't live under a rock is aware of it

Suddenly internet forum awareness can be directly applied to general sales! amazing


I leave my house and talk to people though, and on Monday pretty much everyone was talking about the PS4



ps3 is doing terrible recently in america, why is that? I actually though it would come this year a bit closer to the 360 than previous years due to more major exclusiv software releases in 2013?



Why would it be stupid to buy a ps3?

It's almost inevitable that the PS4 won't have backwards compatibility, so all those exclusives will only be available on that console always, plus it will take time for the PS4 to build up a nice enough library to make it worth the purchase.

PS4 annoucement might not happen on 20th feb after all...

It will be as if Sony trolled the entire PS3 fanbase... even though it was brought upon themselves lol

But I wont hold my breath, im bracing for the worst case scenerio, a PS4 reveal.

How is PS4 a worse case scenario? Are you, the consumer, disappointed when a new product releases?

Infact you should see it as an exciting glimpse of next gen and the announcement of a product you may want to buy in the future, even though you likely pledge allegiance to microsoft now; anything can happen during the transition to next gen systems.

Like how many PS2 owners got a 360, even though I currently like the PS3 the 720 could end up being the system I pick up, although it's not likely it's always a chance. You are a consumer and you should be looking for what the best product is for your money regardless of the brand name attatched to it.

Sony systems usually sell well after their successors are released, let alone announced. Ps3 will do about 25 million after ps4 is released I reckon looking at how ps2 sold about 50 million after ps3 came out and adjusting for a longer life cycle for ps3.


@bolded, no chance in hell that'll happen...that's an average of 100k per week for 250 weeks (roughly 5 years...)

He's a hardcore Microsoft fan, so he doesn't want the PS4 to have a sales headstart on the nextbox next gen

Kowenicki, APM and Carl don't count


Pezus, I know this may be shocking to you, but some people don't spend all their waking hours on vgchartz like you do. The public know the PS4 is coming. There were shitloads of statuses about it on facebook too
