So Halo 4 in 3rd place even with PS3 "dominating"? Impressive! Would have been nice if they had shown the ratio of the sold multi-plats...

And? The only biggest execlusive in consoles last year... so you expected it to sell bad? PS3 sold more hardware and software than 360 in 2010, 2011 and 2012... befor that the 360 sold more.

The only one? What about journey? But nonetheless - when reading this thread one could think that x360 isn't strong in AU but for a console that isn't strong Halo4 sold extremely good so the userbase seems quite high. And why should an exclusive sell good when the userbase is small?.

Wow nobody is saying the userbase is small. Its like you completely ignored the entire thread. Halo 3 is the 3rd best selling game in EU as well, and look at the difference between PS3 and 360 for 2012 there, 4.7 to 2.9.

 

PS3 'dominated' 2012 and 2011. Do you think everyone who bought their Xboxs before then gave up on it and stopped purchasing games for it? Xbox lifetime sales here are still fairly strong.

He is just saying crazy things... Journey is digital so how can it enter in TOP10 retail sales (even so I can see how Journey can do near Halo numbers in any country... Halo >>>>>>>>>>> Journey).

Halo is big... I will think weird if it not enter in the TOP10 NPD for the year in Aus.

you can turn it either way - you do it the ps3-fanboy-way, I do it the other way :)

Dude what part PS3 outsold in hardware and software the 360 in the last three years... and it's the only console up more than 10% in Aus in 2012 you don't get.

You are wrong even if I'm a fanboy (yes... I'm)... face it... you can do nothing to change that.

FACT > FANBOYSM!!!


I don't argue that PS3 outsold 360 in the last 3 years - where did I? I think it is impressive that *although* it was outsold the last 3 years a game for 360 manages to be 3rd place and it was released in *november*. You say Halo4 didn't manage to push 360 enough to outsell PS3, I say even when outsold Halo4 sold impressive numbers. So what, *Dude*?

And again, I still say we don't have actual and current *numbers*, you know, something like 1,2,3... not percentages or vague articles.

You need to remember this, microsoft cut the 360's price by over $150 last year, and they had halo and still managed to fall behind

microsoft needs to do something quick, simple.

If that help PS3 have the price droped in Aus over $300 in the last two years... from $600 to $300 the cheaper model... that's the reason the PS3 was up 2012 in Aus.
