isn't this the greatest come back ever?

- Down 9 Million behind Xbox at one point of time.
- Launched one year behind Xbox in USA and a Year and half in Europe.
- The most expensive launch console ever.
- Lost the two biggest gaming markets and still able to come back.

If this is not the greatest come back ever, then what is?

No. There was a thread regarding this specific topic and a counter-thread which more or less destroyed the first thread.

In terms of sales, PS3 did make the greatest comeback ever. You can't deny that.

I didn't deny it. But the whole issue was discussed before in the threads I was talking about. You can still have your own opinion on that but this doesn't change data. Feel free to look the the threads up again. I think this thread is the wrong thread to discuss it again.

Well, you cant force what you think on other people.

Of course not. You can provide data and it's up to everyone to make an opinion of it on his own.

8	Xbox 360 (X360)	42.92	23.49	1.64	7.43	75.48
9	PlayStation 3 (PS3)	26.51	29.36	9.27	9.44	74.58

This is what it was earlier today. Rather large adjustment.

Both should reach 80m soon so congratz to both!

Will either of them reach 80 million before one or other launches their nexgen console and pretty much makes this gen a dead duck oin terms of PS3 vs 360? figuring an October / November launch that would require an averge of about 130K per week from here on. That would be a stretch for PS3 and highly unlikely for 360 without some major price cuts (for both consoles) soonish.

Kinda an anti-climax to have the gap su suddenly and dramatically narrowed down to almost nothing. I was really enmjoying watching the lead be slowly eaten away and wondering if it would be gone before one of them launches their next console. Now it's like, meh, it's inevitable so no longer very interesting.

A generation oin which all the console makers can be pretty happy with themselves. Yes, Sony the least happy, but still happy. Unfortunately Nintendo has gone into the next generation stubbing its toe, but Sony and Microsoft can approach their impending launches with optimism.

I didn't catch up with the last estimate of PS3 LTD shipments after the March Q. But I assume that because Sony carries a bit more stock in the retail channels (partly because they sell in more markets) it means PS3 LTD shipments are already ahead of 360?

Holy shit! ADJUSTMENTS! XD

Look at the PSP & PS3 go. Both close to passing 80 million.

Can't wait for a certain someone to post in this thread.

Why is there no party thread? Playstation adjusted up by 8 mill psp by 3 mil and now gt5 is the third best selling game on the ps3 :O

First we got news on infamous second son and the ps4, then gt6 coming for the ps3 and we still have to wait for e3 and a huge game coming for the vita.

Please don't go there, PS fans are permanently drunk on party threads as it is (well some of them, I like Sony's gaming direction too).

Have some decorum and humility for once (not speaking directly at you but generally).

I'm happy that there are adjustments since it is a step in the right direction. However, I greatly disapprove of this system where they just update the numbers and make absolutely no mention of them. I would like an official thread that explains ALL of the adjustments that were made and WHY they were made. Bring some accountability to the site.

I agree, adjustments of this magnitude (highest ever I believe on VGChartz, certainly most "interesting" at any rate) demand a thread from admin explaining them. Anything else is just not professional.
