Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Can Xbox 360 catch back up to Ps3 this holiday season?

By now, with China market, I think PS3 and Xbox 360 could overtake the Wii WW.

Sweet irony...

Well after this week's data comes in, PS3 will 2M ahead of X360 for the year and about 1M ahead overall in lifetime sales. I don't see this happening.



Not a chance, there never was a chance.

I think Wii is dead and Nintendo has to push the WiiU despairingly.

No, I think the PS2 has more market atractiveness for China than the Wii.

That's not true. PS3 was ahead for 2010 and 2011, even before adjustments. It also sold more from Nov-Dec 2012 iirc before adjustments.

No, before adjustment the 360 won those years. I remember well the treads. And, if I´m not wrong, Don Matrick said at 2011 E3 that "the 360 was the leading platform in the world last year".

But, again, we can´t have certainty. The way VGChartz has been making the magic with PS3 number outside US/EUR and Japan is just another complicating factor.

You are correct, and Sony didn't argue it one bit.  Yet, VGChartz had the PS3 ahead, go figure.

They even had it getting close to pulling ahead a while back, then had to do some 6 million adjustment or something huge like that. It like reset the year to the previous one's ratio.

I think the Xbox 360 will sell 4-6 million more this holiday, depending on how and if they adjust the price.  It will be probably within 1-2 million.

Has anyone tried the Xbox 360E model?  And do they like it?



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

well,i think the wii had more to do with that than the 360.... with that said,you're comparing 12 and a half years of sales of the ps2 compared to just under 7 years of ps3 sales.. compare the numbers once the ps3  finally closes shop.. it wont be at 155m,but its not gonna lose half its base.. it will be over 100m  once its all over. ps brand has long legs 

Curious, why do you think people will still be buying the PS3 when the PS4 is out?  Mostly price?

Nope, because Sony has GT6 releasing in this holiday. Anyway, it is not important any more when the new generation consoles come out.



All I can say is Vgchartz cannot win XD
