PS3 is ahead, squashing 360 every week. End of the thread.   And PS4 squashing XBox One. 


Looks like you leave around holiday season or something. because you're completely wrong.

And what are you basing your statement on?

The only week the PS3 was behind the X360 in global sales in 2013 was Black Friday week.

2012, 2011, 2010 etc....

Hahahaha what? You can't be serious. 

Thats what I thought at first, but apparently they are dead serious.

they have ended up on should, would and could's, but they cant accept what actually did happen like xbox got a 1 year lead and was cheaper.


Numbers show 360 is ahead, that is it. Not woulda shoulda. Point being RROD caused many to not invest in MS. To not say so is just ignorant. All of you where running around spamming that sh-t non-stop. I remember I was around. Point being you all said it would ruin them, Now it had no effect at all? LOLOLOLOLO

im not sure what numbers you are looking at but on my screen it says:

x360: 80.3m

PS3: 81.0m

And people also said $599 would ruin PS3, Now it had no effect at all? LOLOLOLOLO

Do we need any more proof now??

PS3 + PS4 - 7.8

360 + One - 7.4 (3.5m 360, 3.9m XB1)

PS4 sold through 4.2m, so who knows what they shipped, 4.5m? More? Leaving 3.3m for PS3.

Mid October MS announced 80m, Sony announced 80m 3 weeks later.

The numbers here are way out that's for sure.

360 @ 80m Oct 17th - http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/10/17/xbox-360-80-million-sold-and-counting

PS3 @ 80m Nov 6th - http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/11/06/ps3-sells-over-80-million-units-with-4332-games-released


Xbox 360 tied for last place. Xbox 1 no longer doomed. confirmed

The numbers on the screen have been wrong many times and contested and that is what this thread is about. You might want to go reread the front page, you most likley didn't do that, you just commented.

The X360 sold less globally in each of those years too.

I guess it depends what you call ahead, even if they sold exactly the same number of machines today or a few months ago and remained so, it remains that the PS3 was in stores 16 months AFTER the 360, it outsold the 360 globally every years since, so it catched up after a while.

Now you can try to spin it a win for MS any way you want, MS definitely sold more in the States and the UK... I guess they have this going for them.

I did have a look, and with every passing year, the difference between the two consoles kept shrinking (because the PS3 was selling more than the X360 each year, eroding the lead it had because of the head start).

lol, is that all MS could manage with an early launch, cheaper hardware, and better multiplatforms?
The saddest part is that even though its on the verge of losing that tiny lead it may have, people are still boasting about it.


Yeah, and no RROD happened which hurt a *lot* of sales in the beginning. Interesting how only good arguments come in for 360 to defend PS3...


No it didnt hurt it actually, it actually led to more sales and I bet the units MS replaced were counted in their 'sales' data


Oh sure, it led to more sales! Man, who would've imagined... Better to build faulty hardware instead of working one, you are a genius. Or a funny guy, but one of these for sure!

Well, when people have said they've bought 3-5 360s due to hardware failures....that does kinda pad the numbers, don't you think? "Why don't you just buy a PS3 so you don't have to keep buying 360s?" "Well, I have 15 games. Can't play that on a PS3"

There obviously was no foresight, as your sarcasm would dictate, to make a faulty console and then reap the benefits of re-buys. What happened was the 3660 had great software and high attach ratios....and it just so happened to break easily. And when your console breaks, you get a new one because like I showed in the above example, you can't play 15 360 games on PS3. Not to mention that people stayed with 360 to keep their gamerscore as well.

Don't sit there and act like there have been no reports of people buying multiple consoles. I'm not saying something ridiculous like....only 20M people bought a 360 and they've all had to buy 4. I'm saying that many people have bought multiple consoles, and as a result, it "boosted sales". When MS goes into a board meeting they aren't gonna say "We sold 2 consoles, but one was a replacement for a broken one, so we don't have more customers". They're gonna say "we sold 2 360s" because their bottom line is all that matters


Of course there were people who bought multiple consoles. But the most sales happened when there was no RROD anymore in new hardware-revisions.

I agree that the numbers on the front page have been wrong / adjusted before.  However, they have now shown the PS3 ahead of the X360 for months, and there have not been any corrections or adjustments to reverse that.

The OP has shipment numbers for a given date.  Since those are directly from the manufacturers, they are probably as accurate as you can get (I am assuming the Sony number was shipped and not sold, as this is not 100% clear from reading the article).  Those numbers don't tell us anything about what the sales were to consumers, or what they were at the end of November when the new consoles launched, or what they were at the end of the year.
