Look at recent sales chart and notice heavy presence of 360 version of games and barely any PS3's.

The only thing I see is ps3 beating 360 every week in software, kinda weird when both have almost the same userbase

Check the last couple of weeks on the global charts.

Then check Amazon.

Are we seeing the same numbers? I did check the last week and 4 weeks more before and ps3 won in all of them. Also, amazon?...

Amazon is a good US indicator. It shows gamer buying trends.

What games PS3 outsold its 360 counter-part besides Fifa last month & this?

there you have it, we were talking about global sales not US only. Not my problem if it doesn't fit with your agenda. Do you really expect PS3 to win software in the US when 360 wins almost 2:1 in hardware? god...

Well not in UK either. And as of now, few games are being published exclusively for 7th gen to make a big demand.

The only markets significantly selling games for the 7th gen now are US, UK and Japan.

It will eventually since a lot of X360 owners are jumping ship to PS4 and Sony home consoles are known for their legs as a world wide gaming brand since 1994. Highest tie ratio since 2001 means bull shit when you sell 24 million consoles.


It means less bullshit when the 360 outsold the ps3 this time, and sold tons more software. The 360 sold more games, period. One thing that will never happen though, neither will sell more software than the wii. How's that for bullshit.

That's definitely bullshit, alright. The 360, based on current software sales, is pretty much guaranteed to pass the Wii in software soon. It's currently at ~923m for the Wii vs 905m for the 360 vs 847m for the PS3. Last week the Wii sold 208k, the 360 sold 1478k and the PS3 sold 2150k. So the 360 is essentially guaranteed to pass the Wii, the PS3 is fairly likely to do so, and the PS3 passing the 360, while less likely, is definitely still within the realm of possibility.

Maybe you should actually look at the numbers VGC provides so you don't look so misinformed.

We don't have the MS software shipment to make a accurate comparision.

This.  Sony actually gives us total SW shipments for their consoles.  MS does not.  For all we know, the 360's numbers could be overtracked by quite a bit.

the fact is globally PS3 has been kicking the 360's butt for a few years now and continues to this present day. You pick out the UK and USA and make it seem that that's the global trend. It's not. They are the exception to the rule because while Sony loses here they more than make up for it in all these so called lesser regions. The 360 is ahead software wise because of the year headstart and the 18 month headstart in the EU. It could just about catch the 360 in a few years on VGchartz but we don't know the official numbers from MS anyway so it's pointless.

Lol, well, it's a personal victory I guess. Fanboys have to try and brag about SOMETHING well after the old gen ends. Lol. What's funny, is all you Fanboys are bragging about it like you are sony, and always seem to try to do it before it ever happens. You try to brag about the ps3 beating the 360 in software sales, then when I say neither will beat the wii, you sony Fanboys use the 360 as ammo for it passing the wii, because the ps3 never will. Lol. What a victory! Haha, man, Fanboys will never have a real life, will you?
