Forums - Sales - Is PS3 going to loose this week to XBOX360 (week ending 1 March 08)

Yeah there was never that much of a 360 supply issue. It was more of a demand issue, and that hasnt been fixed lol.

The 360 may have gained as much as 5,000 on the PS3 in Japan, and was outsold by 43,000 last week. You do the math...

360 won't pass the PS3 this year with anything short of a price cut. Its out of the race, only thing left if to slow the PS3's progress against it. But it will never widen the gap.

Well, after many months of reading forums and browsing this website I've finally joined up, so yay me!

And my theory is that 'if' there were supply issues which they have now solved (which to be honest I'm doubting in the first instance) . Then I fully expect Xbox360 to outsell PS3 in N.A ONLY. However going towards the end of the year I expect this to become more and more infrequent.

World wide I anticpate PS3 to hold steady though and outsell the Xbox360 (Again) this week but by a significantly smaller margin than previous weeks (if the supply issues are to be believed)

I think this week its gonna be close... too close to call if the early Japanese numbers are anything to go by.

 PS3 will at least double xbox's sale, I wouldn't call that exactly 'close'


Overall I expect PS3 to keep beating 360 most weeks, but I kind of feel people are holding on for some of the big games now, so that the gap might be closer this week.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

Early numbers of japan shows that PS3 and XBOX are going to be almost equal.

Moreover i don't think there was any worth while release in US or Europe.

Plus XBOX supplies issues should have eased pretty much by now.

and the quick gains made by PS3 due to Blu-Ray victory should be coming to an end.

So the number should be pretty close (as PS3 winning others, XBOX winning NA and Japan getting even)..  and XBOX might just win by few hundred...


um.... WHAT!? i didnt realize that the 360 had supply issues. is this an actual fact or are you just making it up? do you have any actual proof? if so please... enlighten me.



the nintendo wii will outsell the ps3 and the 360 combined by the end of 2008.                           

        PS3 will out sell the 360 june 2010.

No

All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

We will see if there ever was a 360 supply shortage in NA this week. It sold 88K last week, so if it doesn't sell over 100K this week, then there were no shortages (or an extremely minor shortage).

If there truly was a 360 shortage then overall I expect the PS3 to outsell the 360 by 15-20K worldwide.

If there were no 360 shortages, then the PS3 will outsell the 360 by about 35-40K worldwide.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the ps3 EVENTUALLY beats the 360 by 19 million in Japan this generation too--once big name titles (FF, MGS, etc.) start to hit and the price gets down to $200.


 No. Not going to happen. PS3 certainly won't fail in Japan ( thanks to FFXIII ), but it will be greatly behind the Wii. And as we all know, Japan is only capaple of supporting only ONE console.



Yes, the Xbox 360 "supply issues." PS3 will still get it worldwide cause of EU and because of residual Blu-Ray buzz.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Well we won't know EU numbers today cus all numbers are delayed
