Forums - Sales Discussion - The PS3 did NOT make a comeback.

iTechHeads on 01 December 2014

For Xbox One to make a comeback it would need to retake the US and the UK. I don't see that happening any time soon, if ever. The damage has been done.

The PS3 never did bad, but Sony lost A LOT of ground to Microsoft and Nintendo in the 7th generation.


People can say that the years head start for the 360 didn't do them good as they still finished in 3rd (albeit practically tied) 

But if the PS3 and 360 released at the same time (And 360 still had RROD, PS3 hype from PS2) it might have been scrapped. Or at least be where Wii U is without the amazing exclusives. 

Yes, but Microsoft went from selling 24 million Xbox's against 155 million PS2's to 84 million Xbox 360's against 86+- PS3's. Sony might be back in full swing with the PS4, but they allowed Microsoft to become so big. And Microsoft isn't going anywhere (And Nintendo will keep clinging on, who knows they might have another surprise succes).


Totally Agree.

PS4 is just catching up the ground. Wii catched up from everything since N64, but the Wii U unfortunately is loosing install base and Nintendo customers.

No wait, the Wii brought most of the casuals, and also the casuals went away after it.

The XBOX ONE could end up somehow outselling PS4 by the end of the gen. Nothing is for certain yet. (except perhaps, the positions of Vita, 3DS and Wii U.)

Hey, if the XBone coud win this gen, then we can't discart the WiiU also being able to win. It would require something like Half Life 3 exclusive to the system, but you never know :)



You know it deserves the GOTY.

The only reason people thought the pose PS3 was doing bad was because the 360 was doing surprisingly good fighting outside of its weight class. People expected it to overtake the Xbox's year long lead in virtually no time. That's all.

ok I get your point I think! no I don't. what the hell I'm posting for? ok I have to salvage this post some how.

ok why isn't the 2013 listed. PS3 outsold 360 then as well.

ok how bout this cause I really have nothing to say cause I lost the point of this thread. the PS3 came back to outsell the 360 but it didn't make a comeback?

yea, I'm just going to post this.

I didn't list 2013 and 2014 as the point was already made.

 

It's not a comback if you allign the launches, they were never behind.

I'll put what OP said into even simpler terms.

The PS3 making a "comeback" is akin to the PS4 making a "comeback"

 

"But hold on, the PS4 has always outsold the XBone".

And the PS3 has always outsold the 360. So how did the PS3 make a "comeback"? And the contingent question is "how can XBone 'pull a PS3' if the PS3 didn't even do what the [incorrect] definition of 'pulling a PS3' is?" If anything, PS4 is the one making a "comeback" and "pulling a PS3" =/ if we're using last gen as the basis

There was no comeback in terms of sales. If anything it was a PR comeback.

In 2007 (year after launch), the PS3 outsold the 360

In 2008 the PS3 Lost by 700k units (equal to PS4 Sales week ending 22nd November)

In 2009 the PS3 outsold the 360

In 2010 the PS3 outsold the 360

In 2011 the PS3 outsold the 360

In 2012 the PS3 outsold the 360

In 2013.....

In 2014.....

 

The Xbox One can't really do a 'PS3' considering the PS3 never did a 'PS3' (On some level that sentance makes sense)

The reason it won't do a "PS3" is because outside of the US, no one wants an Xbone lol.
