PS3's global software are pretty beastly.

This doesn't even count digital sales does it? Sony's investment in smaller countries, where many people may not be able to afford to jump into next gen for the first few years, has really paid off. Keep in mind that the 360 released a year or more before the ps3 in many markets. Any idea how the 360 did about a year ago?

Even with black friday, big releases for 3ds , ps4 and xone The ps3 was The best software seller. Maybe sony's promise of 10 year life cycle ( with good games, not the shitty games consoles tends to get when they are already diyng.) will come true


Which games are on the roadmap from Sony for PS3?

Ok, so the same as 360.

I'm always surprised when I see old consoles like XBOX 360 and PS3 still selling this far into their life cycles. I'm like, "who didn't own these things for the past 10 years?"


In 3rd world countries the PS3 and 360 are still expensive and only now are approaching an affordable price. PS4 and X1 are insanely expensive.

Everytime I saw and American complaining about the 500 bucks X1, I laughed. I paid that for my PS3 in 2011. And almost the double for my PS4. A DS4 costs 130 dollars on Brazil. And don't even ask about 3DS and Vita because portables sell way less here and are even more overpriced.

That explains why PS3 is outselling the 360 handily now. The main markets for 360 are US and UK, both early adopters. PS3 is stronger in the RoW, EU (that has big markets that are early adopters but others like the EU East are more late) and even Japan is a little more conservative when migrating gens.



Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.

Expected, PS2 was the same if I recall correctly.

I don't believe you.

From what I've heard around these parts, the PS4 has no games.

 

Edit - WHOOPS!!! What a fail on my part... .__.

Guess it still has no games.


and PS3 users upgraded faster than xbox users because 360 players are still satisfied. Guess that explains PS3 selling more software :/ 

No. What doesn't make sense about the PS3 owner not being satisfied as 360 owners is the simple fact that the PS3 is selling quite a bit more than the 360.  And yes the software.  There were a few weeks where the PS3 outsold the Xbox One...

 

Edit: Never mind,  you are right as well,  the PS3 software sales crushed everything else this year.


LMAO I was joking. People came up with excuses why the PS4 was trouncing the X1 in sales and the best reason was "PS3 owners were less statisfied with their console than X360 owners and that's why the PS4 is selling moar" lol

Ok, so the same as 360.

There's also Yakuza 5, and whatever digital titles were announced in PSX. (All I remember is Suikoden 2.)

Yes, both platforms may still receive one or two exclusives but that's it. Digital games, tbh, do not count, in my opinion. Suikoden II is over 15 years old as many other games which get a digital release that get rereleased over all those years. There are a lot of other and cheaper ways to play these games.
