XB1 isn't at 12.8m LTD shipped, baloney!!!

360 is still 1m ahead of PS3 lifetime, and with 360 outselling it over the holidays 2:1 I think it may have the longer legs as well.

10th anniversary will be very interesting to see what MS do.

Minecraft themed 360 for $99? $$$$$$$

Your wild guess, nowhere near to be proven though. And about the outselling stuff, lol, we don't even have 360 shippments numbers, now we are going to state sales? Saying it outsold the PS3 over 2:1 during the holidays worldwide... care to provide some proof please?

They are in a kinda impossible situation.  One where they don't know how they want to handle it.  On one hand, they can accept that the XBO has shipped more and therefore not as far behind the PS4 as many think.  But, this also means that it takes sales away from the 360, since MS only reports both combined, now.  Should they pick the other hand, where 360 has sold about a mil above PS3, but it takes away sales from the XBO?  Either way, they can't argue for both.

what about a tie? the difference between them is so minimal that a tie for both sounds more reasonable and a perfect excuse to stop caring for last gen consoles.

I shall not lay down my firearm until the other side has lowered theirs. 

Seriously, I will consider it basically a tie in the end, anyway.  MS did a good job at taking advantage of Sony's/PS3's faults and making big gains with the Xbox brand.  And on the flip side, Sony did a good job at turning the ship around and demonstrating how large the PS brand truly is, which helped them springboard into this gen.



Around the Network

PS3 is listed as 4th best selling console and 360 is listed as 5th so I'm guessing the PS3 tool second. PS4 will knock the 360 out of the top 5 though



More Xbox distributed (MS always like to have many consoles in shells lol), more ps3s sold to consumers. I can only give you that, take it or leave it, the other option is the ps3 did both things distributed more consoles and sold more to consumers.



Xbox 360 doesn't sell well enough in NA to offset the entire global market that PlayStation 3 thrives in



I am admittedly a PlayStation fanboy, but I have to say that it's probable that the 360 outsold the PS3, as much as I want it to not be true.

Here is the 360 shipment data between Q1-3 of each calendar year compared to Q4.

2006 Q1+2+3: 4.5m | 2006 Q4: 4.4m (-2%)
2007 Q1+2+3: 3.0m | 2007 Q4: 4.3m (+43%)
2008 Q1+2+3: 4.8m | 2008 Q4: 6.0m (+25%)
2009 Q1+2+3: 5.0m | 2009 Q4: 5.2m (+4%)
2010 Q1+2+3: 5.8m | 2010 Q4: 6.3m (+9%)
2011 Q1+2+3: 6.7m | 2011 Q4: 8.2m (+22%)
2012 Q1+2+3: 4.2m | 2012 Q4: 5.9m (+41%)
2013 Q1+2+3: 3.5m | 2013 Q4: 3.5m (+0%)
2014 Q1: 800k

360 facing drops of ~40% for Q4 2013 and Q1 2014 would probably indicate a drop for Q2 and 3 of 2014.

2014 Q1+2+3: 2.1m | 2014 Q4: ???

Looking at the data, the 360 has experienced an increase of shipments in Q4 compared to Q1+2+3 combined. It was only ever down once (slightly) and even once. So if the 360 was experiencing ~40% drops for Q1+2+3 of 2014, then Q4 might be similar.

*2014 Q1+2+3: 2.1m | 2014 Q4: 2.1m (+0%)

Look at that. A 40% drop still follows MS's pattern of shipments.

A 50% drop is unlikely YOY, but would still equal 1.75m.

*2014 Q1+2+3: 2.1m | 2014 Q4: 1.75m (-17%)

Now that is unprecedented looking at the data above.

360 is still ahead shipment wise at ~87m shipped.



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

Is this the second reaction thread already? Seece really ruffled some feathers


Why Seece whyyyyy? Lol

So we are worrying/arguing about the 1st place "loser" still? The Wii started either a couple of days before or after the PS3 and dusted it and climbed all over the 360. We dont really recognize that SMH :(



Tagged i will read your wall of text later im busy right now, and i will avoid to comment any thoughts on this for the same reason i didnt comment on Seeces thread, becuase after we actually have the SOLD through numbers we really have no final and factual proof of who came in second.

we may have some shipped numbers, but shipped =/= sold.
