Forums - Sales - PS3 outsells the XBox 360 for the 17th week in a row.

The funny thing is you guys would be so pissed if every week the Nintendo fanboys made a thread about how much the Wii outsold the PS3 that week.

If anything at least keep it to one thread instead of making a new one each week.

sony went from 120 mill ps2's vs 25 mill xbox's

so even if at the end of this generation the score would be
60 mill ps3 vs 30 mill 360's
sony still will have lost a tremendous amound of market share

You act like Xbox did it. It was 100% Nintendo.

Both of you make the mistake of using the past tense. Ain't over by a long shot. And the console w/ the longest life will of course be PS3. I'm not claiming anything specific about sales, here. It's just that if Sony doesn't quite reach the ABSOLUTE DOMINATION with PS3 that it did with PS2....oh well, hey Microsoft, look at Sony: that's how you make LOTS and LOTS of money with gaming consoles.

Can Wii beat PS2 numbers? Probably not.

Look, I like Nintendo, just.......this isn't completely a zero sum game. There will be tons and tons of PS3/Wii dual owners (far mor than 360/Wii by gen-end), and at least 10 million 360 owners (incl. future ones) will buy a PS3 at some later point in time, after 360 is buried and unsupported.


I'm sorry but that is 100% LOL material right there.

40k in a slow season is a "tiny bit"? It was winning over 100k in the holiday season, expect that to happen again unless something changes.

Also, I have a bad feeling about where this thread is headed.

When consoles' the PS3 is competing against have 12 and 7m leads, a few k per week is not going to get it done. It needs to outsell it by 100k in the slow season weekly. In the holidays, it should be by 250-300.

100K/week during the slow season would make up about 4 million units during the slow parts of the year. The remaining 12 weeks would be the fast season, as far as sales are concerned, and a 100k gap would be relatively small.

Also, will everyone please calm down about MGS4? MGS is *not* Halo-like in terms of sales. It's a good series to more hardcore gamers who like interactive movies, but it's not the kind of game that can carry a console.


 It is not Halo like but it does sell multiple millions, not many franchises are able to claim that.  From VGC listings, the lowest the three main games have sold is 3.96 million.  I don't think many developers would turn that down.

 A race is only fun when it's close. I hope that explain the 'excitment'. After all, nobody cares about total domination, it's those nail-biters people like.



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

KH3 bet: "If KH3 comes to Wii exclusive, I will take a 1 month of sig/avatar by otheres open a thread apologize and praise you guys' brilliance." http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?start=50&id=18379

: Too Human I even expect 3-4 mill entire life and 500,000 first day. GoW2 ( expect 7 - 9 million entire life and over 2 mill first day), Fable 2 (expect 5-6 million entire life and 1.5 mill fist day) BK3 (expect 4 - 5 mill sales entire life and 1 mill first day).. Tales/IU/TLR should get to 2 or 3 million! post id: 868878
Episode 2:
Letsdance: FFXIII (PS3+360) first week in NA = 286K
According to pre-order rate in week 13 (post id: 2902544)

Why do people still count this shit down. I mean you don't see Wii fans counting down every countless week it outsells 360 and PS3. Or DS over PSP.

I mean seriously it was cute the first few weeks but now its just annoying.

 Just watch. A PS3 at $299 with the big games is going to give the Wii a serious run for its crown. If the PS3 can sell on par with the Wii for the rest of this generation starting August or September, the 12,000,000 between them wont matter much. As far as third party support the Playstation brand will still be first in mind. The PS3 doesn't need to beat the Wii to remain a household name and guarantee the #1 spot next gen. It just needs to keep pace while still providing better games.

Xbox is hardcore, Playstation 3 is hardcore, therefore yes XBOX killed playstation.



 

mM

If you go by that assumption leo-j, then Sony killed themselves because they were the weakest system on the market last gen, which is definitely not hardcore. They weren't content I guess with 120 million sold, they wanted 120 million sold and be the most powerful, but most powerful means expensive and you don't get to 120 million by being expensive.

If you think that's funny because you think it's wrong, then please, don't start writing for a comedy show.  I really can't tell what you mean though, so:

Assuming you were being serious, which I almost can't imagine: lifetime profits of Sony's gaming line annihilate Microsoft's.  It's such a truism that I'm not going to go search for the numbers for you.  Anyone can, and everyone here knows it's the truth.  And if you divide total profits by years in the business for each company, same result: Sony FTW, M$ teh suck. 

Didn't MS just turn their first yearly profit?  And the profit was bullshit anyway, because it didn't count the $1 billion in costs for all the returned RRoD and otherwise bunk consoles.

And to any whose hate-filled MS hearts want to say, "PS3 is different tho, it'll lose money, it's a failure."  No, it will make sh*tloads of money by gen-end.  Great success.  Don't forget, Sony made PS2 also.  If Sony was so interested in having PS3 beat PS2, Sony would discontinue selling PS2s.  Most self-evident thing ever, but some insist that PS3 < PS2 in sales equates to failure for Sony.  Did y'all go to business school with George W. Bush?

LOL.

And if you weren't doubting what I said, pretend I was arguing w/ someone who laughably did.  Cool. 



These thread should stop til the PS3 passes the 360 in EU, then lets make a thread about it.

@ cwbys21

Processing power doesn't mean anything. Still won't believe that crap until Gamecube games suddenly look better than PS2 games. Well, because nothing touches Shadow of Colossus or God of War 2.
