Forums - Sales Discussion - PS3 VS X360: So, who won ?

curl-6 on 06 June 2020

As a 360 owner and "hardcore gamer" (ugh, i hate that term) I can't say I ever felt "abandoned" in the 360's later years.

I just ignored Kinect and kept on playing games like Halo Reach/4, Gears 3/Judgement, other console exclusives like Witcher 2, Alan Wake, and Splinter Cell Conviction, and the better version of most multiplatform games.

It was the Xbone when they lost me.



Bet with Liquidlaser: I say PS5 and Xbox Series will sell more than 56 million combined by the end of 2023. (And over 130 million lifetime)

I’m not wrong to say Xbox 360 was a western dominated brand. Unless you show me a Japanese passport you probably lived in a country where Xbox beat Ps3. 

You can't just write out Japan and claim that all the other countries were won by 360. It's not how it works. I don't have the sales data for each country but if I were to guess, PS3 won in the majority of markets where both consoles were available. It's just that the lead of 360 in US (the biggest console market) over PS3 was so huge that it compensated all the losses they had everywhere. So, to sum this up, I am almost sure that the majority of users here on VGC lived in a country where PS3 beat 360 and not the other way around unless this said user lived in US or UK.

I only know the software of PS3 which is 999.4M. How much software did X360 sell?

More than 1b

I’d say most people on this site are from the West. And even countries where PS3 sold more like Spain and Germany, I don’t think they populate this site. Unless they went out of their way to really know the English language most of us are from NA and UK here. Don Ferrari I know is from Brazil, kudos to his English (thought they only spoke Portugese). 



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
