Its comical that they are so entrenched in your being that you cannot recognize that but instead argue and rant about how well they sell.

What i think is funny is that to many people think that the PS3 will fly past the 360 in the next few months.

Look at this graph.

Since the November of 2006 through the end of 2007 the 360 has outsold the PS3 by about 2m units, thus actually increasing their overall lead.

Now look at this graph.

Since the beginning of this year the PS3 has outsold the 360 by about 900k in 4 mos. At this rate it will gain on the 360 by about 2.7m a year. That means by the end of this year the difference between PS3 and 360 will be barely less than the difference between them when the PS3 launched.

Based on that trend it won't catch the 360 at this rate until the end of 2009, maybe even 2010. Which will be the time when MS won't care anymore really and be pushing the neXtBox. Now, I have always said the PS3 will catch mid-2009 due to FF13 and Japan. But, that would be due to a reasonable large influx of new PS3's sold on FF13's launch.

EDIT: I added the actual numbers in case the links don't automatically show them.


very nice research!

i agree with you, but trust me MS will care, because it will affect how they push the next console.

I love how people compare 5 months of no data and sales to the opposite.

Wow many of you guys are really sad. You are so entrenched in your beloved machine its like it is an extension of your body. Here it is plain and simple, sales figures do not make a difference at all.

Who really gives a shit if there console sells well? Its like many of you guys live, eat and breathe the Playstation 3 or Sony.

"ps3 will overtake 360 very soon, and i cant wait for that to happen.
it will shut a lot of lies and propaganda against sony`s machine"...Are you serious? You can't wait for this to happen huh? Wow you must lead such an exciting life.

"lol well in 3th place we are under 1m system away in other too over take you guys there then all thats left is NA and you guys havent outsold the ps3 wrold wide for half a year now..........our BIG exlusive games are just a few weeks away and thay will be hiting hard and fast"...Ummm, its called women my friend, go out and get one.

All I have to say is these companies are multi-million dollar corporations who really do not give a crap about you and simply want your money. Its comical that they are so entrenched in your being that you cannot recognize that but instead argue and rant about how well they sell.



this guy is speaking the truth......but fo real, I remember a guy made a comment that when ps3 passes the 360 in sales the next gta will be exclusive, I mean where do these guys come up with this stuff...if that was the case it would have been 360 exclusive because it has the larger install base at the moment....unless you work for the gaming divison for one of these companies I really dont understand why you care so much

360 reminds me of HD DVD

 1.

So? We are over twice as big in NA compared to you, and microsoft just wanted to increase it's brand in europe, not to be #1 (and sony won't be that because of the wii) I know what you're gonna say though "well xbox sucks japan" Xbox has always sucked in japan, but this GEN it has increased to 600,000 units sold, better than 300,000 with the original xbox.

 

 2. Yes, but the xbox has outsold the ps3 for a long time. And even when the ps3 was trailing, ps3 fanboys always said it would outsell the xbox in the future, and now I make the same case as you. Why isn't the xbox able to outsell the ps3 again in the future? I think it will eventually.

   The ps3 proved there is always a chance for a resurgeance.

 

 

3.

Well, that doesn't mean the 360 won't have its BIG,BIG, HUGE A$$ games  either, I expect the 360 to do better than the ps3 in the holiday season (fable 2, ninja gaiden 2, halo wars, banjo 3 maybe?, and more) I think the ps3 fanboys are getting a little bit cocky and are only looking at their software lineup. AND DON'T you dare mention FF it won't be out in 2008! (and also I hate FF so it won't sway my, and ,like-minded gamers opinions)

What I found funny on this website is how a lot of people were spewing that GTAIV was going to move a lot of consoles during it's first week of release? Just exactly which consoled got moved the most? The Wii. It smeared the slimy asses of both Sony and Microsoft last week like they were Nintendo's mucus. I think a lot of you people just don't understand it's not only the price of the console which will sell the most, but the diversity of the library. Just what does X360 and PS3 have to offer for EVERYONE? I don't see games that involve problem solving most of the time, strategy and of course having fun with people of all ages. Just WHY do you think that the Wii is selling as insanely as it is? Nintendo made it to be small, quiet, and affordable. What the hell did you think they meant by that? Plus the system is more inviting (psychology-wise; white objects tend to be inviting, the PS3 is normally black, which repels peoples' tastes)

Sony and Microsoft (as their current consoles stand) have very little titles that offer a lot to everyone--the mass market. Not just price, but the games. A lot of people don't want a damn shooter. Same gameplay, graphics vary and to top it all off, it's just a new paint job. Violent games might sell a lot, but pretty much a lot of people just don't give a fucking damn about it. The people I work with are all into video games that pretty much are engrossing, and the only ones that are belong to Nintendo, their games and their consoles. My workmates are not Nintendo fanboys/fangirls at all, they just like what Nintendo has to offer more than the over zealous violence and immature games Microsoft and Sony offer. I can give you the reason that violence is not always fun, but immature. The best way to solve violence in real life is by being MATURE about it by not trying to start it. Therefore, violent games are immature (GTA).

I think PRETTY MUCH all the people who want all these high profile games ALREADY HAVE a PS3 or X360. You can pretty much GUESS it through last week's console sales for PS3 and X360 respectfully. Really, look at it. All this unwanted hype on this website about the 'AAA' games are going to sell consoles (except for bundled consoles with the games included) are pretty much redundant because people already have that console the high profile game is going to be released on. So quit spewing this hype unless you already know the facts I presented. THE END.
