Damn, MK beat GTAIV PS3???

Yes, since the install base is bigger


 You and I both know it is still shocking for Mario Kart Wii to outsell GTA 4 on the PS3. It is more a testament to Mario Karts selling power than anything else though.

Minutes prior to NPD Group's release of monthly U.S. game sales data, Microsoft has revealed it has sold 188,000 Xbox 360s sold in April; GTA IV on 360 tops software charts.
ImageMicrosoft said that U.S. Xbox 360 sales now total 10.1 million, with 19 million sold worldwide. The console launched in November 2005.

Sony PlayStation 3 figures have yet to be revealed, but a press statement from Microsoft said that Xbox 360 "continues to outsell PS3."

Ouch, those are pretty shit sales.

The "continues to outsell" bit is probably some weird combination of revenue from hardware and software but only when counting 3rd party developers whose names begin with the letter M, S, or T.


 Actually 360 outsold PS3 last NPD month. Sure a spin-work but could be true.

If anything, May is going to be even more lopsided as the Wii Fit is coming.

QFT, I think there is a damn good chance that we could see a 1m NPD month.  And by damn good I mean almost a certainty.

Why do I get the feeling that PS3 outsold the 360 and the "continues to outsell PS3" rhetoric is just some pathetic spin using anything other than raw sales data?

Kinda wonder what they mean by "continues" to outself PS3... since when?

 

I'm waiting before the OFFICIAL number before commenting. People needs to chill for a second here.


Since last month. Didn't the 360 outsell the PS3 by 5k units in March?

 less than 2-3% is hardly "outselling", we are talking about error rate of about the same.



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

if ps3 numbers are lower than the 360's, then...i have no words.

188K ...... I DO NOT believe that.....I CAN NOT!



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Well, even if 360 didn't outsell PS3 then 360 numbers are still crap.
