Forums - Sales - PS3/Xbox 360 gap got bigger?

Going by your stats the gap between PS3 and Xbox 360 got bigger since launch. Hows that possible when the PS3 beat Xbox 360 in Japan and Europe and this year also has stronger sales in USA? How is it possible that 360 was just around 5 million ahead when the PS3 launched?



Around the Network

well at first the 360 sold more than the PS3, up until about the start of this year, then the PS3 started catching up.

Done and done?



...

Check the chart. 360 was often outselling PS3 until around the '07 holidays.

That's still hardly possible as the PS3 sold a few millions at launch alone. The 360 would have to outsell the PS3 by huge margins to just compensate the launch.

Apparently, within the first five weeks of the PS3s launch it sold below 1 mil.

The 360 was selling more than the PS3 during holiday season 2006. And for most of 2007, even after the PAL launch, the 360 sold more worldwide every week.

 



 

 

@ Shadowblind
You are using VGChartz data as a proof when I actually have a problem with these numbers. It's hard to belive the PS3 didn't sell at least 2 million in the first month in USA/Japan/EU combined.
