Good turnaround for 360 and it deserves the momentum going into the holidays. Its nearly impossible to keep up with the good games coming out.

Basically, alot of PS3 more than 360 installed base predictions by certain dates will go out the window and a lot of song changing will ensue as its already beginning in this thread.

" Its nearly impossible to keep up with the good games coming out." Wrong

 

Cool charts though, first time I've seen this, keep it up.

 LOL. You know what based on the charts you have here in this thread. There is no reason whatsoever other than fanboyism that the PS3 will overtake or even catch the 360. Like I said it's not caught a single unit since release.

Some of the PS3 fanboys predictions in that thread are unbelievable. And I also see some PS3 fanboys not even touching this thread.

they will eventually most likly when ever the ps3 gets its next price cut and the graph shows the ps3 eating into the 360, its a backin forth thing

Just updated my VgChartz console file (including selling data/% of worldwide console userbase, from Nov 06 to today) and was wondering, if there were charts made where i could see them visually.(difference between 360 and Ps3, no need to include Wii :p )

Nice work.
Keep it up.

@ kowenicki

Well I studied the Cell a long time ago, a friend (one of the PS3coderz.com guys) also wrote some well written in depth articles on the subject. I have been a tech writer for various tech websites in the past. I don't just believe the "hype", I understand potential and roadblocks. That's why I said it would take lots of time and effort redesigning PC and PS2 game engines. But we have already come a long way (with regard to PS3 exclusive game engines).



There's a lot of untapped SPE processing potential (as for all past and even upcoming top games, including Killzone 2). MGS4 makes good use of Blu-Ray disc though to deliver high quality assets. An architecture like the PS3 takes a lot of time and effort to get the most out of it, but every step forward for your game engine is a step forward you take with you while developing your next game.

A quote will be helpful. Gears 2 will get the most out of the 360, any further future gains will be minor.

 Ahh but the price-cut is a long way away. Sony cannot absolutely afford to have a price-cut. If they do then the little chance they have of profitablity is gone. And maybe not until PS5 will they be able to get the money back.

kowenicki said: MikeB said: @ kowenicki Or perhaps retailers anticipate demand and sometimes they overestimate that demand. That argument can be valid for one quarter report, but if the sales trend continues for follow up quarters it doesn't make sense. The claim becomes invalid, lots of units left in stock means retailers will buy fewer units for the follow up periods.   Mike... are my graphs accurate and correct or not???  If not then you may aswell leave this site because the data used forms the basis of every discussion and debate that takes place here surrounding sales. So are they accurate.. yes or no will do.

 

What do you mean by accurate? It's accurate based on VGChartz data, is VGChartz data accurate? Yes and no, depending on perspectives. It's certainly not 100% accurate, as for instance else there wouldn't be any major corrections from time to time.

The retail sales from financial reports are however fully accurate (rounded figures though).
