@smcc1887 no they arent. Sony are losing money... MS arent. how do you measure success????

If you combine all Sony systems together against the Xbox 360

Sony systems have:

Sold/sell the most hardware

Xbox 360 < PS2 + PS3 + PSP combined.

Made more money than the Xbox and Xbox 360 has

Thats one statistic which is changing fast. No way, I doubt the Xbox 360 will be able to bank MS all the cash that the PS2 and PSP have banked Sony. Plus, if you are taking the origionl xbox into account.......it lost loads didnt it?

Sold/sell the most software.

Xbox 360 > PS3 + PS2 + PSP last week Fair enough, you are correct. Is this a common trend or an unusual week?

Have the most 3rd Party support

Had* I still think that PSP + PS2 + PS3 current 3rd party support is greater than the Xbox 360s current support.

Have the most 1st Party support

Its costing their shirt to do it, sure. They still make money on software. Sure it costs alot to make great games, but they usually make their money back from the game sales

 

They are in an unprofitable patch at the minute, so once they get PS3 to the break even stage they will be even more successful.

 Even more successful than? Microsofts gaming division.

So currently, sony consoles are outselling microsoft consoles for the week. Can we expect any 'oh my godz microsoft is doomedzzz' threads now then?

I dont think MS has ever outsold Sony if you include the PS2 which alot of people forget about

 

 

360 outsold PS3 plus PS2 two weeks ago.

What about PSP

 

 

what about it?... im talking about home consoles... Microsoft dont compete in the handheld market so its hardly fair to include it.

Oh, I thought we were talking about Microsoft and Sonys hardware sales, not home consoles sales.

 

 

to be honest even including the PS2 is a red herring in my opinion... as PS3 is sonys future... the PS2 will be gone before too long.

You're right, what kind of stupid damage control is that? I think the "playstation family" shit belongs at sdf!

 

Call it what you wish but its still Factual. Yes at the minute Microsoft are destroying the PS3 in the gaming market, but at the same time Sony as a whole are destroying Microsoft simply due to the fact that they have 3 consoles at retail.

 

 

One of which is dying, another that is burning a hold in Sony's back pocket and another that can't be making them much money because the softwar sales are dier and the thing itself probably isn't making that much money.

Seems like PS3 will sell more than half a million units last week world wide...

20 million is in the bag before 2009.

600k my estimate for this week
600-800k the last week

I want software sales though for World wide, atleast Others, to see if LBP sales increased again.

Maybe selling 250k?

 I can't believe you are still making predictions. Every single one failed so hard and you just keep on making them. Respect for that.

@topic this one will fail just as hard as all the others before. (well MAYBE due to adjustments, but I don't think you calculate with adjustments)

Actually, his one prediction was spot on, save for one week, PS3 did stay above 120k for 51/52 weeks this year.  Considering when the prediction was made, it was an awesome prediction.

He was wrong by three weeks, not one, clearly your maths skills are as good as leo-j's

 

Leo-J - Don't you ever get sick of being wrong all the time? I swear that on your rightest day of your rightest month of your rightest life in your rightest parallel universe you'd still be wrong.
