Forums - Sales - 360 Now Has 8m Gap Over PS3

Hyruken said:

Highest gap there has ever been between the two consoles. Which means the PS3 in its 3rd year has failed to gain back one console on the 360.

Realisticly you have to say that it will be very difficult for the PS3 to get that back.

 

OH this is very interesting, the PS3 released 3 years ago? You might want to look at up buddy, then again you were so adament about MGS4 going on 360 and that being announced at the VG awards show I get the feeling you made this thread with EVIL EVIL intentions. +_-

This current year is the PS3's 3rd year...

 

 Thats what i said. It is in its 3rd year. It has just had its 3rd holiday season on the market. Meaning the PS3 has been in the biggest selling parts of the year for the past 3 years  (06,07 and 08).

People complain about that fact and try and make the console sound new. It has been out since november 2006. That is over 26 months ago it is no longer new....

Back on topic though people also have to remember IF the PS3 price cut comes in say April as rumoured that is still 4 months of the current trend. If the 360 outsells the PS3 by say 200k (currently over 300k) a week that would mean by April 09 the 360 will most probably have a minimum 9m gap by then. Again a price cut will help the PS3 to increase sales but enough so to sell as much as the 360 currently is? I just cant see it. Even a $100 price drop still makes it around $300 etc.. will the average person who has not bought a 360,Wii or a PS3 yet really want to part with that much cash in a recession year? I maintain what i said before the holidays, holidays 2008 will see the end of the high sales for consoles this generation.

 If you actually read what i said you will see i said "the ps3 in its 3rd year"

Now without being a fanboy tell me what is wrong with that statement exactly?

As for the MGS4 announcement i never even said it was going to be announced.......I said Kojima was there and a special announcement was going to be made. I asked if the two could be related.

Seriously some people really really need help dont they....

Even if the PS3 catches up to the Xbox360, MS still wins. MS goal was to stop the domination of the Playstation brand and they did it. Of course the Wii is on another level.

My guess is they will finish like 45 - 55 million units

 

 

 

ahhhh fucking baby shit himself. finish post later.


I LOL'd !

Well the first was a silly from me, sorry about that one. But the VG Awards announcement, I remember very well you making a thread and saying Kojima was there for MGS4 on 360. I also remember you saying Jack Black would come out on stage with a big 360 suprise being MGS4 on 360. LOL that was some serious clutching onto straws.

Fanboys, serious business.

So 360 beat PS3 by 320K this past week. Next week should still be a 200K beating so the end of 2008 the lead will be 8.2 million. When does it hit 9 million? I suspect by E3 the lead will be ~9.5 million.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

 Do you want me to go back and show the quotes from that thread that will make you look even more of a bullshitter/idiot then you already look?

Because if you do see what i said your see i actually quoted what Major Nelson said in his podcast not what i thought...

Here is where i quoted it from

http://kotaku.com/5109674/your-half+assed-viewers-guide-to-tonights-vgas

Notice he said "Xbox fans are really gonna like how (host Jack Black) opens the show. There'll be a big surprise, how he opens the show", "Every segment will have a new world exclusive," , "Boldface names live in attendance include Cliffy B and Hideo Kojima".

So because he was there and he had just put up a teaser on his website about MGS franchise was it really far out there to wonder if he was going to mention something there? I think not.

Maybe you should actually read what people write/say before you jump in there with your "your a fanboy" speech. If you cant handle the fact that on a games website there might be some speculation about games then maybe your in the wrong place hey? But nice attempt at trying to change the subject from games sales in a game sales forum to trying to discredit me and what ive said in a thread based on what Major Nelson said in a podcast....As i said some people really do need help.



Hyruken, you made a thread about MGS4 going onto 360 at the VG awards show. People were giving you facts about why it would not happen but you were clinging onto straws, just could not face the fact MGS4 would not be announced for 360.

Listen if you like that game get a PS3, it's extremely sad when I see someone like you on the internet. :(



 

8 million was what i predicted in my thread a few weeks ago, really not that suprising considering the entry price of 360 combined with financial happenings during this time.

2009 will be interesting on how ps3 pricing goes, but in the meantime it will be even more interesting which console provides the best games.



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...


There are too many people who believe that any of this actually matters.

First of all, the 360 has only outsold the PS3 by about 3 million since it launched, and whether the PS3 or the 360 finishes in second is irrelevant as it would be a far distant second with neither being able to claim a decisive or clear victory over the third place console.
