Forums - Gaming - PS3 closed gap on 360 in US last month, says Pachter

swearitsoul on 13 April 2009

If Sony had invested more in advertising like Microsoft did at the beginning I feel this could be very different.

I think he's off the mark and that the 360 outsold the PS3 by at least 80,000 in March.

I hate to be a pessimist but, "closing the gap" for one month is not something to be declaring proudly. Right now they need to completely close the gap, then start out selling it and then manage to do that for about 3 years. Even at that point I'm not sure it matters anymore.

 

True...which might be why it's something SONY isn't declaring proudly. This is Pachter afterall.

 

My bad, I thought it was just another slop mouthed Sony PR guy.  I'm at work and I was paying half attention ;P These kind of statements seem to come out weekly from one company or another.

The monthly sales gap between the PS3 and the 360.

Within the next two months the PS3 should be outselling the 360 worldwide

 Right, which is still less than 360 outsold PS3 by in February, hence the 'closing the gap' headline...

the stated gap in Feb was 115000.  So anything less than that is considered a win for PS3. Sad, but true!

 



Trying to convince me the Wii is a real adult game machine 'if you play it right' is like trying to convince me Tofu tastes great 'if you just cook it right'
