Forums - Sales - If the PS3 sells more units than the 360, does it win the console war?

Catching up to the 360 would be enough reason for me to believe that it deserves that title.

Well MS is most likely going to walk out of this gen with profit. Sony on the other hand... is it best to cut their losses now?

If someone could give me the profit/loss information on the Xbox 360, accurate to the 10's of millions I would probably give them $50 for it. Sadly thats unlikely to happen and using the EDD reports just makes a certain group of people cum in their pants, but it doesn't really enlighten us any.

 

well, EDD has lost $3B since the X360 launched, and we know that most of it is from the X360. Something tells me they will not earn that back before the X360 leaves the market.

 




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Even $100,000,000 per quarter difference is enough to skew the actual Xbox 360 numbers off the EDD numbers quite significantly over time. Its difficult to determine what exactly they are doing, but the headcount there is way way higher than what is required for Microsoft Game Studio/Xbox 360 operations.

 



Tease.
