First I want you to see this week, it shows Sony failing because console owners want blockbuster titles that people were aware of (Halo). http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly.php?date=39355&console=&maker=&boxartz=1

-Notice how the 360 has 10 times the software sold that week than the PS3

-Notice how the 360 was higher than the wii

-And yes I know that was the 360's biggest game but it represents Sony not keeping their support from previous gens

Now let's take a look at this week http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly.php?date=39572&console=&maker=&boxartz=1 Sont lost it's biggest exclusive franchise ever (GTA). And the 360 version has 2 exclusive downloadable contents that persuade people to have a 360

-Notice how the 360 version outsold the PS3 version even though the PS3 version was bundled

-However this was the beginning of Sony's comeback, with the help of Gran turismo and Grand theft Auto 4, and Blue ray, the PS3 was able to outsell the 360 by a large margine.

-We are also seeing games like Fifa, PES, and Devil may cry sell better on PS3 than 360.

-We are also seeing exelent legs on older PS3 games like heavenly sword and ratchet and clank.

Now let's see the peak of sony's comeback http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly.php?date=39614&console=&maker=&boxartz=1 Metal gear solid week.

-The PS3 sold about three times more consoles than the 360.

-For perhaps the first time the PS3 sold more software than the 360

-Things were great for Playstation, the 360 was starving for sales in Europe and was about tie in America and the PS3 kicked the 360's butt in japan.

-The 360-PS3 gap has narrowed

-Small 360 pricecuts in europe seemed to have failed

This is where the 360 gets its thunder back http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly.php?date=39698&console=&maker=&boxartz=1

-It has a newly released rpg in japan

-It touched the casual market

-The 360 had a huge price cut

A big software war! http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly.php?date=39761&console=&maker=&boxartz=1 Sony loses big time!

-Gears of war 2 outsells resistance 2 9-1!

-Fable 2 sales crushes Little big planet sales big time

-Fallout 3 sells twice as good on 360

-Total software sales on 360 is almost 2X that of PS3

-But soccer games sell better on PS3 as Football games sell better on 360

In this week alone the gain ground by the PS3 was lost to the 360... http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly.php?date=39782&console=&maker=&boxartz=1

Sony is trying to have a "Metal gear solid week" by releasing quality titles like infamous and Killzone 2 but I feel that the only thing they have left is Grn turismo 5, but it will have a short term effect similar to Metal Gear solid 4... In conclusion, it's not quality of games that sells a console, it's mostly about price and advertizement...

Discuss, and I may edit later...

Yes, after MGS4 was released Ps3 was outselling the 360 for a few months though I think, wasnt it? Not until the price cut did 360 take back it's spot and Ps3 hasn't had a good week since. You also forgot Ps3 had a price cut around MGS4 as well. I don't think until Ps3 lowers price will it have a chance of beating 360 ww again and even if it does, 360 can cut it's price on elite models. Don't quote me it's just a guess.

Sony likes releasing big games to sell hw but the problem is those are usually short term boosts, their price cut boosted it steadily for a while.

you just called football soccer..

GTA is a Sony exclusive? Even though GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas were released on the Xbox?

Timed exclusive on Ps2, they get ported to xbox later.

I just wish they would make more RPG games like Star Ocean, and FF for the PC. That'll be a big gain to the gaming companies, and would screw up the console companies real bad. :D

Too bad FFXIII - Versus is exculsively for the PS2 though. :(

you sir are a fucking douche

Uh no way, it's the rise of Xbox 360. There is no comeback they never needed one.

and pc.
