PS3

US - 400,000

360

US - 325,000

O.o

DS

US - 850,000

Wii

US - 800,000

You just forgot to talk about this little detail. LoL


Somebody already beat you to it earlier in the thread and CGI made it pretty clear he didn't forget at all. But you know, it is ok to make a thread about console sales and the PS360 sales battle without the Wii in it...

Thank you!

The problem is that it is unclear if this thread is about BF sales or about PS3 vs. 360. As we can see in other people posts, a lot of them thought it was about BF sales.

So it just went from a 75k gap to a 125k gap? O_o

Can we have those "expected better" posters come back please?

It was just a matter of time. It seems Sony has learned from its mistakes that its made earlier this generation. At the same time, Microsoft seems to have phoned it in for 2009. Hopefully, in 2010, Microsoft will bring their "A game" and Sony will bring theirs, too. It should be brutal!

@atma998

You were so quick to try and insert your Wii/DS numbers into CGI-Quality's post that you forgot about the PSP numbers.

Seems you missed a little detail as well.

I guess darth's thread title could be right after all: "SIGNIFICANTLY".

Yeah. Those PS3 sales are awesome.

The 360 might have performed better if the bundles weren't so crappy.

The PS3 had strong 1st party titles while the 360 basically had shovelware.

excuses, excuses.

 

The real reason why PS3 sold more is that it had a 100$ price cut recently and had good ads. 

You PS3 fans are so defensive.

I'm not saying the 360 would have outsold the PS3 with better games, I'm just saying it would have PERFORMED BETTER if it came with GOOD GAMES. It not an excuse and the fact is the PS3 got bundled with better games.

Defensive ? I was not defensive at all.

Fact still remains that most people expected PS3 to be outsold by 360 on BF and it was a poor performance by 360 in 2009 compared to 2008.

And I don't think that the modern warfare bundle along with AC2 and L4D2 is crap.

Truth is you are a defensive 360 fan.

You said "excuses, excuses" because you felt I was attacking the PS3 and that's clear as day. I'm just pointing out they did a much better job bundling the PS3 than the 360.

Also I did not see AC2 or L4D2 bundled. I saw the ads in the paper and I do read gaming news websites. So if those bundles were out there they must have been limited to certain locations. I do know those game were discounted, which I'm sure played a role in the 360 having superior software sales.

Truth is the 360 bundles were mostly lame (there might have been a few out there that had a good game). But every PS3 bundle had high quality games.

Please describe lame and why the PS3 bundles in comparison aren't to be considered as lame. (:

How about this, you go look at the Black Friday ads and find a 360 bundle as appealing as Killzone 2 and inFamous.

Good luck!

I tried but I must humbly agree, the PS3 library is just that superior(than the best of the newest 360 bundles).

And in honesty, I can't imagine bringing the 360 oldies from the bargain bins into the bundles would have helped.

Still, I had expected the 360's lower entrance price and more games per bundle plus MW2 to give a much different result.

You're changing the subject. I don't care what you can't imagine or expected. The fact is better bundles would have sold more 360 consoles.

Edit - with more data coming in, it looks like PS3 could actually be as high as 450,000 for the week once all is said and done.

Oh, my God! Fixed my prediction.

Wii --- 1.15 million

PS3 --- 700k (or more)

360 --- 450k

PS360 GAP = -250k (or more)

PS3 Always UP after Slim second place domination.

The best PS3 week ever (until FFXIII Japan launch week).

From the article:

PSP sales were down over 35% year on year

 

Link contained in the OP with last years numbers.

http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=51405

PSP - 254K

Around 165k PSPs sold this Black Friday.

 

That is how you really put things into perspective.

The information was there for you to use the entire time.

 

 

Just trying to bust yoru chops.
