Forums - Microsoft - USA: 360 Outsold PS3 by 100,000 Units in November (NPD)

Right now the PS3 is cheap, it has a very well known and respected name aswell. I see no reason why the 360 would outsell it seeing how most hardcore gamers already bought their console. I think the PS3 is now cashing in big on the mainstream gamers who are done with the Wii. If Natal isn't a success then the PS3 mght actually make good on SOny's promise that it would be a console that would win on the long run. Ofcourse if Nintendo releases a new console and Microsft a while later aswell then it shouldnt really count to ''winning'' anything as it's just being bought by people for the few games htey missed. We'll have to wait and see but this generation could end quite interesting.

There are times that it is really difficult to calculate these bloodey numbers I suppose.

The great thing about this site is that the margin of error (if we suppose that NPD is 100% right) is very small.

The only thing that happened is that they underestimated the power of XBOX in America, while they did great job with PS3.

The only thing in which I agree is that a lot of people, mostly 360 fans has left the site. The situation in the forums is almost intolerable.

 

So, about the actual numbers...

360 is 500 k console ahead so far this year, when PS3 has the biggest (and better to be honest) lineup and a console relaunch.

What will happen next year (oh my god... halo......)?

360 is a beast!

Iv been on vgchartz since may 2008,are the 360 guys really leaving vgchartz cause that sucks to know because I have  been active alot more the past month and knowing that alot of them are leaving kinda sucks to know.

If it was: PS3 800k vs X360 700k there would be probably like 5 threads about how X360 is doomed, but when it's the oposite PS3-spambots go out and "it's only US" or "who cares PS3 WW outsold it" etc.


but there is already 5 thread about NPD numbers claiming 360 is dominating and forgetting the Wallmart deal or the MW2 bundle ...

On NeoGAF they are banning people for 6 months if they bring up the Walmart deal, MW2 bundles or the XBL bans in the NPD thread.  I wish the mods would do the same here.  Seriously, grow up people.

hells no... they are tight enough as it is... this use to be one of the freest forums to post on and the very nature causes interesting fanboy attacks... but now they crack down on stuff to much... use to be if someone posted a stupid comment and you called them out on it you where fine, but now you get banned

Agreed. Being treated like a kid is not the way forward. If that's what you want go to neogaf.

In all honesty most people that call for bans are hypocrites.

Everything that is listed above (in the previous post) is related to MS.

If the stabbing is against their console, ban them.

If the stabbing is against the console they don't support. It is alright.

LOL, that's just stupid. It's not like they are trolling against it. Anyway it's nice to see old faces again.:)

Well I've never been modded here and I pretty much say what I want.  And, from what I've seen, these forums ARE very liberal with their modding.  I've seen more troll post here than on most that I frequent (which isn't a ton, to be honest).  But to keep harping on the Walmart deal and MW2 bundles and the COMPLETELY unconfirmed banning number IS trolling.  Last year it was the price cut being the only reason it outsold the PS3, now its these things.

The FACT is that the PS3 completely blew away its sales from November 2008 and its fans can't even celebrate that because they're too busy focusing on the 100k more that the 360 sold and trying to discredit it.  Yeah, it makes these forums annoying and floods threads with non-constructive discussion.

Others have stated that 360 fans are leaving these forums in droves.  That would really be a shame.

I got banned for calling poeple idiots for complaining about the NPD post saying "America isn't the world!!!!1!1!!one!!!11!eleven!"

It wasn't even a direct insult just a general one and completely warrented considering the topic of discussion... I have issue with several of the mods here... someone can get banned for saying something off topic in one forum, but no one bans the guys who keep bringing up GT5 in the Forza 3 post.  That's where people get the biased idea from though the mods are for the most part impartial when doing their job... and I stress for the most part.



do any Americans honestly give a shit about sales overseas? i couldn't care less if Microsoft pulled out of Europe and japan. i also hate playing with foreigners...always laggy as hell.



Not a 360 fanboy, just a PS3 fanboy hater that likes putting them in their place ^.^

Great news, nice to see more people getting a 360.

Do you really think Microsoft can maintain a viable platform by only being in one market?

Actually, the ps3 sold more, worldwide. A lot more. We're talking 1,735,000 ps3's to 1,056,000 360's. That's 679,000 MORE ps3's sold in November than 360's!

 

There, there feel better now.

@Jordahn.

I see what he means and it's not about the positive news stories for other consoles being posted but how most 360 threads especially ones which have positive news about the 360 or MS are hijacked by PS fanboys but if you can't see it then maybe you are one of them he's talking about, or maybe you should look at the quoted comment above as just one small example.

 

Good news for the 360. I didn't expect it to be that much and even though it wasn't needed in this thread at all it's impressive how much the PS3 sold WW.
