It is interesting because the reports were that the PS3 cleaned up on Black Friday in the US. But NPD says the Xbox 360 outsold the PS3 in November (including Black Friday).

I expect the PS3 to loose steam about Dec. 26.   Until then, it will continue to sell more than last year. And it will battle the Xbox 360 for second place.

 360 outsold the PS3 also on Black Friday? Link?

Sorry -- misplaced modifier. 

What I meant to say was that Xbox 360 outsold the PS3 for the month, which included Black Friday.

I am well aware that the PS3 did gangbusters the day after Thanksgiving in the US and did not mean to convey otherwise.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

If only the writer of the original article had better grammar I'd take it a little more seriously. "their" instead of "there". "Sold" instead of "sales" or "sell" (can't rememebr what the proper wording should have been and not going to re-read just to find out).

And wow, I can't believe "PS3 is [not] doomed" panicky sounding articles coming out just because PS3 sold less than 360 in the USA according to NPD. When around the world PS3 is well ahead of the 360. And, so far, no adjustments on VGC, so if you give more credence to VGC numbers than NPD (or even equal) the article itself is based on incorrect (or dubious at best) data.

I'll accept 360>PS3 in USA in November 2009 as not in dispute when VGC numbers say so. Until then I'll accept the possibility that NPD numbers are right and VGC numbers wrong, but only the possibility. It's also possible the VGC numbers are right giving PS3 a slight edge for November in Americas. Yes, VGC Americas =/= NPD, but I don't think one system outsells in the USA but the other system outsells over the entire American continent(s) very often.

As long as the PS3 keeps close to the 360 in NA ( Not being outsold by over 100 K ) then they'll be fine for the holidays.



Who's the best Pac, Nas, and Big. Just leave it to that.

The PS3 did great, the 360 did better, in their own turf. Seriously I though it was clear:

360 will win NA, UK
PS3 : JAPAN, OTHERS
WII: The World
DS= GOD
PSP= Whatever

reported for trolling

Darth, he meant 'whatever' in terms that it did 'meh' or 'whatever.' You can't tell a person's tone on the Interwebz, for whether or not they are being sarcastic. Do you understand?

Being on topic, let's just wait and see what happens. No one is a prophet so we can't foresee what happens. It'll be exciting to see what happens, just like Christmas Lol, sorry, bad exaggeration. It will just be interesting to see what the masses want for purchasing.

Lame, that's not trolling. The fact is PSP has been lost in the fold.

Overall software sales are poor, hardware sales are down, and PSPgo is a disaster.

In my opinion "whatever" is basically saying its losing relevance as a competitor.

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
