PS3 almost matched 360 this month in the US, look at the released chart from NPD. PS3 sold almost 212k this month in the US, add to that PS3 lead in EU and JP. PS3 is leading WW like crazy these days
Seriously all Sony fan boys got something to say even in Xbox 360 article I'm sure they haven't got no game to play on ps3 and they going on Internet to say something in Xbox 360 and new Xbox articles they do make me laugh
I'm also an American and you're getting disagrees because you're making it a big deal that you are an American :)
It's cool you are patriotic like we all are, but this is an international videogame website.
There are just as much members on here that likes the Xbox that are not Americans as well, thus I can see why you're getting the disagrees. That and the fact that maybe you are slightly off topic.
OT: Congrats to the 360 for still selling strong, despite the impending announcement of the Next Xbox within the next month or so.
Dude MS is an American company and the Xbox is their product despite where it happens to be manufactured.
In fact SONY is a Japanese company and the PS3 is also manufactured in China YET the Playstation is still a product of Japan.
Get a grip bro I am from New Zealand not America and yet I dont feel the need to go all Anti American who really cares if he, she or they want to get all Patriotic it isn't like it is going to hurt you or I.
I think this is the thing the X360 has done amazing figures in the US and has been a little more mediocre elsewhere with a few exceptions.
The trouble is that even though people say this and that about SONY with a year later release managing to sell more units overall. What people forget to take into account is that if you factor in Gold Subscriptions, and profits from digital content whether it be arcade, indie, games on demand, movie rentals etc.......MS have not really needed to sell quite as many offshore to stay competitive. For a company still to show growth at this late stage in a consoles life cycle well all I can say is I tip my hat to you Microssoft awesome stuff.
Now before anyone starts the flame war that is usual with any Xbox blog/news as of late.......I think people need to stop and think for a moment. MS didn't force anyone to buy their console, no one forced anyone to pay for a subscriptions, no one forced anyone to buy DLC for stuff that sometimes already was on the disk, no one forced anyone to constantly buy annualised franchises such as Call of Duty, Assassins Creed etc, No one tied you down and beat the shyte out of you until you brought a Season Pass etc.......So please think before you jump in here blaming MS for the state of gaming or anything else along the same kind of rant. If anyone is to blame for anything it is us the consumer......so if you seriously don't like something then it is ok to have an opinion but at the end of the day rather than jumping on some forum and having a hissy fit just vote with your wallet, since that is the only way that any kind of change will come about.
I think Xbox makes most of its money from Xbox live. And those numbers are impressive considering that new consoles are lumming and with that I'm sure a price cut to the 360
Again, this is a prime reason we haven't had an official next Xbox reveal, Microsoft knows consoles start to slow down when the next version is announced, they'll also probably be forced to announce a price cut on the current 360's which means less money for them on each unit sold.
Looking forward to see what the next Xbox has to offer, congrats Microsoft on a generation played...well played indeed.
@kevnb. It is all how you spin it. Vaccines can reduce the world population by allowing parents in affected areas of having less children, but each with a greater chance of survival. Instead of having a bunch a kids just to increase the chances of at least one surviving and carrying on the family lineage, parents can confidently have less. THUS reducing the worlds population.
@Kevnb Insult the man personally all you like but do NOT insult how much he has givin the world you ignorant POS! He has given more away a day than you will ever make in a lifetime. He does this to help the world. What have you done with your shithole of a life?
@kev hey guess what we are all full of shit inside
@mw kind and lucky lol, tell that to all the homeless and beggers I see daily at street lights..lol picture bill gate telling the limo driver hey stop give the homeless guys a dollar
Great numbers no doubt but what I find funny is microsoft is always quick to answer any npd sales but take their sweet time to debunk rumours that are hurting them. Besides that good job on them in america.
Bud they have nothing to debunk as all the negative rants all over the internet etc are ALL based on rumors and speculation NOT FACTS!!!! and to say that it is actually hurting them I think is a little overdramatic......
In some ways all this publicity could have a positive spin. Given that most of what is pure gossip with no substance, you know we have heard it all by now....Credible Source, Industry Insider, Industry Analyst states this and states that but has nothing concrete to give their claims any real sence of credibility.
So MS dont have much to do but be even slightly better than what has been all over the internet and most consumers will be ohhhhhhh that aint so bad yip I guess I might get the next xbox after all
Well it has been hurting them. People I know who own a 360 arent really considering buying the next one not because of these rumours but the lack of new ip's & support from microsoft. I myself couldn't care how many consoles these corporations sell aslong as they give me games that I love playing thats all that really matters.
akatsukipain....what LACK OF IP'S...they havent announced anything yet...an all sony did was announce sequals to IP's they already have...just like people are sick of halo an gears..people are sick of KZ aswell...lets just wait an SEE what MS announce before you claim no games or support...an ALL MY FRIENDS are super excited because THEY KNOW a new xbox is coming..
"Americaa! [email protected] yeah!! Here to save the mother [email protected] day!!" Lol these comments remind me of Team America movie. Congrats to MS, not bad for a console with no bluray, emotion engine cell chip, or free on line just a fun console to have.
