If Vgchartz is to be believed today (most likely it will be today). It looks like the PS3 and PS Vita actually increased this week. The 360 stayed flat with no increase and the 3DS decreased. Can't wait to see their Europe and global numbers this week.

Edit: Does anyone know what day Sony releases it's fiscal reports for their gaming devices?

it's in March but i'm not sure of the exact date.

edit: did you notice that in the worldwide figures the PS3 outsold the 360 again but that gap that was below 2 million has now grown to 2 million again? by their own figures they both suggest the PS3 outsold the 360 AND by their own figures they suggest the 360 outsold the PS3!

but like i've been saying all along, this is really the only source we have ... and to be honest, they're never that far off when the official figures are released

@ Dante well said.

I wonder wheres LX-General-Kaos to comment on this.
mobhit  +   387d ago
Very interesting numbers.
Dante112  +   387d ago
@ mobhit

Real talk. If the PS3 numbers are continuing to increase like this in the US, MS may have to do a price cut. But I'm not even that sure about that since Motorola have recently won their patent case (Xbox360 used patents illegally) with MS. It quite possible that MS may have their shipments halted in the US soon (to pressure MS, think what happened to Sony while they were in their case). It's also a possibility that MS will have to pay 4 billion if the judges don't see it their way after their review. So I don't think MS will risk it.

@ Gribble

Yeah, that's pretty weird how VGchartz has that.

@Dante112
Lol yeah right. Microsoft's numbers are still higher than the PS3's by a good 10-20k a week. If a price drop happens, it's not going to be because of the PS3. In fact, the 360 outsold the PS3 for a good 14-16(?) months worldwide, and is possibly still on a roll.

Regarding Motorola and Microsoft, I can guarantee you Microsoft is not going to let the 360 shipments halt in the USA. Microsoft as a whole is worth more than Sony and Motorola combined.

The 360 has seven games in the top 10 last week in the U.S.

and i thought, after reading all the "ínformed comments" from the non-biased n4g members that the 360 has no games... go figure.

and I know its vcharts, but if all of you fanboys use it to justify sony world wide sales dominance, then its fair game to use it for this. no double standards please.

Hey there turbo, slow your roll bud.

no one is doubting the 360 sales in the Us or Uk. They almost always are in full favor of Microsoft. Its good to see Witcher getting some love. Its a great game. It's kind of sad to see the big sellers are still COD and dance games though.
Mikhail  +   387d ago
The dance games are fun if you have people in your house. I think that's the best games for kinect.

I expected higher sales from Witcher 2. But I think many bought the PC version. I personally did not buy the 360 version because of that reason.
Outside_ofthe_Box  +   387d ago
Well, when people say the "360 has no games" they mean exclusives. But yeah the 360 does in fact have 7 games in the top ten in the US this week according to vgchartz which is very solid, but not unexpected as this is US numbers.
neutralgamer19  +   387d ago
Directed turbo......

Hellooooooo when ppl talk about xbox not having games they talk about exclusive quality games. Compared to Sony (who literally announces one every two months) they dont. Out of all those games most are multi plats which all systems have. Witcher 2 seems to be a good quality exclusive for the xbox but is on pc too so isnt an all around exclusive but a console exclusive.

Kinect games we wont even get into lol because if you want to count those abominations as quality xbox exclusives thats laughable at best. Star wars is up there and we all know what that game has to offer jajajajaja

So buddy next time you mention what fanboys say they dont say xbox doesnt have any games (bcus they have the same games every other system has) they are referring to quality exclusives which on that system are far and few.
Pekolie  +   387d ago
I Lola's at your last paragraph. Go into old vgchartz articles and look at the comments section they do the exact opposite of what you say they do... This weeks been relatively troll free in the comments.
neutralgamer19  +   387d ago
sorry my comment was directed to dread ( i dont know why it says turbo)
Siren30  +   387d ago
Only ps3 game in the top 10 is mw3, while the top 360 game is a rpg. I thought you guys said you like games other than shooters. Maybe you should spend less time on the internet talking about how great the ps3 and its games are and go out and actually buy them
Wintersun616  +   387d ago
You talk as if N4G visitors are a good example of the average gamers of USA. News flash, we're not.
mobhit  +   387d ago
Maybe you should go play games yourself instead of worrying about PS3 fans.

Good Job MS
neutralgamer19  +   387d ago
Lol wow siren your good. How about this go check Uncharted, GOW, LBP, Gran Turismo series, KZ amongst others numbers and im pretty sure they all sold in the millions then come and talk to me. Your response was so weak its amazing. Wow the xbox got a new semi exclusive game finally!!!!! When exclusives are far and few you better hope they sell. Too many games for me to buy on the ps3 but ill tell you one thing i bet you i have GOW, UC, LBP, Gran Turismo, Resistance in my staple how bout you lol hahahahahaha oh yeah Star wars!!!! greattttt!!!! Pppl keep promoting crap and crap will come right back.
Siren30  +   387d ago
Your pretty sure those all sold into the millions. I guess thats proof enough to me. I forget fanboys have the offical numbers while places like vgchartz that get paid are only made up numbers
ironmonkey  +   387d ago
I think the vita is selling because Skype is finally added and people can use that on the go. Works way better than the cell phone versions.
GynGa  +   387d ago
Well. Skype was released yesterday (two days ago in US), while these charts are from the last week. So I think your theory is wrong.
ExgamerLegends  +   387d ago
That's unusual.
