SOny is goin to be seein big sales this year...and next..the 360 will just continue to die..lol

[N4Gworks4Sony]

the 360 is selling faster than the ps3, count the 'clicks' "read it and weap"
http://www.nexgenwars.com/
those are the real numbers,vgcharts is wrong

[Panthers]

Enjoy the 360 lead while it lasts...

And I dont see how anyone can trust nextgenwars

[360Sheep]

ahahahahaahahahaha... n4gworks3sony actually think every time the counter goes up on nextgenwars.. it means that a unit was sold.. ahahahaa.. yeah thats right, every cash register in the world is linked up to the nextgetwars site and when a 360 is sold, it updates the website.. ahahahah kids are too funny

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

Some times you could see the numbers DECREASING in nextgenwars... I think what could that be? More a 360 with RROD?

Sorry... I really have to... Couldn't control.

May I do a "NextGenWarsWorks4MS" ; user? No, I think it would be too stupid... Who would think something THAT stupid?

[Rageanitus]

Ill enjoy it while it lasts.......... till the next gen :)

the ps3 is actually doing quite well for an "expensive" conosle. Plus they have competition from all fronts including their ps2

And for a product that has a few games at the moment, I would say its doing quite fine.

[KnowitAll]

Hahahahahhahahahahahahhaahha he actually things nextgenwars are the real numbers!!hahahahahahhahahahaha hhahahahahahahahhahahahahahhaha haha hahahahhaahhah Weres the comparasing? How many more xbox360 were sold this month than ps3? Nexgen is just a stupid site with extimates or counters. They get the credit from the companies(which is bull just to make themselves look good). For example if Nintendo said they sold 20 million wiis this year nexgen would believe that(its how stupid that guy is).

Don't forget its his extimates too. I can also make a site and put Xbox 360 10-11 mill Wii 9-10 mill Ps3 3.5-4.5 mill. But if I like a system better I would offcourse make it look better.
Wii-9.5 mill
Xbox-10.5 mil
Ps3-4mill
DS- 1 Trillion

Anyways was that a joke man? it has to be a joke? its a joke right?

............joke?

[360Sheep]

haha woohoo... with no games, can't imagine the sales when we actually get a good game, sweet.

[supnub5]

can you not be fanboy, let everybody enjoy.Plus, MS couldn't take losing sony for a month and made a price cut, haha, now they're doing me-too strategy.stupid.

[ReBurn]

A Microsoft price cut is less of a "me-too" strategy than it is a necessary price cut for hardware that's nearly two years old. Although I doubt you see sales increases for 360 like you did for PS3 until Halo 3 is released, and a lot of them will come from that really ugly Halo-edition box.

People can disparage Halo 3 all they want to, but that game is going to move systems. It will move more systems for Microsoft than any single title released this year will move systems for Sony.

[supnub5]

but, how do you come out like 2.2 0r 2.3,well you get me.

[Mr_Kuwabara]

By replying to ones topic. Like I did to yours.

[V2oom]

Dont abuse Power of Green and then come out with possibly the dumbest question i have ever read.

[power of Green]

I mean come on the 360 is days away fron its own real Price drop with the most wanted games in the industry on the way. Its not logical?.

Price and software are the thing the average consumer cares about not the status of Consoles lol.

The average person looks at the popular games.

80 gigs vs 120 gigs thats the selling point! both consoles can use after market extra's of sorts"(PS3 after market HDD's and 360's PC capabilities to use PC HDD's etc.) But the superficial selling points are not in Sony's favor. Trust me this PS3 clearance BULLSHIT will be an after thought at the end of this month.

Sony has already used up its leverage in 8 months normally used with Companies in a quarter to half a generation. You're welcome to check my post history and see how off i'v been in my predictions. lol

[Bazookajoe_83]

Little billy thompson 12 years old who lives down in texas?

Does The 360 have any exclusives? I mean real ones, thats not coming to pc?

[Kyur4ThePain]

"Price and software are the thing"
then
"80 gigs vs 120 gigs thats the selling point!"
which is neither price related or software related.
Which is it? Price? Software? Hardware?

"both consoles can use after market extra's of sorts"(PS3 after market HDD's and 360's PC capabilities to use PC HDD's etc"

I must say, you did a worthy sidestep there...almost types yourself into corner once you realized there isn't really such a thing as an after market 360 HDD, just the one MS rapes your wallet with.

"But the superficial selling points are not in Sony's favor"

I have to agree with you on that one...the superficial advantages lie with the 360. The PS3's advantages are much deeper and much more useful.

[Eagle Eye]

I dont understand your point. Most computers use Microsoft Windows.
Why would MS not wanna release some of its games to the PC platform?
And Mass Effect,Blue Dragon,Eternal Sonata, and Lost Odyssey are some exclusives only for the 360. Their I named a few for you. Happy now?

[riqued]

The only two games I REALLY wanted on the 360 was Gears of Wars and Mass Effect.

I don't have a Xbox, but I can play Gears of War on a computer, and Mass Effect has some chance to come to PC too... So why would I buy an Xbox now?

I can have the PS3's amazing exclusives, and some of the Xbox "exclusives" too.

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

Only in North Amercia. And in Japan and Europe PS3 has been outselling 360 even without a price drop.

[360Crusader]

Why should you buy a 360? Well hey if you dont really like any of their games then dont. You talk about PS3 amazing exclusives. Dont you like rpg's well I guess not. But the 360 is putting alot of hard work in that field. And I think they should be commended.

But hey if you dont like them types of games. Then their nothing anyone can say to convince you other wise. But I think the 360 got some great rpg's ( exclusive rpg's for the 360 ) coming out. And thats my favorite type of games. So I'll stick with my rpg's.

And another great rpg Mass Effect may come to the PC. ( MAYBE ) But I guess you can hope. But I'll be playing it on launch.

[DEADEND]

im sick as hell of all these MS fanboys talking sh*t about the PS3, no matter how while the PS3 is doing. i guess theyre just pissed that all they can do is trash talk while they wait till theyre system comes back in the mail cause it got the ring of death.

[Evoluti0n]

I'm sick as hell of all these Sony fanboys talking sh*t about the 360, no matter how well the 360 is doing. I guess they're just pissed that all they can do is trash talk while they wait till they're system gets some games that are worthy of paying 500 for.

EDIT: Go ahead, disagree and don't say why, be my guest.

[bee2427]

im not one that disagreed with you, but i dont see thaat many sony heads ripping on the 360 besides the whole failier rate problem, but no1z even said anything about that in weeks

[Evoluti0n]

I see it at least once a day, seriously man, at least.

[ReBurn]

Just look a few posts up to see a RROD reference. As in the very post we are replying to.

[supaet]

all I can say is...

wait for npd for NA data.

the japanese data is accurate.

the other parts of the world data you can pretty much ignore it, it's totally baseless especially except for the UK and aus numbers maybe...

[FordGTGuy]

I'm crying..............

[hotshot1237]

i think its all downhill 4 microsoft. sure they will have there mass effect but ps3 has 2 many tripple a titles coming and if HOT SHOTS moved sales dramatically. imagine mgs4 and ff13. but anyway. i think its safe 2 say that by 2009, sony will be in the lead and by the summer of 2008 sony will probably be neck and neck with xbox. bcuz think about it. xbox will sell systems with halo and then when more systems break. just like what is already happening, some people will convert 2 ps3. even if its alittle bit of people everytime, it will add up 2 be alot. and i wonder how many of those 11 million 360's that were sold actually work? or how many of them r not just 2 in the same house. bcuz i know a few people that actually have 2 of them so what do u guys think?

[ReBurn]

I think a few of your assumptions are invalid. Many gamers aren't going to convert from Xbox to PS3. Some will, but many gamers already have both systems and will continue to support both. It isn't a one or the other game for many of us.

Maybe it is a little premature to look beyond Spring 2008 to decide who is going to be in the lead. The way I see it, the Xbox has a lock on 2007. There's no way Sony's installed base is going to pass Microsoft's this year, and in my opinion Xbox has the better holiday lineup.

Many of the best PS3 games are releasing in the Spring. I think that after the holidays the PS3 is really going to pick up and give the 360 a run for its money. Personally, as owner of all three new consoles this generation, I want to see them all succeed.

[soccerstar]

ps3 and 360 fanboys need to stop arguing and work together to take down the wii cuz its dominating and i hate the wii

[heroman711]

that is exatcly what ive been thinking

[Omicronn]

hehe your right. Wii is the monster everyone can complain isnt "nex-gen" yet its taking away lots of people who would have been buying the ps3/360
along with its "casual never cared for consoles" crowd

[bee2427]

there are too many kids in the world to take down the wii!! i hate kids

[Loudninja]

No doubt the PS3 sold well in June, but I wait fro NPD.

[outlawauron]

VgChartz compared their June numbers to the NPD numbers .....

They were really freaking close.....

Link: http://www.vgchartz.com/new...

[360Sheep]

oh right theres the story, ok everyone, remember vg charts is crap, it looks like you have to add 14% to the ps3 numbers and subtract 7% from the 360's... haahahahaa too funny

[truebego]

Nice move by Sony

[V2oom]

The Sony had better grasp hold of their trousers because HALO 3, and bioshock coupled with a price drop are going to rape them

[masterg]

That might be true.

But Lair, Heavenly Sword, Ratchet & Clank, Uncharted, WarHawk, U3T, Haze are gonna gangbang the 360.

[ReBurn]

But I doubt that all of those titles you listed, combined, are going to move more systems than Halo 3.

[MikeGdaGod]

i think its probable that those games will sell more ps3's than halo will for the 360 because most people that want to play halo already bought the system.

[Eagle Eye]

Looks like the PS3 won July. Hmmm still the 360 didn't do bad.
360 price cut hasn't kicked in yet.
I think August will be a fairer assessment. And whats up with the game list? Why bother someone could do the same for the 360, it proves nothing.

And to those that think the 360 is dead remember its been selling consoles a year longer then the PS3. I should hope the PS3 would sell more. Especially since its a good quality product. That has just received a price cut.

[supnub5]

i had a report, that told me to capitalize on ps3.

[masterg]

The 360 actually did horrible. Look at the numbers outside the US. They are brutal.

[360Crusader]

What difference does it make? A sale a sale is it not?
And besides the 360 still won the U.K. and Australia. ( over the PS3 )
So your clearly in denial.

[djt23]

RE masterg i know
it look like people hate the xbox 360 outside of US
japan 23257
other 5464
lol compare to the ps3 and other system that just sad

[paracardium]

Next gen wars is way out to lunch on their figures and Sony will be a force to wreckon with in the coming months.

[hotshot1237]

from sony and microsoft. i wouldnt be surprised if wii won this gen with sales since its sooo cheap. and now that there making profit off of every system they sell, they could even do a price drop again. wii is just too cheap compared 2 the other systems. so i probably wouldnt even worry about the wii. also bcuz the wii's games r so different from ps3 and xbox games that i know it wont effect developers decisions to port something exclusive 2 the wii that could have been 4 the 360 or ps3. so wii wont really get in the way of ps3 or xbox

[CrazzyMan]

i really wonder, how many people will buy ps3 60GB with 100$ price cut, than ps3 80GB bundle with motorstorm without price cut, then ps3 80GB alone with rumbling controller and probably also price cut.

then, i wonder, how many people will buy now premium at 50$ even knowing, that this console is really unreliable. Will price make people buy unreliable console..
then, to those who know about falcon, will they wait for new SKU, and not buy old x360 even with 50$ price cut.

then again, at 300$ price, falcon 20GB premium with HDMI, how many gamers will ignore that system, if it will be less noisy, won`t have RROD and will have improved cooler system?
i definately won`t. =)

i know, that ps3 will be better, well atleast in graphics and won`t have problem with space, but some games i play not for graphics, so to my opinion, after falcon, M$ is going to get their part of console market pie.

but still, i wonder what numbers there will be. :)
the future is so unpredictable... =]

[HaKeRsCanRotINHEL]

Slow and steady wins the race! ;D

[supnub5]

needs a big recount which was mentioned in march,and yet none of vgchartz.com types of websites recounted,look, 3-10percent of broken 360's got replaced, and in the system it counted as a new one!!lol,so the real number of 360's sold is between8-9m, not 10, hell no.

[360Sheep]

cmon everyone, you remember all the posts about vgcharts being crap.. they even did a side by side comparison with the NPD numbers, and it turns out that vgcharts was way off. It seems that when looking at the numbers sold on vgcharts, you must add 5% of the total onto the ps3 numbers and subtract 8% from the 360's total.. Cmon guys, get your act together, vgcharts in unreliable, you must add onto the ps3 numbers and subtract from the 360s numbers, geez.

and whadaya know, here is the story.. read it and weap

http://www.vgchartz.com/new...

[outlawauron]

Even the NPD has a ~10% margin of error.

[Bloodmask]

to spike sales for PS3.

That is good bc all consoles need some competition to keep developers on their toes.

I was suprised to see 360 selling in Australia. I thought that Australia was a PS3 dominated area.

[hotshot1237]

i really dont think 11 million or 10million or w/e it is was REALLY sold.
bcuz people really have 2 360's in there house and some people have one but didnt get warranty so are screwed. what i want to know is how many were sold THAT WORK AND ARE IN SEPERATE HOUSES. i really do wonder.
SUBNUM i just read ur comment again. and i didnt realize that replaced 360's counted as new ones. where did u hear that from bcuz if thats true then ps3 is only about 3 million behind. omg thats crazy

[supnub5]

it's a last gen console, compare it to ps2, plus let's how well will wii do, when ps2 with waggle, will come out, please sony don't call it a pii.
edit:bubbles please, cdzie1 you are stupid xbot, come on right there's no games retard, 360 was at same rate in july 06, and it had some games, and remember there is gears of war, let's at holiday season rate, how long it'll take ps3 to catch up with 360
edit:why the hell do i want to post this.

[cdzie1]

Sony PS3 outsold Xbox 360 by a little less than 50,000 units in July. At this rate, it would take PS3 over eight years to catch up to Microsoft's Xbox 360.

You can disagree all you want, but that is the math.

[360Sheep]

clearly someone did not learn exponential growth...

[Premonition]

Theres something wrong with your math, you cant tell future sales. There for your calculations will always be wrong.

EDIT: whatever makes your day happy.

[mikeslemonade]

Business isn't math, it's Economics.

[cdzie1]

The math is the math, I didn't make it up! Sony has to prove they can beat Xbox for more than one month (the month they dropped the price!).

So let me ask you a question: Microsoft dropped the price of the HD DVD drive and sales went up 1333% on Amazon. Is anyone claiming victory for HD DVD? No, they have to prove it for a few months. Same with PS3, prove it for a few months and then I’ll start believing.

[masterg]

You're forgetting one thing.
This is the absolute worst time of the year to sell a system.
There has not be a new exclusive since the Euro launch.

Yet the PS3 sold 135k more world wide. (not 50k)

The exclusive games are so close I can taste them.
That's where the real sales are.

[Lumbo]

Hmm, Math ... lets see (all according to the source for this news article)

PS3 July total: 374290
360 July total: 239571

Math according to cdzie1: "Sony PS3 outsold Xbox 360 by a little less than 50,000 units in July"

374290 - 239571 = 50000

Hmmm, i don't think this equation solves that way ..

Lets try again:

374290 - 239571 = 134719

Ahh, strange as it is that seems to compile much better. Sorry cdzie1, you should really attend simple math classes, soon.

[hotshot1237]

while 360 sold 11 million world wide in 1 year and 8 months(not even mentioning the doubles that people have in there homes and the ones that dont work) but anyway. if ps3 already sold more then half of what 360 sold in 8 months. and the big titles r not out and the price is still high. do u REALLY THINK THAT THE RATE WILL STAY THE SAME? u can argue all u want to. but its the truth. 360 is not selling anywhere near as good as people think when u actually do the math.

CDZIE1. ok 360 still cost around the same as ps3 bcuz only a fool would buy it without the warranty. and if u said u will believe once u see it 4 a few months. 360 will only have september and october and after that its a wrap. xbox is doin pretty good in U.S and thats it. people act like U.S is the only country that exists. ps3 is selling well world wide. and sure halo will sell well in U.S but in JAPAN-4get it.lol. AND PS3 HAS SO MANY DIVERSE GAMES 2 APPLY TO MANY COUNTRYS. just wait and u will see that ps3 after 2008 will dominate the rest of the next gen race. call me crazy but U WILL SEE.

@power of green. funny how u know that xbox has the most wanted games bcuz the last time i checked on poll list,it said ps3 had the most wanted list. and by the way, sure SOME 360 games look better but clearly people hate 2 admit that ps3 has only been 8 months and needs time 2 develop for. lets see what happens when people start seeing what games r possible when it becomes easier 2 develop 4. if the 360 games look better next year then w/e. i'll admit it. but until then. im no believer. and once blu ray gets promoted more. people that like movies will get a cheap blu ray player and that will also help ps3 sales.

[power of Green]

Almost like saying PS3 will crush the 360 because of the US launch and the European launch numbers.

A temporary clearance cut will not sustain numbers beating Line-ups and real price cuts when the PS3 price-cut won't even be in effect when we start seeing the effects of the 360 price-cut.

With some of the most wanted games in history!; on top of multi platfrom games for the 360 being known as better versions reaching the street its a no brainer(average consumers look at games like Madden and even the most casual consumers/gamers will become fanboys when it comes to games like that.

These people(console owners that don't play games but do buy console for games that have cultural counterparts) will look at games and choooooooose the best option regardless of platform Allegiance. Its not fanboyism its logic these comapnies depend on.

Good Night and Good Luck.

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

your fanboyness is showing. Stop being a moron. Keep kidding yourself with your (temporary clearance) bullcrap. Sony knows it needs a price drop to compete with XBOX 360. The price will only come lower. So STFU you stupid sore ass fanboy.

You think Sony is just gonna sit back and watch XBOX 360 dominate all the sales? So they can go out of business? It's what you wish, but it's not gonna happen.

This asshole keeps on crying in this post, he thinks PS3 is gonna go back up to $600 and Microsft is going down to $300 and that Sony is that stupid and just watch XBOX 360 take over the sales. He thinks just because PS3 was off to a bad start that they are gonna keep making the same mistakes. Like the months when they were selling 80k didn't teach them anything.

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

If they just sit back during the holiday and watch the way cheaper XBOX 360 get all the sales, then I would glady get a sledge hammer and trash my PS3 myself.

XBOX 360 fanboys had the market to themselfs for a whole year and it spoiled them or something.

[techie]

Nice theory - but this favours the 360 how exactly? And why does it matter to you?

[MarioFromTexas]

Sony controls the price advantage, even while only selling 5.5 million units as stated at their conference..you have to remember that the PS2 is still out selling the 360. Sooner or later Sony is going to match price with the 360, how will the 360 compare with features with the PS3, if you a new consumer and see that beautiful black shiny box, with BDDVD, 80GB, wifi, card reader, free online...even the most xbox fanboy has to come to realization that the 360 doesn't stand a chance of winning this generation. I bought a dreamcast and the 360 reminds me of it alot, great games but the PS brand keeps coming and coming. In the history of gaming there has never been a company so dominating and so world wide accepted, even NES doesn't compare to the success of the PS brand.

[mikeslemonade]

AHA i was correct when I said PS3 would outsell 360 by atleast 1.5x times. It's actually 1.56x, but close enough. Also PS3 hasn't dropped price elseware except in North America recently. PS3 was $600 for 9 days of the month and was also supply constrained for atleast a few days on average every where in the month. I expect to see PS3 to have even better sales next month and the 360 with the price drop that will bring them closer to PS3, but 360's price cut is too late to have the lead back in August. 360 fans can wait until September when Halo 3 is released, but on the other hand it's going to get delayed just like any other game would.

[Premonition]

You so called fanboys dont see the big picture, this is what the truth really is like or not. If its indeed true PS3 is selling overall well in EU than 360, and is already selling well in Japan than the 360, all the 360 really has is the US, and when it comes down to the wire, if 360 cant take over Japan or EU then its going to be one heck of a ride.

EDIT: 1 person in denial disagreed, whos next?

[Bill Gates]

"Hardware sales breakdown"....

More like "More 3FixMe Hardware breakdowns"....AHAHAHHAHH AHAHAA

[trueltie5]

I'll bet you one thing...I can assure more consumers not just North America but worldwide are waiting to get a PS3 than a 360....the xbox has hit it's peak, I GUARANTEE IT...Not even Halo 3,4,5,6,7,8...can spur sales of the 360 now....they got out the gates to fast and now they won't be able to finish the race even. It's OVER for the 360...A 360 price drop ????Puhhhhlease

[DiLeCtioN]

man the wii is killing it dam...ps3 is stepping up good stuff

[power of Green]

360 will break! PS3 for ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!mua hahahahaha. I hate the 360 I hate MS! fucin XBOTZZZZZZZZZz. PS3 has the right to be on top the pedigree legacy of PlayStation Has the right to be king by Bloold. RROD!, RED RINGS OF DEATH!!! go back to America Xbot! we don't want your kind here...OK NOw, Good Night and Good Luck.

[timmyp53]

..again

[cmrbe]

Its getting tiring eh?. I for one am getting sick of it as well. Just understand that probably most of those comments are from young people on this site.

[achira]

you should not take it to serious, life is not only xbox360.

[risk]

@above

exactly im surprised microsoft doesnt have xbox720 out already...considering most of their operating systems dont last more then 3-4 years (look @ vista being replaced by a new OS in 2010) its a suprise xp lasted for 6.

[GoLeafsGo]

After what...8 months?

Nexgenwars is a joke, by the way.
If you don't believe me, go to the site, look at the figures (and write them down somewhere), then refresh 5 minutes later, and jot 'em down again, and do it a third time after another 5 minutes.
You'll see the numbers going up, by a somewhat constant value for each console. Trust me, you'll easily find the pattern.
Moreover, you can CLEARLY tell it's fake because:
a) NO retailer provides data everyday, every 5 minutes or so.
b) There is NO way some idiot is updating the site 24 hours a day, each time a couple of minutes later, all the while supposedly getting the data from the retailers.

Stick to NDP, or VGCharts, at worst.

[power of Green]

I agree!; you could aways use the Ignor feature. I recommend it to everybody, it saves this site from many headaches I offer it as an sulution in amost every post i make when people have a complaint with no logical repley to my posts its good for all members on this site enhancing the quality of this site.

[AllroundGamer]

omg you are so pathetic... and you've got only 33 ignores, congratz :D

Edit: oh Razer you got me there, i have PS3/Wii/Xbox360 combo so yeah, i must be Sony boy :D btw. according to your comments, you must be a die hard MS fan, am i right?

[razer]

Oh yeah PoG is the one with the problem huh? Take a look at the endless lists of douchebags who post nothing but 360 hate with no logical reasoning. At least PoG makes commments that are grounded in reality.. You insult him because he supports the console you obviously don't like.

AllroundGamer my ass you're comment history shows otherwise Sony boy.

[Bloodmask]

My Xbot sense is tingling......

And it tells me you are a liar and hate every system but PS3.

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

Well more numbers and nothing to say on that... Just two things that I think that people are talking too much in the comments letely, but don't look that logical...

First. This temporary price cut for PS3 thing... Wake up. If the BUNDLE costs 600$, most like the 80GB alone will cost at least 549$, most probably 499$ as soon as they put this no-motorstorm version on the market, cause Sony need sells.

Second. Halo can move consoles. Yes. But not THAT much. Halo 3 will make money in games, indeed, lot money, but will not sell many consoles. Halo 2 already sell those Xbox360 that you are waiting Halo 3 to sell. And even those that this game will sell, most likely it will be for fans of the series, that would anyway buy the 360, so it's not like is affecting Sony numbers anyway... This is the same guys that wasn't with Sony on the last-gen... And I'm sorry to tell that to you folks, but those once-PS2-owners don't give a sh!t to Halo... What hurt Sony's numbers is that people that sided with MS for games that was on Sony consoles, or new games on 360 that take the ex-PS2-owner attention (Mass Efect, Blue Dragon, etc)

[Amplifier]

Let the games begin, folks!

We are in for one of the best holidays in a LONG time!

Amp

[JIN KAZAMA]

afraid of Aids??

[heroman711]

everyone should stop with the fanboyism

[achira]

awesome two disagrees ? some ppl here are psychopats.

[mcgrawgamer]

let's see if can add some fuel to this fire:
1. the ps3 price cut made a difference (for july at least)
2. price does not equal winner. ( the original xbox got a price cut first over the ps2 and was still beat by the huge lead the ps2 had over it)
3. with all the focus on msoft and sony. nintendo is sitting back racking in the dough and don't think they've counted out the harcore fans just yet.
4. we are still early in this current gen to declare a winner

LOL!!! can someone tell me how I got a disagree?

[BIadestarX]

I think PS3 numbers are too low... better but too low. maybe next month's numbers will be better... I was under the impression that the PS3 sold at least 1.5 Mil consoles since the price drop. at least.. that how lots of articles made it seem.. with the "PS3 sells increase 545,324,345%" news.. from amazon and many other retail stores..

Anyways.. kudos for Sony.. they installbase gap is not growing larger.. at least for this month..

[cmrbe]

The price drop and the good showing at E3 has spurred on sales of the PS3 which also impacted the sales of the X360 which lately had a couple of bad publicity especially the failure rates. However i am pretty sure X360 will be back especially with the Halo and co releasing this holiday season. I am sure the PS3 will be up there as well but X360 will come out tops(well second to wii) this holiday season. In the end its the games that drives sales. You guys must always remember this. When it comes to gamers. The first and the most important thing is GAMES. System reliability and extra features although is important is secondary to games. In the end i still believe X360 will be a close third to PS3 with wii on top which is proving to be the DS for the home console this generation.

[Whoooop]

Competition is getting healthier by the minute..

The PS3 is still selling like hotcakes and games aren't even here yet.

I don't think the PS3 sales will go as down as they were a while back.. SONY is in a good position right now and they can afford to play with strategies to keep sales good..

after E3 they just grab that momentum and they are not willing to let it go.

You see it in timed exclusive deals (which are always a plus), you saw it also in the price cut, new sku with bundle, negotiating new exclusives IP's..

They learned from most of their mistakes and this time around they won't loose the ball.

I just hope they keep the good work on first party tittles and more interesting firmware updates.. "ohh and more demos please".

[Anything but Cute]

(selling like hotcakes). I know people try to be cool but that's not a good one. So cheesy and over used.

[Whoooop]

how bout

selling like condoms since the 2000?

[MrWegman]

Why do people take this personal... who cares? I am enjoying the 360 and wii right now and eventually I will buy the PS3... I don't see why anyone would not want all three systems (especially the people that take the time to post messages at a gaming site)... I find it funny when I hear people defending one console or the other... let the big companies worry about the numbers because all that will do is force them to work harder- one up each other- It is a good time to be a gamer.

[razer]

and well, the Nintendo stuff is selling like crazy as usual.. It's the one console that doesn't appeal to me in the slighest so I guess I will just continue to scratch my head as Nintendo drags the technology back 5 years so they can get grandma and 4yo's playing games..

These numbers mean sh*t to me anyway.. I'm just happy to be gaming.

Jump In, Play B3yond, Kick a fanboy in the throat!

[xg-ei8ht]

But hotcakes do sell well:)

Anywayz, Every xbox fan keeps going on about mass effect. I've watched plenty of hd vids, and honestly cannot see what the fuss is about, it looks like it uses halo2 engine, looks like halo, and quite frankly looks crap, and boring.

I wouldnt expect too much from it, tbh.

Bioshock, Don't even think that'll sell that well.

Its a taste thing. Reckon thats boring as well,lol.

And the numbers are actually ps3 sold 4.6million so far.

xbox360 sold 11million, but 10million 999thousand were replaced.:)

[razer]

Are you even a gamer?

I'd love to hear what your favorite games are and what you are looking forward too.. Some how my gut tells me they will all be Sony titles..

And don't even pull this fanboy tactic of "there are 999,000 in repair sh*t".. Sold is sold and still to this day that %33 failure rate was pulled out of some fanboys arse..

You fail.

[FirstknighT]

The playstation brand has a HUGE following so I always knew that it would sell well and possibly take the lead in total sales. Sony fanboys are the nuttiest of all people...For example...This is a post from sony fanatic Lighting...

"Do only PS3 fanboys have pride? I'm pissed off because it went multi platform. What about you XBOTS? PS3 gets it also. So it's not a signature pride game. It doesn't matter to you XBOX 360 fanboys that PS3 gets it also at the same time. It's not exclusive. This game does NOT define your console. You shouldn't be satisfied with that. Don't satisfy yourself so easily. You should want more.

Just the fact that you're getting it, that's your Pride? LOL That shows PS3 fanboys are above XBOX 360 fanboys."

As you can see, no matter what this kid will hail his playstation. He's the type of kid that LOVED Devil May Cry but HATED it after it went multiplatform. After reading a few other sony boy comments on this site, it's pretty obvious that most sony fanboys are just plain stupid.

The 360 has already proven itself a classic gaming console. It has the games to prove it. Soon to be released games Mass Effect and Bioshock are getting rave previews. Bioshock has been called "possibly the best game ever created" by EGM. Yet sony fanboys call them crap. AGAIN...just proves that sony fanboys aren't real gamers. They're just as stupid as gang bangers that live and die because of thier stupid gang color.

[xg-ei8ht]

Bioshock getting rave reviews from EGM, EXBOX360GM you mean.

lmao.

EGM,LMAO. YOUR FUNNY- I just tossed you a cookie and a midget. Try catching both.

[razer]

and 48.1 proved your point perfectly FirstknighT..

[FirstknighT]

Yes he did! HAHA!!!

I still laugh at this Lightning kid. I can't believe he's talking about "PRIDE!" Pride in your video game console. HAHA, that has to be the funniest yet sorriest thing I have ever read. Alot of stupid people on here.

[Testo]

Pots calling the kettle black?

He might talk about pride but at least he refrained from a derogatory remark.

Asses.

[Bloodmask]

There is no defending Lightning....To have pride in a games console is illogical. You should be proud of great accomplishments in life. Not bc you have PS3.

Not to mention that pride itself is a deadly sin.

And you speak of making derogatory remarks. But then you call people @sses. Just some food for thought.

[360Crusader]

Jeez yins talk like their some kind of plot going on in the US with the 360 sales. Did yins forget so quickly that the US was Nintendo territory, then Sony territory long before there was a Xbox. Yins call in MS HQ maybe, but thats only cause MS took it from them. They earned their support in this country. By beating Sony which was here a decade before MS, now thats a accomplishment is it not?
Just like Sony beat Nintendo before.

But I still think the US is a very balanced place among all 3 systems.

[texism]

Yell all you want. B!tch all you want. The Wii is raping both MS and SONY, so until that changes, I'm just going to laugh at your pathetic comments.

[zerolinkgannon]

I never could understand all the wii hate? I mean, it sells and people get mad? Huh? I guess fanboys evolved into hardcore Wii haters. Anyway, it's good to see all the companies doing good. Do I care?..Not really, those numbers arent helping me with anything in life so why care. Man I love flame wars though ::sits back eating popcorn as I watch the PS360 boys go at it::

[s8anicslayer]

glad to see the ps3 picking up momentum, that 80 gig is most likley going to be $499 also with motorstorm, god the possabilities are endless

[ElementX]

Both systems are selling. No big deal.

[atlys]

wow, what a time to be a gamer! it's good to see that the industry as a whole is healthy and robust. sony's "price cut" seems to have stimulated some additional sales, microsoft's reliability issues didn't seems to hurt them as much as many said they would, and nintendo is still just cruisin' right along. so many fanboys on both the sony and microsoft side are so quick to declare victory for they're respective consoles, but they are overlooking a few issues that need to be resolved before a winner will emerge.

1. the price points for a hdtv still needs to come down quite a way before the mass market will adopt and thus start to really invest in next-gen consoles. case in point, look at the continually strong sales figures for the ps2.

2. there needs to be a clear cut standard for what hd is. you have to do quite a bit of research anymore to buy the "right" tv. the average consumer doesn't want to deal with that hassle. until john and jane doe can just walk into any retailer and buy an hdtv without having to think about it, next-gen console sales won't be what they could be. less confusion will equal more sales.

i own a wii, 360, and one day when the price is right i'll pick up a ps3. while i don't agree with sony forcing blueray on the consumer without choice, the ps3 will still have some gaming experiences that i would not want to miss out on. it's my opinion, but with blueray i just can't shake the feeling that i'd be giving too much control to the mpaa. anyway that's a totally different issue. one thing is certain, the fanboyism needs to stop. don't hate, appreciate. why miss out on so many great gaming experiences? broaden your horizons. if you don't want to support "the other guy", i challenge you to do this; go buy a rival console and some games used. your money will go to the retailer and you might just find something you like. variety is the spice of life and besides, the games are what it's supposed to be about. support and rep the developers, not the manufacturers.

[ReBurn]

You make some really great points, and you've apparently put a lot of thought into it. This is a great time to be a gamer. Forget the single system fanboys. They're completely irrelevant. When people begin to look at the merits of each platform and make purchasing decisions based on the positives of each then we all win.

[Pika-pie]

360 PWNED in July.

But i think it will be a different picture on release of Halo 3

[360_Rules]

LMAO at least now the PS3 isn't getting beat by the GBA! Muahahhahahahahhaha!!!!!!! The 360 never got beat by the GBA so take that Sony fanboys! :D

[FLEX]

Good news for PS3.It wil be interesting to see if sales stay this way or if it will decrease or even go up.This is looking real good for Sony with all the great games that are going to be released over the next couple of months.I finaly picked up Ninja Gaiden Sigma,realy good,but difficult.

[celticlonewolf]

All this talk about next gen war can someone tell me how do you classify a winner in this contest. Is it the most systems sold? Is it the most fun gaming experiance. Is it the best increase from previouse gen. Its seems to me that what some of us might classify as a win in the so called next gen war the actualy company might have a complete diffrent look at it. Lets just take one example with sony lets say they at the end of the ps3 life span(i mean this as when they bring out a new gaming machine not when they stop production) have sold more ps3 than the 360 people will say that sony won the war right. Well it might not be quiet that simple I mean deep down most people expect sony to sell more systems by the end but what if the cap between the 360 install base and the ps3 is much smaller than that of the ps2 and xbox could ms not claim a victory???? You see where Im coming from. Lets not get started on how the wii is doing so much better than the game cube. What Im getting at is there is no next gen war happening like some people think or that this war as people call it is fought very diffrent with no clear winners. The real winners are(and this has been said a 100 times) is the gamers I mean just look at the games we can play and will be playing down the road. Take the time and just take a look at the jump that has happend with this gen. Lastly think if the ps3 is a little prisy get a 360 and play some really good games till the ps3 comes down in prise and get it and play somemore good games. If you are worried about the 360 issues wiat until the falcon hits along with a nother prise cut and then get it while you wait play some good games on your ps3. Keep gaming(wow that was long lol)

[DJ]

This will probably be a permanent trend now that high-end PS3 titles are coming out every two weeks, in addition to the amazing footage shown at E3 of future PS3 titles coming out this winter and next spring.

[aahenry]

Lets not forget that Microsoft is new to the console gaming world compared to Sony and Nintendo. I am very impressed that they are doing so well for being the new guys. They may not win this gen in total number units sold, but they have gathered a huge fan base. Sony and Nintendo should be very worried.

[aquaviva71]
