Ah Ps3 isn't dominating japan it's just selling better in comparison of xbox 360. Ds is the one whose dominating japan. But ps3 sales are improving week by week we will see in november on how much the 40gb model can sell.
$399 40GB comes out this Friday so we'll have to see the effects of that. I think that sku will provide a good enough boost that lasts till the big releases in 2008.
You also have to factor in the Blu-ray effect. They just started their new marketing push.
They are lame. Post the news when NPD Charts come, since they include more retailers. VGchartz has been known to "inflate" numbers for hits to their sites with stupid headlines:
Watch next week's headline, PS3 Rise, 360 fall, DS owns ALL.
November: PS3 Falls, 360 rises from the grave, DS Is slayed by PSP titles.
VGCHarts inflates actually numbers and no fanboys from Wii/360/ps3 should take them seriously. Then again fanboys fight over the stupidiest sh** like comparing graphics to from a Demo vs. a actual game.
There is nothing neg to say about the site but when the 360 has positive numbers then VGC is a heck site. Also to Sheme...if you think the PS3 is going to sell TWICE what it has sold over the past year you are a dreamer or a crack head.
Looks like the 40gb is doing very good. THe ps3 is picking up steam. But wowo look at how the wii is dominating its amazing! Nintendo will probably go strong until next year. Ps3 has to much heavy hitters coming out next year so i dont see the wii dominating for a long time.
November will be the most interesting month for hardware sales.
PS3 has the price drop, 40GB version, ceramic white, and a bunch of games out or coming out that month. Wii has Mario Galaxy coming out. 360 has its own price drop, arcade, and mass effect.
I think in Japan PS3 is going to tie with Wii for November, since everyone who wants Mario Galaxy probably got a Wii already, with the 360 following behind by a tenth. In the states, 360 and Wii are going to tie out, with the PS3 being a third of their sales In Europe, PS3 and Wii are also going to tie, with the 360 following behind by a third.
The PS3 has been dominating EU since it launched back in March...
The USA might all but be lost.??..and as far as I can tell when it's all said and done the 360 shall be last in the USA and just about everywhere else around the world...
so what happened to the HALO effect..?..OHH YEAH IT WAS JUST AN ILLUSION..!!
1.) Its obvious from your posts that you side with the PS3. 2.) What exactly has the PS3 dominated since March In EU besides last place??? Before you answer that remember anybody can go to the sales charts for EU and look on a weekly basis. Know your facts before you spread FUD. 3.) Last time I checked 360 was first in the US with an almost 6 million lead on the PS3, and was still in front of the Wii. How do you suppose this will change? Let me guess the PS3 will magically sell out anf the 360 wont sell anymore. You fail. 4.) Crap on Halo 3 all you want but it has single handedly outsold every single one of Sony's first party games combined. Not bad for supposed 640P, last gen, cartoon graphics, with only 16 players online. You fail again.
well sorry I"m going to have to correct you on one thing, your wrong halo 3 hasn't out sold everything "combined". Fall of man is close to 3 million, motorstorm is around 2 mil, so with those two alone, it doesn't beat it. Not saying that halo 3 didn't sell like crazy, just no, thats not a true statment.lol.
How can you dissagree with his statement. Its not opinion its fact. All of his points were true, if not a little rambunxious but still true.
VGChartz is usually pretty accurate within 5% of the NPD data and we get a basic idea of whats happening every week. The console wars aren't won with a single big weak but good sustained sales.
The psp the ps2 and the ps3 sold more then the 360. Looks like microsoft Halo effect is wearing off fast. And Sony hasnt yet release the 40gb in japan. once sony release the 40gb in japan, the 360 is dead there. its also amazing how well sony is selling without it releasing its heavy hitters yet. imagine how sell will pick up when mgs4 release.
Now all or a sudden some good news for ps3 in europe and your all over it like its gospel...what im trying too point out is if theres anyone on these boards that needs too shut the hell up is you.. and quit being a hypocrite. Saying something is irrelevant one day yet the next use it for your propaganda campaign really bugs me. ohh and trying to act like your not nasim proves your really a sick kid man...everyone with a brain can see the same type of writing style.
1.) Stop spreading FUD. According to this same website you used in news reporting RFOM is at 1.74 million worldwide. Keep in mind that figure would be alot lower if Sony wasnt bundling RFOM in EU. Below is an exact link. No PS3 game has reached 2 million is worldwide sales on bundled or on its own legs. Only 2 million PS3 games have gone over the 1 million mark. Motorstorm has been bundled in EU and the USA. Games shipped do not count as game sold.
2.) Show me proof of a Halo 3 bundle in any territory where Microsoft wasnt charging extra for the game and I will shut up. Otherwise just more FUD. Remember bundling means that you dont pay anything over MSRP of the the consoles price.
so u r saying any sony fan boy is nasim? or lets put it this way, any one who is supporting a ps3 or dont like the fatly x360 then he is nasim?
x360 is good only in NA thats all!! but yet ps3 will take over in NA slowly!
@guy above me! resistance sold more than 2 millions long time ago!! i saw it in the news every where! whether its bundled or not is not a question! and it is still selling a lot even better then halo 3 in Irland!!
@ guy below me! i never saw any post like nasim one's!! and shmee post this time is not so much crazy like others (TheMART)! its good for competition to be a war between consoles because in the end we win!! but someone please tell me why should i buy the x360 if shooting games is not my piority? i mean really xbox is trying to get wat the playstation brand got but with shooting games!! they didnt bring any thing new to gaming except for the online i give them credit for that!!but the rest they are just trying to copy the others!! name me one game on x360 that is an AAA but not shooting?? even their racing games is copying grand terismo!people loves final fantasy and they try to copy it and brought blue dragon!! they r not so much creatine except in shooting! they didnt make a huge impact in the gaming industry!
No every fanboy is not Nasim. However Nasim is no where to be found. This Shmee post the same crap in the same style trying to prove how godly PS3 is. A simple "ps3 is doing good" will not have everyone saying your Nasim. Nasim and Shmee's posts are almost the same.
Oh and Resistance beating halo3 in ireland? OMG ALL IS LOST!! stop selling halo3 and quit MS you got beat. Come on ireland? really? I know it is because of the bundle but it's ireland. Not that there is nothing wrong its just i don't see that being a huge territory for game sales.
why are people approving this. VGcharts does nothing but guess on EU numbers
@6.1 poor guy what its the truth. EU doesnt release their sales numbers to the public.
@6.2 i apporve VGcharts japan and NA numbers because their is some proof behind it. with EU its nothing but a guess because they dont release their numbers to the public and you know that
...that European numbers are mostly just a guess. REMEMBER, its European numbers, there are many countries within Europe, and the only countries that I see we should count there numbers are Western European countries.
The only sales in Europe that I will trust is UK sales.
Isn't this due to the ps3 price drop? When doesn't a console sell well due to a price drop. BTW Sony hasn't been outselling the 360 in Europe. Please show lome linkage next time.
Sony fanboys are getting desperate. Your console sucks face it. You bought the next gen jaguar. It's cool but no one wants one at 499.99 Hopefully it sells for 399.99
so where is your proof that the ps3 hasnt been outselling the 360, you are the same as the people you complain about. You say he has no proof and you have none as well.
Outselling the 360? yes! Dominating? Hell NO!!! 35,000 units in an area of 700 million people is no domination. domination is what the 360 is doing to the PS3 in the US. hell, i bet the 360 sold 40,000 more units in CA, USA alone. hardware sales don't mean jack! its all about the games! thats why i only have a 360. if the PS3 would show me something, in my genre, i would buy. not seeing anything worth my time. as of yet!! the 360 is an awesome GAMING machine. out...
how many FPS can one of you people play in 1 year? 12 FPS straight 1 per month?
Game devs would want to make more games in different genres to sell better to more variety of gamers....thats VARIETY...ya its truth that X360 is outselling PS3 atm in both Hardware and software in NA, but imagine an year later?
Everyone is still playing their old FPS that they have been enjoying and good at (since the new one doesn't give better graphics due to limited spec or better gameplay due to the limited genre) in xbox360...
On the other side with PS3? any type of game you want to play and they GOT it...and keep improving too
think about it, if you don't play other genre, shut the heck up, coz you don't represent all the gamers in the world...
you don't like Killzone? Haze? i love them and yes i buy them! a hell of alot of them to be honest. once again there must a market or the XBOX or PC wouldn't have lasted this long. let me guess... you hate Counter Strike and Rainbow Six too! i can only talk from my perspective. i'm a gamer that spends close to $240 a month on games. people like me, who spend money on what they like, are sought after by companies. MS saw a genre, tapped it, and now are riding it for all its worth! don't be a pawn. take all of this garbage for what its worth. buy what gives you enjoyment and quit being a PR guy for some company thats sole purpose is to make money! like the PS3 because its a gaming machine that appeals to your interests, not because its not the X360!!!
I 100% agree that MS tapped a market and ran with it but the question is how long can they keep it up?I actually like FPS so I would hope for quite some time. To continue they're success MS must do more to convince people that the 360 is the best console on every platform, not just a couple. can we agree?
even if they arent the right number, its not that far from it, and by end of year sony should corss 2 mill regardless in EU and thats trouble for the 360 which is still at around 3.5 mill or more, and with the PS3 heavy hitters coming mostly around March which is pretty much sony's month I can see those numbers getting pretty high.
the numbers up top clearly show the 360 at 3,860,039. thats roughly 3.8 million. where did you get your 3.5 million from. the PS3 aint hit 2 million like you stated but the 360 is over the 3.5 million mark. you guys will inflate sonys numbers an deflate MS numbers to make sony look better!!
You know, that the PS3 launched in March this year, and within these ~8 month has reached a 50+% total numbers sold compared to the 360? (1.9 vs. 3.8Mio). That's a pretty amazing job. BTW: overall sales in Spain have already surpassed the 360 (309k vs 219k).
anyway back to the Topic, Thats a Very good number for Ps3 considering its Weekly sales! It still didn't reach the 100k mark tho :\ Makes me wonder why the Wii keeps getting such high #s with this game drought... (Altho I hear Zack and Wiki is a great game) Xbox 360 Isn't doing too well....Not as bad as Japan....but its still pretty bad
shmee, seems like nasim for some reason. His writing style seems very familiar, the way he capitalizes certian words. The only difference is he seems to not be as rabid(probably not to give himself away).
as he would say, "why isn't this [email protected] bot banned?". Even if it isn't him hes done it before.
But who knows
whats funny was he always dissed vg charts, until recently. And i really don't know why vg charts is so distrusted as to any other site.
Now that the overated halo 2.1 hype storm has passed theres nothing left for the x360 they betetr start working on that 720 already beacuase PS3 is going to destroy the x360 in every single way.
x360 never had a change
dead in Japan dead in europe 2/3 of the world belongs to Sony.
1.) Your right the PS3 is beating the 360 in EU and Japan sales. But the 360 is still putting up respectable numbers in EU and according to Vgchartz was beating the PS3 on a weekly basis before the PS3 dropped price a few weeks ago. However the 360 is still beating the PS3 by such a large margin in the US that it more than makes up for any sales advantage PS3 may gain in EU or Japan. 2.) Although I believe the 360 is doomed to last place in Japan. EU is still up for grabs. 360 and PS3 have been goign back and forth all year since the PS3 launched. 3.) What makes you think that 360 consoles and Halo 3 will stop selling? 4.) What makes you think the 360 has no more games coming out for it? Stop spreading FUD. If you like the PS3 fine, but at least bash the 360 with facts and stop the gradeschool insults like 640P and Halo 2.1 Its getting quite old and makes you sound like a child.
Good for sony for maintaining the 2:1 against the xbox 360... but.. (yes some reality check)... at this rate it will take the PS3 more than 2 years to catchup on the xbox 360 in europe... not global.. since the the US numbers undermind the european numbers... Sony needs to figure out a way to sells 10:1 so they can dominate Europe within 6 months... seriously is no bashing... It took the wii 1 year to catchup on the xbox 360.. selling almost 10:1.
PS3Fanboys are putting all their hope in the Smallest of the 3 markets. Sorry but the USA and Japan are the only markets that matter. The USA will dictate what will happen in Europe.
ps3 dominating in europe? The 360's sales in UK alone make up for any domination in other european countries, In reality Ps3 is outselling because of the release of the 40 gig and no other reason not games or any thing else just what is affectively a last ditch price drop on a 5th sku.
Inreality world wide 360 is still out selling, selling more then ps3 By Vgchartz numbers ps3 is still at 5.36m WORLD wide 12.34 million goes to 360.
360/Wii are dominating ps3 in every single way.
P.S: 2:1 would be 76,424
P.P.S:and you suck at being off topic...reported.
FACT:Ps3 would have to sell 1 million a month to catch up to current total 360 sales by its 2nd year.
Be careful... Don't use numbers and reality in these kind of threads because you will be attacked.. ala 19.1
@19.1 - Out of all the Xbox 360 thrashing above this post, you single him out as a troll because he injected a nice dose of reality into your PS3 circle-jerk. This has as much to do with the 360 as the PS3 or the Wii.
You want to know the winner of this gen. The Wii! It has single handely whooped the azz of both the 360 and PS3 the world over.. Now, lets get on with gaming.
That ps3 is actually doing OK and not failing when 1) they dont have the heavy hitters yet 2) its much more expensive.
Although the heavy hitters are not out yet there is sufficient media to justify the purchase
1) a great variety of blu-ray movies 2) Warhawk 3) Ratchet 4) Heavently sword 5)Motorstorm 6) folklore
Although not the BEST games the system provides alot of variety and entertainment value, if you get tired or finished the games you can always jump onto the movie bandwagon, hence it will never collect dust.
so somehow you're saying the ps3 has sold -1 million units? cause 360 has sold 11 mil, and there are 12 months in a year (just in case you don't know), and 360 is about to hit its 2 year mark. and if ps3 sold a million a month for the next 12 months, it'd be on par with 360 after 2 years. but unfortunately for you, ps3 has sold close 6 million units already, which is on par, if not better than 360 sales.
personally, i'm hoping that this isn't just a bubble. it would be great if it were a maintained rise in sales.
who cares about console sales? i thought this site was about gaming news not who sells the most consoles. All this stupid flamebait is getting really annoying.
Sales are down to 73,614 for the week ending Oct. 28 from 105,948 for the week ending Oct. 21. That's a 31 percent drop ending PS3's 2 week clearance sale of BC enabled hardware. This is the US clearance sale all over again.
I guess thats good considering USA might be all but lost. We shall see how the public responds in 2008.
Looks like the 40gb is doing very good. THe ps3 is picking up steam. But wowo look at how the wii is dominating its amazing! Nintendo will probably go strong until next year. Ps3 has to much heavy hitters coming out next year so i dont see the wii dominating for a long time.
The PS3 has been dominating EU since it launched back in March...
The USA might all but be lost.??..and as far as I can tell when it's all said and done the 360 shall be last in the USA and just about everywhere else around the world...
so what happened to the HALO effect..?..OHH YEAH IT WAS JUST AN ILLUSION..!!
The psp the ps2 and the ps3 sold more then the 360. Looks like microsoft Halo effect is wearing off fast. And Sony hasnt yet release the 40gb in japan. once sony release the 40gb in japan, the 360 is dead there. its also amazing how well sony is selling without it releasing its heavy hitters yet. imagine how sell will pick up when mgs4 release.
Like last time the sales picked up but fell again. I like it how the sales are actually holding. I think at this rate, 360 won't pass PS3 again in EU.
Plus people, PES bundle in early november. Don't forget that.
