In sales PS3 has surpassed the 8 million mark and is steadily making it's way to 9 million units sold. If PS3 keeps selling this way Sony will easily make it to 11 million units by the end of this ficial year.

Just wait until MGS4 come.

Nice to see more PS3's being sold simply because more units sold means producers are more likely to release games for the PS3 or at least make a good job of porting games onto it.

MGS4 alone probably might push over 1 million people to buy the damn console couple of months before the game's launch.

Well AgentH, Konami said they needed to sell 1 million copies of MGS4 on the first day, I think they'll just about do it provided that there is enough supply. Hell it might even sell half that on pre-orders alone.

uhh heres a thought... if so many 360s break im sure there are the ppl that just buy a new one instead of just returning it... even so maybe returns arent subtracted from the number of 360s sold.... sooo not tryin to start a flame war here but i think the 360 only has so much because of ppl having to buy new ones and returns not being subtracted from the total number... but 8.41 million is pretty good

Good point. I think so as well and I aslo think 2008, which is rite around the corner is gonna put the PS3 on top cuz I think a number of the PS2 gamers will move up to a PS3 to play MGS4 and hopefully FF13 if it is released next year as well.

Sony knows what they're doing. They had a very rough start, but now they have the rocket launcher and they're ready to steal the flag. :D

Vgchartz undertracked the PS3 for november by 75K in North America and overtracked the 360 and Wii by nearly 200K each .And they didnt change the numbers when NPD released theirs .They are also tracking more 360 in some european contries that the numbers MS themselves reclaim so some overtracking there too .With that said ,I think the PS3 numbers are correct as they have always tried to put them the lower possible.As always with vgchartz ,take the numbers with a grain of salt as orientative and wait until NPD data to have your own idea of whats happening ,in any case its orientative and shows the PS3 is doing quite good for its real first "holidays " with good supply and good games .The future looks good for the machine ,even if it doesnt dominate as the PS2 .

wonderfull news!!! It is nice to see PS3 boosting sales!!! The games imo are fantasic and are just getting better, 2008 should be a bad ass year for them, not only do they match 360 in multi platforms this year, but a lot of them are lead platform so they will at leased run nearly as good as 360, so sales should keep going up not having to worry about that. Also with ps3 pushing damn near 7+ quality exclusives and 360 already through there big hype guns out, and really close to each other and ps3 sales are still selling at a good % margin. If they can keep this up, and release top end exclusives like they advertise, the time MGS4 gets a date, there should be more then enough systems out there to make Konami happy and for MGS to die on PS3 and never set foot on the Evil cluches of the 360.

i mean, its a nice number but at the same time not impressive. those are just people that couldn't afford the system at it's launch and months after...dedicated cows that just finally got the money to afford it. with 120+millsion ps2 owers who were suppose to jump to the ps3...8 million sold is a very measly number to me and i'm sure Sony doesn't look at it as a positive either

also there's no way it's reaching 11 million sold by the end of the year, lol. it's the 26th...the new year is in 5 days. do you really think it's going to sell 3 million units in 5 days...a week AFTER christmas?? people spent all their money for christmas and the other holidays of this month and now after all that is done 3 million people are goin to say "hey, why not spend some more and buy a 400 dollar system and get even more in the hole." lol.

if it was around 10 million sold i'd say there'd be a chance...but looking at the charts(weekly numbers---THE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS) the ps3 was still the losest selling console besides the wii that had shortages...which it barely outsold. so why would anyone of u think it'd reach the 11 million unit mark is beyond me.

did you actually look at the numbers...it sold like crap. 120+ million ps2 users...8 million ps3s sold...stop saying things are looking food for the ps3, they're not.

is anyone even looking athe the numbers and thinking rationally?? reaching the 11 million is a goal...not success for Sony anyway.

the system needs a heavy hitter out now...a bunch of maybes and luke warm recepted games isn't goin to cause any boom.

Heh, was just about to post that.

Anyway, good for Sony. I agree with what someone else said, I think the advertising has been a major help, considering there was almost none before a couple months ago.

Okay...that's 11 million by the end of the Fiscal Year, not calendar year. And that's not too bad considering stumbling out the gate in third, massive negative PR and undercutted by developers who didn't wan't to put forth max effort into making decent ports, not "dumbed down" ones plus...the unfriendly $$$ tag! Look at what's out now: NG Sigma, Resistance, Uncharted, Tekken DR online, Warhawk, R&C, Heavenly Sword to go with great multi-plats CoD4, Assassin's Creed, UT3 (timed exclusive I know), etc. M$ fired their shots early and the Wii is truckin along (fun I'll admit...found one for my kids for Christmas), but look at what's coming...MGS4, Killzone 2, (the real)GOW 3, LBP, Tekken 6, DMC4, GTA4, Resistance 2, Home community, Haze, FF XIII, and so on.....Pretty soon, all the Sony owners will be saying..."Who's laughing now"....

not trying to bring anybody down. it's the truth, its a goal not a success if it does happen. do u really think Sony only wants to sell 11 million units out of the 120 million ps2 users to date. truthfully i was expecting at least 15 million sold by now when they had 120 million waiting. i thought the 360 would have no chance inthis at all and it'd be a miracle to be in the race...but lookie here.

uhh heres a thought... if so many 360s break im sure there are the ppl that just buy a new one instead of just returning it... even so maybe returns arent subtracted from the number of 360s sold.... sooo not tryin to start a flame war here but i think the 360 only has so much because of ppl having to buy new ones and returns not being subtracted from the total number... but 8.41 million is pretty good

khalid_b

Good point. I think so as well and I aslo think 2008, which is rite around the corner is gonna put the PS3 on top cuz I think a number of the PS2 gamers will move up to a PS3 to play MGS4 and hopefully FF13 if it is released next year as well.




If a 360 owners gets their 360 returned with a new one instead of a repaired or refurbish one, does that new one get added as another console sold?

Cause I recall reading somewhere that MS' numbers does not say how many is new or refurbish and there issuggestion that they puts them together in one number.

In sales PS3 has surpassed the 8 million mark and is steadily making it's way to 9 million units sold. If PS3 keeps selling this way Sony will easily make it to 11 million units by the end of this ficial year.

Just wait until MGS4 come.

i mean, its a nice number but at the same time not impressive. those are just people that couldn't afford the system at it's launch and months after...dedicated cows that just finally got the money to afford it. with 120+millsion ps2 owers who were suppose to jump to the ps3...8 million sold is a very measly number to me and i'm sure Sony doesn't look at it as a positive either

also there's no way it's reaching 11 million sold by the end of the year, lol. it's the 26th...the new year is in 5 days. do you really think it's going to sell 3 million units in 5 days...a week AFTER christmas?? people spent all their money for christmas and the other holidays of this month and now after all that is done 3 million people are goin to say "hey, why not spend some more and buy a 400 dollar system and get even more in the hole." lol.

if it was around 10 million sold i'd say there'd be a chance...but looking at the charts(weekly numbers---THE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS) the ps3 was still the losest selling console besides the wii that had shortages...which it barely outsold. so why would anyone of u think it'd reach the 11 million unit mark is beyond me.

did you actually look at the numbers...it sold like crap. 120+ million ps2 users...8 million ps3s sold...stop saying things are looking food for the ps3, they're not.

This post is so full of fail it is almost unbelievable. Look man this is for you...please read it so you don't make yourself look so bad again - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiscal_year

ok, well when did the fiscal year start for sony or the gaming industry? when does it end?

i didn't know the difference....but enlighten.

The fiscal year of the PS3 comes around in March, at that time the system would be out in all the regions for a full year.

Also I think the numbers are going to make some 360 fans jaws drop, because the numbers are going to be more than what the charts are showing.

^^I believe it's the April-March one. And so, quite possibly, depending when MGS4 comes out, the ps3 could get to 11+million. Keep in mind other exclusives as well.

I know some people are saying that it's a far cry from the 120+million ps2 base.But lets face it, that was at the end of the ps2's cycle. And total sales so far for all consoles don't come anywhere close to that number. So really, although 8million ain't much, it's good by comparison to the competition. Really just means most of that ps2 base hasn't bought into next-gen yet. And I don't blame them really.

uhh heres a thought... if so many 360s break im sure there are the ppl that just buy a new one instead of just returning it... even so maybe returns arent subtracted from the number of 360s sold.... sooo not tryin to start a flame war here but i think the 360 only has so much because of ppl having to buy new ones and returns not being subtracted from the total number... but 8.41 million is pretty good

Not 100% on this but i think it does cuz a new one is always going to be a unit sold, refurbished and used not always but new for sure

I'm sick of people saying VG chartz arn't credible. Sure it's not NPD but it's not like the numbers are ever way off. They are, for the most part, pretty accurate. The PS3 is finally selling and I think some xbots can't handle it.

thats good work by sony. wow imagine what it would be like when mgs4 and killzone 2 comes out...i think that sony should advertise these two games quite a bit...it would do wonders!! i think alot of people would be very surprised with teh graphics on killzone 2.

What you guys think?
