How has the PS3 outsold the X360?

[QUOTE="KeyWii"]People are smart when it comes to money. And people know they got screwed if they bought an Xbox, meanwhile, their investment into the PS2 was very worthwhile. This trust goes a long way into the success of the PS3 and the slow and steady decline of the 360.thinicer

Not necessarily. If demand is 1 million consoles but you only supply 600,000 units................... the demand is not fulfilled regardless of territory. What makes matters worse is that more consoles were supplied to territories where there was clearly less demand. Both these situations account for the reason why comparing the X360 or Wii launch to the PS3 is lopsided since the Sony supplied many more units than actual demand but the others didn't.

Come on KeyWii. Spin the facts that the 360 is the current sales leader, and the PS3 is down by at least 7 million still. Spin the fact that the 360 has, for the last 4 months outsold the PS3. Spin the fact that the Wii is dominating the 360 and the PS3 in the last few months.
You ignore this everytime I post it in any thread you are in, because you cannot argue it. Right now, gamers are choosing the Wii and the 360 over the PS3.

[QUOTE="KeyWii"]X360 has absolutely squandered its 1-YR lead. I don't know how on Earth the PS3 has outsold the X360 going from the same launch-to-date time frames.

• X360 launched in NA in Nov. of 2005.
• X360 Launched Europe and Japan in December of 2005.
• X360 Launched in Argentina and Mexico on February 2nd, 2006.
• X360 launched in South Korea on February 24th, 2006.

MARCH . 2006. XBOX360 finally instock at retailers.

• PS3 launched in Japan and NA in Nov of 2006.

Can anyone explain how the PS3 has out paced the X360? PS3 being in 4 less territores. PS3 being more expensive. And PS3 with arguably only 1 stand out game.

Except that the PS3 is still being outsold by the 360...Just check your local Best Buy.

not sure about that but, that means nothing, the ps2 out sold them all including the wii, even this past holida season

hmm since the ps3 launched its been outsold by the 360 each month. in the ps3 hottest selling points the 360 still outsold it. the ps3 is currently in last place when you look at sales, and it has the least amount of games out. jxditu

Vgcharts yay for a guessing site! I believe more in nexgenwars numbers then VG's there more conservative. While VG's is out of hand.

  because everyone constantly said the ps3 wasnt selling when it was all sold out too. get ready for retribution. It will come swift. The age of lemmings is coming to a close.Imallvol7

PS3 was only sold out for 2-3 weeks after launch... Then flood of photos started to poor in of PS3's collecting dust.

Even with launch supply greater then 360 launch supply... They can't even muster to sell them all out. 360 continues to sell better then the PS3 even after a year... What happen to Blu-Ray as a selling point?

It's too early to tell either way if one or the other sold more within the same time-frame, but to be fair MS does use a more accurate definition of 'units sold' than Sony ;)

I personally consider this self ownage.

Actually it depends on what "Guess site" you want to go with...

Nextgenwars IS a guessing site, with occasional updates when actual data comes in. Otherwise its a ticker that is completely inaccurate. VGCharts IS NOT a guessing site as sales data is only updated when relevant data comes in from reputable sources.Runningflame570

So they say. I'll take Nexgenwars.. Thank you!

Not to hot and not to cold, but just right.

Hey look at this.

***Taken from nexgenwars***

" NexGen Wars.com has spent countless hours researching sales facts from dozens of sources to track the worldwide sales of the consoles and monitor the next generation of console wars between the Microsoft Xbox 360, the Sony Playstation 3, and the Nintendo Wii. Remember, these numbers are only estimates, but they are constantly monitored and updated to assure the closest estimates possible for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and Wii."

A site that tells it like it is and doesn't lie about their numbers being estimates... Gets my seal of approval.

Maybe you should get anger management? Maybe video games do cause violet behaver.

PS3 have sold more then xbox360 in month 2 and 3 and it havent even come out in europe .

Info from distribution... is not sales. All data is "subject to interpretation".... Meaning they can alter it any way they like.

No, thanks.

Way to pick and choose, they take all the information from distribution (their shipped numbers, which don't match the sold numbers) and all relevant industry information services (NPD, Mediacrate, ect.) and through those services and any number of other sources reach a middle-ground which is largely more accurate than the basement project known as nexgenwars.com. Your argument for nexgenwars is irrelevant here in any case as Vgcharts.org is the officially sanctioned sales tracking site of System Wars as approved by mods and voted upon by posters here (it won by an overwhelming margin).Runningflame570

Thats all you come up with?

Thats more than I needed to. The disclosure of individual sales data on a month-by-month basis to compare to generally accepted figures and the sheer amount of areas from which they draw their information is more than enough to put them ahead of nexgenwars which has none of this. There is no accountability for nexgenwars if they get something utterly wrong (and they do on a regular basis) vgcharts has accountability. VGCharts is the officially endorsed site on SW for a reason, its better than nexgenwars and the other sites people had nominated. So tell me, is your utterly pathetic prior post really all you could come up with?Runningflame570

I don't need to wright a book to get my point across maybe you should try it some time. Saves you on wrist cramps.

Typical response. Very predictable from defensive people that insult others to make them feel good.

Out of Stock???? I was PS3 with the bigger out of stock issues?

Are you suggesting that Ebayed 360's sold for more than PS3. I highlyyyyyyyyyyyyy Doubt.

And no one cares about that last line since its off topic

Hahahahahahahahaha...Seriously, if you believe PS3 sales are much better than that, I have a bridge to sell you. Have you been to a major retailer lately? I can't comment on the 360 having sold 10.6 million systems (as I doubt my Best Buy accounts for all of them), but the PS3 isn't outselling the 360 EVEN NOW. Fact of the matter is, most people balk at the $600 price tag. The only people that think the PS3 is selling well are the head honchos over at Sony, and I think we all remember how that turned out:
