those sales suck. the 360 has 10 million out in the us and it sold 1.8. the ps3 has 4.5 and it sold 1 million. so the ps3 did better against the 360. but the hardware sales are sad for both. wtf 1000apart. 360 fanboys can't really claim ownage on this i mean year the mario sold more than gta 4 ps3 but you sales aren't mind blowing ethier.
Right now, only morons interpret this as good news for MS or Sony. MS sold and Sony sold both about what they should given their relative install base, but that isn't really really important to them. What is important is that IT DIDN'T MOVE CONSOLES! They got utterly destroyed by Nintendo with Wii.
I mean, I'm no nintendo fan, but unless their is a drastic turn around this month due to people just delaying their console purchasing, I'm ready to call it Nintendo's win this gen, with MS and Sony fighting over scraps. And the truly sad thing is the Wii really doesn't deserve that win, but it's pretty much got it locked at this point.
Wow Wii outsold PS3 & 360 almost 4:1 during a month GTA IV was released... If GTA can not move consoles then there is little hope for games like MGS and Gears 2.
Biggest Market in the world = US ....Belongs to the 360 version
Biggest Market in Europe= UK....Belongs to the 360 version
sony....gets the small scraps.....:lol: you can out sell the 360 in iceland, have fun
guys look at his level and posts count... it is obvious this guy does not do his research...maybe he hasnt read of the news about sony taking europe yet? :roll:
