Cows: Haha we beat you, close but we beat you.

Lemmings: You'll never catch up, keep beating us by minimal(in our perspective) differences.

Commence.

I wonder what the software sales will look like, more than likely one-sided.

What game would you say reflects your definition of Doomed? It's obviously not "Doom", as one would think. Perhaps a Barbie game is what depicts "doomed" for you? In any case, PS3 ought to be selling well, it's got a great line up finally that's worth playing.

I was pointing out the fact that SOME people say that the PS3 will outsell the 360 WW by the end ofthis year. It is obviously selling extremely well (which it should considering it is finally getting high quality exclusive, and Blu-Ray certainly helps), but only beating the 360 by 50k in the biggest market isn't anything to get extremely excited about. Which, I am sure you weren't, right? ;)

Can anyone explain to me why the Xbox 360 is still matching Playstation 3 sales? No one is buying the best Xbox release of the year, Forza 3, and Halo 3 ODST is scarcely capable of selling systems, whereas everything else worth a damn released this year is multiplatform. This is easily the worst Xbox 360 year since 2006.... They have the same price and yet one carries inherently more value.....so why isn't it mopping the floor with the Xbox?

360's at 39 mil according to Microsoft as of earlier this week. Ninty and Sony should both officially announce their latest numbers soon. That'll give us an estimation of how well/bad the consoles did in Europe.

Xbox 360 has more popular franchise (halo odst compared to uncharted 2), cheaper, and is made by a company that has a stronger marketing force (microsoft has a much larger appeal in america than sony). So it should be outselling more.

my guess is becasue at this point in the gen the 30 is considered the more "popular" of the two. Of course casual gamers are gonna eat that all up.

Name recognition perhaps. In the US for many the gamers the 360 may still be the "it" system. I also heard that the ps3 had some supply issues in December

the x360 has a more social vibe to it? people prefer the x360's UI or controller? loads of possibilities.

Am i the only one that thinks that the japenese population buy ps3's just for the hell of it? (not to sound racist, apologize to anyone who got offended)

Would that be more applicable to the Wii?

Seriously though, with all the limited editions PS3 bundles that comes with every major release, if I lived in Japan I myself would be tempted to pick up an extra PS3 or two for collection's sake.

The king has retured. Major beatdownby theTREY over the 360. PS3 probably would have completely destroyed the 360 if it wasn't for major PS3 shortagesand 360 replacement buys (RROD and Microsoft banning those accounts) ! But with that being said , 360 is still DEAD LAST for the month anyway where it belongs. TREY 4 LI4E!

Sales matter people.

Additionally, 360 had quite a lackluster year in 2009 as far as exclusive game releases go. In 2010, with a rumoured pricedrop and probably its most promising line-up since that of 2007, I'd be surprised if 360 doesn't take off. PS3's line-up is looking immense though.

[QUOTE="stygiansanity"][QUOTE="Brownesque"]Can anyone explain to me why the Xbox 360 is still matching Playstation 3 sales? No one is buying the best Xbox release of the year, Forza 3, and Halo 3 ODST is scarcely capable of selling systems, whereas everything else worth a damn released this year is multiplatform. This is easily the worst Xbox 360 year since 2006.... They have the same price and yet one carries inherently more value.....so why isn't it mopping the floor with the Xbox?

the x360 has a more social vibe to it? people prefer the x360's UI or controller? loads of possibilities.

My personal explanation is the "sold to retailers" versus "sold to customers" distinction. My guess is that MS simply wanted to sell consoles to retailers.
