Im 100% sure that in Europe ps3 is outselling the 360 and ps3 is outselling the 360 in Japan as well, so overall ps3 is doing perfectly well, now Sony need to start with this new PSN i dont mind paying as long as they make it great. do it sony!!

The UK, Europes biggest game market as of novemeber last year is Xbox Land.

There is no microsoft land, or sony land. It is just nintendo land.

True enough. Although, my house is SONY land and Nintendo can do nothing about it. Personally victory

If you add up the 360 and PS3 numbers. And "cheat" your way through by adding yet another million, they still can't catch up:lol:

Wow ps3 outsold xbox by 850k'ish worldwide in december, 6 or 7 more months like that and this and it will be caught up to the xbox. Even after xbox had a year head start. It's offical ps3 sold more units per month worldwidesince launch than xbox has. Now xbox can't even win in it's strongest market. Stick a fork in it, xbox is done. How's the crow tasting lemmings?

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.

It took the ps3 3 years to get to second place barely? Sales dont matter. You can get an xbox 360 or ps3 for the same price as a wii and the xbox 360/ps3>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>wii hardware. Yet people still buy it by the truck loads. Should have KNOWN. Anyone who uses the word TREY to describe A PIECE OF entertainment hardware instead of its real name should be BANNED from the english language.

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)

Haha, Wii just completely shattered the PS2 record by over 700k. This is beast.

Who cares, they catered to different markets. Wii is a casual system while PS2 was had a little bit of everything. Congrats to Nintendo, but I hope they change their strategy next gen because the Wii honestly doesn't deserve this kind of success.

Let's follow this path. Let's say the PS3 and 360 are tied in the US / EU (some months the 360 wins out, some the PS3) and the PS3 continues to outsell the 360 in Japan by an average of 300k units a month. We already know that the PS3 is around the 31 million unit mark and the 360 at the 39 million mark (Microsoft announced this at CES 2010). It's still take over 2 years for the PS3 to just CATCH UP to Microsoft (27 months). And that's assuming Microsoft does nothing to try and boost 360 sales, as well as assuming Natal has no impact at all on units sold. So sure, In 2 years when the Xbox 720 has already been announced and either launched or about to be launched the PS3 MIGHT catch up.

You used to play mario, that is reason why it sells. Everyone one time has played a mario game. So you should expect new super mario bros wii to be on that list.

More sales doesn't mean superior console?

A long time ago many nations supported slavery. Does that make it good?

Just cause the ps3 outsold the xbox 360 does not make it a better console.

Your not taking in the consideration of the intelligence of the consumer and the reason WHY they bought a ps3.

Maybe they got YLOD? LUL

Their previous strategies didn't work for them and that's an opinion as I think it does deserve it's success.

Don't worry the Wii 2 won't have this success. Because Nintendo focuses on casuals, who's going to upgrade? You think casuals care about HD graphics? People just want Wii Sports and Mario. If Nintendo's smart they ride the Wii as long as they possibly can, because casuals won't upgrade and they abandoned hardcore.

Where are the European numbaz!!? :o

ToScA-

The PS3 has already pasted the 360 in EUROPE despite the 16 month difference in launch dates.

Ontopic

Wow at Wii and NSMBW :o

And the PS3 outsold the 360 by 50k, i was expecting it to be the other way around :P

Yeah I've seen that. However, that doesn't take into account the pricedrops and price reconfiguration of PS3 and 360 respectively. Let alone the holiday season.

If it doesn't take into account the price drops and price reconfiguration, why did the PS3 get a massive spike in the second chart around the time the slim came out?

Also, it might not include the holidays, but going by how (according to this chart) the PS3 has outsold the 360 for pretty much for the past 3 years, logic would say that it continued that trend through the holidays. No?

You're absolutely right. I was under the impression that the charts were from early September. The link above suggest otherwise.

Congrats Nintendo!

After the Gamecube, I never dreamed that the Wii would ever sell so well. Yet year after year though it has continued to sell very well. I'm happy to see Nintendo doing so strongly.

Yes this does make sense, but lets look at the launch dates of both. Xbox had a year head start and now can barely hold their own in their best terrirtory? If the console war ended in a few months it would be a victory for ps3. Xbox had no competition in terms of mature next gengamers for a full year and yet still have sold less units per month of existance than ps3? Thats a huge and epic failure in my book

If the console war ended in a few months then it would definitely be 1. Wii 2. 360 3. PS3 A few month in second for sales does not equal a victory when this generation is in its 4th year

No it doesn't, but selling more units per month of existance does equal a victory, and a huge epic fail by ms who had a year of unopposed competition.

If the console war ended in a few months it would be a victory for ps3. Xbox had no competition in terms of mature next gengamers for a full year and yet still have sold less units per month of existance than ps3? Thats a huge and epic failure in my book

actually it's a big failure for Sony, as the price-cut and the slim only made them win by 3 consoles and a chewing gum

[QUOTE="mythrol"][QUOTE="Kennysolidsnake"] well considering its outselling the 360 in japan by average of 300k consoles a month and who knows in EU and pal territoriesmrgreen108

Let's follow this path. Let's say the PS3 and 360 are tied in the US / EU (some months the 360 wins out, some the PS3) and the PS3 continues to outsell the 360 in Japan by an average of 300k units a month. We already know that the PS3 is around the 31 million unit mark and the 360 at the 39 million mark (Microsoft announced this at CES 2010). It's still take over 2 years for the PS3 to just CATCH UP to Microsoft (27 months). And that's assuming Microsoft does nothing to try and boost 360 sales, as well as assuming Natal has no impact at all on units sold. So sure, In 2 years when the Xbox 720 has already been announced and either launched or about to be launched the PS3 MIGHT catch up.

Yes this does make sense, but lets look at the launch dates of both. Xbox had a year head start and now can barely hold their own in their best terrirtory? If the console war ended in a few months it would be a victory for ps3. Xbox had no competition in terms of mature next gengamers for a full year and yet still have sold less units per month of existance than ps3? Thats a huge and epic failure in my book

Yes, I agree, I mean, Forget the 24 million sold $4 billion lose that Microsoft had with the original Xbox, it's a fail for a company to now have outsold there predecessor by 15 million in the same time frame and pulled outta the black only after 2 years on the market. Not only that but, I call it a win for Sony even though the PS3 probably wont brake 50 million WW before the next gen starts. I mean, Sony's so cool that even if they're losing they still win. :|

I'm sorry, where's the extra 800K coming from again? Oh, wait, it's the unknown numbers from places like Spain, Germany and Switzerland, right?

Yep, it must be even sader for people to ignore the USA because their console of choice doesn't sell well here.

Maybe we should make another thread where US Fanboys come in and talk about how stupid Americans are becasue they didn't buy a PS3 instead of a 360.

Oh, wait a minute, I thinkI'm turning Japanese

[QUOTE="metswonin69"]

Why the heck is there almost never any PS3 games in the software list?

ToScA-

Smaller userbase.

The low (relative) attach rate still suggest that there is more to it than that. ..Unless said attach rate has improved significantly?

6.5 tie ratio is low :\

Better tell the Wii owners because they have 6.2 tie ratio as of Apr of 09.

im not ignoring it, it beat xbox by 50k, 600k beatdown in japan confirmed. adding another 200k in other territories is being very generous towards ms
