IGN confirms PS3 outsold Xbox360

@knight-k: An alt with 3500 posts? Hardly....and yes, they were literally based on air. They said they have no idea how many shipped consoles were sold, and that it was pretty much an estimate.... but it obviously means a lot to cows, so I digress.

Umm ever hear of a warranty? Warranties don't count towards sales but I will tell you what does, the PS3 YOLD failures, PS3 laser failures(personal experience with that) as well as all the other PS console failures. So provide proof the RROD inflated any sales numbers to a point that it made a difference. Oh wait, you can't. Didn't think so

Does not matter in the slightest to me.

I actually liked the 360 more than Ps3 (opposite this generation).

@Livecommander: “Mature systems?” Lol! There’s a reason the most vulgar and vile people alive are on PlayStation and Xbox. Maturity sure as hell aint it...

I'm not sure why so many lemmings are butthurt by this. The PS3 was outselling the 360 WW for years this isn't a surprise. The fact it managed to outsell it despite launching at $600 and coming out a year later proves the strength of the PS brand. Overall though it was a painful generation. They lost alot of money and allowed MS to become a major player in the console market. Lucky for them MS destroyed alot of that momentum with the XB1 reveal.

@GoldenElementXL: Let me know when its normal for a kid to curse and be disrespectful online. Most 8 years old rather play a cartoon.

Weather its immature or not it's what comes after being a child.

When Nintendo gets its online chat more consumer friendly then Nintendo will ironically become to the most disrespectful and immature place being that it's where most innocent kids will be affected.

The bill and Ted movies would be rated R if they cursed alot etc. Regardless of how immature they act during the movie

They posted a graph image yesterday too on FB.

@KBFloYd: still outsold 360, deal with it.

@sleepnsurf:

Nope, the ps3 had higher scoring exclusives (eventually), had more capabilities than the 360, and was far more reliable.

It seems you cows are the ones that can't deal with it anything related to the 360. It took Sony's stranglehold on NA away which is why you cows are still crying about it today. Just look at this thread. Does it matter what the sales are at this point for last gens consoles? What were the sales when it actually mattered?

To quote you "deal with it"

Disc read error on all three PS3 that i own. They never moved once placed.

I owned three PS3's.

My original fat launch version died

The second one was stolen.

Fine by me, but cows shouldn't pretend that gen 7 wasn't a huge loss for Sony

@kingtito: The reason why Cows are here is because Lems claimed for years that 360 sold more, despite knowing sales were inflated from rrod. Then they move the goalposts to "Well it took sales from Sony". Doesn't look like it had an affect this gen.

@Pedro: My guess is the Cheetos dust on your fingers slithered its way into the disc drive.

But it did sell more for the entire gen. If, and I emphasize if, and nothing shown today has proved it. Speculation in no way shape or form is proof.

Proof of those inflated sales? So would that make the PS3 sales inflated as well since we all know of the YOLD and laser problems it had with NO warranty to replace it. I know those problems weren't as wide spread of RROD but MS had a warranty and warrantied consoles weren't counted as sales. So show me proof of your inflated sales claim

Goalpost were never moved. For years prior and after all cows talked about were sales and how it was going to destroy the 360 from the get go. That didn't happen so they moved over to graphics and that didn't happen either. The goalpost movers were cows, not lems

So the Best Xbox console can't beat the worst PS.. Not going to look good with Xbox next gen against PS since this dude Mark Cerny knows what the hell he is doing!

You do know how much MS lost on the very first Xbox alone, right? There isn't a sector they've burned cash on more than Xbox. They're weirdly obsessed with trying to take over this industry, even though it even less possible now than it's ever been.

Nice projection but I don't eat while playing games. And who the &%#@ still eats cheetos?

@Pedro: Your comebacks are getting weak.

@drummerdave9099: I don’t ignore it. We like to point out that even at Sony’s worst, it is still better than Microsoft’s best.

It’s Over for the Xbox brand. 3 Failed Gens in a row.

PS5 will go on to sell 100 Million+ while Xbox 2’s sit in garbage dumps crying.

Yikes the cows aren't taking this well, but the desperation to confirm that their plastic box was ahead of the Xbox (last gen lol) is now down to an assumption

Yeah the most toxic fanbase rears its ugly head once again.

ITT:

COWS are DUMBER than Rocks

TC is Cowering in his parents' basement and is DUMBER than Rocks.

so, this is important because of ....... ?

Yeah but for most of the gen the 360 kicked the PS3 As@ then at the start of the current gen they surpass them and you Cows call that a win! LMFAO

I always been told they both sold 85 million and Wii 100 million, so never considered any of the 3 winners per say.

Anyone to brag about any of the 3 winning are crazy.

Exactly what I'm thinking. MS is f***ed going into next-gen against Sony especially a Sony that seems to know what they are doing with all the home runs they've been hitting lately.

While Sony was busy releasing specs of their PS5 on Monday and blowing people away, out of touch MS was announcing the Xbox SAD Edition and becoming the laughing stock of the internet. If that's the same energy MS is planning to use going forward they should pack up their bags and go home because they've already lost. If the hungry and competent MS from last-gen weren't able to beat an out of touch and almost bankrupt Sony last gen then this new MS run by Fail "No Games" Spencer and his stooges isn't gonna stand a chance.

Didn't we already know that PS3 outsold Xbox 360? So. In retrospect I had the 360 first and than got a PS3 and was all PS3 fanboyish but in actuality the 360 was a way better console. Multi plats were better, Xbox Live, download speeds were better etc.

Thanks for that info, my life will never be the same again.

Also do forget the PS3 sold because it had a Blu-Ray player.

@Pedro:

Are you seriously trying to discredit the ps3's reliability with (compared to the 360's rate of failure) isolated issues vs the 360?

My ps3 broke on me too, but I went through only 2 ps3 (the 2nd ps3 fault was moreso on Sony's repair team than anything)but like 5 360 last gen.

@xhawk27: The ps3 outsold the 360 for nearly its entire life span, the only reason number wise why the 360 was able to keep up was its year head start which saw it sell I believe 10 million systems. If you're going to talk at least know wtf you're talking about.

@ajstyles: Even if those numbers are true, in the markets that there was unbiased competition, the Xbox 360 trounced the PS3. Japanese gamers only buy Japanese consoles.

If you take the culturally skewed numbers from Japan out of the equation, the Xbox 360 sold over 9 million more units than the PS3 (JP: PS3 = 10.6m, 360 = 1.6m)

/thread.

How many of each did you actually purchase vs getting repaired under warranty? He's saying that since the most prevalent issues on the 360 ended up being covered under warranty, and the PS3 only had a standard (1 year I think?) one, that there is a good possibility that the PS3 ended up being as inflated or more inflated due to rebuys.

You never watch the classic movie "Goonies" have you?

Thank god somebody finally brought up Japan's skewing of the numbers. I'd be curious to see who won the areas where the most games are sold. I'd hazard a guess that NA sell more games per system than anywhere else with Europe a close second as they tend to have the most disposable income.

@blackhairedhero: Butthurt's with you. Maybe you should read the article.."

(There's some debate as to whether the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 ultimately sold more units. With such a tight race and lack of official data, it's difficult to come to a clear conclusion. Continue to the PS3 section to see how we came to ours.)"

Playstation 3 just barely outsold Xbox 360. something like 86.5 million PS3 consoles to 85.4 million Xbox 360 consoles. IGN seems to have finally confirmed PS3 speaking into second place behind the Nintendo Wii with 101.2 million ish consoles sold.

If it was not for the Xbox RRoD Microsoft would have taken second place. While MS repaired or replaced defective Xbox 360 consoles. The RRoD did hurt the Xbox brand, and sales which could have been more.

plus despite the Wii sucking for traditional gamers. It was part of the 7th generation Console Wars. Xbox 360 and PS3 were only 16 million ish behind despite being more expensive than Nintendo's Netflix machine. After the blue ocean people were done with bowling.

That could be possible but you can't call it confirmed with speculation and IGN even admitted as such. So, not confirmed but more speculation

Pretty much spot on with the rest of your post

I'm pretty sure that MS has burned through billions in other sectors as well over the years. MS deals in LONG term stratagies, and profits over the years since have eaten into those losses, and has allowed them to build up a base of recurring subscriptions. Then you have to factor in that even 9 billion in losses doesn't hurt all that much when you have the revenue and income of a company like MS that literally dwarfs sony in size.

@davillain-: have you ? The goonies definently aren't portrayed as ordinary kids.

It's what made the movie special for christ sakes lol

@sealionact: Butthurts with me? What reason would I care? If anyone's butthurt its MS fans. They are 0 and 3 vs Sony and after their strongest generation they destroyed all their momentum and got wrecked.

Wow I just can’t believe how many brain dead lems refuse to accept facts in here. The 3shitty’s failure rate was estimated to be over 54%!

You losers will defend every single one of MS’s failures it’s actually preposterous. Lems are the grossest fanboys, confirmed.

You mean the one that lasted 3 years and that by 2009 had millions of users without it?

Oh again trying to portrait YLOD like having even close the fail rate of RROD had.

RROD didn't cover laser failure on xbox 360 either,in fact RROD didn't even cover E74 error up until 2009 which mean for 5 years anyone who had a E74 error was out of warranty and had to buy a new unit.

The proof is there i don't know a single person who hasn't buy a second 360 BUY not warranty shit,am i am sure you will be hard pressed to find someone here that didn't own a damn slim 360 after owning a damn fat 360.

And considering that you claim to OWN 3 xbox one i say you owned as well more than 1 bought by your money and we know you LOVE to make shit up and lie to have things your way,examples trying to portrait YOLD as been even close to RROD or pretending laser problems didn't happen on 360.

Fact is the xbox 360 and PS3 were not more than 400k apart sales wise in December 2013,while the PS3 continue to outsold the 360 world wide in 2014,2015,and 2016 so yeah is a given the PS3 pass the 360 even more if we taken into account that millions of 360 were re-bought units the 360 warranty was 3 years all people who bought a 360 by summer 2007 by the time the slim 360 arrived were totally out of warranty and those were by far the worse models you can pretend all you want the 360 ended 3rd period not that it matter much the PS3 loss as well move on.

The funny thing is that i KNEW that i would find you here using the same shitty arguments which had been proven wrong time and time again you just can't help it.

The fact alone that you bring laser problems on the PS3 whjich were extremely rare and not the ones on 360 as well is a joke RROD didn't cover those you double standard is lol worthy.

This is sad.

If we take cheap ass american gamers who didn't want to pay a little more for a PS3,then the PS3 sold what 30 millions or more units than the 360?

Dude your argument is weak product are sold worldwide.

Nobody takes you seriously. Stop posting.

The IGN article literally had to stipulate that certain numbers were estimated.

@lundy86_4: knock knock. Anybody home in that empty skull cavity of yours?? You think this ign article was the first to post PS3 beating the 3shitty???

LOL. Only dumb dumbs like you should stop posting, because you embarrass yourself everytime.

Get rekt

Cows keep kicking on in this thread but are get blocked in every direction, and its fun to watch lol

@pdogg93: Holy shit, your posts devolve further and further. Again, numbers were estimated. I'd be happy to clarify the definition of an "estimate," if you'd like.
