Bad news for Ps3 fans.

Just so every one knows this is not a troll or me flaming the PS3 I'm actually a big Sony fan all I own is a PS3. But anyways I was listening to today's on the spot 12/4/07 and it seems that black Friday was a huge hit while PS3 did get its share of sells on black Friday the big sells came from the Wii and 360 the 360 selling 310,000 consoles as the Wii sold 350,000 consoles and if they had a larger shipment it would of sold more. Just as things where kicking up for Sony another waterfall effect has came are way for the complete sales of the console and the numbers worldwide.

All you own is a PS3?

...Thats not biased at all.

box is in the high 13 millions now after black friday and wii is close very close to 14 million while ps3 is pushing 6mil no way the ps3 will ever catch the wii and for the 360 every one in america gets it 360 owns america world wide it isnt doing good the ps3 will get better in time but like wheezal said its never going to catch either console.Nolan16

Well you also have to remember we got 6 years to go or so. And a few may reach 100 million. So 7 million ahead, do to a early start, is not that hard to catch over that long of a period. Thats like one world wide system seller and its tied. If they stay on this pace they should be tied around Mid 2009. Now if the PS3 gets a surge from GT 5, God of War, and FF 13, and MGS4. It could be sooner.

Well, i worked 13 hours on Black Friday at Best Buy, and I can tell you that the majority of gaming consoles being sold were PS3s....you really have nothing to worry about. Oh, and we get about 10x more Xbox returns than PS3 returns at Customer service, which means we have to give the customer a brand new one off the shelf when they return it. which means we pay microsoft to put another console on our shelves, even though its just a replacement. the xbox numbers cannot be trusted. with 1 out of 3 failing, xbox is gonna go through more consoles than the PS3.

Dude, PS3 is doing just as well as xbox did on its first year of sales. It's sold just as many units in one year when put on paper. We aren't talking about some neo geo-3do-virtual boy system, this is a top runner in the industry. Of course it hasn't beaten the other two yet, the wii is dirt cheap and the 360 had a head start.

Just look at how many PS2 systems were sold over the course of 7 years (120million), and then tell me that the PS3 will never catch up. The wii is the only system with the potential of crushing PS3 with regards to sales, and it's not even a next gen system. Some have even speculated that it is merely a fad and will stabilize sometime in the near future. There is no threat from the Xbox whatsoever, both systems will do well this generation.

Your thread failed at trying to spin it. The numbers are increasing slowly for each consoles. There is a link on that page that says where the numbers come from...

Where do the numbers come from?

The console sales numbers you see on the front page of NexGen Wars are estimates, and are not intended to represent exact, down to the minute sales as only Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony know the exact sales figures of their respective consoles. What we do here at NexGen Wars is compile numbers from NPD, Media Create, ChartTrack, as well as various other sources. We then take these numbers and, based on past sales trends, extrapolate the numbers out to give as close to real-time estimates as possible. Again, these are only estimates, but we are confident in our ability to bring you accurate and unbiased sales figures. Not only do we extrapolate the numbers out so they don't lag months behind with the official sales numbers, but we also update the numbers when new official numbers have been released to keep our estimates as accurate as possible.

holy crap..

the topic name scared the gizz outa me. i thought it was going to say they stopped making games for it..i would of shot someone..

I hear you man. I had a 360, a Pro bundle one... And within the week I had the red ring... I set the money aside, and got the Elite, because I had heard the red ring was supposedly taken care of... Two days worth of playing and I got the Red Ring again... I've had my PS3 since it came out and I haven't had a single problem with it. I've had internet problems... but that was because my router was on it's last limb... I wouldn't have minded having both systems, but I don't know about the 360 anymore... The way I see it there's not enough exclusives on the 360 that interest me. Everything that does I can get on PS3... and I'm digging the PS3 exclusives much more.... If I hadn't already had a PS3, Uncharted would have sold it for me.

And yeah, when I took the elite back to Best Buy, they told me that about a third of the 360's sales were because of replacements. Supposedly when it leaves the shelf, it counts as a sale towards Microsoft.... I'm not saying that PS3's never fail, but if from my experience I had two 360's in a row fail within the same month... and I've had my PS3 for a year and not had any problems... I think that's pretty good in comparison. And the clerk at Best Buy said that out of all the PS3's they sold during that year, he could count the number of returns on one hand.

Waiting for official numbers...

So where's the bad news? I thought you was about to post something like all devs will stop making games for the PS3 or that PSN will crash. How is this bad news forPS3 fans?Some of you are too caught up with the sales figures.mrvic87

lol...Apples and oranges!!!

It doesnt matter for Sony wether the PS3 sells well now, because they are making more than enough to keep going with the PS2 anyway!They are getting a vaslty superior technoilogy on th emarket now, so that in a few years when the ful potential of bluray finally begins to be used the other systems will lag behind in performance!

Just so that we understand perfectly you are a troll, and a bad one at hiding at that, I own both PS3 and 360, and I do not call myself a PS3 fanboy, but recently I only play games on PS3 beside the only exception that is Mass Effect.

There are quite a few point I can say about your post:

1) Despite lacking serious system pusher like Wii's SMG and 360's Halo3 and Mass Effect in recent month, PS3 is gaining ground on both system and as matter of fact already suprass 360 both in Europe and Japan area. Let's face it, America is the only holy ground 360 is holding, and it's falling apart at that already fallen behind Wii.

2) Line up for 360 is lacking in the following year. Most of major titles being released for 360, beside NG2, will see port to PS3 as well. I donno about you, but that would certainly help PS3 a lot more then 360, now that the price point for both system isn't as sharply as it was 2 months ago.

3) Heavenly Sword and Uncharted, while being loved by PS3 community, aren't that unique and popular among the none-PS3 holders. That will seriously change when the big hitter comes arond next year with release of MGS4, FF13, White Knight Story, Killzone 2, and hopefully GoW3.

I once said 360 will die with release of Halo 3. It's turning out to be true so far.

[edit] oh yeah, using nextgenwar as reference instead of NDPOR's montly report, even at least vgchartz, shows your total ignorence of the current gaming market and trusted report.

Every time I go into a gaming store I see people all over the PS3s, playing them or buying them. I'd say I see about a 1 to 1 ratio of 360 to ps3 sales when I go into stores. And when I look at stock on the shelf I've been seeing the same thing... usually 2 360s on the shelf and 2 ps3 40 gbs on the shelf since Thanksgiving. I'll see one guy come in and pick up a 360 and then see another guy right behind him pick up a ps3. And the store clerks will say they are both selling very well.... this is in Los Angeles BTW. But usually the game kiosk that is being played is PS3 and there is more interest from customers around PS3 from what I've been seeing.

And when you consider that the PS3 is generally more expensive and is still selling as well as it does, then PS3 fans should know all is well. World wide the PS3 is beating 360 in sales... only in the U.S. does 360 beat PS3.

box is in the high 13 millions now after black friday and wii is close very close to 14 million while ps3 is pushing 6mil no way the ps3 will ever catch the wii and for the 360 every one in america gets it 360 owns america world wide it isnt doing good the ps3 will get better in time but like wheezal said its never going to catch either console.Nolan16

The only problem with that number is a third of them probably got returned to MS so they actually only sold 8.67 million.:D

On from what Solaris1979, I have both too, and I play my PS3 only, the only time I've played my xbox is Halo 3...which is terrible in every single way and mass effect is just alright on the occasional play. I alsojust love the pure crisp graphics of the ps3 compared to the 360...and I bet one of the leading reasons it does so well is that a lot of kids buy it since they care about getting "good" games now, when the ps3 is going to have really fun ones in a year or so, as well as they think that it has superior technology and in most parts of both it's not true.
