OK, these are weekly sales..which can obviously change by months end. So to make the title "ps3 outselling 360" can be misleading. Maybe wait until the whole month is taken into consideration.

I think this is because of a shortage of 360's that occured for about two weeks. I work at Best Buy and our store along with the whole district didn't have 360's. I'm guessing it was a widespread thing, i am in the Los Angeles area so don't say i probably live in a small town or city. This most likely hurt sales for the 360 because we sell a pretty good amount of 360's on a daily basis. I'm probably gonna get someone to tell me that it won't hurt sales that bad or i'm flaming etc but this is honestly the truth. Just got a shipment of them earlier this week after about a two to three week period of not having them.

It's actually already the 2nd week in a row, but yeah, this really doesn't mean much so far.

True - but I really think things will turn around for PS3, too many great games coming. August is a good month for PS3 owners with Warhawk, GRAW2, Lair which will continue month after month for awhile it seems.

Hopefully Sony announces a PS3 pricedrop in PAL and in Japan, that will spark a huge increase in sales.

Yes the PS3 is outselling the 360 but will that last after the $100 cheaper 60GB version of the PS3 runs out of stock?

Do you expect Sony to keep the PS3 at 599$? The 80gb model is a bundle, Sony will offer a standalone version... and I'm willing to bet that standalone version will appear right about the same time the 60Gb runs out, and for 499$. And I have absolutely ZERO proof this is happening other than the fact it is the only logical thing I can see happening. Sony wants to expand the userbase, they talked about this at E3 - I really don't think they'd take a step backwards like that.\

Some analysts also believe the same... http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=26751

If we are talking about rumor then some other analysts believe ..http://www.gamespot.com/news/6173837.html .

The 360 price cut is coming at the start of August so that will boost the 360 sales like it did with the PS3.

VGChartz os a very reliable site. Yeah, it may be approximations but soare NPD and ChartTrack. Whatsmore, they change the data slightly when NPD data is released to make the numbers more accurate.

Also, the GPU in the PS3 is not weaker, but it isn't as modern as the 360 processor. Meaning that theoritically the PS3 GPU is (as you would say) supreme, but the developers will find it easier to make the most out of the 360 GPU. Anywho, the cell makes up for it more than enough.

console should be judged this time next year...by then with home out and many games the ps3 will easily beat the x box not to mention the fact that in asia the xbox is avoided like the plague.

The important thing to take away from this is that Sony has a chance to break 4 million users next week. Finally!

To bad the xbots are gonna look at it and say OH WOW ONLY THAT MUCH LOOK AT THE TOTALS blah blah blah lolfistoflight

U got 2 remember that about less than half of xbox360 owners brought 2 or 3 xbox 360 because their old ones got the Red Ring Of Death (RROD) so in reality, there will be less xbox360's around than the total because all those figures r based in retail sales

Actually, VGChartz records total numbers sold, not repaired. The number sold is very similar to the one shown on that site.

It's been proved so many times that I thought that I wouldn't even need proof to back my statement. PS3s GPU is supreme, deal with it xbot. U know that PS3s GPU is supreme, so just leave the PS3 boards.

PS. 2 bad I can't even report u since the mods won't do athing to get rid of xbots... It's futile, maybe I should come trolling xbox forums... Like I would. I am not that immature.

That really proves your statement when you say "its been proved so many times".

I know the PS3has most powerfull specs butwith the existing line up of game the PS3 still has to prove itself.I own a PS3 and 360 so i don't have a blindfanboy point of veiw and take one side.

P.S. Report me if you want. Who cares?If you think asking for facts instead of just being a fanboy is immature thenthat your problem to work out. Thanks i got a good giggle out of your message.

Sorry to the person who started this thred as i have been going a wee bit off topic. I have been keeping the topic alive so it not all that bad.
