Hey guys I just looked at VG chartz and the PS3 sold 70,000 more units just this week more than the 360, and my friend that works at bestbuy says that they are sold out at his location, I think a major tide shift has come and there looks to be no rain in the PS3 forecast, BTW this topic is not meant to be flamebait w/e it is simply to discuss how PS3 sales are on the increase so PLEASE DO NOT LOCK THIS TOPIC FOR SIMPLY DISCUSSING SALES, IT DOES NOT BELONG IN SYSTEM WARS BECAUSE I'm NOT TRYING TO BATTLE NOBODY!!!

BTW this topic is not meant to be flamebait w/e it is simply to discuss how PS3 sales are on the increase so PLEASE DO NOT LOCK THIS TOPIC FOR SIMPLY DISCUSSING SALES, IT DOES NOT BELONG IN SYSTEM WARS BECAUSE I'm NOT TRYING TO BATTLE NOBODY!!!SolidSnake1810

So instead of posting it in System wars where it does belong, you post it here where no one will give a damn?

We all know PS3 is great and it sells fine anyway.

vg chartz are rubbish last month when the 360 had a price drop they said it was outselling the ps3 which wasnt the case at all, for long term numbers there ok though as the correct themselves, but week by week you cant take them serious

the ps3 is selling well though now, needs little big planet and another price drop and sales will explode

You're quite the dumbass, aren't you? A continuous increase in sales is good for PS3 fans because the total number of units sold increases. Once the total number of PS3's sold catches up and surpasses the Failbox360, we'll see more third party exclusives and more multi-platform games that are superior to the Failbox versions.

GOOD POINT MATE!

VGchartz has no oficial or credible sources ("some" publishers and "some" retailers, which they multiply by a factor ... how serious is that?)

see my blog entry : http://www.gamespot.com/users/TheTenth10/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=m-100-25491636&tag=all-about;blog1

i thought it was 60k, and last weeks and this weeks numbers arent up yet (except Japan and other), id say the main reason sales are up is cuz the 80gb is 399 and might possibly be confusing some people into buying it thinking it has BC. The more interesting weekly sales numbers will be for the next 4 weeks because of the other recent price cut

we all benefit cuz if the ps3 sells more, then ore devs are willing to make games for the ps3, and we have more ppl to play with online... and this is the short form.

On topic #1 VG Chartz is a joke #2 This thread belongs in SW #3 Why do you care about numbers? The only thing you should really care about is that is sells period. Numbers really shouldn't matter unless you are a stock holder.

Hello Mr. Snake. I do appreciate that you weren't trying to start a fight, but the guidelines of this forum are pretty clear. No mentioning the PS3 and another console in any fashion that compares or contrasts against one another. Please relocate this thread to System Wars if you wish to pursue it. Thank you for your understanding.
