1UP.com say the ps3 is outselling the 360 in a sense

http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3158204

It's a pretty good article definitely worth the read. Basically it's just saying that ps3 isn't failing. its doing normal.

You have to make the cows happyabout something.

Except that it fails to address that consumers now have a choice between the two consoles - they see the PS3 & Xbox 360 on the shelf and can make a decision on which one they'd like, and they are so far choosing the 360.

If this trend continues, if the 360 continues to outsell the PS3 head to head, that speaks a lot louder than comparing the first four months in each console's launch. It shows that people are buying the Xbox 360 over the PS3, and that's good news for Microsoft & bad news for Sony.

Maintaining a slight edge over historical Xbox 360 sales will always leave the PS3 approximately a year behind.

It cannot catch up to Xbox 360, let alone pass it, without beating current sales.  This is a mathematical truism.

Yeah the thing is casuals are starting to think its dead too, hence the plummet of popularity and demand...that's what you should be more concerned about.

Does not matter to developers if it does outsell it, but rather the install base when they release their games, and i do not see PS3 sales getting them there, will always be far behind as it seems, so expect titles like FF13 to jump ship

BTW what does PS3 have to match the sales Mass Effect and Two Worlds will bring in May, or Bioshock, blue Dragon, Elveon, Ovelord in summer, or Lost odyssey, Eternal Sonata, HALO 3 !!!!!!!!!!, Too Human, Fable 2 !!!!! in late2007 ???

That would be nothing !!! All is basedon the assumption that 360 sales will remain low, OF COURSE they are lower ince those games are not out yet, you do realise Halo 3 will make the console FLY ??? Same with Mass Effect to a lesser extend, and all the other games will help vastly too

I forgot that we get Shivering Isles ONLY on 360 tomorrow !!! That would reason enough for 360 to outsell PS3 in March too

50% decrease in sales in the USA from January to February, slow sales in Japan, and the European launch doesn't look good. With no big titled games coming out soo PS3 sales are probably only to drop.

Point is, Mass Effect, Lost Odyssey, Halo 3, Fable 2, Blue Dragon will drive huge sales for 360 in 2007, and Cry On, Alan Wake, Too Human, Infinite Undiscovery early next year

And even if the following games do come to PS3 some day, Eternal Sonata, Bioshock, Two Worlds, Elveon, so far they are still not confirmed or coming to PS3 at all, so they will drive sales too for 360 leaving PS3 even further behind (let aside that i would never buy the WASHED OUT PS3 versions with no color and shadows !!! like Oblivion case)

The only big titles for PS3 this year, 360 gets too, like RE5, Assasins Creed, and DMC4

march was the start of something beautiful for the ps3. wait till home comes out. 360 its over kidse20Dylan

Again doubtful, people aren't going to buy the PS3 for multiplatform games found on the 360. And judging by France, PS3 did not do well in Europe.

Well, I've done a little research by myself and that are the results. Of course this doesn't show any numbers referring on how many are sold, but it gives you quite a glimpse of what the customers buy at the moment.

This destroys any fanboy arguement that has been attempted in this thread. 

360 sold out it's first four months, except in the first four months of 360 launch there was supply issues. There are no supply issues with PS3 and they are still not selling out.rexoverbey

You don't get it. The Supply issues helped with the 360 SELLING OUT.  Sony did a much better job stocking up the PS3, so it selling out was a lot tougher because their were A LOT MORE UNITS. Of course, Sonyis trying to catch up,so this was on purpose.

360 sold out it's first four months, except in the first four months of 360 launch there was supply issues. There are no supply issues with PS3 and they are still not selling out.rexoverbey

If we are looking from the perspective of both consoles both being released at the same time, this would be all well and good. Sony would be riding high at the moment.

But we aren't looking from that perspective. The 360 has been out a year longer, it has 10 million units out there, with a very high attach rate for games on their console and a second generation of games coming out. Not only that, the PS3 will be waiting until 2008 for its landmark titles to come out, whereas the 360 has already had one huge title, and Halo 3 is now on the horizon.

Companies, like Capcom, look for what systems are doing well now, they don't subscribe to "oh if the consoles had both come out at the same time, this one would be doing better," because that's not how they will make money from their games.

Yes, the PS3 is selling better than the 360. In a sense. But does that really matter in the grand scheme of things?
