only 7 million to go;)Mad_Rhetoric

6 in fact.

And don't worry. If it managed to outsell the 360 by more than a million units in 2007 (when 360 had it's golden lineup, it'll hardly have any other such as good), with *no games*, now that the games are coming it'll outsell it even faster... that's only logical.

you can open the links and calculate yourself, believe me, it's not that hard, it took me like 20 minutes.

good stuff. nearly 1 million units into 2008 already with no real big exclusive games to arrive on ps3 yet. this is going to be a good year for ps3 gamers. where are all those people who were betting against sony now?-Renegade

Didn't you get laughed at by Casey for saying that the PS3 would pass the 360 in world wide sales by the end of this year...? it seems like it might be possible now.

and thats with how many price drops and sku liquidations?

i don't know but that's with more than 100 bucks spent on XBL by lemmings.

that doesnt make any sense just to let you know

Who cares Sony did what they had to do to stay in the competition. Not that it matters since finishing in 2nd isn't really an achievement.

for some reason that icon is blank for me and i can't click on it. i usually write the site between , that code usually works pretty fine.

Anyway, this is getting off topic, please keep the discusion on topic people.

I though everyone would be more surprised by the numbers. It's only been 3 months... in fact, NPD for march isn't even there and there's already such a discrepancy.

hmm.. i hope ps3 can surpass 360 sales..if it doesnt surpass the 360 i say it will happen with the first couple months of 2009

that just goes to show that the ps3 is the better system. people were/are just waiting for the price to drop.

huge numbers will come from europe with the ps3 now gt5p has come out, and with metal gear 4, killzone 2, LBP, haze, socom and more coming out this year the gap will be closed by end of 08bigLLL

yes, i expect the PS3 to reach 360's install base by the end of 2008. these numbers prove it's not just possible, it's also logical. one year makes a lot of difference.

So far those numbers are for three months except for U.S. March sales which won't be known until next month. U.S. march sales won't be much of a difference between either the PS3 or 360 so if the PS3 continued to outsell the 360 by about 1 million units every three months for the rest of the year then the PS3 will close within 3 million units of the 360, but considering that none of the big titles have come out yet, the PS3 may very well catch up or pass 360 total sales by the end of the year.deebo_x

well... these first months are always the slowest on the year. also, there wasn't any big game launchs. so sales are expected to reach even better levels.

HAHAHA

Lemmings don't understand that npd doesn't = world sales yet they act like npd are the only numbers that matter and continuously brag about 360 outselling ps3 and how bad its doing, yet the ps3 outsold the 360 last year and will sell double the 360's sales this year. I'm sorry to say lems but au/nz, Japan , EU are ps3's territory.

Wait...You c0ws think PS3 will outsell X360 overall this year? So basically you believe X360 sales will come to a complete hault & only PS3 will move units? Bahahahahahaha O-K :lol: E M I N 3 M

Denial, much?

The numbers are there, and that's only the slow start.

It's amazing! I dont know why so many ppl are buying the PS3?!! Well.. even I have one, but there aren't that many games, especially in the RPG department.

If the big hitter like MGS4 and LBP are released and they do deliever the promises (because so far, it has been pretty dissapointing), then xbox will have to move on to the "next gen", especially with their warranty starting to expire at the end of this year.

I want to buy a 360 to play Lost Oddysea, but the hardware problems keep me away from it.

lol very much, its clear that the ps3 has the better sales and as said the gap is only going to get bigger with the big titles not so far away.

fact: no one likes MS anymore.r_gam3

indeed

I like how the cows forget about the several factors for the slow 360 sales, but then they come up with excuses like the one year headstart crap. Shortages, RROD, lack of a big price drop, no Blu-ray (yet). The ps3 already has an advantage in each of those aspects. So like some cow's will say "the ps3 beat the 360 with no games", the 360 is still winning without all of the things i mentioned. Imagine when the 360 get all of its problems sorted out?

Actually, in the UK, the Xbox 360 Arcade has been dropped in price majorly so it is cheaper than the Wii by a good measure.

Well I have both the ps3 and 360 and I play the ps3 the most because of free online, contoller preference and 360 hardware problems. I figured the less I play my 360 the longer it will last so far its been about 7months no problems. I haven't really touched it in about a month I've played all the big titles and exclusives already and I play all multiplats on the ps3 and only use the 360 for its exclusives. The next game I'm getting for the 360 is lost odyssey.

You should go ahead and get a 360 and just play exclusives on it will allow it to last longer.
