Remember,

this is just the beginning.

The Playstation 3 will continue

to sell systems faster and faster

every month.

Until the end of this gneration.


ogvampire

really? is that why its selling less and less each week in Japan?

yet it still manages to outsell the xbox360! :| also im pretty sure the sales have picked up since mgs4 bundles have sold out over there

have you seen the sales numbers? no, they havent picked up, they are selling less. it was the "limited" edition mgs4 bundle sold out. but they never said how many they sold. if it was a high number, they would have said how many. but since they kept the number of units sold a secret, im guessing its not that many. plus the Wii has been outselling the ps3 by at least 30,000 units each week for 2008

Whatever, The Ps3 Keeps outselling the 360 everywhere and only that matters. The Wii Is is too cheap its impossible for the Ps3 to outsell it.

Never impossible. All Sony has to do now is focus on the Wii since it's rapidly catching up to the X360. They could do it. We just have to wait and watch the Sales Charts.

ok thats fair enough. wii is in its own league at the moment nothing can compare to it. but anyway once msg4 normal bundles release i will gurantee you system sales, software sales will increase and xbox360 will have nothing on ps3 in japan after that

superjim42

yup, i agree. i just think that the ps3 hasnt had many games that cater to the Japanese taste. im sure once those start rolling in plus their big guns (MGS, GT) it should pick up, but not yet. so i find it funny when some people say that ps3 sales have increased, while true in US/Europe, its not so true in japan.

[QUOTE="-Renegade"]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.

Yeah now all of a sudden it doesn't seem so far fetched. Go figure. :D

It would need to sell 6 million more this year, assuming the Xbox 360 won#t sell any more units in 2008, which of course, wion't happen. It's still very far fetched.

ye you are right. the japanese dont have a liking for the various shooters etc etc. they are anticipating mgs4, final fantasy 13, gt5 mainly and once those release you will see a huge difference in terms of software sales, hadrware sales, etc because those three are the main system sellers so far.

The 360 started off with a 5 million lead over the Wii late 2006, and the Wii surpassed it. Nobody is saying the 360 will instantly stop selling. People are saying the PS3 will close the gap, and then surpass the 360 in sells.

well, i think the argument is that some people are claiming that the ps3 will have sold more units lifetime than the 360 THIS year. i would say not this year, but 2009 the ps3 has a good chance of outselling the 360... unless the 360 has a nice price drop

youre forgetting that the ps3 comes with a bluray player so even if the 360 is still cheaper by a small margin the bluray player pretty much balances that out

yes it does seem far fetched at the moment because the ps3 has no killer appz yet apart from gt5p but that dont really count since its a demo. although it has performed very well! but ye to say its impossible would be naive because once the ps3 has released its load i.e. ff13, gt5, mgs4 etc etc. you will definitly see a spike just how xbox360 had its moment of glory when its major games out last year. its the same principal and for people to say the ps3 will not sell is just not a very smart thing to say

Actually, we're both half wrong. It's closer to $80, still closer to hundered dollars than fifty though.

Yes it was reduced by 50 POUNDs STERLING which equals $100.

An Xbox premium can now be had for about the same price as a Wi,if that doesn't boost sales then I doubt anything will.

PS3 is close to the point of outselling Xbox 360 2:1 :lol:

This without MGS4 or GT5. Also, notice lemmings how 360 sales have gotten significantly worse after everyone bought Halo 3?

kingtito

That's right the 360 only outsold the PS3 by over 500k in the US in Dec. Then they had a shortage in Jan and most likely early Feb. Yes the PS3 outsold the 360 for 2 whole months.....WOW VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah lets not forget the PS3 ISN'T selling as a game system but more of a movie player. I would think cows would be upset at this because last time I checked it was SUPPOSED to play games 1st, not the other way around.

Ever since the Wii came out Nintendo has been claiming shortages. Despite that they still are selling like hotcakes. Got another lame excuse?

[QUOTE="E M I N 3 M"]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: SambaLele

Denial, much?

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

Denial about what? If it does that well, good for Sony...but im not sure it will be done. It would have to outsell the X360 pretty dramatically every month til the end of the year. Do you think that will happen? Im not talking by a few thousand units here. You make it sound like X360 doesn't put up decent #'s every month. PffffT Anyways, i guess we'll see which console people choose by May, after the release of GTA. Im calling it right now though, on the months that NG2 & GeOW 2 release, X360 will outsell PS3, indefinately!

And ahhh im a PS3 owner, Samba. Im just not caught up with all the Sony h00pla. I bought a PS3 because it has a winning nex-gen format and once in a while it will have a must-have exclusive. Online, achievements, rumble, better multiplats(95% of the time), media hub etc. Are the reasons i choose to favor my X360. It's a better GAME SYSTEM IMO

What makes you think the PS3 will sell anywhere near the likes of the Wii? :roll: PS3 will close the gap a lil, but it's not surpassing X360 this year...Especially in America PERIOD

I'm not judging you by your post man, but the reasons you listed are mainly the arguments of people who doesn't think of their system as a long-term investment:

most multiplats are indeed better on 360. but you know (i guess almost everyone knows it by now) that EA, Ubisoft and a lot of other devs, in fact each time there are more, are beginning to make the game first on the PS3 and then port to 360. So you can expect multiplats to be slighly better on PS3 from 2008 on...

Games - the biggest PS3 games, even some that were shown in 2005 (E3) are still not out. Once Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, SOCOM, Gran Turismo and Tekken comes out, what the 360 will have to counter those? What are it's games with the same impact as those? Or do you really think that there are as much system sellers coming for the 360? Not to mention the titles meant to realease in 2009.

That's why i said denial. Because believing the 360 is the better console is focusing too much on the *right now* (right now it is the better one, i've always admited that), but it won't take too long for the PS3 to steal 360's position in both aspects, sales and games.

[QUOTE="deebo_x"][QUOTE="ParadiddleFill"][QUOTE="superjim42"][QUOTE="ParadiddleFill"]

and thats with how many price drops and sku liquidations?

ParadiddleFill

xbox360 has had price drops aswell. so whats your point?

a weak 50 dollar price drop

its still cheaper than a PS3 if you compare the cheapest models of both its about 130 dollars cheaper or 50 dollars cheaper than the pro model

youre forgetting that the ps3 comes with a bluray player so even if the 360 is still cheaper by a small margin the bluray player pretty much balances that out

Are you serious? The cheapest standalone blu-ray player other than the PS3 is 400 dollars so how does 50 bucks or even 130 bucks make the PS3 at 399 and the 360 at 349 even?

[QUOTE="E M I N 3 M"]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: SambaLele

Denial, much?

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

Denial about what? If it does that well, good for Sony...but im not sure it will be done. It would have to outsell the X360 pretty dramatically every month til the end of the year. Do you think that will happen? Im not talking by a few thousand units here. You make it sound like X360 doesn't put up decent #'s every month. PffffT Anyways, i guess we'll see which console people choose by May, after the release of GTA. Im calling it right now though, on the months that NG2 & GeOW 2 release, X360 will outsell PS3, indefinately!

And ahhh im a PS3 owner, Samba. Im just not caught up with all the Sony h00pla. I bought a PS3 because it has a winning nex-gen format and once in a while it will have a must-have exclusive. Online, achievements, rumble, better multiplats(95% of the time), media hub etc. Are the reasons i choose to favor my X360. It's a better GAME SYSTEM IMO

Agree to disagree. I haven't liked FF since VII and the only other one im interested in is Tekken. Seriously, not even MGS has the mass appeal that lets say, HALO does. You guys are better off hyping Gran Turismo to move units, IMO. And you're guessing M$ has nothing for 08'-09'. Just because they haven't announced it yet, doesn't mean there are no exclusives or surprises. Lets see what happens @ E3 before everyone goes into a panic about X360 having no games for the next 2yrs...ok? Personally, i believe NG2 & GeOW 2 are already 2 big exclusives for 08'. To each their own i guess? *shrug*

What i do agree with is saying, "X360 is the system of right now". It is the system of right now & for the past 3yrs. In the "long run"....What long run? By the time Sony gets to boast about PS3 surpassing X360, M$ will be talking the next Xbox. Sony poured too much into this long running PS3 to counter M$ in 2010 with a new system. M$ just wanted to solidify themselves in the console race and hardware problems aside, i think they're doing a pretty dam good job!

I didn't quite read it like that but I guess your fanboyish mind made it so. The sad thing is your actually getting a following (much like FriendlyFire did) and no matter how outragious (some if not most) of your claims are people rush to defend you.

I have yet to see you say anything positive about the 360 in any of your post and almost every post you make is a claims about how the PS3 is far superior instead of just enjoying the damn system.

Oh, and FYI (Much like GT3 did) since Metal Gear Solid will be bundled with the PS3 of course it's gonna sell well.

Personally, With MGS4 anf GTA4 Saint's Row 2 The Getaway, GeOW2, ect ect. It's a great year to be an all round "GAMER" Something you can't be if you are buised against a game due to it being on a different system.

I got a few things you could quote, Renegade. PssssH Leave it upto you to come into a thread & take things out of context *SMH* To be quite honest, it completely slipped my mind that them 2 games were coming out the same month. You know why? Cause i could give a left n*t about MGS :lol:

[QUOTE="-Renegade"]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?E M I N 3 M

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.

Yeah now all of a sudden it doesn't seem so far fetched. Go figure. :D

It would need to sell 6 million more this year, assuming the Xbox 360 won#t sell any more units in 2008, which of course, wion't happen. It's still very far fetched.

The 360 started off with a 5 million lead over the Wii late 2006, and the Wii surpassed it. Nobody is saying the 360 will instantly stop selling. People are saying the PS3 will close the gap, and then surpass the 360 in sells.

What makes you think the PS3 will sell anywhere near the likes of the Wii? :roll: PS3 will close the gap a lil, but it's not surpassing X360 this year...Especially in America PERIOD

I would be shocked if PS3 passed 360 this year, and it may be quite some time before it passes in America. PS3 has been selling very well. The only difference now is gamers are buying it since the price drop. The movie buffs arent carrying the sales anymore. All this without ANY of the big gun titles out. With the 2008 lineup, there is no way PS3 doesnt close the gap even further. That being said, the one year exclusive head start 360 had is too much for PS3 to make up this year. I expect it to close the gap by another few million, then pass for good sometime in 2009.
