PS3 sold nearly 400,000 units during the week around twice as many as last year and significantly ahead of Xbox 360 , and with this results I think it only means one thing that in Christmas it will be the same thing, that the ps3 will see a big rise over the 360

UPDATE _ After all it seems that vgchartz was not much wrong this time :twisted:

probably because of all the people that have been sitting on the fence waiting for that sweet spot price to arrive. and the exclusives this holiday and the exclusives coming in spring ain't bad either (they're stellar).

I hate dealing with vgchartz. You want the news so you have something to talk about, but then again sometimes it feels like they make up half their numbers. Reading about the PSP numbers if real is kinda sad when they came out with a new system this year. Then you have the Wii's numbers which were double that of the PS3. Who knows if these numbers are real. Great job for Sony if they are close to being real though.

It may be vgchartz, but it might just be right. Microsoft is really dropping the ball right now, it seens like they just stoped trying to predate on the ps3 because of their confortable position. They're probably betting all their coin into the natal thing, while trying to improve xbox through these stupid things like facebook to keep people interessed, instead of acquiring more exclusives and trying to clean this cheap hardware image.

I'm sure the numbers are off, but the ratio is probably fairly accurate (ie Wii/DS>>>>>>>PS3>>>360>>>>>>>PS2/PSP).

Having an excuse to be annoying is even more annoying.

I don't think its any big suprise that this is the holiday season for ps3 if its gonna have any at all... The Wii and 360 have handily beat the tar out of the ps3 over the holiday season every year its been out. Sony is going for it. It will do well, but I wouldnt expect insane numbers over the 360, and most likely not in the range of the wii.

Well I don't know who considers posting sales numbers annoying but if that's the definiition of being annoying then pretty much everyone in SW is annoying as hell. SW is annoying by default then since we are expected to discuss which system is better here, so if people don't want annoyance they shouldn't post or read posts here.

posting sales numbers is fine, I was commenting on "im being annoying, because you were to me 3 years ago!!! Take THAT!!!" thats kinda annoying... sorry. If people in system wars actually discussed the issue rather than walk around with huge cyber chips on their shoulders than the world would be a much better place.

1. You weren't a poster in SW then. 2. If you want to play the "its their fault game" maybe you should have seen the cows last gen and for the first 18 months of this gen 3. VGchartz guesstimates are often so off that they have no credibility and anyone posting their weekly (let alone their sales from 2 days ago) immediately have their thread fail in most SW posters eyes.

No but I was a human being that used the internet and visited GS from time to time. The PS3 hate was all over the internet, not just SW, leading to such ridiculously fanboy-ish crap like the Sony Defense Force which was actually started by 360/Wii fanboys to make the PS3 look bad.

There was a reason for hating on the PS3 back then. There is no reason to hate on the 360. It's doing just fine.

:3 80k really isn't much at all...especially with all thing considered. New model, price drop, and awesome bundles. D: Overall I think the numbers are kinda weak (except for the Wii and DS.)

I expected more (1.5: 1) considering that the PS3 only does everything, cows say the line-up is light years better than the 360, both systems sell for the same price, and the PS3 had undeniably better bundles.

Can there be a new rule instated into System Wars were linking to VgCharts or quoting them in any way is considered trolling? I really don't see how guessing constitutes real news that only causes fights and trolling

Well I put it like this, if PS3 outsold 360 or even tied it from the Black Friday sales then MS is in a world of hurt. Because all the deals I have been seeing between the two MS had the better ones and if they couldn't outsell the PS3, then it shows people want PS3 more then 360. Personally I think 360's reign over the PS3 is over and it may take a little while, but I think they will eventually pass them in sales also. I estimate about two years tops, Christmas is going to be the bread winner to see who is in control.

Well this does not surprise me as the 360 deals were worse than the PS3 ones. Sure the the 360 one at Best Buy had 6 free games, but all but 1 (Ghost Recon) was shovel ware(one was a Sonic game, and another Walle:?). The PS3 deals had 2 new great games.

Wii doesn't count between the three because it's not a next gen system or on the same page as the 360 and PS3. Wii is in it's own category, but fanboys will say otherwise. Also I really doubt their gimmicky style is going to work with the next system, knowing the big N they will make some other type of gimmicky control and it will flop the second time around, especially if they keep the same graphics and don't go actual next gen.

See people keep saying the had bad deals, but where I stay they had good deals like.... Walmart gave a $50 gift card plus two free games from this list they had and there were good games on that list like Batman, Forza 3, Halo ODST, etc... Then Best Buy had a extra controller, WiFi adapter and two games. Target had a extra controller, $100 gift card and Halo ODST....All of the bundles were for $299, butI guess it depends on where you live how they did their deals.

The 360 bundles has tons of stuff, but I think the 100 dollar mark up made it less appealing than the PS3 bundles, which are essentially throwing in 2 games for free.

I'm doubtful of these numbers. I'm also doubtful the Wii did 800k in a week. VGvhartz is garbage. Can I talk to a mod about having it ban?

No it's not next gen whether you like it or not! There's nothing next gen about it performance wise, all it is is a Gamecube with a motion controller, sorry. That's why it's so cheap to make and make games for, think of it as a Slim Gamecube, but like I said fanboys say otherwise....Thanks for proving my point.
