How has the PS3 outsold the X360?

• X360 launched in NA in Nov. of 2005.
• X360 Launched Europe and Japan in December of 2005.
• X360 Launched in Argentina and Mexico on February 2nd, 2006.
• X360 launched in South Korea on February 24th, 2006.

• PS3 launched in Japan and NA in Nov of 2006.

X360 has absolutely squandered its 1-YR lead. I don't know how on Earth the PS3 has outsold the X360 going from the same launch-to-date time frames.

• X360 launched in NA in Nov. of 2005.

• X360 Launched in Argentina and Mexico on February 2nd, 2006.
• X360 launched in South Korea on February 24th, 2006.

• PS3 launched in Japan and NA in Nov of 2006.

Can anyone explain how the PS3 has out paced the X360? PS3 being in 4 less territores. PS3 being more expensive. And PS3 with arguably only 1 stand out game.

Flawed logic from the OP.  There were many potential buyers that did not buy an Xbox360 at launch because they were waiting for the PS3 around March 2006. When Sony failed to meet that goal, some people decided 'why wait' and bought an Xbox 360.  Then when the PS3 came out in Nov 2006, many people thought it was too expensive and didn't have enough great games, so they bought either a Wii or a Xbox 360 instead. So where does that leave the OP?  The Xbox 360 is selling better than the PS3 when it counts. That is NOW!!! Not a year ago or at launch when the PS3 was not launched yet and many people were waiting to see how it would stack up. 

The OP simply failed to account for gamers that put off buying a console because they wanted a PS3. But a year into the Xbox360 launch it has more games and the PS3 costs an arm and a leg. People's eyes are opening and momentum is clearly better in both the Wii and Xbox360 than it is with the PS3. Particularly in the US market.

Actually we're seeing the momentum shift to the Wii & PS3 in the US market. The PS3 costs $200 more than the x360 and doesn't even have 1/4 of the games it does yet.... and yet the 360 only outsold the PS3 by less than 50k in Jan. No one was expecting that and quite a few sites were surprised with how quickly the PS3 is gainnig traction.

Perhaps you've already forgotten last gen when both Halo & Halo 2 failed to crush the competition. The problem with Microsoft has always been that they have a gang of mediocre games with just a few hits... and most of their hits are all shooters with maybe 3-4 exceptions. They haven't changed their formula very much and are going to see similar results this gen.

Whatever helps you sleep better at night I suppose. I don't know why you hate the Xbox 360 so much. Either way, it's ahead in worldwide sales. Comparing sales from different time frames is kind of a weak argument but go ahead if it makes you feel better about any predicament in question. Puckhog04
