How has the PS3 outsold the X360?

PS3, 1.5 million sold, 360= 10.5 million sold.

That's comparing a 1 year old console to a brand new console, a 13 month old console to a 1 month old console, a 14 month old console to a 2 month old console, a 15 month old console to a 3 month old console, and a 16 month old console to a 4 month old console. By the way, you do know the PS3 will outsell the X360 for the month of March, right? You better be prepared for it.KeyWii

Actually it's 2M for the PS3 and 9.6M for the 360.... and the TC's point is that the PS3 reached 2M a lot quicker with LESS games. No matter whether or not you'd like to admit it, you know that's not good news for the 360 in a console war... this won't be the first time that a Sony console has come from behind for the win.

How many hours can we go without a PS3/360 outsell thread? I think it a case of...

    Here KeyWii, since you obviously want to see things your way, as evidenced by the massive amounts of times you have pulled this garbage arguement out, I will show you why it is flawed at the very least.
    1. The Xbox 360 had some momentum at launch, but it was still rather tepid since a majority of gamers were still waiting to see what Sony and Nintendo had in store for the next gen of gaming before they spent $400 on a system.
    2. The Xbox 360, at least in the US, had very small shipments until at least Feb 2006 due to manufacturing and the worldwide launch.
    3. The Xbox had a userbase of 23 million or so users worldwide. Not many of Sony's 120 million were ready to leap to a 360 until they knew what Sony was going to do.

    The PS3, on the other hand, had the benefit of massive amounts of hype at the gate, and the public knew exactly what Nintendo and Microsoft were offering for their "next gen" systems.
    The PS3 also had stock in stores by middle Jan, and then did not have to worry about product going to Europe that would lessen US supplies.
    And the PS3 follows a system with a userbase at least 3 times as large as the Xbox.
   
    And yet, since the PS3's launch, the Xbox 360 has continually outsold it during the same time frame. Not launch to launch, but right here, right now, day to day. They are on equal footing now, and the PS3 cannot outdo the 360.

No matter which site you look at, the PS3 is selling units at a faster pace with less games

[QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"][QUOTE="KeyWii"][QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"] And where are those "stronger sales"? Going to the Wii? Some to the 360?
KeyWii

Yes but the comparison is still considered lopside since the PS3 had more units on the market at launch than the X360 a.k.a. Sony supplied the demand whereas MS didn't. You couldn't find an X360 for months anywhere but if you wanted a PS3 in december all you had to do is walk to your nearest store. Supply and demand is the name of the game.

[QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"][QUOTE="KeyWii"][QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"]It has not outsold the 360 anywhere but Japan. Not in total sales, not in US sales, and not in European sales.KeyWii

I do expect the PS3 to outsell the 360 next month because it is launching in Europe and Australia in March. So when the PS3 does outsell the 360 on a month to month basis, only then will it be alright with the cows to compare. Correct?aDDiKt24

Not necessarily. If demand is 1 million consoles but you only supply 600,000 units................... the demand is not fulfilled regardless of territory. What makes matters worse is that more consoles were supplied to territories where there was clearly less demand. Both these situations account for the reason why comparing the X360 or Wii launch to the PS3 is lopsided since the Sony supplied many more units than actual demand but the others didn't.

People are smart when it comes to money. And people know they got screwed if they bought an Xbox, meanwhile, their investment into the PS2 was very worthwhile. This trust goes a long way into the success of the PS3 and the slow and steady decline of the 360.KeyWii

PS3 fanboys repeat what Sony tells them blindly.
