The interesting question then is, are 360 year-over-year sales increasing faster than the PS3's? The answer is an emphatic no, in all regions. That means the PS3 is on-track to outselling the 360 by an even larger amount this fiscal year unless something changes.

Also I just realised your link isn't actually sales data, it's anecdotal reports from a single retailer. :/

Again, why does it need to? To appease fanboys?

Hypothetically lets say the PS3 does catch up to the X360. They needed basically an entire region to themselves (Japan) to make it happen with 5X the install base last generation. No matter what happens, Sony was outplayed hard this generation. Imagine if RROD happened to PS3 instead of X360. Woulda been an absolute massacreshadow8585

It depends if where talking Europe or UK. Europe I think PS3 outsells it overall. I think UK might be kinda more towards 360 a little bit, while 360 is heavily NA and PS3 is heavily JP. Really, sales are sales, so why does it matter? why are American sales more important then Europe sales?

X360 outsold the PS3 by 40,000 units on the May NPD.

X360 S releases in June and sells out everywhere.

The majority of sales left this gen are going to be to casuals (Madden, COD, GTA players) and casuals like the lower-priced, less-accesorized, more gamer-orientated X360.

If you disagree, explain to me how/why/what is going to happen to cause the PS3 to somehow pass the X360 in sales this gen

Sorry TC:

NPD =/= World

how about you learn that NPD is only north american sales. worldwide the ps3 beats 360. nice try though

me from 2005 to 2008: idc that the 360 will be in last place it's still a good system and i enjoy it.

me from 2009 til now: idc that the ps3 will be in last place it's still a good system and i enjoy it.

popularity does not concern me the games i get to play do.

anyway as i have said a zillion times before caring about the battle for 3rd place behind pc and wii seems a bit silly.

Microsoft's console last generation: distant second place.

Microsoft's console this generation: distant second place.

Fanboys will be proud of anything, I guess.

ok seriously what's up with all this worldwide crap? people keep saying this and they NEVER back it up :| Seriously does anyone here use their head and say "oh can you back that up with some facts?" I will gladly accept ownage if someone can just show me some freaking legit FACTS!

/rant

but err umm TC anything is possible :P

Still feeling butthurt over the Wii outselling the 360 by over 100k, I'm assuming?

Seriously, don't ignore the Wii if you're going to mention sales figures in this matter.
