Just because they won 1 month its the OMG the 360 is doomed. Well listen right here. If the PS3 is to overtake the 360 by middle 2009 by 500, 000 units each month. HA! Have a nice day cows!360wiiPS3gamer
yes, but this is world wide, and you can't just use npd numbers because they don't represent the bigger picture...
there are analyst groups that predict EU sails but they do it by country and not as one big market so you have to calculate them together afterwords... and I know vgchartz is a no no on this site but they actually get there EU numbers from those analyst.

No they dont. :|
VGChartz is simply a piece of code which counts upwards in line with recent sales trends. And it frequently get it's wrong; the biggest mistake being 800,000 units being shaved off the Wii figures, and 150,000 on the PS3.
[QUOTE="Floppy_Jim"]It's been beating the 360 worldwide for a few months now. It outsold it by 300,000 WW in January so overtaking it by summer 2009 is certainly possible. Ninja-Vox

yea but npd is not world wide is it...

NPD is NA only. Europe and Japan could easily make up for the other 250,000.

True enough.
Not to mention, NA was the last refuge for the 360. If the PS3 really is overtaking the 360 there for a continued period, maybe the 360 is in more trouble than we think.

Lemmings said that the PS3 would never outsell the 360 in North America. Something along the lines of that anyway. Then it finally happened...in the first month of 2008. I think cows have a right to claim ownage since lemmings were rather profound in their arrogance so what comes around, goes around.

It is rather simple, the difference is 8 million units
To just REACH 360 numbers by june 2009, would need to outsell 360 each month for 15 months x 467.000 = 7 million
So, indeed PS3 need to sell about 500.000 more / month, EACH month for 15 months, to just reach 360 numbers

More like 7 million.
June 2009 is 16 months away, so its about 400,000 units more a month. Last month it outsold it by 300,000, so you have to admit, its possible.

PS3 outsold 360 in Japan by 200 000 in January. Vgcharts estimates that it outsold 360 by almost another 200 000 throughout the rest of the world. I dont trust vgcharts but they do tend to underestimate ps3 sales frequently and i wouldnt be suprised if the numbers were higher.[QUOTE="Floppy_Jim"]It's been beating the 360 worldwide for a few months now.

360 is ahead 7 million. PS3 is at 10.5m and 360 is at 17.7m.[QUOTE="saolin323"][QUOTE="Floppy_Jim"]It's been beating the 360 worldwide for a few months now. It outsold it by 300,000 WW in January so overtaking it by summer 2009 is certainly possible. Floppy_Jim

Last month it was also the Holiday season.If the PS3 overtakes the 360 by lets say early summer 2009 as a lemming my hat will be off to Sony. But since I've had my 360 since winter 2006 I'll have had 2 and a half great years with my 360 and will likely know the name and release date of the next Xbox by then. So MS will have enjoyed a couple of years of solid profits in its gaming division, taken a very nice chunk of the overall sales pie, and have turned things around. All of this is hypothetical of course as the PS3 might not overtake the 360 at all or later into 2009 Whatever, lol. All I know is that for me the last 2 and a half years of 360 games have been the best gaming I've ever had and I've been gaming since the Genesis. I hope PS3 owners are enjoying their systems as much too.
One last topic. Japan will be the number 1 reason why the PS3 gets past the 360if it does at all. The PS3 doesn't kill the 360 in Europe the way the 360 usually does the PS3 in America. But in Japan MS can't sell a system if it came with free money, lol. So for Sony they can outsell the 360 worldwide every month because of Japan.

Not that I am arguing that the PS3's going to overtake 360's sales any time soon, you kind of have to take into account the world, not just NA :roll:

I'm still guessing summer 2009 though.

1. Cows talking about arrogance is to laced with irony to even need to point out.2. You call Lems arrogant for touting 13 months of success, yet give cows free reign for 1 month of success.
3. The Xbox outsold the PS2 a few times in January and February...mostly because excellent holiday sales strained supply AFTER the holidays. Remember the PS3 is still down 350,000 consoles+ when you go back simply to the PRIOR MONTH.
4. Cows, if you want to get all cocky this month, beware, the largest crow ever in being born as we speak and many will revel in shoving it down your throat if this trend is short lived.

Right, because the MS is not going to sell not one 360 through 2009. I don't think you understand the sustained rate of selling the PS3 has to do to accomplish this. The 360 is at least 7 million units ahead of the PS3, it would have to sell at the rate of the Wii to accomplish that. Good luck with that one mate.[QUOTE="Hexagon_777"][QUOTE="360wiiPS3gamer"]Just because they won 1 month its the OMG the 360 is doomed. Well listen right here.

its cheaper than a ps3 at $349, and Toshiba's first Blu-Ray effort is rumored to be around $250, HD-DVD and Blu-Ray use the same laser, they have some of those I'm sure.
video game machines have never been sold, or generally bought for thier movie playing ability alone, and I don't see things changing.
Microsoft also confirmed shortages in supply for January, and that can easilly be verified by checking www.amazon.com, the premium bundle is over, and the Elite too, and as they said it will be only March when they pick up again
But after that, PS3 fate is again as stake

The standalone Blu-ray players out now cant be updated. The PS3 can.

1. I hope you didn't just call me a cow. :lol:
2. Lemmings are the cows of this generation. Additionally, the Wii has been successful to the extreme yet sheep have to defend it from lemmings and cows at every corner. What you say should apply to the Wii as well.
3. Cool.
4. It's fun watching cows and lemmings duke it out while sheep and hermits sit back and watch. Keep it up.

its funny that ms didnt report shortages until right before the NPD report was released. I sure as hell didnt see any shortages of 360s last month. And there arent any shortages on circuit city.com or bestbuy.com . And no other retailer reported shortages last month, so if there were shortages they were minimal, if you wanted a 360 in january, you could find one.
