NPD July 2012 Results: One Xbox to Rule Them All (Complete hardware numbers)

Never understood why the Xbox is selling more. Do people really want to pay for XBL and having no games except Halo, Gears and Forza?! :|

GamerwillzPS

most multiplats are superior on 360, the controller is much better suited to the majority of games, the online service is better (even though its at a premium).

It's true that the 360 is the strongest when it comes to multiplats. That's it. Nothing else.

Xbox Live fees completely takes away a good reason to purchase the console, nobody wants to pay for a service that is free else where and is as good. Xbox Live is not better than other services. They're the same.

Better controller? Hell no. It's probably the worst controller to ever exist.

Another thing go ahead and bring up how poorly the 360 does in Japan more often because it only makes the PS3 sales look worse. The 360 is treated like the plague in Japan and even without a major area for the 360 the PS3 still can not catch up.

I will be the first to say, as a US citizen, we got some BAD taste. :xbbkkristian

whats up with the rebirth in dead island?

[QUOTE="tormentos"][QUOTE="CanYouDiglt"]Well obviously most people think the PS3 is the worst system hence the PS3 being in last place since 2006 when it launched. Also why lie about the games things when you even know the PS3 has the least amount of games of all systems.sts106mat

[QUOTE="GamerwillzPS"]

[QUOTE="sts106mat"]obviously they do. even with free online, the ps3 cannot compete.

What do you mean thats it? Multiplats take up the majority fo every consoles library, and the fact that the 360 excells in that area proves it has the superior library to the PS3. Thats a pretty good reason to own a console if you ask me.

Xbox Live isn't available elsewhere for free. PSN is free, but its dogshlt in comparison. If you're happy with your third world online, then fine. I prefer to use a service thats unified, allows me to communicate with my friends in ways other services lack, and a service that isn't taken down basically every fuking thiursday for maintenance.

And its a fact that the 360 controller is better ergonomically. The dualshock is outdated in design, its pathetic fanboys will defend something so lazy.

Superior multiplats with online being locked out unless I pay for Xbox Live? No thanks, I'd take a PS3 any day. Hell, some multiplats are better on PS3!

Communicate with friends on Xbox Live in ways that other services lack? You've got to be kidding... It's just the same as PS3. Message boxes with a text layout on the screen... Just the same, and yet Lems are paying for it! :lol:

Third world online service on PS3? What's the difference between PSN and XBL? Very very little. Not worth the money you're paying for Xbox Live.

DualShock outdated design? Why do you think Sony is still using the same design? Because it's the best, and PS fans don't want it to change, and they all approved it since PS1. No need to change the design. It's perfect.

Well, I'm deaf so voice messaging is pointless. Nowadays most people prefer to communicate by text anyway.

[QUOTE="GamerwillzPS"]

[QUOTE="sts106mat"] Fail - does PSN allow voice messaging? party chat? its not the same.sts106mat

Well, I'm deaf so voice messaging is pointless. Nowadays most people prefer to communicate by text anyway.

Completely deaf. I was hearing when I was born and gone seriously ill (nearly died), so I lost my hearing.

Not surprised about Arkham City. Dark Knight Rises gave me such Batman boner than I've already replayed Arkham City and I'm halway through Arkham Asylum.

[QUOTE="GamerwillzPS"]

[QUOTE="sts106mat"] well if you are deaf, then obviously its better for you. are you completely deaf, or just hard of hearing? sts106mat

Completely deaf. I was hearing when I was born and gone seriously ill (nearly died), so I lost my hearing.

I'm very happy with my life, so it's all good. My hearing just go silent when I take my hearing aids off.

I'm wearing hearing aids, so I can hear but I can't hear the speech when people talk so I have to rely on lip reading and note taking. I have my TV volume up when playing games since I like to hear things like gunfire, explosions, etc, and when characters in the game are talking, I have to read the subtitles.

Please MS is on a distant second from first place almost tied with the PS3..lol.. Got to love fan boys who actually think that 67 million is actually worth bragging over 64 milliontormentos

Hmmm. I guess there was an update to the numbers. Last time I looked, the gap between 360 and PS3 was 5 million. Now, it's down to 3 million.

Great news for the "dying" Xbox 360. I hope next month we see #1 and #2 games belonging to Darksiders 2 and Sleeping Dogs. though I highly doubt they'd beat Mario out. Only an annual income of 14.5 billion? Oh you poor babies.

I would normally take this time to remind cows that the Xbox 360 has destroyed the epic fail that is ps3 17 months in a row, but I'm going to make a different statement. The ps3 and 360 need price drops ASAP. Sales are going down the crapper. 6-7 years into this gen and we still have premium consoles that cost 250-300. They should all be 149 by now. The high price is bringing down the industry. todd2r

xbox FTW!ghidorah45

Getting screwed by Microsoft FTW!

looks like the dark knight rises has helped Arkham City to pick up steam again.ujjval16

The PS3's monster sales in both Europe and Japan help us "cows" sleep easy. :cool: :P

GamingGod999

I keep hearing about these Monster sales from the moment the PS3 and Wii launched, when MS had just shipped 10 million consoles but sold a little over half of that , in fact MS stopped production for a while to get rid of the stock .

Six years of "just wait" and " The Worldwide Sony sales " ...............

Pathetic !

The use of emoticons, a cheeky meme and the term "monsterious sales" were not enough for you to pick up on my sarcy/humorous attitude?

Spoken like someone in last place. You try to minimize the difference between 3rd and 2nd meanwhile you know damn well you would love the positions to change. Also you try to act like the PS3 will pass the 360 any day now but guess what we all have heard that type of wishful thinking from you Sony fanboys for 6 years now and still the PS3 is in last place. Face it the PS3 has been the last place console the entire time and it is not changing.Another thing go ahead and bring up how poorly the 360 does in Japan more often because it only makes the PS3 sales look worse. The 360 is treated like the plague in Japan and even without a major area for the 360 the PS3 still can not catch up.CanYouDiglt

Xbox 360 = Last place in games. :cool:

[QUOTE="CanYouDiglt"]

[QUOTE="tormentos"] Actually no both the 360 and PS3 loss at least i am not fanboy enough to act like second mean something,it means nothing last gen when the xbox beat the Gamecube by 5 millions. And now it it keeps meaning nothing the xbox 360 loss,even that it had a 1 year head start over every one,and is in second place less than 3 million units away from 3rd,both failed and loss there is no second place trophy or achievement of any one is win or loose the wii won. If the PS3 pass the 360 it would still mean nothing...GamerwillzPS

Lol, wake me up when Westen devs care about Japan or Japanese gamers care about games from the West. By the way, there is 11mil+ more Xbox sales in NA than PS3. You have just lost your argument here.
