Ok I will only do launch periods as this is all that matters right now. Both consoles launched in Nov. of their respective launch years now lets get to the numbers.

At the end of December 2005 Xbox 360 had sold a grand total of 1.1 million consoles worldwide.

At the end of December 2006 Playstation 3 had sold 1.2 million consoles worldwide.

Now let take into consideration 360 launched WORLDWIDE while PS3 only launched in Japan and North America. And lemmings say PS3 sits on shelves??? :lol:

The 360 could afford a slow start. The early launch gave it time to recover and unlike the PS3 it was completely sold out and not sitting in stores collecting dust like the PS3 is right now.

I noticed that as well recently. Sony is doing a good job meeting demand. I see no reason to attack them for actually doing a proper launch hardware-wise(software wise is was weaker)

Once again, Cows are:

This issue, like a dead horse, have beaten to death so much that the horse is nothing more than a bloody smear on the ground! Ok, we KNOW now that X360 launch didn't go too well. We accept it. So cows, can you also accept the fact that currently the PS3 is a flop and the X360 has at the minimum, a 8 million units lead over your precious console?

The 360 had a worldwide launch. If the majority of the consoles were released in the US like the PS3 did, the demand and supply would have been reached like the PS3 has reached.

how can you call it a flop when it hasn't been released worldwide yet:lol:

the xbox sold better than the 360 within 15 months of it's release, so does that mean that the 360 flopped?

PS3 gonna dominate (this at X360 launch)

PS3 gonna dominate 2006! (after Sony laugher of a E3)

PS3 gonna dominate Japan (at Japanese launch)

PS3 gonna dominate the U.S. forget Europe! (at U.S. launch)

PS3 Gonna dominate 2007!

PS3 gonna dominate 2008!

.....and now.....PS3 gonna dominate Europe (even though when it was delayed, Cows were saying Europe didn't matter)........

HMMMM.....I see a pattern here.....

Everywhere was Sony land last generation. The PS3 had initial strong demand in Japan and NA too, and it sold out there, and that was with a lot more than the 1 million units being sent to Europe. Also, the reports I've seen have all been UK specific. I haven't heard about anywhere else (please correct me If I'm wrong).

I geuss you didn't get the memo.

Advance orders for Sony's highly anticipated PlayStation 3 console have broken all records, with high street stalwart Woolworths revealing it has been taking one order every 20 seconds during the past week.

The state-of-the-art PlayStation 3 will go head-to-head with Microsoft's Xbox 360 when it hits the shops on March 23 and Woolies, one of the first stores to accept pre-orders, has admitted it has been staggered by the demand.

Gerry Berkley, Woolworths' head of games, said, "It's the hottest gaming system since the PS2 launched in 2000 - demand will outstrip supply."

With a retail price of £425, the 60Gb PlayStation 3 costs £125 more in the UK than in the US, but this has failed to deter those determined to try out Sony's latest dream machine.

No because the 360 was completely sold out for months after launch. They were selling them faster then they could make them. The same goes for the Wii but not the PS3...

Ignorance is bliss...look man u need to realize that to 400 watever pounds may seem like a lot to the average US consumer because u think in US dollars. But if you are getting payed in pounds and you live in the UK, 1 pound is the eqiuvalent of 1 US dollar to an American. Its not like after every paycheck you go on Yahoo finance and check how much US dollars your pounds amount to. So stop trying to convert the money back and forth because the world doesnt work like that. If you go to England for summer, you will see that its more expensive than the US because u think in US dollars but If you live there and work there, the prices arent as outrageous as u think

I believe that if ps3 is a flop. its flop by choice. Sony could put more effort in to the ps3 but their busy milking the ps2. So right ps2> xbox 1 and 2.

Ok, could just be UK reports. I must have misread them and interpreted them to mean all of europe.

The PS3 is exensive in any country. Here it costs $1000 while you can get an Xbox 360 and PGR 3 or DOA 4 for $600 and a Wii with Wii sports for $400.

Are you american? If not, then im sorry but most hardcore lemmings tend to be american and whilst all my brit friends argue that the PS3 is high priced they dont think is outrageously expensive as you believe. And you seem to under the false pretext that Europe wont help Sony much when anyone who lives in Europe knows that Sony owns the European games market. Xbox1 was mostly an American thing.

If you're not american why would you think in their currency.... if you're from the uk, england to be exact then dollars have nothing to do with what we pay... our pound is almost 2x as much as the dollar meaning if we went to america to buy a ps3 we'd get it cheaper. Now because we have our tax inclueded into the price means we pay £425 only unlike the americans who have to pay the $600 then pay the tax ontop of that. Also our economies are completely diffrent so again dollars are a moot point. only the most exteme person would compare a dollar to a pound. in the words of a uk rapper, sway "the pound is stronger than the dollar, holla!"

That's all going to change once PS3 hits Europe next month.

Yes, the Price Tag is so insane, people will have to buy it :roll:

Reports have been that it has the most preorders of any console ever(in europe). Europe last gen was Sony country and still will be.

I remember when Sony fanboys were bragging about that.  How did that turn out?

They sold all their launch systems.. You couldn't walk into a store and find a PS3 until the end of December.

8 million for now and the gap is closing without Euorope.You can expect a massive sales spike for the PS3 in March.So yeah the 360's leading because of its head start for now but dont expect it to stay at a 8 million lead for long.

Yes that explains why my numbers are off. PS3 had 226k at launch. Sony sold 780,500 PS3s in NA in 2006. 554,400 in Dec.. Now lets do the math that would leave 226k for Nov...

[QUOTE="Thrice_III"]I noticed that as well recently. Sony is doing a good job meeting demand. I see no reason to attack them for actually doing a proper launch hardware-wise(software wise is was weaker)

Sony's doing a good job meeting demand because there isn't much of a demand for the PS3. I asked the people at my local EB just for fun if they had any PS3s in stock and they said they had plenty. And then they said "please buy one".

Yes, the Price Tag is so insane, people will have to buy it :roll:



I live in the UK and im gonna buy it, for the technology included I think its a fair price, not insane at all, even though I have to pay more than you americans. If i wanted an Xbox 360 with same/similar features (hddvd, wireless etc) it would cost me more in the long run, so saying the 360 is cheaper is a false economy as far as im concerned. Plus most of the games that come out on the 360 also come out on the PC and so i get to play them on my pc anyway (albeit a bit later) whereas the ps3 has games that wont come out on the pc, eg DMC, MGS, FF, HS.
