The U.S. is much more important than Japan. Try again.

This attitude is what destroyed our world wide image for the last 8 years. Comments like this are not only ignorant they border on dangerous. The fact is PS3 is and will be fine, so stay on topic and stay in reality.

Recession and BAD Economy is the US mostly. Other than that PS3 is doing fine. I thought these threads were dead, Why do you people care about numbers when you are not getting ANYHING out of it?

Myzz617

not really. the videogames industry has been putting up record sales numbers. people in the U.S. just arent as interested in the ps3 as the 360 or Wii

also, saying that sales dont matter is very selfish. yeah, they dont matter to you directly, but your hobby is only present because these companies SELL enough to stay in business and prosper, therefore keeping your hobby alive.

why dont you go ask Sega if sales matter....

In the United States only. The PS3 is selling much better in Japan, Europe, and Australia than Xbox did. Discussion over.savebattery
Actually, the Xbox 360 is selling more in Europe, If you look into it.

Completely and utterly wrong, the recession is worldwide, many countries are being hit far harder than the US (go have a look at Ireland's unemployment rise in the last12 months)

ps3 sold more in the same time span as 360. yea the 360s lead has grown but you're talking about sales over a certain period of time and sony is beating 360 in that area.

Except PS3 is selling to a worldwide audience and the last time I checked America is not the only place in the world. Though I admit PS3 sales in America are not as good as they can be but worldwide PS3 is pwning 360.

NA is the biggest region, so yeah thats not good news, but I know they can always comeback next gen stronger like what the other two consoles did.

gago-gago

Erm no it's not Europe is.

There are more Ds's In Europe than the US. There are more Ps1's in Europe than the Us, There are more Ps2's in Europe than the Us, More SNES's sold in Europe than the US, There are more PSP's in Europe than the US. More Gmaecubes sold in Europe than the US and more N64's sold in Europe than the US.

If Europe was no divided into lots of small countries I think that it would be aparent to everyone it is the largest region in terms of gaming. Both console and Pc.

I mean the origonal x-box sold 24 million and the PS3 is currently on 23 so worldwide it's selling at a faster rate.

Never thought I would see a sony console sell badly. Can't hate MS has done a great job selling a pretty piss poor product.nmaharg
its not piss poor. its got some of the best games and features. sure the hardware sucked at first and it still has some problems but its not nearly as bad as it was. but ms did a good job of atleast trying to clean up that mess. also it has not really hurt there sales so its obviously not that big of a deal.

[QUOTE="ABigNo"]

So how much did the original Xbox sell in it's life?

savebattery

Roughly 24 million.

So the PS3can easily exceedlifetime XBOX sales by the end of this year.

I would be very suprised if it didn't sell 1 million units worldwide in the next 6 months especially considering the Christams rush is still to happen and the potential price drop which would sellmany manyunits.

I'm still dissapointed at the guy who thought NA was the largest region in terms of game sales, he should do his homework. Historically all systems sell better in the Eu except Sega systems and the origonal X-box (I'm not going to count the current x-box as its possible it could undergo a upswing in Eu sales and sell more than the US)

I wouldn't hold your breath on that one. Simple math would show him to be wrong. 360 outsells the PS3 in the US, the PS3 outsells the 360 by roughly the same amount in Japan. The 360's lead has slowly grown over time. If they cancel out each others sales leads in Japan and NA, then it is impossible for the PS3 to be killing the 360 and falling farther behind. Not only will he have no link to support his claim, he has no mathmatical probability nor logical conclusion that would support his statement. The fact of the matter is that Japan is saving the PS3 from getting killed worldwide.

Yep Playstation 3 is way overpriced. I think people who bought it got ripped off especially when you can almost play the exact same games on 360 for 199.

Wow lemms dont even aknowledge Europe even though its the biggest gaming region! Like you said PS3 and 360 cancel each other out with American and Japanese sales but you dont realise that Playsation brand has always sold more in Europe then any other region. Infact the only place in Europe 360 can be considered as doing better is in the UK but otherwise with Euro sales PS3 is pwning 360 WW.
