I realize that this board mainly consists of Lemmings, but im gonna give this a shot.

Every NPD report we see the PS3 being outsold by wii and 360, but what is it really being out sold by? 360, a console that has had one year lead to pick up more sales, and the Wii, Which is just kicking the crap out of everything. I believe it was N4G who listed a story where they compared 360's year one sales with PS3s first year sales, and they were very close to each other. THis is why I find it funny when everyone says PS3 is selling Hardware Horribly. If these numbers are any indication, if Both 360 adn PS3 were released day and day, the numbers would almost be a dead even. THis does not expalin PS3s lack of truely Stellar games to play right now, but dont act like their isnt anything to play on it. I recently played both Uncharted and COD 4(yes, I know its on 360 as well) and I absolutely loved it. OF course, I picked up ME today, so I played mostly that. BTW: If anyone has the link to those numbers, please post them. Thanks.

All in all, I sure we can safely say that this fight isnt anywhere near over yet.

Just my Two Cents. Thank you for your time.

I think it's selling just about right for what Sony is offering right now and I think it will sell very well next year if Sony can manage another price drop and market their big games like MGSIV and GT5 well.

And if wishes were fishes we would all live in the sea.

No one in their right mind wants the fight to be over. We want the fight to continue forever. We want one upmanship in the world of exclusive games. We want Marquee titles fighting for bragging rights.

PS: stop acting like you aren't a cow, you obviously favor PS3 over 360 and seem to hate lemmings

THe funny thing is the PS3 has outsold the 360 worldwide this year and the Playstation 3's first year is not much different for the 360's first year in sales.

Sounds to me like your using a smoke screen to hide your own Fanboyism. This was meant to be informative, not start a falme war. Just remember, "In the land of the Blind, the one eyed man is king" Take that for what you will.

Out_Kast3000

Proof of this??? The 360 has outsold the PS3 almost every month since it launched including over seas. \

And the 360 sold close to 7 or 8 million it's 1st year while the PS3 sold 5.

Stop trying to downplay it. The ps3 is selling horrible. It require not one but 2 price drops and multiple change of sku to come close to xbox 360's first year. The ps3 is suppose to blow competition out of the water so as far as I can see it is doing horrible if it only sells close to the 360 with the pricecuts.

lol I don't try to hide anything I'm a lemming even if I do end up with all three systems before the end of this generation I did it last generation too and before that I was a Sega man

The PS3 was widely hyped to destroy both Nintendo and Microsoft and outsell it from launch to this day until it reached or exceeded the hundred million or so the PS2 sold. So this is actually more of a Sony apologist rant than informative.

Think of it this way.

PS3 sold 5.7 Million in the 1st year with a high price tag and lack of games

compared to

The 360 sold 11-11.5 Million in 2 years with a lower price tag and tons of games.

PS3 sold half the amount of 360's in half the time even with a high price and less quantity of games. This also shows the lack of 360 sales since for a whole year it was the only next-gen console for sale it didnt have any to compete it while PS3 has the 360 and Wii and yet managed to sell the same amount as 360.

Sony made dumb Claims, no One can deny that. Lemmings sound like a broken record always bringing up Sonys Pre PS3 claims. Yes, they messed that up, lets move on now.

Thats basically what I was trying to get at. But lemmings will just say, "Oh, its selling Horribly becasue sony said its going to outsell everything its first year" Just like the broken record Fanboys are.

Which was what this thread was suppose to indicate. But people will keep saying its selling horrible becasue its not 12 million like 360. News flash people, it came out a year before the PS3 I.E more time to get sales.

Think of it this way....

The 360 had a massive shortage for not 1. 2 or even 3 months after launch. It was almost6 months while the PS3 didn't have any shortage.

The PS3 is not selling because of games but because of blind loyalty to a company. That's not something to be proud of cows. After all the fanboys buy then what? The PS3 has been outsold almost every month with the expection of it's launch. Not by a little but by a lot. So bad infact that Sony had to drop the price not once but twice. Not something I'd be running around making threads about.

These lame "PS3 isn't selling that bad" threads really need to stop because OBVIOUSLY SONY doens't agree.

The 360 didnt have big shortages at all, 1 month max, the same as the PS3 had. Your post makes no sense, you say the ps3 is not selling because people are loyal to sony? The truth is PS3 sold half of what the 360 sold in 1 year even with its 399 -599 Price Tag and Lack of Games.

It did quite well for a gaming system with no games. Next year the PS3 will really get its legs I'm guessing.

The PS3 will be at nearly 20 million by the end of next year. Probably about 17/18 million.

It will definitely have surpassed the 360.

What were you blind or something????? You couldn't find a 360 for 4 -6 months after launch. Stop being such a blind fanboy. By the way the 360 outsold the PS3 by almost 2 million it's 1st year.

This is why cows are awlways getting owned every chance someone gets.

Hope you realize that your fanboy fortune telling has absolutely no credibility what so ever. You should stick to the PS3 boards because all I see is YOU get owened with each and every post. You're either not very smart or you work for Sony.

Fanboy no, I just don't like fanboys are either side. Cows just seem to be the worst with stupid threads like this one and the oens I read all day. Especially by posters like Renegade and out kast.

BTW I play all systems and have no loyalty to MS or Sony.

There are some different factors though.

360 was the successor to a failure. The XBOX. Was in short supply for the first few months(something that was not a problem ever with the PS3).

The PS2 was still the console that kept getting the big games. Final Fantasy 12, Okami, Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistance, and a few others. The Gamecube was still getting the support it needed from Nintendo with Paper Mario, Fire Emblem, and Resident Evil.

This idea of 360 had no competition is not true. THe fact is the 360 had to compete with PS2 still and the gamecube(not that it really mattered with the gamecube).

The PS3 on the other hand is the successor to the PS2(a beast which was a successor to the PS1, once again another beast).

THe biggest thing sony can be proud about these sales(which yes they do suck) is that its still on a slighly lower pace than what the 360 was at. It had a ton of bad news over this 1 year stretch. No big Game. 360 on the other hand has had Halo 3(there biggest trump card), Gears of War, and solid AAA titles like Forza 2, Graw, Mass Effect(look its AAA on gamerankings and Look id rather put that here than PDZ) and yet 360 at most might be at 14 million tops this year. WHile PS3 might sneak away with 8-9 million in sales. NOt bad.

Well look at the potential spark the PS3 is carrying in 08.

MGS 4-all 3 have been 3 million or better sellers and the first 2 put up killer app number. This is the end of the franchise, expect the hype, expect some big numbers.

FF 13- Japan loves it. THis is Japans Halo basically. OH and it just happens to be a killer app in the US and Europe as well.

Gran Turismo 5- all of them have hit 10 million or more except GT 4. Which missed 10 million by only 2 million. THis is a big hit in Europe and a favorite for racing game fans.

Tekken 6- Counting SMash Bros its the 2nd most popular selling fighting game. Its gonna be a good hit for the PS3.

Killzone 2- Assuming its good, it will sell because of great visuals, its a shooter they sell, and SONY WILL HYPE IT ALOT.

The 360 on the other hand while it will have the quality titles to match this( i think so anyway) outside of Fable 2(which sold very well on the XBOX) non of the other games is a killer app, and really neither is Fable 2. Fable 1 only put up like 2 million.

Grand THeft Auto 4 might move more 360s(because it will be superior on the 360 and the 360 will be cheaper than the PS3).

But the 5 games plus potential with games like Little Big Planet, and a host of other and the PS3 isnt 600 bucks anymore. THe Blu Ray player will be a compelling reason with more HDTVS out there.

I dont seehow Sony does not put up 10 million plus sales next year. If they honestly is that mark ill be stunned.

And no im not a biased cow, im a lemming. IM just not blind enough to not see that Sony has a series shot at getting a spark in 08.

And if wishes were fishes we would all live in the sea.

No one in their right mind wants the fight to be over. We want the fight to continue forever. We want one upmanship in the world of exclusive games. We want Marquee titles fighting for bragging rights.

PS: stop acting like you aren't a cow, you obviously favor PS3 over 360 and seem to hate lemmings

JiveT

just because you hate lemmings doesnt make you a cow. Lemmings are pretty much the worst.

it doesnt matter what it's being kicked buy.

when your average consumer goes to buy a console they don't go, "the 360 released a year earlier, so i'm going to buy a ps3"

Exactly, they look at the library of games that is a available and what appeals to them.

PS3 is selling fine compared to the past consoles and past years. Compared to its current competition it's getting killed.

I realize that this board mainly consists of Lemmings, but im gonna give this a shot.

Every NPD report we see the PS3 being outsold by wii and 360, but what is it really being out sold by? 360, a console that has had one year lead to pick up more sales, and the Wii, Which is just kicking the crap out of everything. I believe it was N4G who listed a story where they compared 360's year one sales with PS3s first year sales, and they were very close to each other. THis is why I find it funny when everyone says PS3 is selling Hardware Horribly. If these numbers are any indication, if Both 360 adn PS3 were released day and day, the numbers would almost be a dead even. THis does not expalin PS3s lack of truely Stellar games to play right now, but dont act like their isnt anything to play on it. I recently played both Uncharted and COD 4(yes, I know its on 360 as well) and I absolutely loved it. OF course, I picked up ME today, so I played mostly that. BTW: If anyone has the link to those numbers, please post them. Thanks.

All in all, I sure we can safely say that this fight isnt anywhere near over yet.

Just my Two Cents. Thank you for your time.

I think the huge sticker price at launch had a lot to do with it's weak launch....come on now....due to the huge success and launch of the PS2, the PS3 is an enormous dissapointment. The Sony gaming brand has been dominating for years now, well, every year except the last.

I expect it to sell about even again next year. Even though it is getting more games, I think a lot of people bought a Ps3 thinking "hey I can get a cheap blu-ray player that has plastation in its name. And that resistance games looks pretty cool."

Since most of the people who would buy it for a blu-ray and out of loyalty to sony already have one, next year it depends on the games.

it's pretty pathetic given that they'r trying to compete with the wii and catch up to the 360. there are no excuses for third place especially when you were in sonys position last gen

[QUOTE="kingtito"]

[QUOTE="GarchomPro"]Think of it this way.

PS3 sold 5.7 Million in the 1st year with a high price tag and lack of games

compared to

The 360 sold 11-11.5 Million in 2 years with a lower price tag and tons of games.

PS3 sold half the amount of 360's in half the time even with a high price and less quantity of games. This also shows the lack of 360 sales since for a whole year it was the only next-gen console for sale it didnt have any to compete it while PS3 has the 360 and Wii and yet managed to sell the same amount as 360.GarchomPro

Think of it this way....

The 360 had a massive shortage for not 1. 2 or even 3 months after launch. It was almost6 months while the PS3 didn't have any shortage.

The PS3 is not selling because of games but because of blind loyalty to a company. That's not something to be proud of cows. After all the fanboys buy then what? The PS3 has been outsold almost every month with the expection of it's launch. Not by a little but by a lot. So bad infact that Sony had to drop the price not once but twice. Not something I'd be running around making threads about.

These lame "PS3 isn't selling that bad" threads really need to stop because OBVIOUSLY SONY doens't agree.



The 360 didnt have big shortages at all, 1 month max, the same as the PS3 had. Your post makes no sense, you say the ps3 is not selling because people are loyal to sony? The truth is PS3 sold half of what the 360 sold in 1 year even with its 399 -599 Price Tag and Lack of Games.

the 360 had shortages until March, not because of insane demand though, they just weren't putting many in stores. the launch of the 360 was a disaster at retail stores like gamestop because they had reserved like 80or systems only to get like 10 on launch day. After one more shipment before Christmas- most stores didn't get any more until March.

It's first year may have been similar to the 360's first year overall, but i'd like to see the numbers for each region. Since Japan has been very reluctant to pick up the 360, it makes me wonder if the 360's presence in the other regions was amazing in its first year compared to the PS3's in the same regions.

The PS3 will be at nearly 20 million by the end of next year. Probably about 17/18 million.

It will definitely have surpassed the 360.

A bit of a bold statement, but then again, anything can happen these days
