This is good news. MS have become lazy and deserve a little slap abckto reality. Of course in reality however MS don't give a **** they've made a profit and with Nintendo, killed off alot of Sony's marketshare.

I think nextgen will be MS's real test, have the fans they bought to the 360 enjoyed there time enough to another helping? (doubt it)

[QUOTE="djsifer01"][QUOTE="lundy86_4"]

Are you implying MS includes warranty replacements in their total shipped numbers?

Why would they do something like that, when it's two different aspects completely?

navyguy21

Absolutely, why wouldnt they?

Because thats known as misleading stockholders.............or by its common name.....................fraud :|

:D:lol: Funny stuff.

And absolutely true. These numbers aren't some marketing spin or purely for fanboys to tout. They are the quarterly financial reports of major multinational corporations, required by law (at least in the U.S.), so that investors have an accurate portrayal of what's going on with the company. You get caught cooking the books to stockholders and you go to jail. If MS were to run through the 1 billion dollars they sat aside (in an earlier quarterly report) for warranty repairs due to RROD, they'd have to list the expenses incurred on the quarterly report, though they wouldn't be required to detail the number or types of repairs. That's the only place you'd find broken 360s on a financial report.

That's in terms of sales but sales doesn't equal install base. Install base is harder to calculate b/c you never know how many active units there are out there. I mean do we really have any clue how many sales are repeat buyers for some reason (replacing ylod/rrod units, upgrading to different sku such as slims or elites, etc) that don't use the older units anymore???

It's funny to see people grasping at straws in this thread to try and defend their beloved consoles. This one broke down and people bought 2nd ones. Oh that isn't right that's only the amount they shipped not sold. blah blah blah blah MS and Sony don't keep track of what every retailer in the world sells and why would any of you think they did? These companies sold those number of consoles to retailers. That's it. The retailers will eventually sell out and order more. Why is that a hard concept to understand and why would you try to argue it? Does not compute.

That has been a problem for generations, it is what it is.

You are going to have to accept what we have accepted for years and years and years, through generations of console gaming.

We will never know the exact spot on by the second figures...but 3.6 million, that's as close as we are going to get for SW purposes.

People really need to get this 1st place, 2nd and 3rd rubbish out of their heads. The 360 and PS3 are very even sales wise, they are only really different because of their release dates, with the release of the 360 slim the gap will return to roughly what the gap was following that years head start.

[QUOTE="Desmonic"][QUOTE="Dibdibdobdobo"]The best thing about this whole thread is the TC's Sig and the Emma Sig right after the TC's post. On topic. Ermm.... Nice.3rdbass

You got that right!! haha XD Still awesome to see the PS2 sell 1.6 million! :O

How is it possible that the PS2 has as many units shipped to retailers as the 360? Who is buying the PS2? I guess Latin America is really buying up the PS2.

South America, Asia, Parts of Africa. PS2 is really cheap right now compared to Xbox 360 or PS3.

[QUOTE="ZIMdoom"]

[QUOTE="Floppy_Jim"]That's rather close o_0 I guess 360S has pulled it above 4 million now, jolly good show for both machines really.CentricStorm

PUlled it above 4 million now? They JUST released that 41.7 million number a few days ago I believe. DO you really think they sold 2 million more consoles in the few days between when they announced and when Sony has announced? Keep in mind the 360 only sold 9 million consoles in all of last year.

Strange, but I thought that the difference between 38.1 million and 41.7 million was 3.6 million, meaning that only 400,000 Xbox 360 consoles would have had to have sold to pull the gap above 4 million.

Yeah but isn't that assuming that no PS3's were sold since? Especially since the PS3 has been outselling the 360 WW up until the slim? I doubt that the gap increased by much if any. It may be stalled right now.

I would disagree. While Blu Ray is obviously the superior format and Sony was not going to launch without Blu Ray, MS saved consumers $100 on the launch price of the 360 by making an HD Drive optional. Sony didn't REALLY pick up steam until they removed features, made a slim and cut the price in half from what it was at launch. It's just different philosophies. Sony is pushing their disc based tech(Blu Ray Group) as the future. MS is pushing Digital Download as the future. As someone who never watched a Blu Ray disc and doesn't really plan to any time soon I appreciate MS not forcing things into my console I don't want or need and charging a higher price. That's why, like many others, I waited for the PS3 price to drop to get one.

Well, Sony embraces digital downloads as much as anyone. From PSN movies and games, PSN Plus (retail games like InFamous), the PSP. Sony is the only one of the big three that was bold enough to put out a digital download-only system. I don't think Sony views it as an either-or situation, for now; some people will prefer their physical media, and others will prefer the convenience of digital downloads, but until such time that digital downloads completely take over Blu-rays were necessary to bring HD movies to retail.

There were also some obvious space advantages using Blu-rays for games too, which in retrospect may have been less of a big deal than Sony predicted, but they were advantages nevertheless.

Wow Sony's marketshare has really collapsed badly hasn't it?blue_hazy_basic
Very nice job trying to make a good announcement sound bad... Sony has closed the gap down to 3.6 million units... with GT 5 on the horizon Sony will have easily surpassed Xbox 360 by this time next year.

Many people own a PSP. Coolyfett is the most unstoppable PSP gamer on this website. He is reallygood too. Saying that a device such as this is getting "spanked" is pure negativity. The PSP 3000 is a really nice system, so nice there are no immediate plans to replace it. Give the PSP 3000 a try, you and friends you share it with will enjoy it. The PSP gets a lot of usage from Coolyfett. Thats what makes him a winner. Peace & Love.

You refer to yourself in third person? :|

Anyways, I guess PS3 really does have a chance of passing the 360 this gen sales wise. I could care less since I already own one and it wouldn't really affect me, you, or anyone else who has one but whatever.

So, basically, Sony and Microsoft are within a quarter's WW sales of each other?

MS really failed to capitalize on that year long head start.

Well Reach and kinect are here , and i don't think they counted the Slim 360 Sales . Also Sold is different than Shipped , if we take shipped numbers that means 360s and ps3s that haven't been sold yet , probably , so the gap is still going to be 3.6 million or whatever.

Man... The gap is only 3.6 million. At this rate, PS3 could pass the 360 next year for all we know.
