PS3 is #1 with 6.6 million consoles sold while Xbox is third with 5.5m (NDS is second) and doing poorly everywhere but in the US. To be more specific, NA is the only reason the Xbox is still competitive (almost 4m sold just there) and is all thanks to Kinect (my opinion). Kinect... It seems those Sesame Street exclusives are coming handy. :lol:

Indeed, if we dont count Japan 360 is like 10 million systems ahead or more

Even after the price drop, 360 is still outselling PS3 in US by far without a price cut almost since launch

Well the point of this thread is overall sales, and considering how not everyone here lives in the US (PS3 also outsold the 360 in Europe I hear), it makes me wonder what the point of your replies are. It doesn't make the PS3 outsell the 360 any less does it?

And seriously, 10 million ahead? That's kind of ignoring how close sales were in the US this year, and is a pretty big exaggeration.

good but more than 70% of world population is not coming from US. so World sales is more important.

When fallout sells 4 million outside Japan and 60.000 in Japan, i cant see how Bethesda would be mostly interested in PS3 sales in Japan

That is why 360 gets exclusive DLC for Skyrim for example and Witcher 2 is only coming to xbox 360

Perhaps Japan should be wondering if by their refusal to support a VG console from the USA, they may be creating a whole generation of gamers in the U.S. who may decide they will never buy a Japan made auto ? :o :twisted:

Anyway, PS3 will overtake 360 in sales and nab umm, 2nd place any day now. :P

Last I checked, the 360 had just as many high scoring games as the PS3, and far more high-scoring exclusives. Why the hell would anyone want the worst of all the consoles?

yeah if you count games that were released 4 years ago. Quality titles like perfect dark zero hahaha yeah good luck with that. Xbox exclusives have been dying for the past 3 years now. This year you only had 1 worth bragging about. Whats your next big hit? a remake of a xbox original game lololololol. I guess you should get back to your game of Dance Central 2 with your mum and dad?

The world doesn't revolve around you. Japan sales are MUCH more important, since Sony is a Japanese company.

xbox exclusives have been dying? LOL. Gears 3 probably just destroyed all PS3 exclusives this year in sales. Halo 3 and Reach have each sold more copies than any other PS3 exclusive. GT5 is a big seller, but then what do you expect when it was hyped before the PS3 even came out. some of the comments on here are just ridiculous.

have fun with halo 13 and gears 8. Same franchises getting milked. No new IPs = boring library

Uncharted 3, Resistance 3, Metal Gear Solid 4, Killzone 3, Gran Turismo 5, etc. etc. And since when does a "new IP" mean a "new game?" Uncharted is basically Tomb Raider mixed with Gears, nothing new there.

Quite the opposite: Kinect is the only thing that keeps 360 at least remotely competetive.

But it doesnt matter that much since nextbox will launch late 2012 or early 2013...
