PS3 officially 2nd place, 360 now last place

Source :http://www.famitsu.com/news/201011/08035343.html

Tose's worldwide list of console sales:

Xbox 360 ____________41,000,000
Playstation 3__________42,000,000
Wii _________________74,000,000

good, maybe you guys will finally feel validated about your purchase and be able to live with yourselves.

Wow, Wii got 74 million consoles sold, very successful.

MS said the 360 sold 45M a while ago.Immortal--

last place selling and first place treatment is better then first place selling and last place treatment though

That doesn't compute. The official numbers released by the manufacturers are different. 360 is at least 44.6 million units. Wii is at least 75.9 million units.

Good luck mate! Big thread imminent!

*Runs away*

If true, coz I didn't click on link nor do I care to find out the autheticity of the topic, now the PS3 fans can claim the same silly thing PSP fans claim! Wedidn't finish last we finished second! Hooray for us!

JK. But I guess they technically aren't last, but honestly who cares if the PS3 outsells the 360 by 5 million units or if the 360 outsells the PS3 by 1 unit, the problem is Sony got seriously humbled this generation by Microsoft and Nintendo, it took them 4 years to recover, and even then if you call shipping 10 million units per calendar year a recovery after the decade success of PS1/PS2 than you should be disappointed, business-wise.

Additionally, the same GameCube arguement runs this gen as well, even if the PS3 outsells the 360 by 15 million units, what does it matter if Sony makes substantially less profit from the hardware, and overall money (software sales as well) as Microsoft and Nintendo?

But I think with Move, Kinect, this next 2-3 years is essentially a new gen, it'll be interesting to see where everything shakes out from this point on, if Nintendo loses more ground to the other two.

But as a proud owner of all three current gen consoles, I say that I don't think the 360 or PS3 outselling each other proves very little, either way they are showing now what consumers they really want with Move and Kinect, and it isn't exactly the consumer who visits these forums.

EDIT: It appears this likely isn't true, and that the 360 was reported to sell 45M a while ago, so my comment still stands on the general topic, just not the parts about the PS3 being 2nd now

Xbox 360 is at 45.000.000, so 3 million ahead of PS3

Well, according to Greenberg, Microsoft has sold over 45 million 360's.

[QUOTE="Immortal--"]MS said the 360 sold 45M a while ago.Sollet

Uh, the Xbox 360 has actually sold 44.6 million units. Get your facts straight, please.

EDIT: And for the record, the PS3 has sold 41.6 million units.

So you're willing to believe Enterbrain to be a more reliable source for Xbox 360 sales than Microsoft?

Indeed, also Sony usually releases shipped numbers, like with Move and these mean nothing

Xbox 360 is 3-5 million head of PS3, and 10 million ahead in US !!!!

There are OVER45 million consoles sold in 35 countries.

The worst part for Sony is that this is before Kinect, now 360 is selling at 10x rate

Um..no. I don't even know what a tose isbigboss5ak

ah so the units MS ships to retailers are immediately sold?

What? Hypocrisy.

No one reads the links anymore :P

UnrealDelusion

What he means is that retailers pay for their shipment of consoles from MS/Sony/Nintendo. Sold to consumers is difficult to track, and they have no need to report those numbers.

Nice, PS3 caught up nicely after being a whole year back, and all those people re-buying their broken 360s, nice!!!

Well like the lems always say shipped doesn't equal sold so that the PS3 outsold the 360 and is in 2nd place now could very well be true.

UnrealDelusion

It could very well be true, but it seems rather unlikely in the limited timeframe since the release of their official shipped numbers. Obviously demand has increased for the PS3 since 2007 though.

Shipped is sold, just not through to the consumer end, thus their shipped numbers =/= total userbase.
