The mediocre sales of the PS3 I believe have finally reached 3million. The price and the lackluster line up of games is a turn off for a majority of people out there.

How isn't it credible? Why is VG Charts credible? I don't truly trust either of them. There is a 500,000+ difference in numbers between the two sites.

nexgenwars isn't actually far off, if you look at the graph they are actually showing lower sales then when they get the real figures  the graph jumps up so your "hahahahahahaha" isn't needed.

Cows will learn just how much price is a factor this year.

$600 is expensive to many people no matter how much cows say otherwise.

it has surpassed 3 Mil worldwirde

its slowly picking up, people dont need to worry, the PS3 is coming out on top

I would hardly call that "picking up". About two weeks ago there was this article about "PS3 sales in UK drops by 80%".

I think SONY needs to face their misstake, it is to expensive.

600$ is not for mass market no matter how many how many stuff sony adding in the ps3  if its not atleast 400 then their in trouble !!!

i am a gamer and what i see right now is xbox360 is bringing lots of top quality games while sony hoping that mgs4 and final fantasy 13 would save them , and all i can say to them is good luck ,cuz your gona need it .

Nexgenwars isn't a reliable site.  No one really knows how many PS3's have been sold until official reports come out.  The site just takes educated guesses.  In my opinion, the PS3 isn't selling out because there are no killer exclusives out for it yet, it's overpriced, and the Xbox and Wii are hot stuff at the moment.  It'll pick up the pace, but it's certainly not because of shortages.  I hung around GameStop on the first week of football playoffs and watched two people come in, ask for PS3's, and watched them  walk out with them.  No reservations.  Paid in cash.   If you want to be surprised, be surprised the Wii hasn't sold 30 million yet. :-D

I thought it hit 3 million with that 600,000 Euro launch sales boost. Ah well, still selling better than 360 in two continents. Just not the most dominant one when it comes to games.

The sales droped 80% after launch week. Obviously launch week is going to be much higher then regular weeks.

If it had showed the PS3 with 11million would it be credible then?

Let's not be too hard on Sony. Yes, they screwed up, but so did:

-Nintendo with the Virtual Boy

-Atari with the Jaguar

-Sega with the Dreamcast (and arguably even the Saturn)

Hopefully Sony will learn their lessons and offer the consumer a better value with the PS4 (assuming there is one). As far as this generation goes, they will finish a distant third.

I don't go to Nexgenwars.  The sales ARE around 3ish million from the general concensus of many sites.  It's a fact that $600 is turning people off.  If it wasn't, then it would be selling far far better.  The price is the first thing that most people complain about when mentioning the ps3.  Everyone is waiting for the price to drop.

FALSE onboth counts. The ps3 has NOT sold 3 million yet  and Japan is the ONLY palce on earth it is outselling the ps2 unless Japan now counts for 2 continents.

It is at about 3 million. Sales have obviously slowed everywhere because it's in good supply. Neither 360 or PS3 are really going to sell many more until the big games start hitting..... the Wii is just in demand for the new concept, the games are completely lackluster at this point.

Lets see, WHich of the two Sites Guessed the 600K in Eu accurately???? vG CHARTS. Which of the Sites displayes JPN  software sales weekly. VG charts... Vgcharts has accounted  for various sales in the three main regions. Nextgenwars is flat out guessing

 

X360 10.4 Million?????? we all know thats not true.

And hmmm didn't they have that up since Jan when M$ stated that

:| No we don't all know that the 10.4 mil 360's is false. I really can't trust either site because of the major number gaps. The reasons you give are by no means valid reasons to trust VG Charts.
