PS3 sells 1.7 Million in US alone for December.. 3.8 million worldwide.. Link

i am pretty sure the x360 will surpass the 2 million in USA but it will be less than 3.3 million WW.

wait this doesnt make sense.. Last month Sony said they sold 440,000 units in the week of black friday.. so do we subtract 440,000 from 1.7 million and you have the real numbers for December? he just said 5 weeks in december, didnt we have 5 weeks in December this year? so no it wouldnt count black friday

i am pretty sure the x360 will surpass the 2 million in USA but it will be less than 3.3 million WW.

[QUOTE="Kennysolidsnake"] That cant be right, 3.8 million consoles for a whole quarter?! hell Japan sold 500,000 PS3s for december alone, 3.8 million worldwide for a whole quarter doesnt seem right at all.

It's not right - its for the holiday season which is 5 weeks.

Im sorry but the article says for the month of December, says nothing whatsoever about a 5 week period for it including november numbers also, until you prove otherwise im going with what the article says.. FOR THE MONTH OF DECEMBERKennysolidsnake

they're counting from Nov 24th for the NA numbers.

You guys site sales as if you people were economists. In all seriousness those figures don't affect the average gamer. The Wii has sold multi millions yet the as a owner of the console I am unsatisfied with the way they're "winging" profits. If anything the last place console is better because the respective company will try harder to get back profits and try to reduce loses (give us more bang for our buck). The Wii is sold at a profit point (we are paying more then what the thing is worth) and the PS3 is sold at a loss ( we are getting a lot more then what we payed for). These high sales figures don't help the consumer but the corporation. Unless you have stocks in either Sony or Nintendo the way their gaming platforms do on the market shouldn't be a big issue.

[QUOTE="nhh18"]

[QUOTE="jakarai"] If you do the math they sold 320k units in Oct, 710k units in Nov, so that means they should sell around another 700k for Dec. = 1.7m units for NAjakarai

Holy crap that is a lot. Final Fantasy 13 being released in Japan probably helped those numbers a lot. Even still, great number

Holy crap! so your saying in North America the Wii smashed the PS3 by over 1.3 million units?!?

gensigns

http://www.ps3center.net/news/4231/playstation-sells-38-million-units-in-december/ WOW that is amazing. so we pretty much know what NPD will show.. PS3 at 1.7 million consoles for December, Wii at 3 million and 360 hast announced yet.. After hearing this im pretty optimistic the PS3 outsold the 360 for December NPD.

The reason i say this is because even though the 360 sold 810,000 for November, it was still 19,000 less than November 2008.. in December for 2008 the 360 sold 1.4 million.. if the 360 saw a similar decline in sales then the 360 most likely sold 1.3 million for December with PS3 outselling it buy 400,000! Awesome numbers for PS3!

BTW sorry i cant link, my browser is messed up.. WOW could the PS3 actually outsell the 360 in December?

great job sony

PS3 is definitely the wave of the future.

I ivershot a little but I was at about 1.55 million. Reduce that by 150k and that should be it about. Sneaky Sony going by black friday haha, inflate the number but don't think that the number will be just -440k. I'd cut that in half if I was to guess.

Edit: Forgot we have Canada in the, let me adjust about 12%, ehh, let me put it at 1.32 million.

hey EA you see those numbers. yah so mass effect 2 blu-ray edition would sound good right about now

i think if PS3 stays neck and neck, 360 needs a real price drop to stay ahead

maybe Elite for $199.99?

Esspecially before Natal

If anything make the Arcade $129.99 and the Elite $249.99 we all know those 120GBs HDDs don't cost that much to make

or a 360 Lite made out of cheaper matierals?

Oh I know, I'm simply using the logic of: We sold a ton of hardware, give us software. The reality however is Sony has performed excellent but they are still most likely going to be third in NPD sales, like every month.

wii is for the casual market....for wii fit games and playing old people bowlingstereointegrity

And you don't think Sony wants that market?
