PS3 sells at a simular rate to the way the Xbox 360 Sold

The Xbox 360 came out in November 22,2005, which was 1 year and 9 months ago and has since then sold about 10.4 million units. The PS3 war released November 11, 2006, which was 9 months ago and has sold about 4.6 million units. At this rate the ps3 should have sold 10.4 units in about another year or so, which would tie it with the sales rate of the Xbox. So all this talk about how the ps3 is doing bad is just wrong, its doing exactly the same as the xbox, just a year later.

This is not my opinion, its just math and facts.

No, ps3 is doing worse its not even breaking 100,000 units a month which is pothecit, the 360 is outselling the ps3 2 to 1 every month.ironwarrior2

only in the usa but sales well everywhere else where 360 lacks. but ps3 sales will pick up next year once big games are released.

it was almost at 100k/month before the price drop. vgchartz has been showing a pretty big increase. vgchartz isn't accurate but they can't be that incredibly far off so the chances that the ps3 still won't pass 100k is pretty much nonexistent.

It wont change much, the 360 also had a price drop. And Madden is better on 360, which is a big deal

My guess is the PS3 will sell a ton of units when MGS 4 and FF 13 release, If I remember correctly the PS2 got a huge boost by MGS 2 and FF x.

it'll still be expensive. i don't think mgs4 and ff13 will be the miracle people are expecting them to be.

The 360 was supply constrained until April. It's now August and PS3 is still in line with 360s rate when it was at this stage in it's life. PS3 is currently outpacing Xbox 360 worldwide as well, and surprisingly MS has shipped a pretty low number of 360s this year so far. Halo 3 will obviously make up for that, but after that in 2008 (which is PS3s big year) PS3 will probably outpace 360 worldwide and never look back.

Add to that the fact that PS3 has a poor game selection currently, and is more expensive, it speaks volumes for the PS brand.

By how much will PS3 outpace Xbox 360 in sales in 2008 when it actually has a good game selection? And then later on when it's actually an affordable console?

PS3 was expected to be the highest selling console this gen. when it's all said and done and last for over 10 years... Nothing I have seen so far has told me it definitly won't happen.

The fact is: PS3 is 600 dollars. It has few big name exclusives (if any) and is STILL outpacing 360 in worldwide sales.

How will PS3 be selling when it has it's main big games out, and is affordable so all the millions of PS2 players can actually afford one?

well it came pretty close to 100k and defitnitely won't sale below 100k for july's npd and may even surpass 360 in sales for the month.

The 360 for months was selling out becasue it was extreamly supply constrained. The PS3 on the other hand is very available and still can't beat the 360's constrained numbers.goblaa

:lol:

Well, I have to laugh at them then. (even though I am a cow/hermit)

But anyways, It doesn't matter what cows or what Sony thought PS3 would do. I don't consider biased opinions when I make these kinds of predictions, I look at the facts, the games, past sales history, and things like that.

When will the PS3 get to that price?

Who knows?

There will be ALOT of people who make the switch to Xbox 360 or Wii.

There will also be ALOT of people who after getting a 360 or Wii decide to replace them with a PS3 or get a PS3 as well.

There will also be ALOT of people who wait on getting a PS3 until it drops to an affordable price, and considering how PS2 is STILL selling at a high rate, I think consumers can wait.

PS3 being so damn expensive ensures a longer lifecycle for it this gen. simply because so many people will wait on getting one.

How long a life did the $599 Jaguar have?

What worries me is that the 360 is selling about as well as the original xbox.MGS9150

without halo and the original xbox price tag was $200 so at twice the price its still matching it thats kinda good.

So do I. It's the main reason why I think PS3 won't sell as well as PS2.

I'm thinking it will sell 80 Million, over the course of 10 years or so.

If you think about it, that's around HALF of PS2s sales rate.

I think it's a VERY good thing that this gen will be more evenly spread. More competetion=more amazingly good games for me :D

I think in the short run (the regular 5 year cycle), Wii will win by a LONGSHOT. PS3 and 360 will be neck and neck. But PS3 will have a big advantage, because it will last another 5 YEARS or so simply because of how expensive it is.

Although price will hurt PS3 alot, PS3s long term appeal will eventually make it the overall winner, this gen will not be the near monopoly it was last gen though. Which is good.

Here's how I see it.

Wii: 60 Million sold over the course of 5 years.

Xbox 360: 50 Million sold over the course of 7 years.

PS3: 80 Million sold over the course of 10 + years.

It wont change much, the 360 also had a price drop. And Madden is better on 360, which is a big deal

I don't think $20-$50 price drops are signifcant as a $100 price drop.

At this rate both consoles will sell extremely well, but the PS3 will never overtake the 360.Wasdie

IMO, the ps3 will eventually overtake the 360 or atleast tie the 360. The PS3 is expensive, but for a $600 console its not doing bad, its 6 million away from the sales of the xbox, but also came a year later. If it sole 4.2 millions in 9 months, if the sale rate continues, by the time it is the current age of the 360, 1year9months,it will have sold9.8 million units. Once the price drops, and the games get better sales WILL start to increase, you cant deny that. Now whether sales will increase to match or top the xbox i dont know, but im expecting both the Xbox360 and PS3 to be about the same sometime in the future.

PSX wasn't a "new" console. It was an video centric PS2 for media users. Sony has stated they might release something like that of the PS3 for video enthusiats.

No, since obviously your a PS3 owner, is that the PS3 is selling worst than the original XBox, and we know that that system didn't fair well, did it.

That is what should worry you!!!

PS3 = $599

360 = $399
