[QUOTE="solidte"][QUOTE="lebanese_boy"][QUOTE="solidte"]vgcharts has it at 1.86 million so far.beyondgamez
vgchart is wrong, the ps3 has barely passed 1 million. I'm still not sure if they did pass 1 million.



Don't worry it has.



it certainly did sell past 1 million..but with the europe launch next month..another 1 million would be sold..

I really doubt it. The DS is a monster seller over there and the Wii is the UK's fastest selling video game console. The Playstation 3 might still have a chance but it only got much lower now because of the Wii and DS.

[QUOTE="lebanese_boy"][QUOTE="Omni-Slash"][QUOTE="Sonick54"] Cool.....Mind telling me how that works? :P

[QUOTE="lebanese_boy"] how do you do that :P ?

I use a site cutandpastescripts.com (though I've heard there are no new accounts anymore)....but basically you can find sites that allow you to upload a bunch of sigs and it spits out a code for you to use.......

oh thanks a bunch man :).

I dont really care who wins the war, I just pray that noone wins with a landslide. Here in Norway when any casual show or paper is talking about games, its always Playstation, or like 95-99%. The Gamecube had very very little coverage, many still dont know about it, and the original X-box is sligtly talked about, but almost always about Halo. I remeber when Sega CD and Dreamcast was in the race, there were litterally no talk about it in the media. And thats saying much since the wannabe-serious Scandinavian gaming magazine "Gamereactor" is garbage. It is sligtly better with 360 and Wii, and hopefully every console will be recognized this gen. *Prays*

Please think before you speak. You insult the human race with comments like that.

Shipped = the same as sold

Let me explain:

Companies like Sony have manufacturing plants over seas.

Every time they ship out product, it goes to distribution facilities for many different retailers.

The stores buy product in bulk from companies like Sony, so they can put it in their retail stores and turn around and sell it to make a product.

Its a fairly simple system.

Always bear in mind that when stores receive product in on their trucks. They're not receiving it directly through the manufacturer, but through their own distribution facilities.

That's why when you go into a Best Buy and look at the Manufacture Date for a 360 it's always about 5-6 months behind.

ummm no.....shipped does not equal sales.......



thats what i been tryin to tell  the lemmings..microsoft shipped 10.4 million..i know sony didnt sell 2 million yet..but i just wanted to get on some lemming nerves..lol..

so that's what the cows are working with right now for leverage?:( system wars is boring right now with the ps3 doing sub par

shipped to retailers is not the same thing as them actually selling it to actual gamers.

And that does matter to developers.

YEs. If consoles are sitting on shelves, then that means not as many people Acutally HAVE the console. That also means that not as many people will BUY the game..... simple

rehashes in higher resolution? how about heavenly sword, resistance, motorstorm, lair, eight days, uncharted? and who really cares if a lot of the ps3 exclusives are just continuations of previous titles? its those titles that bring a lot of PS fans back to the system... thats gotta be the stupidest thing i've read today. what will convince 10m more people to buy ps3's? the variety in games that made previous PS systems successful and that will come, videophiles who want blu-ray players, and europe once its finally launched. the ps3's big guns have yet to be released and its only a 3 month old machine. regarding europe, obviously a lot of europeans are excited about the ps3. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/gaming/a42660/playstation-3-enjoys-record-pre-orders.html?rsshttp://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=22810 and btw, those numbers are most likely units SOLD, because sony announced mid january that they already SHIPPED 2m units worldwide.

Hey PS3 guys, stop worrying about the 360 and look up ahead at the Wii.  It is the one you should worry about.  The 360 has an excuse you could use, like it's been out for a year, but how do you explain the Wii.

You Ps3 guys absolutely refuse to admit ownage by a cheaper machine, that is not as powerful as you $600 waste of money.  Instead, you continue to argue with the 360 guys, so you can ignor the Nintendo factor.... you have been owned.  Blu Ray---- got about the same chance as that other sony bomb-- UMD.... or do they even call it that anymore or is it just "available on DVD and PSP."  Another joke.

PS3 find a dreamcast and clean off a spot next to it, cause you gonna be sittin there soon after the EU launch bombs like the US one did.

i honestly don't see the Wii as the ps3 or 360's direct competition. the Wii is great considering what it is and i do think that it will probably win this gen in sales, because of who its targeted towards (casual gamers). thats not to say hardcore gamers don't like the wii as well, many certainly do, and thats why i think it will win in sales. regarding blu-ray, you obviously know very little about the format war. UMD was not meant to replace nor compete with anything and it was sony's product. Blu-ray has HUNDREDS of companies backing it up, and they did not pioneer the Blu-ray technology single handedly. they have companies helping them, similar to the ones who helped them pioneer the successful media formats such as the CD-R and DVD+RW formats (sony was part of both). the only reason betamax didn't beat out VHS (betamax was actually better) is because they didnt have the movie contracts and they didn't win over the consumer market. this time they have MORE studio contracts than HD-DVD and theyre winning in sales as well (3:1 last i checked - due to the PS3's launch most likely). its only a matter of time before blu-ray beats out HD-DVD imo. and like i said, the PS name is VERY popular in europe... it won't bomb there... in your dreams. look at the articles i posted above... ps3 fail like dreamcast? don't be silly.

Dude, 360 has no excuse at all if anything it should be selling MORE then these other two considering it has been out one year. It has a better library of games and is cheaper then PS3 yet sales have slowed.

However, that is also not true. If shipped consoles do not sell through to customers, then the stores will not order more consoles. Is this a hard thing for people to understand? The sell-through rate to customers IS more important than the shipped-to-stores rate because the sell-through rate determines how many more consoles, if any at all, will be bought by stores after their stock sells out.

sequels are not rehashes...PS3 getting oblivion after the 360 version has been out for a year is a rehash, PS3 getting Ninja Gaiden Sigma this year, a game which came out on the ORIGINAL xbox, is a rehash

are you referring to my post? i wasn't making any kind of qualitative judgements on whether rehashes are worth getting or not...i was simply defining what a rehash was because the other poster seemed to think rehashes = sequels

I'm not sure that because some random nobody site says it that I should believe.  They don't cite their numbers from a source or declare them as estimates, so I'm curious as to where they came from.  I'm not saying they're untrue, I'm just saying I'd like some reasoning or proof.

Umm why do the ignorant claim PS2 hasnt sold over 2 million yet ?

  As of 31st Dec 2006 PS3 had shipped over 1 million units to North America ...
  As of 2nd weEk Jan PS3 had shipped over 1 million units to Japan ...

  so its clear that when when sites are claiming SONY has broken the 2 million SOLD barrier -- SOLD not shipped ( and Microsoft sold = shipped ... read their finanical statements they even say "sold and shipped to retailers" ) ...

 AND in Japan PS3 sales are starting to pick up again after falling week after week ... dont try and say this is bad news for PS3 -- if 360 sales in Japan jumped like this every1 would agree 360 was would be selling ALOT better ... but when its PS3 no one cares ...

 As for Wii ... well its sales have been incredable and i just wonder how long untill the novelty wears off and sales begin to fall ( even Nintnendo is being cautious ... the DS may be winning in the handheld sector but handheld =/= console ) ...

Please think before you speak. You insult the human race with comments like that.

Shipped = the same as sold

Let me explain:

Companies like Sony have manufacturing plants over seas.

Every time they ship out product, it goes to distribution facilities for many different retailers.

The stores buy product in bulk from companies like Sony, so they can put it in their retail stores and turn around and sell it to make a product.

Its a fairly simple system.

Always bear in mind that when stores receive product in on their trucks. They're not receiving it directly through the manufacturer, but through their own distribution facilities.

That's why when you go into a Best Buy and look at the Manufacture Date for a 360 it's always about 5-6 months behind.

Sold refers to being in consumers hands. Sit down, fanboy.

ok so its been....3 months....1/4 of a year....and they only have about 1/5th of the sales taht the 360 had....or is that wrong?eddy_of_york
1. PS3 has only been launched in N/A and Japan. European launch is scheduled for March 23rd this year and there is plenty of supply as well as more content available for the European launch. getting Casino Royale on Blu-ray for free doesn't hurt either (man, i wish i got that instead of Talladega Nights =[). I see the N/A and Japan launch as an early launch for us hardcore fanboys to get a taste of the system. i see the European launch as the true launch of the PS3, and obviously, Europeans are very excited about the PS3. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/gaming/a42660/playstation-3-enjoys-record-pre-orders.html?rss http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=22810 2. PS3's big titles have yet to be released such as MGS, GT, FF, Tekken, and DMC. these games sold millions of copies on the PS2. then theres the new titles yet to be released, like Heavenly Sword, Lair, Uncharted, Eight Days and Motorstorm. Not to mention the multiplat games, because you know, not everyone owns a 360. right now, Resistance, and i guess you could throw in GT:HD (and VF5 in Japan and soon N/A) are the only games worth getting for the PS3 right now IMO, yet it sold 2m units. just imagine when more games are released. 3. Holiday season. PS3 pretty much missed last years holiday season because of manufacturing problems. they only managed to get something like 197000 units on launch. not until AFTER christmas did they start manufacturing PS3's in a steady rate. 360 got to enjoy 2 holiday seasons in its full year (and 1 entire year with no true competition even available) 4. the 360 did not sell 10m units in a year. 5. theres still another 5+ years left before the NEXT gen consoles are launched, so theres LOTS of time for the PS3 to catch up in sales. i think thats proof enough that the PS3 will do fine. but only time will tell i guess.

ok by the comments of shipped, sold not = the same. That would means when Microsoft said they sold 10 million units buy the end of 2006, but they didn't they only shipped out that many - and you think that there is alot of time for PS3 to catch up, how can they catch up if you see them on store shelfs and not find a Nintendo WII seeing how they were released the same time + Nintendo WII has shipped out the same amount as that. Now lets look back on the x360 release was hard to find until april - 7 moths later - we are still 2 months away from that same release time that sony had so tell me what is going wrong? and I own all systems I just find incompetent threads like this headaches

No, and he ain't a fanboy he is right. When you freaking ship a console to lets say Walmart, sony gets its $ from Walmart, it's up to walmart to sell the console. The only way that console could be retourned back to sony is if it doesn't work and is still under warranty.

360 had VERY limited supply. Sony (and Nintendo) has supplied FAR more units than the 360 did. thats why the PS3 sold more units than the 360 did in its first few months. don't go by how many ps3's you see in stores... go by actual sale numbers. and you know, not every city in N/A has PS3's in stock; a lot of cities are still sold out (here is an example). also, most big name retailers are sold out for online orders as well (where A LOT of the stock goes). also, PS3 has yet to get its price cuts. do you know how many people aren't buying the PS3 because of the price? and do you know how many people (even PS fanboys) are waiting to buy PS3's when more games are released? theres LOTS of time for the ps3 to catch up. maybe not to the wii (i didn't say it would, although i wouldn't be surprised if it did). i think the wii will definitely pass the 360 in sales. but again, i dont see the wii as the ps3 or 360's direct competition. its price and targeted audience are the reasons why.

From the article:

"Sony expects to reach 6 million PS3 units shipped by Mar. 2007."



So Sony has shipped 2 million consoles worldwide but plans on shipping another 4 million in the next 2 weeks?

Even when you include the launch in Europe (consisting of 1 million units) the claim seems utterly ludacris.

Sony shipped 2m units in mid January. this is why i think this article actually means that the ps3 SOLD 2 million units. http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=12408 Sony had manufacturing problems until late December (right after christmas) but since then, they've been manufacturing in a steady rate. still, 6million is kind of hard to believe, although i wouldn't be surprised if they met that target.

I don't these the fellas who wrote this article have been properly informed since I'm nearly positive (unless my memory is dying) that Sony lowered their target to 4 million by the end of March which seems reasonable I suppose.
