The years that both the PS3 and 360 have been out the PS3 has outsold the 360 by over 3 million worldwide to date. The PS3 has increasingly outsold the 360 each year since it's release, but at a slow rate. This brings the lead to currently 3.8 million for 360. This means that the 360 had sold around 7 million it's first year out with no competition by the Wii or PS3. If the PS3 continues to outpace the 360 increasingly in each 2011 and 2012 as it has done in it's first 4 years then the PS3 will finish ahead of 360 before the end of this generation.

Yes it's from VG Chartz, but analysts with other companies have also said this. PS3 has been slowly eating away that 1 year headstart lead that the 360 got.

I could tell you to look at the North American numbers that show the 360 outselling the PS3, even widening its lead, but then I'd be diving into these sales figures arguments that I really despise....

Sales figures are meaningless unless they are so skewed as to affect whether games will be made for one console. That's not the case, and will never be the case for the 360 or PS3 (at least until the next gen consoles are released). Both are doing fine and companies will continue to make great games for both.

I just don't get the focus on sales figures in System Wars. It's not like anyone here get's something extra if the 360 outsales the PS3, or vice versa, so what's the point? I mean, it's interesting to see where the market is at, but beyond that, who cares?

I've learned VGchartz isn't welcome here.

Regardless, 360 almost always wins in NA, which is what is focused on soo heavily here. World Wide, ps3 is about to win. Honestly, I stopped caring 2 years ago, lolz. They're both great systems to own.

PS3 is still last get over it dude , even if it takes over SECOND PLACE the XBOX brand has accomplished it's goal. Do you understand this ?, the Playstation brand went from total dominance to struggling for SECOND PLACE. There is NOTHING Playstation can do to change this.

Very true, The PS3 is not winning. The Wii was the big winner followed by the 360, they destroyed Sony's dominance in the console industry. Sony got arrogant and cocky and deserve to be where they are.....struggling in last place!!!

has the ps3 passed the 360 world wide in software sales and hardware sales totals yet? they haven't? okay then when they do get back to me and I'll tell you if it means anything...If they had managed the feet by last year or even this year then it meant something...if it takes another 2 years then it means nothing.

Your own source has the 360 outselling the PS3 in both 2007 and 2008. So, WTF are you talking about? Perhaps you should read your own source again and understand what it says before you post inaccuracies.

Win what may i ask? Sony has lost this gen even if it beats MS, Sony have won nothing and lost a huge share of the market to Nintendo and MS.

Even if the PS3 takes 2nd place it's truly lost as a brand. MS have taken a huge lump of their marketshare. The PS3 will never overtake the wii. It's actually a success for MS to have put the PS brand into last place. I don't personally care for sales. I prefer good games, but you can't deny how well MS had done.

Threads like this are basically the equivalent of a person sticking their fingers in their ears and singing loudly. You can spin the argument i whatever way you see fit, but 2005 and 2006 did happen (I have proof:P ), and the truth is that the PS3 is still in 3rd place and will be for at least another year. But when it finally does pass the 360, what happens? I think the statute of limitations on "I told you so" will have expired by then, no?

Let me tell you something straight , and as a more sony fan than anything else. Are you proud enough as a PS fan , when PSone and PS2 were the best consoles ever on their time , to say "" We are at 3rd place , lost billions in the first 4 years , but we are "better" because somewhere in 2011 or 2012 ( 6-7 years after release ) we might surpass the second on this gen Console race "" SONY , console/sales wise , it FAILED. period. And this comes from a sony fan ( not that i bought PS3 but i was huge PSone and PS2 fan and if PS3 wasnt that crap i might had one already imho ) Now, please with this PS3 will catch up X360... 2 years now im hearing the same thing. And to close this , in 2012 youll probably have PS4 and X720 so noone will care if PS3 will surpass X360 by then. Period

So for the last... what, 10% of the gen?... it will have sold more consoles than the 360. So that makes the 360 leading for 90%, PS3 leading for 10%. What prize does Sony get for that? A welcome to 3rd place bouquet from the Wii and PC? Fission Mailed on your thread, TC.

VGChartz makes up numbers

And the ones they don't make up, they tend to steal from other places, no matter if those numbers are wrong or right.
