Sony and Nintendo will catch up to 360 by the end of the year

Being the only next gen console out I expected the Xbox 360 to sell more then 10 million but th fact is most 360's are sitting in store shelves gathering dust because yeah  Microsoft has sold 10 million but to retailers and definitely not to customers.

Microsoft will only be supplying 2 million consoles from now till June because there are SO MANY 360's sitting on shelves since they over delivered trying to fulfil their promise while PS3 is selling at a good rate which will increase next month because of so many good games getting released plus the European Launch . Nintendo Wii is soaring ahead and wil surely increase once fantastic titles like Mario Galaxy, SSBB and Metroid come out. GO NINTENDO :D

I expect that by June PS3 would have sold half of what 360 has sold and by the end of the year Sony/Nintendo would closed the gap between 360 and PS3 sales. Next year PS3 and Wii will overtake 360 guaranteed, you can quote me on that

Quoted For Truth.

last month Microsoft said that they will only ship 2 million 360's by June so thats would be like around 11 to 11.5 million in sales and Sony said they plan to ship 6 million PS3's by May. I reckon that in June Sony would have sold half of what 360 has sold.

In March PS3 would have came out in Europe and alot of fantastic games would be out; like VF5, MotorStorm, Lair, Heavenly Sword etc etc etc. There is already phenomenal demand in Europe for PS3 and the demand will increase in Japan and America dew to the amazing games.

By the end of the year the difference in sales between Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft will be minimal and next year Nintendo and Sony will overtake Microsoft, for sure

   Comparing the number of wiis sold at this point to the number of how many units the 360 sold within the same amount of time, it seems very likely that the wii will surpass the 360 before too long. I don't see where you get the idea that Sony is doing so great, though. The PS3 hasn't sold all that many units.

    Whenever I walk into a Wal-Mart, I regularly see PS3s sitting on the shelves with no one buying them. There are even more 360s sitting around, but that could only be expected after being available so long; PS3s should still be selling out quicker than they are. As for the wii, I have yet to even see one available yet. The retailers I've talked to say they all sell out within 30 minutes.

if sony fanboys are waiting for europe to save them ,you are going to be in for a big surprise. The thing with the ps3 is not that no one wants one, its just no one want to pay that much money for it, and it will be the same in europe as it has been here, it will be popular for maybe a month, then that will stop because there arent any games and it cost to much money.air0123

So why does the 360 still sell more each month than the newly released PS3? themyth01

LOL NPD put 360 over PS3 for Jan by around 50K. The new PS3 cant outsell the older 360.

thats because Sony are good with supply and demand, Sony are basically shipping PS3 units across America like every week. PS3 is doing better then the 360 in the same time frame and without any great games -apart from RFOM- just wait till next month when alot of fantastic games are going to be coming out.

PS3 has all ready beaten 360 in Japan and its only a matter of time till it beats 360 in America and Europe.

You want innovation you buy Wii, you want cutting edge tech you buy PS3, now where does this leave the 360, hmmm?

Microsofts lucky they had a year head start, their all ready lost 6 billion by joining the games industry and they will surely lose more if they continue. Microsoft are so scared about PS3 that they feel the need to get out an improved 360 with 120 gb, HDMI and what not. When are you 360 fans gonna wake up and smell the coffee, Microsoft left you stranded when you bought the original Xbox and now their leaving you stranded with the 360. Go ahead buy the PS3 or Wii, you wont regret it in the long run 8)

You definetly haven't been watching the slea numbers for PS3 have you

Wii might, but I doubt PS3 will even catch up to 360 in its lifetime.geist117

haha, Nice Joke. The truth is PS3 has already outsold 360 in Japan. And its been outselling 360 comparing launch month sVs 360.

Is everyone using "projected" sales figures until the end of 2007 for the 360 based on $400.00... because although not official, EVERYONE predicts a price drop this fall. If the Premium goes to $349.99 or even $299.99, then this entire thread is not relevant.remaGloohcSdlO

You know that the 360 outsold the PS3 by like 50k in January. That's pretty sad considering that the PS3 is brand new while the 360 is a year old.

Yea. Its called killer app GeOW. Bigg sales boost. PS3 has none yet. cuz its hasn't been out that long. 360 has been so its got one.  More importantly is PS3 is selling at a faster rate than 360 compared at the same point in time. Just watch march when oblivion, Motorstorm,  rainbow 6 etc come along.

Halo 3, GTAIV, Forza 2, Mass Effect + Price Drop = 360 wins 2007 would be my guess.

I will speak honest here.
The sales of Wii combined with its popularity show that MAYBE Wii will catch up with the 360 if this keeps up.I am a huge Nintendo fan and even i cant say for certain that Wii will catch up although it most propably will.

Now the question is......what makes you think PS3 will catch up with the 360? It has poor sales and the sales are not in any case connected with the lack of games in my opinion. What could possibly be your proof that PS3 will catch up with any of the other consoles?
Link_Sensei

I recently read that PS3 was the most pre ordered console in history. If that is the case then why is it selling so poorly and why are the sale numbers as compared to the other consoles so attrocious?

Too many people who think that they are oracles.

The GC sold incredibly well at launch and shortly after launch as well (in relation to the Wii). However, the GC's sales died out mid year quite quickly. The Xbox 360 has already proven that it is still selling well. Outselling both new Consoles at christmas time and still selling well to date.

Are they going to catch up? heh, no idea. Does it matter? Not really...the Wii's hype will die down though, just as every newer consoles' hype does (it's still running off of initial launch hype technically). Keep in mind that you could not find an Xbox 360 on store shelves readily until April/May of 2006 and the sales are still going. The Wii may see this same trend...or not. Has yet to be seen.

Being the only next gen console out I expected the Xbox 360 to sell more then 10 million but th fact is most 360's are sitting in store shelves gathering dust because yeah  Microsoft has sold 10 million but to retailers and definitely not to customers.

AB_Uppercut

I have to agree. 360 is a disaster.

I'm still laughing at how the Sony fanboys are forced to take a big giaint crap on the PS3's current game line-up in order to justify it not selling well.

Especially when just 1 month ago they were claiming the line-up was awesome :lol:
