SONY: Worldwide PlayStation 3 sales reach 80 million

First of all what you are quoting here are shipments not actual units sold,so yeah the PS3 could be very well ahead,and is not the first time MS has been accuse of stuffing the channels to give better impression of sales,true is last month world wide even on US the PS3 actually beat the 360 in sales.

So while both are at 80 million shipped that doesn't mean they both are a 80 millions sold,the xbox 360 reach 80 million 16 days ahead of the PS3,while the PS3 is selling better even on US do the math if you know how to add.

See my last reply this are shipped numbers nos sold to costumers,so yeah MS shipped 80 million 16 days faster,now show me a place where the 360 is selling better.

Oh wait you miss last NPD the one were the PS3 actually break the 360 streak as best selling console on US,but wait EU is on lock on sony and on Japan the xbox 360 is dead since 2006.

1-Yes it release for $600 dollars and sold 3 times better than the original xbox did,not only that it tied with the xbox 360 which was up to $300 cheaper,Sony worse preformance = MS best one..lol is sad isn't.?

Sony financial problems are not the PS3 alone dude get your damn fact rights,sony has way more products than MS has.

To nintendo lets not forget the 30 million xbox 360 rebuys because of RROD now be honest lemming squad and tell me who of you don't own a slim 360 today.? hahaha

The xbox sold for $300 way more powerful than the PS2 and failed like few products has before it,so on a scale of failures things go like this..

100 million Wii.

80 million xbox 360

80 million PS3

Last gen.

155 million PS2

25 million xbox

24 million GC.

No matter who you slice it the xbox brand has been one of the biggest failures,it release a year before any one and it ended tied,worse losses were so high that still to this day they haven't make a single clean cent out of their division.

Is funny to watch this thread i should bookmarks for future quoting this holiday when NPD and charts all over the world start to show the PS4 beating the xbox one,but i guess then sales will not matter.

I will save you the pain i use neogaf and on neogaf VGchartzs is lols to so maybe you are confusing me with another cow,i don't use VGchartz.

@StrongDeadlift:

Not sure it matters? I guess console sales matter in regards to whether or not 3rd party devs are going to pay attention to your console of choice.

Both systems sold well, so 3rd party support was all but guaranteed.

Still, you may ruffle some cow fur (or is it hair?)

you start out good loling vgchartz but then you start arguing using vgchartz numbers saying they are spot on for 360 sales, you may not explicitly use it in your own threads but you are shown to often use it when it supports your anti all things microsoft agenda when you reply in threads dealing with sales.

And since most of the threads from gamespots old forums aren't archived or available I can guarantee since I found some evidence of you willing to argue using vgchartz that you have many other skeletons in the threads that are now inaccessible.

On topic: lol since 2010 Sheens have said the ps3 outsold the 360 13 or so times if not more, now what?

I like how he is defending and stating that VGchartz is credible as a source in that thread which goes completely against what he just posted in this thread .

The guy is a Clown !

haha cry some more. face it even with sony shooting their own foot ms couldnt put them to the sword. now the king has returned and ms will feel the wrath of kaz & co. haha

Kaz has to though or he will be sleeping under the bridge next to Iwata in a year !

Basically i make you look like a clown.

NO matter how bad sony did this gen they are tied with MS,even that they release a year latter for $600 dollars dude,spin that sh** all you want the PS2 and xbox were the same price and sony beat the crap out of MS last gen,this gen MS best efforts is a tied with sony worse performance ever.

The xbox division has been profitable for years,but losses were so high last gen and at the start of this gen that MS really hasn't make any true profits,charts had been posted here,year by year since 2002 and it end in MS loosing several billions.

Yeah sony hasn't make much if anything this gen,but they know what profits taste like in the industry sony MS hasn't taste yet.

Dude there is no 80 million sold in either part those are shipped numbers to retailers,so yeah both shipped 80 million MS shipped 80 16 days before sony did,which in nothing mean actual sold to costumers,and we all know who is selling more consoles.

Really do you have any number other than 80 million for MS.? Because it was 80 million so is PS3 and in 16 days on a time where the PS3 is selling better i don't really think MS is ahead.

Fine me a thread I MAKE USING VGchartz which is what he claimed...till then lol..

lol....That damage control...

You refuse to admit that MS best performance ever on the console market could only tied with sony worse performance ever...lol

Then you bringing the whole credict card crap that ended in nothing there was a 1 million dollar policy which no one got,because nothing happen and real code numbers were never on the hand on people,now unlike what has happen with xbox live since 2007,but in what does that has to do with sales.?

RROD bumped 360 sales,sony credit cards problems didn't bump PS3 sales.. lol

here take this, its for you. a decade of crying yourself to sleep awaits you. and i have xbox 360 since launch and a ps3 recently. truth hurts the lems

So PS3 came in 2nd place, nice to know. It's no wonder though, with the PS3 having so many world class exclusives and games and 2 games that made the top 5 of all video game history.

@not_wanted said:

lol wut? x360 78.8 mil link

ps3 80.4 mil

Wonder Woman ponders.

"Lems back on suicide watch. :)

It is strange that the 360 couldn't beat the PS3 in sales, even after a year head start. Looks like VGChartz more accurate than sw says so. But, we all know that the "LOLChartz" only comes from those who get owned by it. Xbox, last place two gens in a row, and starting off a third last in pre-orders. By the gods...."

quite the turnaround for Sony considering the first 1-2 years of the PS3 were pretty bad

LOL I remenber when the Cow was saying that ps3 outsold the xbox 360.

So is official xbox 360 won this gen !!!! sorry cow! xbox didnt need japan to outsold the ps3 wow !

Sony f%?K up big time with the ps3! especially that Sony combine the ps2 sale in the 80M! lol . Loser!

Reality check cow you lose !

Sony lost a gigantic chunk of market-share and has not made a pure profit since the PS3 release. I'm not sure if the gaming division has even had more than 3 profitable quarters in 6 years. MS sold 3x more 360's than Xbox and has over 45 million paying Xbox Live users. They won last gen, operate in the black, and have kicked Sony in the teeth. If you feel the PS3 is a better console, hey, that's your right. But facts are facts. PS4 is in last place as next gen begins, so it has lost current gen. If it eventually overtakes the 360 who in the hell cares, lol. MS has moved on to the One. Only Cows will give a rats ass :)

So Microsoft releases 80m total, Sony releases 80m total 2 weeks later and in that same time period sources (like NPD) have said PS3 outsold 360 in every region INCLUDING NA.

...and lems still think 360 sold more?

Hold onto the faith lems... it's all you got left.

@FragTycoon:

Xbox - Around 30million

Playstation 2 - Around 160 million

And now lets check the "Current-Gen"

Xbox 360 - 80million

Playstation 3 - 80million

Do the math !

you just got own! bye !

Seriously, stop it. You're just making a fool of yourself with those arguments. You're likely typing so fast, in a Cow Rage that your grammar is atrocious. Let it go. PS3 has great games and it was your choice. But numbers do not lie. They don't lie that the PS4 isn't more powerful than the Xbox One. That is fact. 360 has outsold the PS3 this gen. That is fact. You need to find a new stance to take and argue that. The PS3/360 console war is over. Deal with it like a man.

That was released Oct. 17. Two weeks ago. Doesn't matter what they were talking about.

Tormentos, just stop bud. Long time ago you should have stopped lol

It's good news and bad news.

Good news - Sony is making money and making room for the PS4.

Bad news - Developers/Publishers can't ignore a 80 million installed base and will continue pumping out current-gen titles ahead of Next-Gen titles.

This is the kind of deflecting angry reply SW has come to expect from Lems.

But hell, I'll go ahead and shoot down you're deflection as well.

There is no way you can tell me (or yourself for that matter) MS started this gen thinking being behind Sony would be a success.

But hay, keep spinning last to be first, it's been working for ya ;)

This is very, very true. For Xbox as well. There is nothing about the new BF4 or CoD that is next gen. Nothing. Its better looking current gen. And that sucks.

@FragTycoon: what you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this forum is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Oh I love a good cow tears thread. I need some popcorn right now.

Yes it is smarter since they can't lie about that. Also it's better because they aren't guessing.

LMAO.

So Sony's caught up. I like how people using that as some sort of badge of honor. It only took them seven years and when they did catch up, it really didn't mean a goddamn thing.

But in the end, 80 mil is a fine number even if it wasn't as successful as it's predecessor. The PS3 was/is a damn good console and I don't regret owning one.

Hahahahahaha1 So true.

MS:

Sony:

Who's going to be the happiest the company going from a 150 million selling console to a 80 million console and losing $5 billion or the company going from a 20 to 80 million selling console?

Is @tormentos really trying to damage control this saying its shipped not sold?

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Give up tormento. Last place. #dealwithit

How dare you bring common sense, facts, and a rational thought to System Wars? How dare you:)

And at a much higher price. Congrats Sony. Great effort.

Idiots like you always forget to add the massive advantages Sony had over MS yet they only just manage to draw.

So Sony and MS give their official numbers and Cows still get confused when someone starts waving the Lolchartz numbers .

Priceless !!

Still battling for second place?

I didn't know that barely achieving a stalemate is now considered a "major win"

Do you even know where Sony came from before the PS3 ??

You know if original Cows from 2006 could look in the future, see where the PS3 has ended and then read your post claiming ownage they would turn their faces away in disgust ................................and then club you to death .

So much damage control in this thread. I hated how Sony was allowed to blend PS2 and PS3 numbers together and of course Cows fell for it. If Sony had really sold more than the 360, you better believe they would have said it. \

Anyway...great numbers for both consoles. I think both will cross 100 million and maybe one of them will top the Wii.

Coming back to damn near tie a system that had a significant price advantage and a year head start is hardly something to be scoffed at. Probably the greatest turnaround for a console ever.

Good going. Amazing how Sony managed to turn the PS3 around from its initial disaster.

Yeah, the PS3 lost last gen no matter how you look at it.

@Zophar87: yeah, everyone conveniently ignores the fact the Wii spanked both, and it didn't need Assassin's Creed to do it.

80 MILLION >>> 78.8 MILLION

So the PS3 launched a year after and outsold the Xbox360?

hahahahahahaha

SDC.

Losing half your marketshare is something to scoff at though. A year head start or price advatage doesnt mean anything. Look at the Wii U

Somebody help this poor guy..

My friend, these are PS3 only sales and PS3 outsold 360.

80 mill >>> 78 mill

and thus SDC

PS3 is actually second place...

@mems_1224: Your right, I'm sure they didn't plan to lose that marketshare. However, I think making a direct comparison out of it is a bit silly. Just like Wii and Wii U, or DS and 3DS, they were around in very different environments. PS2 was around when the third party exclusive was a thing, it was the best choice among the consoles to get the most games. This gen couldn't have had a more fitting name then "HD twins".
