Monthly sales
Note:This is in NA (X360's strongest region)
360's 294,000 units
PS3's 243,554 units
Over 50k but still, this is The X360's Best region and the PS3 has ZERO games and costs $600.

It'll only be 30k behind this month and less than that in March.

The X360 either needs a price drop or some more games or both.

Less people have a PS3 then the 360, so its only natural it would be selling. Its not like no one wants one.

All I know is when I was out of town for business and got bored and bought a PS3, I regret it still to this day. I missed my 360 so much due to lack of titles. RFOM was all I was interested in buying and it got set aside for GT4.

You deliberately left out the fact that 360 has been on sales for a year longer, and it's demand should be less than a PS3, a unit that only been on the shelves for 3 months. Which is not the case. Seriously, self owned.

You're ignoring the fact that the 360 has been out for an entire year longer - and has like a 4 million unit lead. :|

360 Just Got GeOW. The games easily sold Million of 360s

Expect in February with VF5 for PS3 here the Gap closes

And in march when Oblivion, Motorstorm, etc etc get release am expecting PS3 on top

Heck compare PS3's launch NA sales Vs 360's. PS3 leads it

You yourself said that the 360 is outsold the PS3 by 50K. If the 360 has consistently been outselling the PS3 since November, how is it losing any of it's lead? It's INCREASING it's lead, if anything :|

PS3 isn't catching anyone as long as they're in last place in sales every month.  Even once the PS3 finally does get some games, it isn't like the other two consoles won't be getting their own as well.

The pent up demand for the PS3 was still there in January. Those that could not find the console in November or December made their purchases last month. The fanboy "Gotta have it" market is now saturated. Those who have been seeking to buy a PS3 now have their consoles. Now it will be up to, for lack of a better term, "normal" gamers to buy the console and keep sales rolling along for Sony.

The February sales figures will be interesting when they are released.

No. Compare 360's Launch Figures Vs PS3's.

You'd see comparing sales in launch months PS3 is outselling 360. Mark you this is 360's strongest Region.

360 has already been outdone in Japan and EU is looking to follow suit.

Sure GeOW help 360 take January, lets see 360 do that when PS3 gets its own heavy hitters

And this will make the 1 year lead disappear how? And you even admit that the price is big no-buy factor for the PS3. You shouldn't be happy that your console is playing catchup you know.

That could very well happen, but it's also entirely possible that sales may drop. It is very possible that consumers may be driven away by the higher price of the system.

No way. The amount of Known sellers coming to PS3 should see it leading in APril. Oblivion = Known seller, Vf has its fanbase, R-bow 6 should sell, Motorstrom seems to get some love from those who play it. wHATS  360 has to counter that???

Remember the Survey that showed 8.9 Million US consumers would pay $500 - $600?  I do. The fact that that many aren't sold, and even more games coming I doubt the sales would drop.

1.8 million is not close to 10.4 million.  (Those are the numbers, IIRC)

It's close on a smaller scale, like you said, however.  Keep in mind the 360 had a year earlier launch, and that the demand should be less.

Sure, they may say they can pay $500-$600 - it's always easier to say you can pay that much than to actually fork it over, a lot easier.

I don't know why people seem to be oblivious to price, like it doesn't matter. Price elasticity of demand is an important concept of economics, and nothing is immune to it - not even Sony Playstation consoles.

Yeah these killer apps you speak of all of them, but VF5 are already on 360 and should have minimal upgrades to them, they will not sell consoles, they will only sell themsleves. Why would you buy a ps3 for rainbow 6 or bolivion when you could buy a 360 and get them months before? A slight graphical upgrade? Is it worth it?

to everyone who is all worried about the ps3 catchin up to the 360, why dont you go out and buy another one. whats the big deal just another $600. and then maybe you will feel like you get the best next gen console. but all of that doesnt even matter. is sony writing you a check if they sell more than 360. then it really doesnt matter just enjoy your ps3 and dont care if its selling more. i personally got a wii, and while it may not sell the most or have the best next gen graphics, none of that matters because i like it and enjoy using the controller. so whats the point to arguing over meaningless numbers
