First 4 months of console sales in USA, looks like 360 is worst on the list. Funny how numbers change.

Discuss!

Edit: Updated List, thanks g!

So you admit a 600 dollar can supply faster than a 400 dollar one? Interesting...

PS3 launched a year later than the 360, I would expect Sony, a wolrd leader in electronics hardware, to produce more consoles than Microsoft. :|

Those are figures for NA only, which happened to be Xbox and GC's strongest market. 360 and Wii are/were affected by shortages, and I don't know what PS2's situation was.

That was their first 4 months bc meaning when they launched.
And to thristy, I understand why PS3 has more, yet people complain about Wii. Last time I checked Core is 300 and Wii is 250, they should have same supply! Also, XB has most sales. I thought 360 would have same.

Why don't you look at the same period a year later when the 360 supply was ample and you'll see the 360 (a one year old console) outselling the PS3.

Well, sure if you factor in almost the entire 6 months to a year Sony pushed back their launch because of manufacturing problems... :|

1 year and 4 months of sale vs 4 months of sales? Of course it is going to sale more, there would be a problem if their wasn't.

Think of it this way: MS sold 1 million in 4 months, and 9x that in 2x the time. You can't extrapolate the chart and claim that it will be correct. Any number of things can happen, and with the PS3 losing 82% of it's sales in Europe (their biggest consumer according to cows) I highly doubt the PS3 will take the same positive path that the 360 did.

And you act like it isn't a big deal.Had there not been shortages the Xbox 360's numbers would have been massive. There was a lot of demand for it when it came out, everyone was looking for them frantically. I just can't figure out how you think that isn't a big deal.

That very thing could be said about the Wii. His point was that the shortages were Microsoft's own fault, and therefore cannot be used as an excuse.

That doesn't even make sense.  The price of a console has nothing to do with the supply of the console.

You are right, but the point I was saying was why 360 have more shortage than XB? XB almost sold the rate of the Wii at launch. Halo was a big console seller. I guess 360 didn't have a console selling game like XB did.

Yeah, America has a funny way of working. I thought PS3 would never outsell 360, but it did comparing time spans. Wii Sports helped the Wii, that was its killer amp.

First 4 months of console sales, looks like 360 is worst on the list. Funny how numbers change.

Actually that would be Wii, it is selling fastest in US.
Wii is dominating Japan and US, I just hope this will mean it will NOT lose in the end...

not really depending how you look at it.  if there were enough 360s at launh everyone would have gotten one then the other who are on the fence will still be on the fence and sales will drop. pretty much it would be like the ps3 launch everyone who wanted one would get one and the sales would be huge then shortly after the sales would plumet.

I think it was due to so so launch, the sales as you can see help if you have a killer amp at launch. N64 had SM64 and XB had Halo. Wii's was Wii Sports. Just goes to show PS3 has chance if it makes a killer exclusive amp.

Due to more titles being out, Dead Rising and Gears hands down made 360 more of a buy than PS3. I am a cow now? That is funny, I don't even have a PS3 yet.

I'm a sheep, but I have a sweet HDTV, so I'm getting either a PS3 or 360 this year. Still not sure. That said, I can respect the fact that the PS3 seems more reliable than the 360 in terms of working properly and not breaking down. I cannot stand it when a product doesn't work the way it is supposed to (that is why I never bought a PS2.. didnt want it to break down). I love Nintendo products still, but I think I'm gonna get a PS3 then a Wii later. The PS3 is doing pretty good in sales considering it's price. I never would've thought it would sell that good.

So you admit a 600 dollar can supply faster than a 400 dollar one? Interesting...

PS3 launched a year later than the 360, I would expect Sony, a wolrd leader in electronics hardware, to produce more consoles than Microsoft. :|

Have you read your own posts in this thread?

PS. Gears and Dead Rising weren't out in the 360's first 4 months...

So I tell what the chart says and I defend PS3 due to SW constantly bash it and I am a cow? Please, PS3 has chance to win just like 360 and Wii. I had to make a topic due to the facts that you can't compare 360 now to PS3 in sales. PS3 may just be like 360 and waiting for a huge boost due to a game. Gears probably sold 7-8 million 360s due to its name. Also, I wanted to get the point people buy system for games, not brand. So the whole fanboy theory is one that is flawed. The system that wins will have the best games, end of story.
