Sales numbers are the closest thing to the voice of the people that we have. The summer adaptors have spoken loud and clear as X360 outsold PS3 yet again, this time by a wider margin: 80,000 units. I dont see anything that can possibly turn the tables. If PS3 NEXT MONTH miraculously turns the tables and begins outselling the 360 by 80,000 units per month from here on out (anyone with half a brain knows this wont happen and the 360 will likely continue to outsell the PS3 for some time), it will take only 100 months for the PS3 to tie the 360. Thats 8 and a third years folks, this gen will be long over.

PS3 = LAST Place This Gen

Well, considering it will still be around 5 years after the Wii and Xbox 360 are in the next gen I believe it will catch up in sales for last gen consoles.

Meh. I honestly dont think PS3 sales are a priority to Sony right now considering they lose money for every ps3 sold. I think theyd be more interested in getting production costs down, and if they can do that I think the PS3 will start catching up to the 360 and maybe even pass it.

At that point it will seem like an after thought, if that even happens. People will be playing 360 just as long as they will PS3

I think over its lifetime the PS3 will out sell the 360. I cant see the 360 still being made in its 10th year.

Wait, considering the Xbox 360 has a 5 year life cycle and it was released in 2010.. Doesn't that mean it will end next year..?

People care about previous gen systems when the new stuff is out? Do you seriously still care about the PS2? I can understand if you don't have any "next gen" systems, but when the new systems hit, no one follows the previous generations. If they did, you would constantly hear about how the PS2 continues to dominate everything else, yet when was the last time anyone mentioned the PS2 as the number one console in sales this generation? Is it not always "Wii, 360, PS3"?

Both the Wii and Xbox 360 stated that, not going to search for the source.

There is nothing to indicate this considering the 260 is selling better. PS1 and PS2 lasted as long as they did because they sold so well. For now there is nothing to indicate the 360 will not last as long as the PS3. They will both be made untill they stop selling.

I think i would take more than 20 years tbh :P Well if the 360 does keep up with the PS3's 10 year life cycle, I guess it will be a close race.

Why is the PS2 still in production? Why was the Xbox dropped? The answers to those questions are known and are far more important than the 'companys track records'.

I am pretty sure Ford didn't expect the Edsel to die almost immediately. And I am pretty sure no one expected the original VW Beetle to be produced for 40 years.

Yandere

only reason xbox only lasted 5 years was ms was taking losses on each system sold. and it was`nt getting much 3rd party suport. this gen 360 been making money each system sold and they are the kings of 3rd party sales. if anyone thinks ms isnt gonna milk the 360 for all shes worth is crazy and blind lol... 360 will last as long as ps3. end of story

Actually the better thing to go on would be profitability of the consoles. The xbox was expensive to produce. That's why it was dropped. Just like which console this gen?

Possibly, because so few relatively will buy them. Franchises with poor sales don't tend to see sequels.

Its called a price cut dumba$$

xXSpAgeTTxX
And there's an answer to that--already having a lower price even after the cut...and being able to match or even pre-empt the cut with one of your own. Remember, the 360 is in the black, the PS3...not so certain.

did u not see the sales?? It would have to sell 80 000 more per year for 8 years to TIE the xbox 360 sales and thats if the xbox 360 stops selling for the next 8 years

The best chances they have are:

A) A Price drop

B) Final Fantasy 13

C) Outlasting the 360 (though by the end of it, no one will care because the next generation will be where it's at)
