Who sells more games, Xbox 360 vs PS3?

just wondering what do you guys think, and will the trend continue? My guess is the 360.

Is this thread serious?_Cadbury_

We talking worldwide or America

usually Western games sell slightly better on the Xbox

while some easter (especially Japanesse) Do much better on playstation

PS3, of course. And this trend will continue.

worldwide.

360 obviously, but the PS3 is on track to outsell 360 the rest of the gen.

Depends heavily on genre, FPS' and wrpgs sell more on the x360 while jrpgs, racing and platform games sell more on the PS3. Sports game depend on the sport, with games like NFL selling better on x360 since it dominates the USA market and games like FIFA selling better on the PS3 since it dominates the European and Japanese markets.

xbox 360 games generally sell more tha ps3.

I love these type of threads :lol:

I'm surprised we haven't seen solid numbers yet.

PS3 sells more software. Link.

Dunno why you want to know but whatev.

I was under teh impression that 360 usualy sells more of a given multiplatform game.

PS3 software sales rose during Sony's most recent fiscal year, (May 1, 2009 - April 30 2010) jumping from 2008's 103.7 million units sold to 115.6 million units sold.

This performance was greater than that of Sony's main competitor, Microsoft's Xbox 360, which sold 103.1 million units. This boost undoubtedly was, in at least in some part, an effect of such high profile PS3 exclusives as Heavy Rain, MAG and God of War III, as well as the introduction of the "slim" model PS3 last September.

that is all. ;)

Common Sense says 360.

• More Hardware units sold
• It's generally accepted that they have the better mutliplats, except in rare cases
• The NPD almost always agrees with me

Chutebox

Yes Reach and Black Ops are enough for MS. Im sure mafia 2 is selling better on the 360, Fable 3 will sell as much as LBP2, reach will trample the competition, GT5 will sell alot, but reach will pace much better.

I wouldn't call getting outsold nearly 2:1 on one of the most popular games released (MW2) or by greater than 50% on a game that orginated with the PS (GTAIV) as slightly.

well I know you are hoping for the PS3 sake, but I feel confident in MS. Time will tell :wink:

DLC past sales were pretty inferior to 360 in the COD series. It will do decent but wont be that close to 360.

But we shouldnt use Past stuff to say FOR SURE that itll sell more on 360. Theres a good chance, but its not guranteed.

very good chance, rarely does PS3 outpace the 360 in multiplats anyway so I dont think nothing is going to change. Strong strong odds that black ops will sell best on 360.

It depends whos numbers your looking at. Im sure I can find a list of games that sold more on PS3 in teh UK or whatever. Anyway, thats to be expected since theyres more consoles sold, so naturaly their going to sell more.

*laughs* the source is examiner.com...which is using...Playstation university as its source. Here's some info, examiner.com is a blog type news reporting site, most any one can start writing articles for it, lets see its written by someone who writes ps3 material over there, its a user not a professional source, and it uses playstation university as the source for the numbers.

The numbers in the link are derived from Sony's financial reports data and calculation from Microsoft's hardware data and (US) tie ratio.

The 103.1 software shipment figure is based on the following.

MSFT Q309 LTD Hardware 30.2 million x MSFT (US) Q309 tie ratio 8.3 = 250.66 million LTD software units shipped

MSFT Q309 LTD Hardware 40.2 million x MSFT (US) Q310 tie ratio 8.8 = 353.76 million LTD software units shipped

353.76 - 250.66 = 103.1 million software units shipped.

Period of time covered = 12 months, the same calendar months as Sony's fiscal year.
