Woah, wait a minute, why are we comparing the sales of the 360 and the ps3?

Alright everyone has the idea the xbox 360 has sold out the ps3. Which in terms of units it has. However according to nexgenwars.com (the accuarcy of this website might be in question) the 360 has sold 28 million units. The ps3 has sold 21 million. Now if the 360 has been out a year longer it doesn't take a PhD in math to figure out that both consoles are averaging 7 million unit sales a year. It seems like all the 360 fanyboys have this misconception that no one is buying a ps3.

I'd rather stick with vgchartz since it says 360 surpassed 30 mil around the same time MS announced that.

I don't think anybody has the misconception that PS3 is not selling. I just think it's the point that the 360 sales are higher than PS3 sales.

If it wasn't selling, it wouldn't be sat at 21 million odd :P

Worldwide or what? Anyways, it doesn't matter cause the PS3 is still outsold. It doesn't take a Ph.D. in math to figure that out.

I think the ps3 is outselling 360 per year a little bit more but if you round it they're basically selling the same amount a year. So TC u do speak the truth.

It's SW, sales are something to talk about, it's not a big deal though.

ALL THREE CONSOLES are selling quite well.

I don't know where you've been the last four years, but the 360 came out an entire year before, and I stress the point before, the ps3.

I think he means month to month, year to year the 360 sells more. That gap has only widened between the PS3 and 360, it hasn't gotten smaller.

Yea, so someone find out what 360 total sales were for 11/05 to 11/06. That:s the year jump. PS2 had the jump on original xbox also. And the Wii is spanking both, so who cares....I'm not getting a piece of the money from any of them.

Forget the head start, 360 is outselling PS3 every year they have been out together.

But that doesn't matter. All 3 systems are doing extremely well compared to previous generations.

Everything fanboys do in SW is pointless. So trying to make sense out of it, is an even bigger waste of time.

From what I know the 360 had about 6.73 million units sold when the PS3 launched. Now (not going by your numbers) I mainly read that the 360 has broken 30 million, and the PS3 is around 22 million. So, the 360 has actually increased it's lead over the PS3 since it launched which is great considering the PS2 sold like 7x as many units as the original Xbox.

I haven't seen nexgenwars used since the start of this generation.

Why wouldn't we compare the two? They are the two competing HD consoles, and the 1 year head start doesn't mean it's impossible to compare them.

I think its more that the Sony fans crow "PS3 will crush the 360 in 20xx" or "PS3 outsold the 360 in 200x!!!" Then when its apparent it either didn't or if it did it did so by a tiny amount, they instantly start not caring about sales again, until the PS3 outsells the Wii in Japan or something.

The problem is that PS3 does not close the gap at all
