Amazon has a great deal on the 160 GB version for only $300 and they give you a $75 store credit. This is like buying a PS3 for $225 with no tax and free shipping for me because I shop at Amazon quite often and am a prime member.

Also, I just bought during black friday a 58" 1080p Panasonic Plasma for my bedroom and I currently don't have a blu-ray player there. So it would be very convenient to use the PS3 as a blu-ray player. But I can buy a cheap blu-ray player so I don't know.

The reason i'm hesitating so much is that I already own an Xbox 360 and the PS3 pretty much has the same games. Yes there are some exclusives but I don't know.

Games I would want are MGS4, Uncharted 2, GOW3 and I was hyped about GT5 but I refuse to play a racing game with 800 crap cars. I know that will piss me off.

What else is there? Please convince me to pony up and buy a PS3 cause I do think it's a good deal at this price.

One more thing, I also saw a Wii bundle with sports resort and Wii motion plus for $177 so that's an option too.

[QUOTE="FIipMode"]How are the PS3 numbers looking that much worse again?

FIipMode

I believe they will. Watch the trailer and realize why the move to next gen consoles is something positive that we should be looking forward to.

[QUOTE="tbolt76"][QUOTE="FIipMode"]When worldwide numbers are aggregated, the PS3 does outsell the 360, like last quarter for example. 2.8 mil, to 3.5 million, unless when you say more 360s are sold you just mean overall for the entire lifetime of both consoles.

Everything the Xbox 360 had done was already been done on one system. Everything the Xbox 360 will do was been or will be done on one system. The PC =) lol and I am not trolling but its truth.ShadowDeathX

Do you know that your same argument also works against the Xbox 360?

With the 360's NPD estimates, 356,700, 483,989, 443,500, that adds up to 1,284,189 consoles sold. And they sold about 63,301 360s in that same time period in Japan per Media Create.

So if you're relying exclusively on NPD and Media Create estimates, that means the 360 sold about 1.5 million 360s in Europe. That means it sold better in Europe than in America. Does that match up with reality?

Then why is it as of December 2009, the 360 sold 18.6 million in the United States [link] and only 10 million in EMEA [link]?

The simple answer is that shipment numbers should not be directly compared/used in conjunction with Media Create and NPD estimates.

Ok, some posters in here are pushing around "facts" about the PS3 selling 3.5 million hardware units worldwide for the months of July, August and September. Well, let's break down the numbers.

North America as per NPD

Septermber 2010

Playstation 3 - 312,000

August 2010

Playstation 3 - 212,000

July 2010

Playstation 3 - 214,500


Japan Sales numbers as per Media Create

http://www.next-gen.biz/news/japan-ps3-sales-surpass-wii%E2%80%99s-in-2010

This is Media Create tracking PS3 sales from January 4, 2010 - September 12, 2010 - Total =1,017,094

Those are sales for 9 months, so you have to subtract quite a bit from that to arrive at the July, August and September numbers.

I noticed the PS3 sales approx 20,000 to 25,000 per week in Japan. So let's say they sold in those 3 months 300,000 units.

July, August and September = approx 300,000

Europe Sales figures

I can't find numbers for the PS3 here.

Totals

Let's add up the different regions


US totals = 738,500

Japan totals = 300,000

US and Japan totals = 1,038,500

Europe ?

If you believe the numbers then the PS3 sold 2,461,500 in 3 months in Europe.

That would equal 820,500 hardware units sold per month in Europe.

The PS3 has been out in Europe for over 55 months. If they sold 820,500 for each of those months that would equal an over 45 million installed base in Europe.

We all know that the PS3 has not sold that many consoles even worldwide.

Can someone please explain to me how the PS3 managed to sell 3.5 million consoles worldwide? If you can do a better break down of the different regions then please be my guest.
