If you want to counter a point about sales, VGChartz is not the way to go...nicenator

Where would you suggest?

That is awesome news. For the PS3. Considering the PS3 has only a handful of good exclusives and that 360 count includes at least the initial surge from Halo 3 then I would say the PS3 is more than holding its own. Now I do wonder at your choice of VGCharts though.GIJames248

I am glad you think that. I sure MS would settle for selling 1.5 million consoles a year more than Sony. The 360 has a fantastic attach rate so they would sells millions more copies of software as well.

Just thought I would remind us of these figures in response to the "PS3 outsells the 360 by almost 1million this year" threads.

The figures below are for the last six months so not to include any launch dates/pre-orders.

World-wide VGChartz Hardware data for the period 22nd Apr 2007 to 21st Oct 2007:

PS3 - 2,221,852

X360 - 3,072,974

[QUOTE="nicenator"]Well, i agree and disagree. For the hardcore gamers, the 360 is the only choice here. however, as Christmas comes around and parents and casuals are going out to buy presents, they're immediately put off by the lack of optional extras included with the 360 (and paying for onilne play). They don't feel they're getting value for money. While this may be superficial to us, i think it will not bode well for the 360 this christmas...-Serpahim-

I disagree with your point. If your a casual you gonna buy the Arcade version of the 360 for £200 or if you want to play online you will buy the Premuim for £250. Why would you buy the gimped 40gb PS3 for £300?

the "gimped" PS3 isnt all that gimped....heck it has more features than the "Elite X360"

What like no games, no BC, smaller hard drive, and no rumble.

We all know that the 360 is easily winning in the US and the PS3 is beating the 360 in Japan and Asia. But Europe is evenly balanced. The UK is the largest market in Europe and if you look at the numbers you will see how well the 360 has done compared to the other European countries. If you took out the UK from Europe then indeed Europe would be Sonyland. MS have realised that if they do a good job here in Britain then it would be difficult for Sony to win Europe.

This is the last six months sales: (vgchartz)

PS3 - 188,061

X360 - 366,759

The 360 is almost outselling the PS3 2:1

Just goes to prove that there really is a special bond between Britain and the US and we have similiar tastes in games.

No lag, check!

Idiot cow

Lag occurs in all of the on-line gaming platforms. Dedicated servers don't mean no lag fool. If there are players connected to that server that have a high ping than that will lag the server.

Last weeks American software numbers:

Software Totals: Console Weekly

1,324,565

444,262

I would not expect it to last.

After the last cut a couple of weeks went past and then the 360 started kicking its arse again.
