Microsoft released a report on the sales of Xbox 360 for 2008 claiming that Xbox 360 sold more than 28 million units in 2008

Everyone of them obviously.

The whole worlds Xbox's broke so we all had to replace them at the same time which is why the Xbox is outselling the PS3. Has nothing at all to do with the Kinect and the new Xbox Slim

since November 17, 2006 PS3 has outsold 360 no matter how u want to try and skew the numbers. xbox sold over 6 million before November 17, 2006.

Their total numbers now are:
360-45.2
PS3-41.2

how the frick are you gonna argue that 45.2 - 6 isn't 39.2 million?

I am trading my PS3 in for an xbox soon fwiw as a result of the masses liking xbox better.


I have found lowest common denominator to be a solid reason for choosing something IMO

Was the article dated 2008?

That sounds like it may make sense.

Everywhere I look in my area Xbox is sold out. Now keep in mind the area I live when PS3's were "hot" when the prices dropped, no one could find them. I found them where I live.

When Wii's were sold out everywhere, I found them.

This is the first time any current gen consoles have completely sold out where I live. I asked the Best Buy guy why. He said Kinect. People came in the store, tried it, loved it, bought a 360.

Most of PS3 sales are Japan anyway.

quote:

1.Wii – 10,790,000 as of 30 September 2010 (2010 -09-30)[update][8]
2.PlayStation 3 – 4,020,563 as of 17 May 2010 (2010 -05-17)[update][32]
3.Xbox 360 – 900,000 As of 5 February 2010 (2010 -02-05)[update]


Where as right here in the good ole US of A where you will be linked to for online play 90% of the time


quote:

United States sales figures
1.Wii – 30 million as of 10 August 2010 (2010 -08-10)[update][38]
2.Xbox 360 – 18.6 million as of 31 December 2009 (2009 -12-31)[update][39]
3.PlayStation 3 - nearly 12 million as of 14 April 2010 (2010 -04-14)[update][



Xbox numbers are 4 months behind on there and not taking into account the past 6 months of sales.

360 is lighting up december and november because of Kinect. I think PS3 will overtake 360 in sales eventually, but I don't think it is happeneing this year.

Masses like it better for the online play. Not cause we are the lowest common denominator. I have both and if PSn was better I would play on it more. PS3, even outside of Black Ops, is known for having not near as good as servers for their online as well as the service.

On the server issue. The same update on Xbox vs PS3 takes me 30 seconds vs 15 minutes and then like last night no problem downloading it on Xbox but had problems getting it on PS3.

I meant as far as them catching up. It's due largley to Japan

USA sales means more to developers like Treyarch since that is where the games like Black Ops will do 90% of it's business. Not saying it is right but it really may be a reality why Activision made the deals with Xbox it has and why y'all got a port.

No...like minded people tend to gravitate towards each other.

So you and Diz, and AntiHeroaz and other douches love to play pinch and tickle.

You cant hang with the high society PS3 has to offer.



Too bad Mercury doesnt have a PS3

i wonder how many of 360s sales were people buying new ones because theirs broke. i personally own 3 360s


Well you are pretty out of the loop seeing as how Microsoft fixed all 5 of mine for free, you really didn't have to buy more.

I guess when PS3 finally takes over in sales you will be part of the lowest common denominator then.
