That's the nail in the coffin. 360 is god in America. Sony has to be a little weary of next gen where they both start out at the sane time. I think we're going to see a company, either Sony (possible) or Nintendo (possible) not make it out of next alive. MS got that monopoly pockets that they're using to promote the 360 as a Fuck The Competition, buy us device.

You do realize this is the charts for one week, right? VGchartz on top of that so these are just estimations. In addition, these numbers are poor for every single system even microsoft's.

Clarence5103d ago (Edited 5103d ago )

You must be crazy. The year headstart, and RROD had alot to do with the 360's lead in NA. Other countries refused to buy another 360 to replace the defected 360. I believe they waited for M$ to replace it.

Nice try next gen will not be the same as this gen. The PS4 won't be as expensive as the PS3.

Also vgchartz is bull$h!t. Every week the PS3 sells a over a 100k. Last week it sold a 100k it was a 65.1m. This week it sells a 100k and it's still at 65.1m. Meanwhile the 360 is under a 100k every week but it the numbers still move 67.1m to 67.2m.

JBSleek5103d ago

1. Is it that serious to you if the PS3 doesn't sell as much as Microsoft. Does it really hurt that bad.

2. People still use M$? That was okay in the 90's I thought. It's 2012.

Siren305103d ago (Edited 5103d ago )

If most of the 360 sales are from the same people replacing their rrod 360 than why do games still sell better on the 360? Also, not really sure where your getting ps3 outselling 360 by 100k, must be from your ass. Worldwide charts only show the ps3 selling more than the 360 by about 30,000 units, mostly due to japan only buying ps3 and 3ds.

Don't pay any attention to clarence, he is in every sales article always defending sony

MasterCornholio5103d ago

The PS3 according to VG charts sold 21,493,354 units. So that makes it a failure in the US?

Sanquine905103d ago

Dude, you do realise the ps3 is outselling the 360 in europe and Japan. In japan the 360 do not have any sales.. In europe people know better than buy a 360 with only halo 4 coming ( and a another gears..)

360 a bad 3rd WW again,...fuck me MS pull your fingers out and give us some fkin games already. A years head start, cheaper and better integrated online and the 360 is still getting stuffed weekly across the world. Useless mugs.

TheGamingArt5103d ago

Stop buying their stuff. If you buy they're crap they won't care. Hence why America is funny.

Hicken5103d ago

Too many people too caught up in the social aspect. People that wanna play online with their friends, or don't wanna stop playing online with their friends. They make their purchasing decision based on remaining socially relevant, NOT on what the best value is.

If you tell someone that they can buy a 160GB PS3, go home right now and- thanks to a free PS+ trial- have an easy dozen games to play that you don't even have to pay for, "Yeah, but I still won't have anybody to play with," would be their response.

TheGamingArt5102d ago

@Hicken.. I always have someone to play with. As a matter of fact... the only mind set that you're dubbing are COD, Halo, and Gears fanatics. That's a piss poor way to make a bad decision btw.

josephayal5103d ago

ANOTHER VICTORY FOR MICROSOFT IN THE USA, Microsoft needs to work with developers to create some new exclusives and free online, OMG This thing (XBOX360) will sell like hot cakes JUST LIKE the NINTENDO 3DS and WII COMBINE...........WE HAVE A HOPE, XBOX 720,

chand175103d ago

Why on earth would they make xbox live free? They already have millions of people paying them.

JBSleek5103d ago

People get this serious over sale numbers? Wow.

cstyle5103d ago

yep, especially when their preferred console isn't on top.

Outside_ofthe_Box5103d ago (Edited 5103d ago )

Like you do in the Global Charts.

Sanquine905103d ago

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle58d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7758d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg64d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree63d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai63d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
