Is this from guys that made that crap song "How to kill a brand" last year ? One dedicated to PS3? They are clown and should shut up. Sony is not dead, bit..es!

i am not flaming here ok

I think blueray is one reason for the PS3 selling so well. I also think a bigger part of the reason MS has fallen off is from RROD and lack of HDD on all systems...

RROD is no longer a myth like it was in its 1st 18 months on market! HDD is becoming a very important part of this gen of gaming. Sure you can look at the Wii and say "why does it sell so much better" but the Wii doesnt play the best games this gen is going to bring. The Wii is a toy! The PS3 and the 360 a true gaming machines

what the hell happened?

simple, people realised they want REAL next-gen features, a free and competent online service and great released and upcoming games (of which there is a lot)

not to mention great reliability

@Below

exactly, the PS3 provides me with much more important and interesting features like Sixaxis, standard and upgradeable HDD, Linux, free online etc etc

once Sony implements those two features (in-gane music and ingame-XMB) there will be no question as to which console provides the best next-gen experience

@lawman

hmmmmm... why do you have 2 bubbles, your posts are so rational and well thought-out

anyway 7 to 1?? are you retarded?, you know thats not true

Like i said...Next-Gen only starts when we say so!!! ;-D
It started on the 1st of 2008!!!;)
(But PS3;) is the only Next-gen Console i can see!!!) ;-P
That thing called a xbox Washing Machine 360 is SOOOOOOO Last-gen!!!
;-D

I really love my 360(my ps3 to) but there is no getting away from it that the rrod has played its part in slowing ms sales down. I mean even now if every single 360 made would never get the rrod I think it may be a little to late in some peoples minds. In no way does any of what I write spell doom for the 360 we are just pointing out what ms has done or lack of doing that could increase sales.

all biased opinions aside...no matter which console you prefer...I only find it surprising that there truely are supposed 'neutral' sites didn't anticipate this...EVERYTHING pointed to it eventually happening...The media jumped on the PS3 initially, with almost nothing good to say about it...But MS has continuously dropped the ball...RRoD problems, still suffer in terms of software variety (image wise, people still don't associate MS with having the most diverse gaming library)...They hailed 2007 as the best lineup in history...yet still were outsold by the PS3 in every territory but the US for the last months of the year...the PS3 overall sold more consoles last year than the 360...the 360 sold approximately 3 million less in 2007 than it did in 2006...these were all obvious signs of what was going to happen...

while ignorance in this regard is entirely expected by the fanatical armies of each respective console...its just surprising that websites everywhere are all of a sudden 'wow, the PS3 just might be starting a comeback'...its a Sony console...name a generation Sony was involved in that this didn't happen...

I would think simply that no system sellers have been released lately. When GTA4 comes out then we shall see.

Blind fanboys may think that GTA is a PS series but working family's going to the store seeing a gta 360 bundle $150 cheaper than the ps3 bundle will throw the cat among the pigeons methinks.

As for nintendo : its 1 2 punch of brawl and mario kart and an uppercut of wii fit will keep it firmly in #1 sales figures for at least another year.

Im also tempted to buy a slim psp with the silver GOW bundle and the psp wipeout. handhelds are consoles too right!

Where is Kaz to give epic comment on this one lol

Everytime I hear the Wii classed as I toy I wonder how Sony and Microsoft feel about this little stupid toying out-selling them 3-1 almost every month. Since they're both trying to develop Wii like gameplay it must not just be a silly toy after all.

i think the PS3 will outsell the 360 by a large margin when 08 ends. If 07 is anything to go buy then yea. BIG DIFFENCE

in 07 the perception was PS3 had no games and cost to much

in 08 both perceptions of 07 would be wrong

when you add in the PS3 didnt outsell the 360 on a weekly basis like it has so far this year you can see why it will blow the doors off of the 07 numbers

just my opinion

Imagine when Wii drops to $150 and gets both Wii Fit and Wii music, and when PS3 is $299 with all the games coming during the holiday season? Does Microsoft even have a place to hide?

i dont!!!!! i dont care who sells more, gaming is about playing games and enjoying the console u chooes to by, if it is the wii/360/ps3 its all ur choice, this console war is not needed.......lets all just enjoy gaming like before,..since when did console sales become important to game fans, its not like u are going to make money from the consoles that are sold, ms/sony/wii are all making money and laughing all the way to the bank, ms got their computers while sony has there other devices from phones to t.v, so either way their getting paid, i dont know what nintendo has apart from wii and ds but still they are still making money,..i think this gen of gaming era is stupid because of the fanbois all over the place trash talking..i got a ps3 but i am still getting a 360 when gears of war 2 comes out but i am not sure if i am getting the wii because i am more of a hardcore gamer, .....anyway thats what i think , i dont care who wins the so called console war or who sells more consoles!!! and all u fan boi need ur lips cut of =D

Reports about Microsoft's reliability have been more frequent over the last 6 months to a year, I'm sure that has something to do with it. If a consumer does their research they are going to see all the 360 horror stories and that will be a deterrent for casual gamers.

Keep in mind, the Ps3 hasn't hit the "sweet spot" of $299 ($300). Since demand is strong, Sony doesn't need to reduce the price, but if it does the system well see a considerable rise in sales. And the big titles are hitting soon, too.

As for the Xbox 360, now priced at $199 / $249 etc.. still isn't able to compete with the Wii (mostly do to the game library). Microsoft desperately needs to release some BIG NAME games on the system, and soon. Remember just a few days ago, people were getting excited about Golden Eye for XBL.. so you can understand the current situation with the system.

MS has dropped the ball to often. They need to do some changes if they want to stay in the game.

But MSs silence is curious, they have gotten very quiet lately...

when you consider it takes 2 Wii sales to match 1 PS3 sale then you can see why sales numbers on the Wii are just fluff. The numbers look good but when you add in software sales and user base the Wii is a toy

Even if Sony and MS have seen the light of casual games because of the Wii you cant say they are making Wii type games just because of it. I cant think of one PS3 game that is Wii like? The 360 doesnt have the hardware yet to make Wii type games.

im not saying the Wii has no impact but when ppl are looking for true next-gen gaming they wont find that in the Wii

Unless they like mono sound and Mario18

What moron actually expects Microsoft to officially acknowledge they're lagging behind in hardware sales all of a sudden? When the Playstation 3 came out and was slow to the race, we barely heard Sony actually commenting on this issue so what are the chances that Microsoft would publicly come out and panic with the situation? Instead they were sticking to their guns in how they wanted to "educate the consumer" on the value, only having then dropping the price by $200 because the consumers don't listen to companies, companies have to listen to them. And sticking to their guns is what Microsoft will do because they don't have much avenue in terms of price cutting if they want to maintain profit for their Gaming division.

Having said that, no one is calling this a comeback on Sony's part for one main reason. Although it has been outselling the Xbox 360 in the US, the difference between the figures does not justify any attempts of preparing the victory .GIF's and the 'OWN3D' images because the install base is three times the lesser of Microsoft's console. Sony needs to start doubling and more those 360 sales each month then it would be a certain comeback on Sony's part, and impending doom on the 360's side.

This entire issue is more of a negative for Microsoft than it is a positive on Sony's part. We had hints during the holiday period where Microsoft sold less than people expected and Sony sold more than expected. The tide is slowly turning but this tide is just too small to be considered a changing of the winds in the console wars.

Nice read. Its just that we are witnessing Sony's biggest and most aggressive comeback. Problem is Microsoft doesn't have the big games to counter Sony this year.BioShock2 and MassEffect2 are still an year and a half off. So we can assume the only two biggest titles are going to be Gears 2 and Fable 2 and if Alan Awake makes it in time. Now on the other hand Sony is raging like a mad bull. The point was very legit, do you to want XBOX360 + GTAVI + DLC or do you want PS3+GT5P+GTA4. Plus in May Sony has another exclusive called Haze coming and in June they have MGS4. Microsoft has Ninja Gaiden 2 in june but come on, its a good game but it can't match the ruthlessness of MGS4. Then in July Sony is gonna drop the price & gonna unveil some new games + hopefully they will announce God of War 3 and everyone's jaws will drop:P Plus may be we see Agency release in July.
Come Sept./Oct. they have LBP + Socom + Killzone 2 and Microsoft only has Fable2. Then Nov. its the match of the titans R2 vs. Gears2. We can assume that both will be great and we will see a tie among them but the lineup above and below those titles are huge amount of exclusives. I mean we still haven't heard from Getaway, White Knight Chronicles, FXIII, versusXIII, Eight Days, Infamous etc. Microsoft just isn't bring enough exclusives on the table. I guess it will all be clearer at E3. Everyone screamed at E3 2007 that Microsoft showed nothing for 2008, part of the reason was that they didn't had much. We still need to hear about SC Conviction, Alan awake, Banjoo Kazuee, and see what happens to the infamous Too Human.

They usually start out a little lackluster, but after the first oh, year and a half or so, pick up steam and become basically unstoppable.

I think people just like to forget the past in hopes that their fanboyish opinions will see the light of day as truth.

Your wrong. How could that be possible if the Wii doesn't sell at a lost like the 360 and especially the ps3 does. That logic doesn't make sense. Nintendo is the only counsole that makes an instant profit from moving units.
..also they're not making Wii type games. They're trying to match the gameplay of the Wii. Nothing is wrong with that, all that does is better the industry for every one. The problem is as you say, they first considered the wii as just some silly toy.

PlayStation 3 this fall. We all know it's coming. Imagine the impact that'll have on sales considerng the franchises already on the platform by then.

thats the sound i make everytime i hear someone had a RROD

you know why

because thats the main reason the 360 has fallen off everywhere but America

and btw

we Americans voted in Bush #43

TWICE

yes im saying it

Americans will buy anything made in America and not care if its junk!

Not this American thou

im not buying a 360 till i can get a Pro for 200 bucks. Thats what a system made by idiots is worth. Then add in the limited aspect of all there games anything more then 300bucks is a rip off

plus XBL needs to be free

No doubt the PS3 will increase that lead in the April sales thanks to GTA IV. In fact, i cant really see the 360 ever coming back. The next big game after GTA IV for the 360 is Gears of War 2, while the PS3 will have all this years games plus Resistance and Motorstorm 2.

you wont see that 300 price tag till maybe Nov 09

IMO

That would be the last part of the domination puzzle. Sony would have the best game lineup of the year, DS3, Home, and the sweet affordable price for a great advanced piece of hardware and people will have a hard time finding a reason not to own a PS3 this holiday season. I dont hate on other consoles but I have always seen the value in Sony hardware, specialy the Playstation. The PS3 would have all the edges to win this holiday season.

PS if you disagree please reply with a reason to make this discussion interesting and not just cause. Thanks

i dont think we are stupid but i know for a fact we dont care enough to make ppl answer for the lies we get feed....

so yea

maybe a bit stupid

we still carry a big stick so you better watch out!!!

hahahaha

....when the article talked about the first time the PS3 outsold the 360 and actued like it was a surprise or something.

To anyone who's owned a PlayStation console over the last decade and seen the PSone and PS2 abosolutely destroy its respective competition, it comes as no surprise that the PS3 is selling.

A few things people forget:

1. Unlike Nintendo and Microsoft, Sony doesn't just abandon its previous consoles all of the sudden, they have a slower turn-around, which hurts them in initial sales, but is certainly appreciated by Sony owners.

2. Because there was a slower transition from PS2-PS3, the games will follow the same trend. So maybe the PS3 didn't have the biggest library to start off with, but that doesn't mean that the best selling exclusive series (final fantasy, metal gear, gran turismo, god of war etc) won't sell lots of systems when they arrive.

3. The PS2 outsold the Xbox and NGC by approximately 5-1, and still counting. Those people who bought Playstions the last 2 gens haven't just vanished and it shouldn't come as a shock if they start purchasing PS3s.

MS has had every chance to offer a more competitive package in '07 to anticipate the Sony comeback in '08.

If they had nipped the RROD issue in the bud early on, it would just be a footnote now to the console instead of what everyone associates the 360 with. Sure a 3 year warranty is nice, but come on, fix the problem and put it behind you. You can't buy your way out of it with a billion dollar warranty fix.

Enough with the we give consumers choices by selling all these over priced addons. I buy a Wii or a PS3, I'm set to play games from the get go. I don't need to pay to add wifi, an online service an overpriced HDD (although only necessary if you bought the Arcade version and later realized you wanted more space). The 360 wifi add on is nearly half the price of the wii itself that has built in wifi.

Give the US a price drop to reenergize sales.

It seems '07 was their "all eggs in one basket" software wise. Why didn't they have more top notch titles in '08 knowing full well Sony would be bringing out the big guns then?

Why doesn't MS have its own internal game studio of 10-15 MS teams pumping out top notch games? Without Nintendo's internal game development teams, the Wii would have flopped. Sony puts out some of the best games from internal teams... why is MS which is a software company from the 80's not creating their own content, but satisifed to just buy out developers?

In the end, MS really has themselves to blame if they slip into 3rd long term.

I have all three systems at my house, Wii, 360, and PS3. I love all three. But honestly, which system plainly has the most potential? PS3 hands down. I play Call of Duty 4, Motorstorm, Warhawk, Resistance, Condemned 2, and Burnout Paradise online for FREE. I have a growing collection of Blu-ray movies that I cannot watch on my 360 or Wii.

My 60 gig PS3 has 3 times the HDD space of the 360, and is upgradeable. In fact, I can get a 300+ gig HDD for the PS3 for under $100 bucks, and it can be made by almost any company.

The PS3 has built in wireless internet and blu-tooth.

I LOVE the 360, but in the long run, it just cannot offer what the PS3 can. Don't even get me started about the Wii.

Plus, honestly, ever time I turn my 360 on I genuinely wonder if this is the time I am going to get the RROD.

Considering everything written above, as consumers become more aware, people will inevitably purchase the system with the most potential and staying power.

Way to go PS3! You've outsold the Xbox 360 by about 20,000 consoles in total fro 3 months -- only about 9 Million more consoles to go!

All the Pro-PS3 comments bring a tear to my eye. Just this time last year it was all "PS3 Sux", "No good games", "Sony eats little children", etc... Seems like everyone is realizing what a great machine the PS3 is and what a great future it has, way to go people. I salute you.

doo doo? wtf

Advantage: Sony.

You have to consider that most hardcore gamers will own both consoles anyways. A lot of ppl who own 360's are gonna get a PS3. The gamers that stick w/ one console are the one's that really count. PS has a much larger core fanbase therefore they will reap the rewards. Plus Xbox owners will want something to play while they send their console in for repairs - the PS3 fills that void quite nicely.

Not to mention that the blu ray player is a driving force behind PS3 purchases and at a time when there aren't many games coming out the XBOX is a lot less enticing.

Another important reason is that while PS3 might be lagging Xbox sales in America, Xbox is lagging just a badly in Europe and Japan. There has even been talk among Australian retailers of pulling the consoles from their shelves entirely!!!

Aside from GeOW2 and Fable2 Xbox really doesn't have many killer apps coming out this season. PS3 on the other hand has plenty(LBP, KZ2,RES2,GT5,MGS5,SOCOM). Not to mention PS3 has more exclusives releasing this year (HAZE,INFAMOUS,TEKKEN6,WHITEKN IGHTSTORY,
MOTORSTORM2).

What's XBOX got? TOOHUMAN, ALAN WAKE, LEFT4DEAD, HALOWARS, NINJAGAIDEN2, BANJO KAZOOIE. 1/2 of XBOX360's exclusives will be ported to PC later. Most ppl would be better off just upgrading their pc than investing in a 360 - they could still play Mass Effect, Halo, Bioshock, Gears, Etc.

And do you really think that XBOX is gonna have a price drop b4 people are done spending their stimulus checks? The soonest they will have a price drop will be mid-late summer, not long b4 the PS3 has another price drop as well.

Xbox360 is projected to sell the fewest consoles this year than ever. Wii and PS3 will have record years, and they will still experience strong sales in the years to come. Now that Xbox blew it's wad in '07 the future looks grim.

PPl keep speculating that XBOX will have a bunch of big game announcements at E3, but I don't buy that. There is no reason for them to be holding their cards close to their chest at a time like this. From this point on Xbox will be struggling to survive and I dont think a successor to the 360 is likely.

...but MS is not by any means dead yet. Will have to see the GTAIV numbers first. As an owner of both 360 & PS3, I have so many things to be excited about! Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, GTAIV (on 360, sorry, but I am hyped about that DLC), MGS4, Ninja Gaiden, SOCOM Confrontation--- and that's just summer!

I think MS is (1) hoping GTAIV sparks sales of consoles in May, (2) is clearing stock of older Zephyr models to replace with Falcons (and Jaspers?) to significantly reduce the RROD factor, and (3) preparing for a major price cut in the US. I think they have decided to let the last three months go in order to rally big this Spring and again in the fall/Holiday season. I agree wholeheartedly with the point made by "Celticlonewolf" (bubble for you) that the stagnation of 360 sales is a result of its stagnating price point. It just doesn't appear to be the great deal it was before the 40GB PS3 was released. Factor in the Blu-ray victory and the lack of standardized HDD and voila! three months losses in a row in its OWN BACKYARD... ouch.

"Meus Renaissance" is right that Sony still has work to do catch MS in sales, but MS can't rely on that for much longer. It's time for MS to make their move, whatever it is. Sony is not only beating MS in sales worldwide, but is also beating MS in the buzz/media factor. When you think Sony PS3 now, you think of all the great exclusive releases upcoming, Blu-ray, HOME, etc., as opposed to all the negative buzz/media PS3 received upon its initial release. PS3 took a beating, but has rebounded big time and now the 360 is getting the negative buzz/media, with RROD, the failure of HD DVD, loss of price value vs. PS3, and supposed lack of games for 2008. Not sure MS can overcome these factors, but I wouldn't call them dead just yet....

hold on there!

am i on the right site? people having a civil debate and conversation on N4G?

King Kaz will tell these fine folks at Sarcastic Gamer what the hell is going on!!!
As Judgment Day (June 12th) draws closer and closer, Nazisoft are in PANIC! They have lost their last remaining stronghold! They FEAR the Blu-Ray of Death! They FEAR Krazy King Kaz! They FEAR Emperor Kutaragi! They FEAR Lord Stringer! They FEAR the unstoppable PerfectionStation brand!
PIGS- last year, we HUMILIATED your "console" when everyone thought we were the ones losing! But this year, you are in for an ABSOLUTE MASSACRE!
Sony Soldiers- your King truly enjoyed destroying Sega and Nintendouche!
But DESTROYING Nazisoft- it is my destiny! And the beginning of the end for them is.........June 12th!!!!

58 days until Judgment Day, Nazisoft!

MWAH-HA-HA-HA!!!

Microsoft knows the battle is lost, their year head start doesn't mean squawt anymore. Seems like the only people who don't want to accept it are the PUTO X-Bots, blinded by stupidity and envy for Sony's line up. You bots know who you are. And so do we.

can i just add some spice to this civil debate

you notice the 360 crowd has been very quite over the last couple weeks. When they do talk its not often meant for Gamer zone. These two facts alone mean more PS3 owners are now talking and showing the true class all PS3 owners have

ok not all

lol

yea i said it

read between the lines

lol

thats funny dude

but you want to know whats even more funny

some of those ppl we all know are bots are sometimes one person! When you call out POG you better watch your bubbles! He can take one whenever he feels like it.

now thats funny

More PS3 hardware being sold than 360 hardware is the fact that PS3 is actually selling more software. With the still notable difference in installed bases (5 million) that is Really wierd. Great news and whatever, but that's Gotta be worrying Microsoft.

My big question is "Where's the 360 advertising?" The PS3 Universe commercials were really cool, and I'm surprised that Microsoft hasn't created a similar marketing campaign. For example, Sony was advertising Metal Gear Solid a good 8 months before release. Where are the ads for Too Human, Banjo Kazooie, or Ninja Gaiden 2 (one of their biggest releases)?

as much as i love my 360 there is no way in hell im going to buy a brand new one for 350 or 450 for an elite its not worth that much anymore and until microsoft realizes that sony will catch up siht they deserve it with all theyve been doin, ms is being extremely stale so i hope sony catches up rather quickly to fing wake microsoft up and show them u must always be proactivee in this business.

yeah its becuse of the blu-ray, but for now, i think this isnt the only factor which counts, if we talk about casual gamers, then for now they already know that GTA 4 is coming out this month, and they also know that MGS4 and GT5 prologue are coming, which are huge, huge factor, advantage for sony, and i mean sony already owns the summer, want you that or not. Sometime after MGS4, problably in mid july, sony are going to advertisise more and more LitleBigPlanet, and ofcourse Killzone 2. I wouldnt go brave to predict whats going to happen with console sales after September, because you know maybe microsoft by that time will bring out something like Gears of war 2, but definately sony has safe land to September and maybe little more. Im very confident that sonys playstation 3 numbers will grow to equal level with xbox360s by the end of this year.

They're like that person who always insults you and says "Just kidding" like that makes a difference.

N4G is a site where the fanboyism is real.

You can't get away spouting flamebait and not having to be accountable just because your called Sarcastic gamer.

There's no place for Sarcastic gamer on N4G.

the difference is.
1. The PS2 problems werent extensive.
2. The PS2 hardware problem was resolved much faster than the x360 problems..

Destiny.

Didn't everyone else see this coming since MS only sold 24 Million XBOX consoles last gen compared to the ps2 still selling well after already selling over 120 million units. The year head start really should have put the 360 far ahead of where it is now considering it had no competition but itself for the first year and a half.

Microsoft is just getting lazy and hoping two games is going to save them.
ex.) Gears of War 2 and supposedly the DLC for GTA IV.
Also to make things worse for MS they are discontinuing Windows XP and to PC Gamers like myself that's a total slap in the face.
Nintendo isn't any better.
ex.) Wii Fit, Mario Kart Wii, No More Heroes, etc.
Nintendo hasn't been giving any release dates we don't hear very much from them lately only two games mentioned.
Sony has it down with the games and I don't think they can be stopped but Sony isn't delivering yet on some programs.
ex.) Home, XMB, Play TV, etc.
If you ask me I think we are all suffering as gamers.
I'll just say this Sony has the biggest chance to take some major leverage on the competition.

http://www.eetimes.com/news...

That always made me giggle.

They didn't carry that partnership on did they:0

In all fairness the xbox was a better console graphically.

This time around its close, but ps3 edges it with cell and rsx has a few things ppl don't really know:)

But in time you'll see.

i don't understand why so many people hate on the U.S... If it werent for the Americans SOOOOOOO many countries wouldn't be what they are today.. example: Japan. Got in a war with Russia, Japan went bankrupt, the Japanese ran to the AMERICANS for help.. The AMERICANS helped make a deal between Russia and Japan. No more war.. thanks to Teddy Roosevelt!

M$ really did try hard, you have to give them that. I was impressed with their library and especially XBox Live but in the end, that didn't matter, especially with their constant hardware issues. It was inevitable that Sony was going to make a huge comeback and right now I am proud of this company. All they need to do now is release Home and in-game XMB. As long as those two work well and it works for the system, I am fine with that. Even better, they're getting some huge games this year. I can see MGS4 selling a lot of PS3's because I know a few people who are waiting for that game to get a PS3 finally.

M$ needs to start listening to their consumer often. They're only providing shooter after shooter and not enough variety. They depend on third parties rather than first parties. They try to make their games exclusive, thinking that will save them but it didn't.

The RROD hurt them very badly as well and it's a shame. Next time they come up with a new system, they better learn to plan ahead, otherwise Sony is going to kick their asses again.

I have to give it to Microsoft, for them to even be selling xbox's is amazing to me. With the failure rate which who knows really how big it is, but with the internet and everyone talking about red rings, I figured Xbox sales would plummet. I just bought a PS3 and let me tell you my reasons. First red ring scares me and I didn't want a system I couldn't trust. Second the PS3 just plain has more features (blu ray, Wi-fi, wireless remote that don't need batteries, MS gouges people on all this crap and being able to put in any SATA harddrive) and third and I think which is why people are not buying the ps3..I tried to think what system would really be best in 2-3 years time and if your honest with yourself the PS3 wins hands down. Microsoft has blown thier load. Them making a system available with no hard drive has really hampered them. Everything they do has to be able to work on those systems and in the end that will kill it.

im a huge 360 supporter but like many have said, ever since peter left there has been so little pr or anything that shows confidense from MS.

the demo section has had no games for a while, arcade has been limp with lackluster titles and we are in deep in the third year. The prices are to high for a 3 year old console and yet ms still odes nothing. Sony went crazy with ads showing games and a cheaper price and ms let it happen, so now sony is winning for 3 months and yet ms still does nothing.

Hd and accesorie prices are still at original prices and ms is to blame. I in a way understand by keeping the system prices the same it shows strentgh but now its getting out of hand, the console is 3 years old and will be getting tramples on by sony if this continues.

Now we have gta4 coming and not one tv ad yet but it arrives in 2 weeks, ms was betting on gta4 yet they have done nothing to take advantage of it, no special pricing, no cheaper console prices and basicaly will hand this one to sony as well.

But its not all bad, ms has hit after hit every month at least one hit till xmas.

On the other hand, sony has done nothing but tv ads, where are the games, there are none. so while sony is selling more consoles its not like theres been any good games either. since xmas what has come out that has been a hit for the ps3, nothing. other then a demo in gt prologue.

and when sony does start bringing games so will ms, besides gta4 neither have hits until june. and they will both sell games on each system, ng2 will sell for ms, mgs will sell for sony and so on.

Where the hell is HOME for ps3, where is in game xmb, so its not like sony is doing much either, its not just ms but ms better wake up.

they will both save it all for august till december just like every other year.

Remember when everyone was saying "What the hell is Sony thinking? What are they DOING?" Well, I figured it out. Sony has a crystal ball. It's the only logical conclusion to explain how they've out-maneuvered M$ at every turn. They are constantly peering into the future with their exclusive future-viewing technologies.

I think MS will drop the price even further soon on the 360 all models and in all countries. Millions and Millions of people never come here, or even get online, they are ignorant sheep show look first and foremost at the price tag. I think this is the overwhelming reason the Wii has done so well.

so the fact that the 360 launched way before the other two consoles and pretty much those who want a 360 already have one means what? sony wins? wii wins? im not sure i get it? i kinda feel like tom hanks' character in Big. there it is, staring me in the face, yet no one else seems to see it. big comeback? more like big catch up. im not sure of the numbers, and in all honesty i dont care. but gamers will buy what they want to play, so it is them who wins. as long as good games keep coming out i dont care who the 'winner' is because honestly, i won.

IT'S SO TRUE.

But who cares. 360 is at the top of the software charts every week. PS3? Dead last. No one buys games for PS3. Most are selling to play movies. A simple fact.

the ps3 is getting games and those are real next generation games which people have no choice to accept that those real games they will never see on 360.

for example gran turismo 5 come on now the damn game looks like real life this is the power of a true next generation machine.

the fact is 360 is xbox 1.5 people are accepting the truth for 2008 and will remain accepting the truth.

almost 6 million cod4 sold for 360, 2.5 mill for ps3, what attach rate are you talking about.

Have you even looked at the sales numbers for the multi plat games at all before you spoke.

yeah sorry i overspoke in a way, but still have that kid go look at the numbers and the 360 has a better attach rate then the ps3, either way i was correct.

there are more games bought with every 360 then there is games bought with every ps3, thats a fact

you know what i was going to chime in. but i can't say to much more than all of that. good job boys.

MGS4=game of the year
socom = online shooter of the year
LBP = original ip of the year
resistance 2 = one bad azz mutha

long live solid snake.

It's a Frida- Oh wait ._.

without the extra year, going head tyo head with sony...

M$ would have sold less than half of what they have now...

HA HA HA HA!

I fail to see how microsoft having more consoles out there means that its unfair to compare game sales.....its like saying xbox one had a similar attach rate to the ps2 as it sold far less games but then there were fewer xbox originals out there compaired to ps2. would you rather sell ten games to one console owner or sell one game to twenty console owners..i dont see the logic in some if these posts when people say the ps3 sells as much when you factor the lower number of consoles...someone able to explain it to me please..... its like saying a recent survey found that 1 in 4 people make up a 1/4 of the worlds population....

Let's say PS3 outsells Xbox 360 by 300,000 a month for the year of 2008. Let's also say that the 360 is selling at least 250k per month. That would put PS3 at 550k per month. Yeah it's far fetched but just for the sake of argument. 360 is at 18mil and PS3 at 10mil.

12 x 550,000 = 6.6million PS3's sold for 2008 with a total installed base of 16.6 million by the end of 2008.

12 x 250,000 = 3 million 360's sold for 2008 with a total installed base of 21 million by the end of 2008.

So even after a whole year with over a half million in sales a month, the PS3 still wouldn't catch up. Now let's say people rebel against MS because they are tired of RROD and there are no sales at all for the 360 for the rest of the year. PS3 would still be in 3rd place worldwide.

Get my point? It's a 3 console market. Get over it, start playing!

Does it really surprise anyone that this is happening? Look at what MS is doing... they are turning the game industry into a retards only club where you pay for everything even if it's already yours!

The vast majority of themes and gamer pics are just resized and cropped concept art and crap created to promote the game. So you now have a bunch of drooling morons that pay to be advertised to.

For years devs created map packs for free for us far superior PC gamers. This kept us playing their games and kept new customers coming. Now the console tards pay out the ass for those too.

Oh, and let us not forget the greatest scam of them all.... Paying for Peer to Peer gaming. How faking stupid do you have to be to provide a service for a company and pay for it to? And to try and mask this scam they added match making which only serves those too stupid to get into a game unless it's by pushing 1 button.

All that and the ps3 being damn near the same price as the 360 without the $59 per year bullshit and it's only going to be a matter of time before the ps3 catches up.

Be sure to help the process along by spreading as much bad word of mouth about the 360 as possible.
