Yeah that was a big Month for Xbox. I expect September to December to be The same with Halo Reach coming out soon with Fable 3.

Now if only They could bring something HOT to the table next week @ TGS after a Cold E3.

Cross fingers for Lost odyssey 2.

edit @ disagrees. Im sorry but it is the truth. I could've said otherwise if Halo Reach and Fable 3 wasnt coming out in a few weeks. I mean Even you guys know those 2 games are Great System sellers. I'm just keeping it real with you guys. Im not even trolling. I'm not even calling you guys lames.

Unicron5724d ago (Edited 5724d ago )

I don't see why you're getting disagrees, your post wasn't even slightly fanboyish.

Reach will be big.
MS's E3 blew chunks and they need to step their game up and stop relying on Halo.

And the holidays will be great for everyone (GT5, Halo, Vanquish!! Woo!) But I forgot, love of games is TEH DEBIL on this site.

M$ has locked down America just the way Sony has locked down Japan/EU territory this gen.

These are impressive numbers for the 360 with Halo Reach right around the corner? Seems to me like the Halo numbers are starting to go down. But whatever, fanboys are pathetic and will exaggerate anything. And i agree, Fable a system seller, really?

aviator1895724d ago

Any sensible person would say that neither the ps3 nor the 360 has locked down the EU territory. The ps3 in that region is a mere 100k ahead of the 360. I wouldn't give the eu region to the ps3 due to that difference.

Agree 15 Disagree 2

Genesis55724d ago

The only thing I don't understand is the 360 has a massive hardware sales advantage. Yet barely outsells the competition which has half the install base in total software sales.

Are people buying 360's and putting them in their closets?

Agree 7 Disagree 18

commodore645724d ago (Edited 5724d ago )

Not only is it doing extremely well in NA, but also in Europe.

According to VGchartz, which estimates sales reasonably well, the 360 has also been leading the ps3 in Europe since the release of the 360slim.

Since the release of the 360s, all available evidence points to the 360 widening the worldwide sales gap again.
That's a no brainer.
Does it matter?
Well it shouldn't, but we all know it does, on n4g.

I would say that with Halo reach around the corner, MS looks set to have a record year, both in console sales and also in overall revenue. Last financial year, MS posted a 600% increase in profitability in its gaming division, the EADD. Will they match or improve it this FY?
And then there's also Kinect to consider, but I'll reserve judgement until it releases and starts posting sales numbers.

So yeah, overall very impressive.
Good one, MS

as expected. x360 fans floods NDP sales and when PS3 wins again they are nowhere to be seen. Heck Media creates or GFK is a ghost town for them.

We should have more NPD sales articles on N4G to attract more x360 fans back to N4G. It was getting boring not having anyone to argue with.

Anon19745723d ago

It'll be interesting to see 360 numbers on the 360s when it's back to the normal price. Currently there is still plenty of stock out there on the old 360 consoles which are being blown out at quite a hefty discount. It's a no-brainer that in the 360's US stronghold that the continued price cut would equal increased sales over last year. Last time the 360 cut it's price this much they had increased sales for almost six months before sales slumped again.

You have to think that's a concern for Microsoft. The 360 has always had spotty growth like the last time they cut the price of the 360, had 6 months of year over year growth and then slumped into a full 4 quarters of year over year declines while their competition didn't.

Once the old 360's are gone and the 360 is the same price as the PS3 will the 360 continue this growth spurt or fizzle out again? And what's the situation worldwide? The 360 almost always rules the US charts but worldwide figures has had the 360 at third place head 2 head since it actually had competition. And even though faked VGchartz data seems to indicate a bit of a 360 surge in Europe - they've been so wrong in the past, over shooting 360 numbers by 30% in the first six months of this year alone, underestimating PS3 numbers by over 2 million.

It'll certainly be interesting to see what the true story is next month when each company released their official sales figures for the quarter ending Sept 30.

"Any idea what the next exclusive IP will be to garner these sorts of sales?"

Good question but I'm willing to bet Epic will go all out for the crown and take Reach head on.

OT: 360 is really getting the job done these past few months. It's going to be a huge holiday but my only wish is that MS answers the cry of there core audience and brings some games.

Myze5724d ago (Edited 5724d ago )

@Lifendz

For the 360 or in general?

In terms of software sales, Black Ops will probably sell a ton, even more than Reach over all systems, but the CoD games are not big system sellers, especially since they are multi-platform (I know the fact it's Activision and after MW2, I don't give a damn about it personally).

The only other game for any system coming out anytime soon that can compare to Halo in terms of hardware sales is GT5. It will improve the ps3 NPD numbers, but NPD is not where to look for a GT game (European sales for that one).

Anyway, who cares about sales? Great next few months (including this one) for all systems coming up (Halo Reach, Fable 3, LBP2, GT5, Castlevania, etc.).

1. Madden NFL 11 (360) - 920,800
2. Madden NFL 11 (PS3) – 893,600

I would say software sales prove that the lead the 360 had is pretty much finished. Even if the 360 is selling more systems it doesnt seem to be new buyers since software sales are stagnating.

OC_MurphysLaw5724d ago

Certainly the gap has narrowed on larger titles, but don't forget Sony was smart on Madden and made a pack in bundle deal with EA on Madden. I suspect a nice chunk (100k 'ish) was due to that Madden pack in on the PS3 system.

Death5724d ago

The only thing this means is the same amount of Xbox 360 and PS3 owners bought the game this month. The Xbox 360 has twice as many games on the top 10 chart then the PS3 has. Does this mean they sold twice the amount of units? Of course not. The data shows that 27,200 more people bought Madden for the Xbox 360. Nothing more, nothing less.

If it's any consolation, I own 2 Xbox 360's and didn't buy any copies of Madden. Neither did my brother and he usually pre-orders every year. I also didn't buy it for my PS3 or Wii. Maybe the sheep don't like paying $60 for yearly roster updates.

If you add all worldwide numbers together you can clearly see 360 is on top. NPD only offers a segment of overall worldwide sales penetration and your denial of it's significance just goes to show who the real troll is. Sometimes you are spot on and I even agree with you but to call people out that have been attacked from meaningless it's coming (exclusives years away)Sony propaganda makes me wonder how some of you are so easily deceived. MS needs to be applauded and use this momentum to it's advantage. This may be 360's biggest holiday season ever and the one to convince MS to go ahead and start picking up 1st party support.

HOWEVER, NORTH AMERICA IS THE LARGEST VIDEO GAME MARKET.

But, if it helps you sleep at night, keep commenting in every NPD article reminding yourself that NPD only reports numbers for the largest videogame market in the world.

Agree 7 Disagree 5

BISHOP-BRASIL5723d ago

The largest game market, I'm pretty sure, is Europe. The thing is, country to country alone, USA is bigger indeed.

That said, bigger or not, it isn't 50% kinda big. Not even close to that. So NPD alone proves nothing, if NPD go agains the tendency in most of the world, which it actually does, the top NPD seller can be in last place WW. That's the reason PS3 had beaten 360 in 2007 by official Sony and MS sales report and everyone was kinda WTF, PS3 was failing so hard on NPD... No one is tracking most of gaming market that closely... And truth is, there is no reason to. Companies need those numbers, we don't.

And don't matter if PS3 or 360 come on top... Yes, my console gets more support if it sells more, but unless some console make a last gen PS2 trick all of a sudden and dominate more than 75% of the market, I assume we're all safe in whichever console we choose, support shall be just as good, those publishers won't ignore anything over 50% of the market to attend to only one console installed base. At least multiplatform wise. That's the reason 3rd exclusives become so rare, not because consoles are close in power or anything like that.

I'm just happy Wii isn't printing money anymore. It had it's hole in the industry, they proved Motion Controls would enlarge the base and were a valid option for controller, but if they had keep the success it had earlier, next gen we all would get MC forced down our throats instead of an option, every game would be designed around it and visual quality (or any quility, judging by WiiFit and WiiSport sales) would be secondary aspect.

Since E3 Xbox sales have blown up. That's before any of the big games have even came out. This wave started w/ 360 slim now it's building steam w/ Reach 1 week away. After that you have Fable III and Kinect right in the middle of the holiday season. Xbox brand is really having a good year. Think w/ the system redesign RRoD is finally behind them. Live offers the best online experience and there's a solid line-up of exclusives and 360 is the must buy system for multi-plats.

moparful995723d ago

They havent "BLOWN UP" they are markedly better then they were but this is far from blown up.. You are making these numbers into a bigger deal then they are.. Wii is declining rapidly in sales and the ps3 has consistently performed all year.. Now suddenly the 360 is having some success because of a redesign that is all.. The rest of the crap you said is all subjective. Live is not the best experience, its whether you determine it is. I feel its a rip off hence why I dont buy it.. RROD still exists but less frequently. Solid line up of exclusives? You and I both know thats false. YOu have reach, fable and gears and thats it.. Kinect is taking priority at microsoft and its sad.. Just goes to show you that microsoft has it's fanbase eating out of the palm of their hand...

Great for MS but is it great for you. Funny how you don't see as much fervor over games as sales. I guess there are so many Halo articles one can take. If your an MS supporter it's nice they do so well in NA but when is MS going to give you more exclusives. There's Halo then Gears (may go to at least PC again like Fable) then....?

It's like your rooting for them for giving so little back.

Anyways, Worldwide they are all most likely doing close to each other. It is funny though how these numbers are taken as face value when not all sales from every retail outlet is counted.

+ It's clear that as long as MS has a Halo or Gears every year it will do well in NA. Sad but true.

Now that ps3 is getting all these great looking exclusives announced, unlike wii and the 360, you would think ps3 sales would be skyrocketing but I guess people are cheap. You get what you pay for people and who buy ps3's have way more exclusives to choose from. A wide variety of genre's and quality first party developers. Free blu-ray and online gaming. PS3 offers the best value of any console on the market. I feel bad for sony. They work the hardest to bring us gamers quality games and good features and they sell the least. What the fuck is wrong with people?

frostypants5723d ago (Edited 5723d ago )

Sales do not equate to # of owners.

How many of those 360 sales were upgrades by existing 360 owners? My guess is a mid-double digit percentage. Hell, I've considered getting rid of my jet-turbine fugly clod Sara-Lee cake of an old-version 360 for the badass shiny new one. But my purchase would not increase their market share at all.

It's really an indictment of how bad the old hardware was, and in fact it's rather sad that Microsoft's ineptitude with the old hardware is actually helping them make MORE money by selling quality hardware to the same people who bought the poorly-designed units in the first place. This shouldn't be celebrated.

The bottom line is knowing the failure rate of the "old" 360s, and knowing that replacement sales (even BEFORE the redesign) are incorporated into the overall numbers and not flagged in any way, it's fairly safe to say that 360's lead in the US isn't nearly what people think it is, at least in terms of installed base. Those Madden 2011 sales sure support my point pretty strongly, as does the declining number of MS-exclusive publishers (they see numbers the general public never gets access to...they obviously know something).

And at the end of the day, U.S.-only numbers don't mean anything, regardless. Only global numbers truly matter. And even then, only to the corporations. As gamers, none of this means d**k to us, other than to have these sorts of poo-flinging contests.

Its amazing what can happen in 15 years.

Playstation has gone from the most popular gaming brand to the least popular in just one generation. Nintendo and MS seriously upped their game.

With Reach next month 360 will be ontop again and we will see wether Move is a system seller or bombed.

Also seems that exclusive Madden bundled helped the PS3.

The PS3 only managed those numbers due to brand loyalty. Both Nintendo and MS are gaining new owners a lot of who were PS2 owners hence how the Playstation brand is less dominate/popular.

grow up and stop flamebaiting. It all depends on the Price, PS3 launch was disastrous. I cant believe they managed to sell 38 million now.

Sony sacrificed sales for pushing blu ray and they succeded. Every company has a different business model its not always a race to the top or we would never had seen a 600$ PS3.

And besides, the price was at hurt sony at first and prior to the new 360 model, which was expected, based on worldwide sales, PS3 was catching up to the 360.

DuneBuggy5724d ago (Edited 5724d ago )

IMO the PS2's abilty to play DVD's WAS a big draw to the system.It was only about $100 more than a DVD player then and played games too. DVD was such a leap over VHS its not even funny.Bluray? Yeah its certainly a evolutionary leap,but not a revolutionary one IMO.
I think Sony attempted the same business model with the PS3 but it didnt go over as well initially.
Most of my friends had PS2s for their first DVD player. It was my DVD player in the living room for quite a few years.Bought the remote and everything. My launch PS2 still works great BTW.

Only 3 million behind the 360 despite a year head start in the US and Japan and a year and a half head start in the EU and elsewhere? You don't understand ratios do you?

And you realize this is the last hurrah for quite a well? HALO 4 is a ways off. Fable doesn't move consoles. All I can say is enjoy it while it lasts because that 3 mil is disappearing. GT5 is coming...

badkolo5724d ago

ok but heres the thing. this year is going to the 360, 2011 might be a tie, so lets say sony picks up steam in the end of 2011 well then comes 2012 which most likely we will see the new consoles being introduced so then this gen is basicly over.

i mean ok sony might catch up in a year, thats being realistic, a year to a year and a half maybe taking the lead ina year and a half to 2 years but this gen will be ending then.

Agree 10 Disagree 14

TheBlackSmoke5724d ago

Its funny how everyone has been saying the 360 has been raping, when the PS3 has still outsold it so far this year. No doubt the 360 S had a big impact on sales this year, but in reality its not possible for the PS3 to be loosing if the gap is closing. Even with the impressive US numbers the world wide PS3 sales will even it out or even put the PS3 over the 360 yet again.

Lets remember this time last year when 360 fanboys were gloating about a 6-7 million lead and doing the best to show us mathematically how it would take sony till 2015 until it caught up.

Lol even if the PS3 always stayed 3 million behind forever, at least i would have games to look forward too.

MS fanatics supporting a company that gives you so little. It is unbelievable the fanaticism over a company that blatantly fleeces you yet you seem to adore them for it. It is sad that MS does so well in NA. All they do is release 2-3 high quality exclusives a year, they do not push online player counts for huge online matches, no mod and share titles all while charging a ridiculous fee and that is to be praised by giving them good sales.

Ms gamers need to wake up and realize that out of the thre consoles MS works by far the least to earn your support yet they get such good sales here in NA.

all I know if Sony only had 2-3 high quality titles per year I'd be pissed. Let alone all the other problems associated with MS' console division.

One day you MS fanatics will realize that for the amount of money MS gets from your wallet, the amount of thanks in return is laughable.

In the end the sales will be close but what about the amount of good to great exclusive games?

To the whiners above spreading fake misleading info on Sony catching 360 this year. When you look at numbers it's not adding up how PS3 is apparently catching 360. By the end of this year I am almost positive the 360 will have distanced itself by two million more consoles when it's said and done. All of these fake numbers you guys keep trying to pretend Sony's getting worldwide will not help your cause. Fud in it's purest form.

Xbox 360 has sold more than PS3 since they both launched, that doesn't mean Xbox is the more popular brand. Playstation still has the PSP and there are tons of PSP users that don't own a PS3.

1.Nintendo
2.Playstation
3.Microsoft

Now if MS had a hand held like PS and Nintendo that might change, but I highly doubt it.

Jazz41085723d ago

Very good numbers for the 360. I don't know how you ps3 guys have ime to be on here with all those great games that as a ps3 owner myself I don't see. I keep my ps3 gathering dust till that one good game comes if ever and then I have days upon days of installs and firmware to look forward to before my game will even load. If this was the 360 it would be disc in and play even if I had not turned it on for a year. So again I ask is installing that much fun. I guess not and that's why you are always on n4g.

Just curious, what were you preaching when the 360 was getting consistently outsold month after month after month? I didn`t see you running around screaming about how the 360 was the least popular.

It`s amazing how the 360 gets a boost from several new sku`s, one that is $100 less than the competition, and the fanboys run amok claiming dominance, going as far as putting the 360`s sales in the same league as the Wii`s. The delusion is astounding.

Re-read my comment and then come at me again. I never said anything about the PS3 being ahead, I was talking about when the 360 was getting outsold, there`s a difference.

Playstation is not the least popular brand. Lets see how many current supported Playstation branded platforms are on the market currently

Ps2: 140 million consoles sold
Ps3: 38.1 million consoles sold
PSP: 60 million handhelds sold

Microsoft dropped xbox support like a bad habbit, so Xbox360 is the only supported platform on the marker

Xbox360: 41.7 million consoles sold

So Sony has sold 238.1 million platforms which it currently still supports,
Microsoft has only sold 41.7 million platforms that are currently supported.

The xbox brand is the least popular by a landslide.
Take off the fanboy goggles.

You just have to look at software sales to know that the lead means absolutely nothing in terms of popularity anymore.

you're basing this off a few months in one region, with a new model 360, and price reductions on all the older models. Japan is abysmal and sales are dropping in EU.

"The PS3 only managed those numbers due to brand loyalty."

Umm, ok, well so did the 360. Please explain to me how despite the world-wide up-tick in 360 hardware, software remains flat. How are all these new 360s are being sold, yet software is not? Because 360 loyalists are re-buying the slims in the hopes that this one won't melt.

The PS3 has never been close to the price of the 360, not once. You're going to look very foolish in a couple of months once the platforms (Wii/ 360/ PS3) are in relative parity again and the effect of the Slim/ reductions have worn off. You're going to look even more foolish when the PS3 gets its next price-cut.

It's fine to like the 360, but you don't need to disparage a trusted brand that has brought 377 million people enjoyment. MS has a long way to go before they reach that sort of stature, and they won't get there by throwing their money around and bullying the industry, much as they try.

jetlian5724d ago

its not 377 million people theres a vast amount of overlap on that number. And xbox as abrand doesn't have nearly as much brand power. The reason game sales are flat because the people buying not interested in the normal hardcore games.

Thats why they just now getting the system. Even on ps3 the early games sold more than the current ones. Res2 sold less than half of res1 same with motorstorm 2. Best selling ps3 exclusive still MGS4 and that was 2 years ago.

Chris3995723d ago

Do yourself a favour and stop replying to my posts. You haven't once demonstrated that you can accurately understand what I am saying, so any response that you issue makes no sense.

The reason why software sales are flat is because old owners are rebuying the system, its as simple as that. The parity between Madden sales when the 360 is supposedly UP on the PS3 by 8 million units in the US, should tell you something about the real amount of 360 owners in NA.

Your post is filled with nonsense.

What makes you think 1 game decides how and who is buying anything? you have a problem with how and who it seems. Madden 11 from my friends is the weakest of all!! They chose not to even buy it. And they get it every year. Go check the sales from earlier games and you'll see the series has been declining for years

First of all there are 3 consoles surviving in this market which is something that has never happened before.. This has nothing to do with sony's popularity.. If you want an indicator at how popular sony STILL is then think about this.. Despite launching a year after the 360, struggling to gain developer support, issues with ports, high price tag, bad media coverage, and microsofts constant propoganda they not only picked up in sales they managed to close that 6 million unit gap to within 3 million and the ps3 continues to do well.. Thats what is true. Its funny you said that ms is gaining new customers lol... Thats laughable, if that were the case then why has sony surpassed xbox lives number of registered users? Silver is free and you would think that people would at least register for a silver account.. Keep spin doctoring, it's not working..

Microsoft needs the core crowd that has made them a player this gen, to make Kinect successful and they have no games that appeal to them which could have disastrous effects on it's launch and ongoing successes.

That is still more likely to be people buying a new console that was an existing Xbox only player than an entirely new consumer jumping into the Xbox experience. The game itself will sell boat loads, but there is no reason to expect that Microsoft will post console numbers in the same vein of what they experienced in 2007 with Halo 3. I still expect the Xbox 360 to be on top through the rest of the year but Reach will only be a part of that for Sept/Oct, with CoD helping through the rest of the year. I remain unconvinced that Kinect is going to drive adoption given it's price being too high compared to the Wii.

Europe (U.K specially!) is ruled by 360 and Wii aswell Americas (United States , Canada , Mexico...) , Austraulia and New Zealand 360 and Wii are killing the Ps3 aswell Scadinavia.

This is like the only time you see 360 fanboys as a whole come out of their cave holes. Either when NPD results show that their system is on top, or when a blog gives a negative opinion on anything ps3 related.

Quite amusing really. Instead of noting good numbers for all consoles, they tout how great their console is doing for outselling the competition, how the US is the country that only matters, and about how ps3 fails and such.

Forgetting the fact that these same damn fools are rooting for the same company who're forcing them to pay more for online gaming, who had a piss poor e3, gamescom, pax showing, and have a miniscule exclusive showcase next year.

This goes to show that the saying that n4g is overrun by ps3 fanboys is a crock of utter tripe. Dumbasses.

remember wen da PS3 slim came out last year? i donth think any of u fanboys were singing this same tune wen Sony sold 1mil units in just 3 weeks of launch, 500,000+ on da week of Black friday. M$ didnt even see a launch as big as Sony did wit da slim. and then Sony put Microsoft in a DISTANT 3rd ending fiscal year 2010 by 4mil units.

FY2011 just started and M$ took first 3 months, launching new console congradulations! we still aint hit da peak of da year yet (Holiday Season) wen Sony is waitin to bring out their big guns. HaHaHa...ever since 360slim launched i just been laughin at alll da fanboys gettin excited like Sony just died and have nothin left for da year.
frm October-December
320GB PS3/Move=BAM!
Gran Turismo 5 lol ;D=Bye Bye Xbox
Litle Big Planet 2=BAM
& finally fo Christmas, just like last holiday season, PS3 Bundle, PS3 Bundle, PS3 Bundle. . .watch da tables turn on yall boys so bad.

I would say that N4g is run by PS3 gamers(to be fair and not say fanboys). When I do come here what is on the front page, PS3 jail break, Top 15 PS3 games, Blu ray is for PS3 exclusives and movies, ect.

trane075724d ago

To be honest I think this site is more of an equal number than what people try and make seem as if there is a more demographic of users other than the other. It simply depends on what topics are being discussed, and whats big in the news.

I think you see more news posts on things ps3 related from websites is because it generates more hits for them. Positive stuff works, negative stuff works, and sensationalist controversial stuff is webpage gold for hits way more so.

I said 360 fanboys come out of their holes, because so far this week other than the FFversus 13 rumor, its been pretty slow for 360 fanboys to thrive as much as the other console centric fanboys. You can ALWAYS find them ready and waiting for the NPD though. Its like 2006 all over again with the ps3 hate.

S2Killinit5724d ago

Come on guys really, lets be honest and realistic (whichever it is some of you obviously are not). Forgeting that the 360 has had a one whole year headstart. Excluding the fact that a lot of people have bought numerous 360s due to dead systems(thus the close software sales). Not taking into account that 360 has had a more recent redesign (beautiful one at that). Do you guys, screeming for "dominance" and what not, realize that these numbers are U.S. only? If you look at the bigger picture, you will see for yourself that the Playstation is been out selling the 360 for a long time. I mean lets be more mature and just enjoy the ride ey? we are all GAMERS first. Any how

It's starting to become clear that no matter what exclusives Sony offers (tons of excellent games and in addition they've been getting lots of exclusive content on multiplatform games, like Mafia 2, Red Dead Redemption, and more), and no matter how good of a deal their console is (no online fees, includes blu-ray player, etc.), they will just simply never be as popular in America as the 360. The 360 has officially won the popularity contest. At this point quality and value are totally irrelevant. I'm not saying that the 360 isn't a good buy, I'm just saying that the PS3 is oft-considered a better value and has been releasing more exclusive content for a while now, much of it receiving rave reviews, and it still isn't gaining on the 360's American popularity.

back to what I've been saying since I started coming here. Multiplatforms are the true games. they make up 90+ percent of the games. Theres no way you could ignore that amount and think its not a factor. The functionality of 360 is why its ahead

For the real killer under me atleast the new skus add stuff not take them away

Microsoft is a dirty cheap company, in the first place the sell millions defects 360 so that people buy those crappy shoddy consoles and meanwhile they built a another 360 with WIFI support becouse the know that 360 owners will buy a another 360 new 360 SKU.

Keep fooling yourself 360 fanboys.

"ps3 is a joke to the gaming industry"

The most dumb post ever without any arguments, do me a favor.
You are the one that buy more 360's than any PS3 owner does.
Buy your another 360 and play sales boy from the same buyers.

Well it helped Sony win last gen and get a bunch of devoted followers who buy anything regardless of price or quality.

When you look at the 100% failure rate of the PS2 and how millions of sheep were lining up to buy the new one with no thought of that faulty console last gen, you got to admit it is hard to ignore.

But I love how not even a gen after Sony had to be sued to fix the PS2, you are sitting on here talking about how great they are.

You hate MS for doing to others what your own company did to you last gen? Oh and it made you even more loyal to Sony? That is just amusing on so many levels.

S2Killinit5723d ago

my friend what you are saying is completely false and it doesnt take much research for you yourself to see it. So dont make such a claim without doing some real research as I can tell you that you are very misinformed about the failure rate of the PS2. Go check it out. There is no comparison. Honestly there has never been such a huge failure rate as we have had with the 360s in this current generation. Even news articles about the 360's failure rate have mentioned this, its not like you have to check out news archives from last generation to see this. Check it out for yourself. (Just a thought)

Heck no. I'm a gamer, man. I've owned every system from the NES to the effing PS3. That includes a Neo Geo and a 3D0. I got a 360 because Halo Reach is effing awesome and because there are a couple of old 360 games I've been wanting to check out but couldn't cuz they were exclusive. I got nothing against MS. I just didn't like that they put out a system prone to malfunctioning when they knew it was going to. I plan on getting Live for one year and I'll see where it goes from there.

As far as the sales question, I asked because I wonder if there will ever be a console franchise that will get the sales of Halo Reach on one console. COD Black Ops will do well but it's multi. GT5 will do gangbusters but I'm curious as to whether it'll do Halo Reach numbers. Either way, it feels great to be a multi-console owner and finally able to get games like L4D2.

makingdamage5723d ago

Why do people celebrate the sales numbers of xbox 360? I mean, it doesnt seem to benefit the consumers since microsoft doesnt use the money they earn to give back to their consumers, in form of exclusives (real ones that is). Instead they just seem to put the money they earn in their own pocket. Or is it something I´m missing?

Philoctetes5723d ago

I don't get the constant squabbling over sales. Personally, it doesn't matter to me if the PS3 ever sells another unit anywhere. The bottom line is that I have a ton of exclusives to play; if I had bought the other console, I wouldn't. Sales charts are a small consolation for not having any games to play.

In the US, this marks the 8th month in a row the 360 has outsold the PS3, the 3rd month in a row it has outsold the Wii, and the 2nd month in a row it has outsold the DS. Microsoft is on a roll!

@Philoctetes

What the hell are you talking about? Not having any games to play? According to Metacritic, 145 titles have released for the 360 so far in 2010, versus 127 for the PS3. Microsoft definitely uses the money to give back to the consumers with great games, except they like to release their games on the PC as well, to profit from their other platform, Windows. PS3 fanboys act as if it's not possible to play multiplatform games. There are many games that are not on the PS3 that I have enjoyed this year; ME2, Alan Wake, Crackdown 2, Metro 2033, LIMBO, SC: Conviction, etc. Add to that all the multiplatform releases and I'm willing to bet most 360 owners have played more games than PS3 owners this year.

Why would people be buying a 360 if there were no games to play on it?

@N4PS3Fanboys
Same reason I got my DS. Because it was cheap. The Wii sold tons of hardware with little to no quality software for years. How long did they have to wait just for COD4?

Your bet is flawed by the way. It includes 3 PC games, a commercial failure, a critical bomb, and a game with a 5 hr campaign (might as well point that out since CounterStrike took exception to GOW3 apparently being 6 hours, lol). Doesn't prove anything other than people seem to think that games with meta scores in the low to mid 70's like Crackdown 2 and Metro are somehow better than they really are every time NPD comes out. Selling that extra 150,000 in the US seems to give a lot of 360 diehards the impression that exclusives like NinetyNineNights 2 (46 on meta') and Deadly Premonition (65 on meta') never happened...yet GOW3 (92 on meta') inexplicably becomes a target. Go figure.

Excuses, excuses, excuses is all I am reading from the Sony fan clubs. Every time these numbers drop and they are positive for the Xbox brand they come out the wood works with more excuses than a person going to jail. Please stop trolling this topic month after month. It's plain as can see after all the RROD talk and no blu ray support, the crappy graphics topic and let's not forget the lack of third party support...after all that trash talking the 360 is still outselling the competition...even outselling the Wii now. You can spin it like some 24 inch rims all you want but numbers are numbers.

Anyone that claims Halo Reach is not a system seller is living under a rock in a cave under water. With the new slim bundle people will buy that bundle even if they already have a 360. Kinect's selling point is still left to be seen no telling how it will be received until people get their hands on it. But if it does what it's advertised to do you can expect those numbers to double this holiday season. Please stop trolling everytime NPD numbers come out. It's not a good look. The 360 is outselling in the US and at a higher price point with the new 360 slim. Just game and stop worrying about Bill Gates pockets...he's not even trolling these topics to see if you care..so why should you?

trancefreak5723d ago

Man Video games in general appear to be or become 1 of the biggest entertainment industries. There is just so much more video games have to offer here.

Each time you watch a movie its the same thing from start to finish. Some of these video games actually let you choose your own course of action for example: Take a game and you can play it different ways be different characters and sometimes change the outcome of the game. Just so much more replay value and if you add mplayer to it you can see where im going.

Hats of to gaming entertainment and congratz to the 360 this month. We dont ever want to see another videogame decline or crash like the mid 80s. So Game on :)

Btw I hugged my ps3 and 360 this morning because they will be getting put into overdrive this fall starting with Reach, GT5. Cant wait!!!
