Ps3 stomped xbox 360 in sales, yet xbox 360 still had higher attach rates. This can only mean one thing -- A decline in hardware adopters. Pretty much anyone who wanted an xbox 360 has one. the original xbox sold like 60 million units, didn't it? I think that's pretty telling when you look at where this generation is heading for Microsoft. They really haven't wrangled in any new users.

eggbert5569d ago

The original xbox is at 24 million, GC at 22 million, PS2 around 150 million.

I think you've got a semi-valid point in regards to attach rate though. Usually EMEAA is a bit closer though, PS3 generally leads but I don't thinkt he margin is usually this high.

Also, the Wii is still selling like a beast. Its become the new PS2 apparently in that everyone has one or at least knows someone who has one.

shikamaroooo5569d ago

the Wiis sells have slowed down so much its selling like the ps3 first did in japan and the ps3 is selling like the Wii

HOTA9X5569d ago

PS3 Killzone 3 - 40,613 "

sony cant be happy with this... =/

that is that 4 weeks, Thats Horrible. Im not comparing it to COD where it should sell 10 million in a day but come on 4 weeks and Not even a million for a flagship title.

@Balt...Haha, your comment proved one thing for sure. You're just a talking head, blabbing out BS and only know half truths. "The original XBOX sold 60 million", haha you sounded pretty stupid there, which make the rest of your comment not worthy of reading. Especially since you were trolling anyway.

Also, it appears that this is one of the Vgchartz reports that's obviously okay since it shows the PS3 leading. Had it showed the 360 leading, you would be spewing out a bunch of shit about how VGchartz is inaccurate...lol

I see now why you only have 1 bubble.

Agent_S5568d ago

@Balt You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about... Wow, your attempt to analyze the situation is baffling.

No approve from me too VG

See Ya

ASSASSYN 36o5568d ago

He must have missed that key information.

ChozenWoan5568d ago

Doesn't matter what numbers are posted prior to the game companies quarterly reports. VG is only good at making publicly available charts of historical game industry sales data... and even then they have been proven to "adjust" the numbers from those of the game companies themselves.

So until we have the quarterly reports, which are just a few weeks away, I am taking all sales reports with a grain of salt... which means I'm likely to have high blood pressure by the end of the week with as many "sales experts" the net is churning out daily.

Quagland5569d ago

Kinect hasn't done squat over there in terms of helping the 360.

KingME5569d ago

Haha, whose talking about Kinect? Are you that desperate? No you're not desperate, you're just a fanboy.

Quagland5568d ago

Well, aren't we an angry Xbox brat.

"blah blah blah, once again Sony following someone else. All they do is copy ideas of others."

"That's because guys (Sony fans) like you were fat, dumb, and happy being at the top."

"It seems like every negative Kinect/Microsoft news become a meeting for PS3 Fanboys. It's amazing what people would do for mental comfort"

.....hmmmm, yeah. Course Quagland's the fanboy here KingME, course he is....

"US pre-orders for Nintendo 3DS are twice the amount of those placed for Wii at a similar point ahead of its launch."

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.

solideagle55d 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

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.

jznrpg61d 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.

Smellsforfree60d 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.

Loktai60d 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.
