I honestly dont know how the ps3 outsold the 360 by that much.
I only have a ps3 but 40000. Is quite alot isnt it.

TheUnbiasedLion5212d ago (Edited 5212d ago )

Americans maybe buying ps3 now? Remember a lot of them bought a 360 in the holiday.
It is a rumour people need to remember and sonys reach is wider world wide for playstation than xbox.

But who knows there's no break down on every single country. Plus like I said it's not accurate fiqures.

Bigpappy5212d ago

No, PS3 isn't do any better in the Americas. Look at the software sales for and that will lead you to why a console is getting a boost over another. "Armored Core V" was released in Japan and those guys don't buy Xboxes if the game is also on PS3. That and the 360 sales in Americas fell off a bit.

They are pretty much selling the same rate here in the west and that will continue until something big happens on either side.

GraveLord5212d ago

Xbox 360 doesn't sell that well once the holiday advertising is over. That plus the fact that PS3 sells ~20k each week in Japan and the rest is from EMEAA.

Half-Mafia5212d ago

The PS3 sells well all year around. The Wii & 360 are big sellers in the fall.

YodaCracker5211d ago

It's the same every year. The PS3 outsells the 360 by small amounts for the first 2/3 of the year, slowly but surely building up a lead. Then the holiday months arrive and the 360 starts outselling the PS3 by a wide margin, usually wiping away any lead the PS3 had gained. I don't know why the PS3 never sees as big of a holiday boost. The 360 would not have been the top selling console worldwide last year if the PS3 had performed better during the holidays which it certainly should have with its $50 price cut.

Ares905211d ago

the importance of the American market is undeniable and 360 proved it. If it was the best selling console the last year, it owes it to America.

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.

solideagle15d 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

Relientk7715d 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.

jznrpg21d 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.

Smellsforfree20d 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.

Loktai20d 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.
