Just do some research. NES has sold 62 million units total, not even half of the ps2 sales.
SNES only sold 49 million units. N64 sold 33 million, and Gamecube only sold 22 million.
Nintendo had no choice but to find a new market, hence the casual market with Wii. Everyone thinks the Wii is innovative, but in reality Nintendo had no choice. Look at sales from the NES to the Gamecube, ALL down hill. 62 mil, to 49 mil, to 33 mil, to 22 mil. Their systems were on a huge...
PSP has outsold xbox360.
as of sept 30 xbox360 has 44.6 mil sold
as of sept 16 PSP has 62 mil sold
Also psp was released only a few months before xbox360 in 2005, so not only has PSP sold more it has sold at a faster rate than xbox360.
So if xbot fanboys wanna play that game, then Sony's PSP has outsold xbox360 and sold at a faster rate. but then again PS3 sells at a faster rate too.
So pretty much PS3 and PSP have sold more and at...

Ghost, you are 100% wrong. Home consoles are not comparable to handhelds sales wise. My 3 cousins who are brothers have a Wii they all play in their house, but guess what? each one of them has their own DS, and they are not the only ones. Stop crying and bashing Sony, ps3 has outsold xbox360 world wide in 2007, 2008, 2009 and so far this year. Wii will catch ps2 sales? No it won't. Lifetime ps2 sales are at about 150 mil. Wii sales are at around 75 mil. Wii would have to sell at the same ...
This is how its going down for Microsoft, Kinect is plan B. They can't sell consoles faster than Nintendo, and they can't sell consoles faster than Sony, Wii and ps2 are the top 2 fastest selling consoles and ps3 is the 3rd. Microsoft rushed 360 to the Market, had a year head start, had a lead in exclusives games, had a huge price advantage over ps3 and started off with superior online and they STILL could not sell consoles faster than Sony nor Nintendo. Its not working, so using mill...
Makes no sense. Microsoft relies on a triangle of strength? No, Kinect just released a month ago and ontop of it, considering Kinect just released, when does the next xbox360 core exclusive come out? Oh yeah Gears 3 in NOVEMBER. So Kinect released in Nov 09, and the next core exclusive is not due a yr later in Nov 10. Looks like core exclusive support is being dumped in favor of exclusive Kinect shovelware
Exactly! Plus Sony is busy spending their millions on 1st party core exclusives and new IPs for their fanbase that has invested hundreds in their systems. It's kinda of a slap in the face for xbox360 fans when you invest hundreds and support a system and when 2011 rolls around and there is barely any exclusives and instead spending money on 1st party studios, exclusives and new IPs Microsoft blows half a billion on marketing gimmicks and shovelware. You know how many exclusives can be cre...
Microsoft has very little exclusives for their core audience and is banking on the success of Kinect to create a new audience for them which is why they are spending half a billion on marketing it. Sony does not need to do this because they are not trying to shift focus to just the Move. Its just an extra, Sony is spending their millions creating new awesome 1st party exclusives and new IPs, as seen by their 2011 lineup, they plan to move systems by creating core games, you know gamers games....
cgoodno,
Each one of your replies is only further proving the point of the article - That Microsoft has very little exclusives for their core audience and is banking on the success of Kinect to create a new audience for them which is why they are spending half a billion on marketing it. Sony does not need to do this because they are not trying to shift focus to just the Move. Its just an extra, Sony is spending their millions creating new awesome 1st party exclusives and new ...
Dead, you are a complete fool. Sony does not dump loads of cash and hype products to get initial sales. Sony have proven time and time again they are in things for the long haul, its a marathon - not a sprint. Move can be used for casuals and with its supreme accuracy can be used for the core gamers. Sony has tons of 1st and 2nd party studios and more and more games will come out with Move support and there will be more and more sales. Thats how Sony does it, and instead of using half a billi...
I also hope this is coming, I haven't played a Syphon Filter game since 1 and 2 on psOne, but they were some of the best games back then, would LOVE to see a ps3 one!
God of War III is my Game of the Year, but I know Mass Effect 2 will be rankings in a lot of GotY awards, can't wait to play this in January on my PS3
I day later and still damage control for playstation move outselling kinect without a half billion dollar budget?
The Japanese are smart, they produce quality products and don't by over-hyped trash, like xbox360 RROD console and Kinect
Looks like xbots are on full damage control. Well what do you expect? They have invested hundreds and hundreds of dollars into their xbox and instead of microsoft giving back and creating new first party studios to make core excluvies and new IPs they blow half a billion on marketing casual shovelware with barely any exclusives for next yr. All they had left was to play the kinect sales game and now that Move has outsold it and Sony spending their money on exclusives and new IPs they xbots ar...
xbox fanboy tears, bittersweet
Looks like the xbox360 defense force is in full motion, the xbots really get upset and cry when sony outsells them. I am seeing walls of posts claiming Sony is a liar and these are shipped, yeah guess what? Kinect numbers are shipped as well, cause you know retailers by them from Sony And MS so as far as they are concerned they are sold. Move has sold more than Kinect, and without a half a billion dollar budget, deal with it, suck it up and move on. The amount of crying on here is hilarious. ...
Great for Sony, and they didn't need to spend 500 million to do it. Awesome, knowing Sony that 500 million will go into developing more exclusive games.
A lot of it is just xbox fanboys or people who already blew their wad on a TV before 3D came out and now they are upset hating what they can't have.
ps3 has outsold 360 worldwide in 2007, 2008, 2009 and so far this yr and while being higher priced, launching at a price 200$ more and not having a 200 dolar option.
Also its a "win" for games when you see their 2011 exclusive line up.
And this generation is far from over. Ps2 is still being supported over 10 yrs after it came out. Ps3 has only been on the market for 4 years and is still at a price of 300. Xbox360 has a 200$ console option and ps3 still outsells it w...
