This is the 3rd or 4th month in a row that the Ps3 has been under 100k. I guess we will see next month how the temporary 100 dollar price cut has effected sales for July. Hopefully they at least break the 100k mark....WOW....

A tad off topic....But New Line Cinema has decided to not only support HD dvd...so another Blu ray supporter goes to HD dvd....Disney is really the only other one that is holding out. But they support MS's online download service for 2 dollars a pop...I...

Sony and Disney exclusively....

And Disney has all of its movies available on the 360 in HD for download. For only a couple dollars each...lol

Fox isn't releasing any movies until their is a winner.

All the other major studios release on both formats. Blu ray and HD dvd....

HD dvd has the advantage due to In Movie Experience and U Control. Those features are truly next gen and make the difference when I decide which version to get...

But I have compared them in my home. And the 360 version looks much better on my 1080p tv. Its not even close.

But to be honest...thats the case with every single 3rd party game released thus far.

Its a big selling point for the 360....

Not only does the 360 have an un believable lineup of exclusive games....but every 3rd party game looks and plays better. Oh, and the 360 is cheaper to boot.

I can't wait...Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey are both quality RPGS....I can't wait. WOW

Oh yes...Eternal Senata looks Great too. No doubt.

Command and Conquer is SUPERB on the 360....And they are making this game specifically for the 360....It will be spectacular guarenteed. 2008 is looking to be fantastic for the 360....but its hard to look that far ahead with all the AAA games releasing this year. WOW...Kudos Microsoft. Keep pushing the industry.

I sent you a personal message.

And no...you don't make sense. I called you ignorant and ill informed.

And no...re read what you typed....you state things as if they are fact...not opinion. And I see very little logic or experience in your comments buddy.

I'm not better than you. But I can tell from what you say and claim that your not very knowledgable on the video game industry.

Oh, I gave you my full respect and read all of y...

All that typing and you really just show how ignorant you are. You know very little about video game systems buddy. Your math is illogical and you annalyst is that of a child. Which you may be so please don't take offense. But I typically don't respond to jiberish such as yours. So we can agree to disagree. And for the record I disagree with every word you typed and you have no facts or links to support anything you blabbed on about. Your not on my level buddy. And this response is al...

The Ps3 hasn't had one game in the top 10 selling list since its launch. If you actually think they both have hit the one million mark...Well then that would mean 1 out of every 3 ps3 owners bought both of those games. And I doubt that very very seriously.

The ps3's game to console attatch rate is horrible. Its 1.6 games sold per console. lol..... Sony fanboys do all this talking but yet they don't even support their console where it matters most....But some damn games......

You do realize that multiple accounts will quickly decrease your bubbles right?

Secondly...You do realize that the xbox 360 has a game to console ratio of 5.9. And continues to sell more games than the Wii and Ps3 combined right?

Thirdly you do realize that "EVERY" 3rd party game looks and plays better on the 360 and "EVERYONE" knows this.

Fourth, you do realize that there are more million plus selling games on the 360 than the...

The 360 while only shipping 700k that quarter...3 months equals a quarter....Still outsells the ps3....

The ps3 has been at 80k a month and at most 100k a month in the USA...and 40 to 50k a month in Japan...

The Ps3 is only selling approx...350k a quarter folks....But they are shipping millions....lol....So talk all you want about the lowest shipping month of its 2 year cycle at 700k....but when its all said and done its still massively outselling the "NEW&q...

SPOnG: But why is it such a hard thing to sell to Japanese gamers?

Keiji Inafune: Japanese gamers, or Japanese people in general, are very loyal to brands – whether it be clothing or cars or consumer electronics – so they are still very loyal to Sony and Nintendo. Maybe this brand loyalty isn’t there yet for Microsoft as a videogame console company. Hopefully it will start to improve in future though.

Microsoft slowed down its shipments. MS only shipped 700,000 that quarter. We can all take guesses as to why. But it has absolutely nothing to do with the demand for the 360.

If anything it most likely has to do with them preparing for a price drop and the new and improved chipset so there are less problems in the future with the red rings.

MS has the ability to ship out 2 million a quarter if they wanted. But more isn't better if the failure rate is above av...

And this is the number 1 reason why fokls. Game after game gets released and game after game that is released for the Ps3.....Doesn't compare to the lesser expensive but yet more powerful (for Games) xbox 360.

Sony fans can continue to make excuses to why....

But "Gamers" aren't stupid. Review after review don't Lie. There isn't some sort of conspiracy theory of MS paying developers to purposely make weaker games for the Ps3.

I went to my local EB Games/Gamestop store and saw a big sign stating the Ps3 is now 499.99. I asked my relative who is a manager there if the sales have picked up since the announcement. He told me not at all. He told me the sales are the same and they still have a lot of Ps3's to sell.

I then went to Walmart and low and behold....there were many ps3's in the casings.... I thought I saw somewhere that they were sold out at walmarts...when I asked the guy in the video game sec...

We will see when NPD releases their monthly figures for USA sales. I would assume that the Ps3 sales would be much higher this month. More in line with 360 sales....at least while the price cut is in effect. If the Ps3 sells any less than 200,000 for the month of July....I don't know if anything can help Sony at that point. I mean what more can they do? They drop the price by 100 dollars and they throw in Blu ray movies....

But come Halo 3.....and all the other AAA games r...

The 360 sold 11.6 million consoles as of the end of June according to Ms's official financial report.

If the wii indeed has sold 9 million and the ps3 has sold 3 million....That puts total users of the Wii and Ps3 slightly above total users of the 360.

12 million ps3 and Wii users compared to 11.6 xbox 360 users.

But yet the 360 sells more games than the Wii and the ps3 combined folks. It is still about games with our gaming consoles right?

Your right. But Moore was asked a question and thats why he is commenting on it. And those numbers sound huge...6 to 1 and 27 to 1. But the fact of the matter is total worldwide sales....The 360 is slightly behind the Wii and selling 2 to 1 over the Ps3. Thats since both the Wii Launch and the Ps3 launch. Thats amazing since the 360 has essentially maintained its 6 million console lead over the Wii and has actualy grown its lead ever month since the ps3 launch against Sony. WOW.

I love the effort by MS securing great games and building a nice library for Japanese gamers. As long as the 360 sells more than the original xbox when its all said and done. And its doing just that so far....Halo 2 has sold 100k in Japan. We can expect at least that. I know shooters aren't popular in Japan. But 100k in Japan is respectable. Sony is far behind what the ps2 did in Japan. And the Wii isn't showing any mercy.

Halo 3 will own from September and beyond. It wil...

That Halo 2 broke all pre order records with 1.5 million pre orders of Halo 2 making it the biggest sales day in Entertainment History.

Well, Halo 3 has shattered that record with over 4 million pre orders folks. That is unbelievable. I haven't even pre ordered mine yet. I guess I should. lol....

From September till January....Halo 3 will dominate game sales and online play. Most likely for years to come. WOW...
