Wow. The Wii isn't even in the top ten right now.
Edit:
Quick! Some one wake up the CNet guys! They need to get an early start on those anti-PS3 articles for tomorrow.
It really is all right there for everyone to see.
First party vs. first party.
Graphics hardware vs. graphics hardware.
No excuses. Microsoft has had four years to work on the 360. Sony has had three.
And Polyphony, Sony, and the PS3 absolutely wipe Forza off the map like Blu-Ray did to HD-DVD.
Better looking/more advanced rendering
Double the resolution
More cars on screen
Sony really is dishing it out this gen:
* 300 dollar PS3 Slim
* The Mother of All Epic Ownages, the Killzone 2 realtime graphics unveil showing the PS3 didn't just have a massive graphical power advantage over the 360 it wasn't even in the same generation
But also
* Blu-Ray kicking Microsoft and Toshiba's HD-DVD to the curb and being bought at a faster rate than DVD over VHS
* Free online with lagfree dedicated servers

"Wow dude, I could care less about sales numbers"
LOL! Yes, obviously you don't.
You surfed over to vgchartz.
Copied the two fake worldwide sales numbers that the little kid who runs the site made up in his head and typed into his computer.
Subtracted them and then tried to pretend they were real.
What is the most current shipment totals from Sony and Microsoft:
For Japan
For Europe
For the US ...
"Yes, the 360 has an 8 million lead"
LOL!
Do any of you ever get tire of being wrong.
Just look at the people are were absolutely stunned by the 300 dollar PS3 Slim. All the stupid little fanboy sites they filled their brains with were telling them that Sony could never possibly sell the PS3 for the same price as the 360. Not possible!
All the stupid little fanboy sites spouted idiotic crap about 'teh 360 GPU is more powerful' and ...
@NothingToGainButLove
Can't stop laughing that you actually were dumb enough to try to write a SALES article by going to F-ing vgchartz - the biggest joke site in all of gaming - and try to pass the fake sales numbers there as real.
Sony's numbers for Europe > Microsoft's numbers for Europe
Straight from each company's own numbers!
Stop wasting everyone's time with this vgchartz crap.
"8 million units"
LOL!
vgchartz fanboy fantasyland!
Lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo....
"But for now, the 360 still has a pretty firm lead. "
Except it doesn't.
The 360 is distant last place in Japan.
The desperation price cut below the Wii's price didn't keep the 360 out of last place in Europe where the PS3 is now 10 million compare to 8 or 9 million for the 360.
The only place the 360 still has a larger installed base is the US.
"According to VgCharts"
My god.
Do you have no idea what a complete fool saying something like that make you look like?
vgchartz???
Some little Xbox fan typing numbers into his computer. That's what you are clinging to?
If you need to rely on fake sales numbers to inflate the 360's installed base, why stop at vgchartz's fake numbers? Why not go all out and just pretend the 360 has sold 100 million worldwide?
Did the idiot who wrote that inane blog post actually go to vgchartz and take the fake 360 and PS3 sales numbers and subtract them. Then divide that fake number by various numbers of years.
That was a joke...right?
"The problem is this gen, we have Microsoft who literally came out of no where with an ACTUALLY successful product"
Huh?
Came out of nowhere this gen?
They had already been in the console market for four years when they launched the Xbox 360. Not to mention that they had been in the gaming business with PCs for many years. Yet they only managed to sell 24 million consoles worldwide.
Sony, who had never been in the games market, cam...
$299 PS3 Slim + GT5 in 2009 + Holiday Sales
Wow, that's going to be insane.
The rest of 2009 is crazy for the PS3 and PSP for releases:
Dissidia: Final Fantasy PSP
Persona PSP
Demon's Souls
GT PSP
Ratchet and Clank
Uncharted 2
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
Gran Turismo 5
and then God of War 3 just three months after the holidays.
The question is obviously the wrong question.
The 360's fate is sealed. It's going to end up eeking out a slightly larger installed base simply due to the fact that it hasn't been pulled from the market yet like the first Xbox.
The real questions are:
How many of those 140 million PS2 owners have bought Wiis?
How many are now done with the Wii and have upgraded to an HD TV and are ready for a PS3 now that they can afford one?
Ho...
One other thing is many of these gaming media sites aren't actually anti-Sony/PS3. If you look back at some of the former hardcore Sony/PS3 hating sites like EGM/1Up, it was basically just a few hardcore Xbox fans who managed to get hired and spread hate. Once they got fired or quit the sites actually became normal game reporting sites with legitimate reviews of games and fairly unbiased reporting.
It really is nauseating when you look back over the past 3-4 years. Can you imagine how crazy the press would have gone if Sony had:
1 A 33, 54 or whatever percent failure rate on the PS3?
2 Tried to pass off those pathetically fake Gears of War marketing shots as real?
3 Was charging 50 dollar a year just to be allowed to play online games with laggy P2P networking while Microsoft had free online with dedicated servers?
4 Was closing down f...
You are reacting to poor reporting.
The latest Broadband Engine chips in the Slim PS3 aren't any more powerful than existing PS3 models. Performance for all games is identical across all models of PS3s.
Angry Xbox fanboy throws a tantrum in his blog after dealing with the pain of the gaming world going crazy over the PS3 Slim, PS3 price cuts, 3.0 firmware, GT5 unveiling, etc.
Just look at the rest of the garbage he has written on his blog:
Here's the guy doing damage control for the RRoD fiasco:

Overwrought trash ==> Not on the Xbox 360. Ever.

"PS3 is almost 9 million behind"
Give that crap a rest.
The PS3 has already dumped the 360 into last place in both Japan and Europe. Right now for developers in 2/3 of the world the PS3 is the top selling HD console.
And the fact that even in the US, the only region the 360 isn't in last place, publishers have been reporting almost equal revenue from the PS3 and 360. And for some companies, they are already reporting higher revenue from the PS3...
