How can you possibly take these numbers seriously when VGChartz undertracked the 360 by a whopping 200,000 UNITS!!!! in the US alone for June?

And here are worldwide sales straight from Sony and Microsoft's financial reports for Jan. - Mar. 2011:

Xbox 360: 2.7 million
PS3: 2.1 million

GTA IV's Liberty City is still the most meticulously detailed open world I have ever seen. Once block in that game has more detail than some other games' entire cities.

Seriously, this is unheard of! Half a million in June with no big releases and next to no exclusive games. Not even Kinect games! And they sold more than last June when the new slimmer model had just released. How is this even possible?!

The 360 didn't even sell this many units in the NPD for September of last year during Halo: Reach's release. This is unbelieveable!

"Xbox 360 sold 507,000 units in June, selling nearly twice as many units as other current-generation platforms"

"Additionally, Xbox 360 was the only console in the U.S. to show year-over-year growth in the month of June."

Wow!

"Sony did not state how its PS3 sold for the month"

What a surprise!

If a game has 10X as many pre-orders as another game, than it is going to outsell it. Maybe not by 10X but by A LOT. Of course many people don't pre-order. But that goes for both games. You'd only have a point if the article was comparing Gears' total sales to Uncharted's pre-order numbers. Then you could say that Uncharted will sell far more than its pre-orders. But it's comparing both game's pre-order numbers. Both games will sell far more than this, and Gears is sti...

Are you suggesting that people who are not fans of the Gears of War series are going to pre-order it just because they don't have other games to play (even though they have dozens upon dozens to play)?

Exclusive games do not compete solely with other exclusive games. Uncharted 3's biggest competitors will be BF3, MW3, and Skyrim, not Resistance. The same goes for Gears of War 3. It will mainly be competing with multiplatform titles, not Forza 4.

You pay for Xbox LIVE to have BY FAR the most streamlined and feature-rich online service on any console. You're not only paying to play online. Of all the things you can argue about in the console wars, there really is nothing to debate when it comes to who has the best online service. Even some of the worst PS3 fanboys would just admit Xbox LIVE is superior in that regard, although the PS3 fanboys here on N4G truly do seem to be in a league of their very own.

There are ...

GTA IV is by far my favorite game of this gen and I can't wait for GTA V. There really is no game series that gets more people hyped and digging for even the tiniest little snippets of information. I call it "GTA fever". And there's a feeling in the air...

This is great for anyone who hasn't played RDR yet...

Who hasn't played RDR yet?!?!

Figured what out? The new 360 models have a failure rate equal to or possibly even lower than the PS3 Slims. Microsoft certainly figured it out, but there's nothing they can do about the old consoles that are still out there.

It's a great experience, but it would be better priced at $10 rather than $15. It is short and there is very little replay value.

Hopefully with the extra money they'll be able to license a lot more content for instant streaming.

I miss the days of women not having the right to vote.

This game has a 93 on Metacritic so far with 10 reviews. Amazing! Another AAA title for the Xbox LIVE Arcade?

Perhaps you should read more than the title, good sir.
