[Silogon]

PS3 got stomped! Stomped bad too. ahhahahahahaha, so much for "It's the end of the end when MGS4 comes out!!"

You dong bangers!

[power of Green]

How long did you expect MGS4 to boost PS3, it's a niche title only 3-4 million people buy the game. All MGS's sell around 3-4 million despite the 120 million platform owners. I was wondering why there was 500 comments in the RAGE thread, MSFT could see higher sales for a while with JAPANESE games on the way and Madden plus Too Human.

How did E3 make this much difference?, seems that things started to change afterwards.

[beoulve]

HOW MSG4 boosted PS3? EASY, create demand until shortage. A REAL SHORTAGE. Was it so hard to figure it out? poor bot

[SpecialSauce]

PS3 is in shortage plus 360 is only ahead because of price cuts. meaning no one wants that shyt unless it will cost them much less then buying a true next gen console, proving how garbage ur xbox really is.

[Sir_Ken_Kutaragi]

A Price cut and it only sells 27,587 more than the PS3???
;-D It's not much more is it!!! ;-D ;-D ;-D
That's PATHETIC!!! ;-D

'PS3 got stomped'??? Er i don't think so!!! ;-D
You just wait for a PS3 price cut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-P

PS3:4LIFE!;)

[IzKyD1331]

how much of shane kim's jizz do you bots have in your asses......THE PS3 IS HAVING SHORTAGES YOU IDIOTS!!!

[theKiller]

i have to disagree with u in one thing, that is they dont need to wait for a price cut from ps3, all they need to finish them of is a permanent 80GB MGS4 bundle with DS3 and thats it, and the price cut will not just finish them off but it will put them out of the race, after that 360 will be racing PC gaming :D

[Hellsvacancy]

The 360's ahead by 26 thousand OOOOOOOOOOOh and how many price cuts has the 360 had 2 get that No.

EDIT. oh look here cums another DIV (Pog), hav u noticed that when theres a little bad news regardin the ps3 all the little mice cum out (siligon,pog,jason 360) but when like 2day with the news that Rage will look better on the ps3 there no-where 2 b seen, looooooooooosers

PS3FTWN WOOT WOOT WOOT

[Hellsvacancy]

And wots Too Human? a game that been in development 4 10 years and it comes out lookin/playin like sh|t (and i hav played it) Looooooooooosers

PS3FTW WOOT WOOT WOOT

[Omega4]

Even without any AAA games recently released or a real pricecut the 360 still outsells the PS3 WW incredible

Just wait until Fable 2, Gears2, Banjo, Fallout 3 and those JRPGs along with the pricecut hit it will be utter chaos, hopefully MS will be able to keep up with demand

[Ben1054]

PS3 had no price cut at all and its not far behind xbox360, "incredible"

[Baba1906]

"still" outsells? isnt it the second week this year?

[Fiona]

hmmmm maybe because the 360 has a price cut?...

[Drekken]

First off... there was a price cut. Second, PS3 is in the middle of sku changes. 40Gig is going bye bye and I am sure anyone who wants it is waiting for the 80gig version. MSG4 bundle has been severely limit and that is the sku everyone wants right now.

So yeah, xbox won last week... but its not like PS3 didnt have its reasons.

EDIT: If Banjo is a system seller you guys deserve those avatars.

[juuken]

...What?

[metalhead]

I rememeber when I first bought a PS2 on launch and ppl were telling me that the system would never be good. That was true the good games werent out at launch, but they came out look what happened, sales skyrocketed and even killed a console (R.I.P. Dreamcast). And from what it looks like history is about to repeat itself. The Wii is only selling well because its cheap, but in the next couple of years the CD format and low hardware and the DVDs the 360 still uses will be obsolete and Blu-ray will make all the difference. Just look at Rage confirmed to look worse on the 360. Oh btw when home comes out Sony will climb to the top even faster

[poopsack]

he made a list.

[Aclay]

VG Chartz has already reported of a shortage of PS3 consoles and that's the reason behind the lower PS3 unit sales in America.

Whenever Sony get's everything up back to normal again with their console units in stock, most likely it will be back to PS3 outselling the 360 in the U.S. again. Plus, these VG Chartz numbers are just estimates, the only thing that matters is the Official NPD numbers.

The 80GB PS3 MGS4 bundle was number 3 in the Amazon.com top 10 earlier this week while the 20GB 360 for $299 was not even in the top 10 at all.

[Omega4]

Doesnt it bother you guys that even without a strong EU and JP following the 360 is still capable of outselling the PS3 WW

Personally i dont think the PS3 needs a pricecut cause its already worth more than the 360 (with bluray and wifi built-in) but even with that value if fails to sell well.

You all may think selling 30,000 more than the 360 is good enough but its not when you look at the PS2 install base, which i might add is being stolen by the Wii and even the 360

[Real gamer 4 life]

Why should i be bother, vgcharts already reported a ps3 shortage. There nothing to worry about. Chill and relax wait till the npd numbers come out. Don't gloat to early, because npd might say something else.

[cliffbo]

lol... yeah it's incredible, they outsold the PS3 worldwide for 2 weeks since the beginning of the year.

[IzKyD1331]

the 40 GB ps3 is being phased out....and the PS3 has been outselling the 360 all year, i dont recall you saying anything for the past 20 something weeks when the PS3 doubled the 360 sales.....

[Light Yagami]

1. There were PS3 shortages in the US according to the guy who runs the website.

2. There was a price cut or clearance sale in the US for the 360. Also the 360 had a huge price cut in EU around Easter and it still got outsold by the PS3. lol.

If there were no PS3 shortages, the ps3 would've outsold the 360 or been close to it this week. Even after Halo 3 and Gears of War came out, the 360 still struggles to outsell the PS3 WW every month.

[mikeslemonade]

So far for year 2008 PS3 has sold 5.6 million units and 360 has sold 4.2 million units. In the end it doesn't matter as long as PS3 sells more and by a couple million. We can throw you 360 guys a bone every now and then.

[pp]

At least you want find Too Human in a bargain bin like mgs4

[ricoloco]

but you will find it in the garbage bin. that demo was horrendous

[SpecialSauce]

lying around the store...... cuz no one will buy that shyt.

edit: i'm out of bubbles so i'll have to recycle this one PoG u say PS3 sales are falling and 360 are rising but up there^ it clearly states that the 360 actually did worse this month than last EVEN WITH A PRICE CUT.

[eagle21]

You know 360 is in the actual trash can in japan. Don't even go there on anything else.

MGS4 killed the sales of any 360 release in japan.

[Microsoft_Spokesman]

Dude Too Human sucked ass, I played it. It sucks more than Halo 3.

[Product]

I still cant believe the top 3 wii games(smash,kart,fit) are selling aswell as they are.More surprising then that are how well 2 year old+ ds games are doing.

I know xbox got that price cut they did alright i think they should have beatin sony alittle bit more then that but.........we should still be looking at software sales that is where the profit lies.

Also glad to see Mario kart beating Smash bros......thought Smash bros would whoop Kart.

[power of Green]

LOL at that fanboy(in the gamerzone) saying it is the 360 price cut" when Sony's sales are clearly dropping, Japan PS3 numbers are falling too. lol

No one is waiting for 80 gig PS3's assuming the masses even know they're coming lol(people are wanting a PS3 to play those remakes of their favorte franchises they played on PS2 and once those are launched and forgoten about the PS3 sales return to normal.

[juuken]

You're an idiot.

Don't reproduce.

[digger18]

Juuken your right, I have never come across such a complete and utter idiot in all my 41 years of life.

POG, please just stop talking fu*king crap all the time, it would be nice.

[Drekken]

ME WANT BUBBLES!

[iceice123]

Go WATCH MGS4, we know you have nothing better to do with that POS console of yours. That's why it is getting outsold, it has nothing to offer anymore, people see MGS4 is an interactive movie so they pass on it and the PS3. MGS4 was your consoles last hope, it failed, so your console now fails.

[power of Green]

LOL, Sources from all over are reporting falling PS3 numbers while the 360 is gaining.

PS3 numbers are falling because the consumer trend was falsely read, due to GTA4, GT5, MGS4... we seen a 7 month long spike as an result, this is my point.

That Juuken woman is loyal, I give her that.

[Drekken]

msg4 was ps3 last hope.... RIIIIIIIIIGHT. It was the beginning of an era that makes 360 games look like trash. SOCOM, LBP, R2 are right around the corner jerky. Be scared.

[zo6_lover27]

POG, you say that the 360 is gaining? It went down 18% and through this entire year, the 360 has out sold the ps3 for 2 weeks, a lot to celebrate there

[juuken]

Wow Icewake...just wow.

Your true colors show don't they?

So much hatred for MGS4...tsk, tsk, tsk. I can assure you that this game has more replay value than anything you can come up with on the 360. Go on, keep using VG Chartz as your bible. It seems as if the 360 fanatics are getting veeeeeeery desperate. The only thing they must cling to are inaccurate/inflated numbers lately.

The *only* reason why Sony's numbers are low is because of a *real* shortage. Once that passes, the PS3 will sell normally. There's a huge demand for 80gb as of right now...where MGS4 bundles are concerned.

You idiots need to take basic Economics and shut the hell up already.

You must be related to PoG because both are you are a bunch of f*cking idiots.

And slamming disagree buttons won't change that fact.

[karlostomy]

Is funny that you told POG not to reproduce....

It is ironic, because from what I have seen and heard you are a trollish, desperately single loser who camps 24/7 on N4g and most likely (pitifully) will never have the wherewithal and social graces to meet and procreate with another sane member of the human race.

.. oh wait... you probably will seek help from invitro-fertilisation to contribute to the deficiency of the SDF gene pool, right?

[juuken]

Hey karl. Take your 360, turn it sideways, and stick it up your big ass crackhole. I highly suggest you don't reproduce as well because we wouldn't want mini karl Nazis running around now would we? It amazes me just how *stupid* bots can be these days. Sony is fazing out the 40gb models for the new 80gb models coming out. That's why their sales may have dipped. It has nothing to do with the fact the 360 outsold them. Oh wooooow, for two weeks?

You guys are morons.

[karlostomy]

I love how you just copy my comments.

That's very creative princess.

Keep it up... you are getting better!

[i_like_ff7]

Shawg....

[DethWish]

I can't believe how they estimate numbers down to 1's :p

I mean what makes them choose 529,838 instead of 529,839

[Kyur4ThePain]

Console_x := 100000 + (random * 150000) + (0.05 * last_month_sales) - time_now;
Print;

Ooh, the disagree monster was here. I'm soooo scared.

[avacadosnorkel]

and PS3 will get a price drop.

[CViper]

They are always wrong.. then they just correct their numbers when the official #'s come out.

Its not even educated estimates anymore.

Enjoy.

[360rxorz]

Haha, look how the PS3 is failing. It has begun it's slow fall to the bottom... wait... It's already at the bottom! Ha! The only thing that is left for the PS3 is death, and that will come soon enough.

[Bladestar]

Metal Gear came out... people played(watched) it and finished it... now there is no reason to buy a PS3... now this is not just my opinion... the sells numbers confirm this fact... numbers will continue to fail.. unless Sony drops the price (for the 3rd time)... or pay a ton of money to kojima to try to come up with another Metal Gear game...

Hurry Sony! Gears 2 will chainsaw you an new @$$hole....

[running rampid]

jesus man! you are so quick on the defence when something isn't going in favour of your 'beloved' ps3. jeez man.

[TheExecutive]

VGChartz is retarded whether the 360 is down or the PS3. The only numbers that matter are those reported at the end of the year. THAT IS IT. Last year the win went to the PS3. This year? who knows and I dont really give two SH*TS. Both are selling well enough to get all the games they need on their respective platforms.

So cheer on fangirls.

[Product]

@Metalhead:there have been numurous predictions that show that the bluray wont start selling until 2012-2013.This(from what analyst say) will be about the time people make a huge transition from dvd to bluray....and i dont think people have that bad of an opinion on ps3..its badass.Period, but some people just dont understand how much money it takes to sell one.

I mean think about it..a standalone bluray player is between $500-$800.The ps3 is $400.How is Sony making a profit with all that expensive tech in it?

[TheExecutive]

I thought bluray had about an 18% market share right now? thats pretty significant considering how long its been out.

[pumpkinpunker]

And Microsoft hasn't even released their blockbusters yet.

Gear of war 2 is going to be the biggest 360 release since Halo 3.

Maybe next year, droids. Oh wait, FF13 is being released on the 360, too. Maybe next decade, droids.

[The Almighty PS3rd]

These pathetic PS3rd droids have gotten destroyed this whole generation. Everything they play is less, sub-par and inferior to the Xbox 360 experience.

The PS3rd DROIDS think the PS3 is going to make some OMG GLORIOUS comeback hahaha...even though it's been in last place 3 years into this generation and is still 6 million or more behind with Xbox 360 getting all Square Enix's RPG's, stealing Final Fantasy 13 and getting EVERYTHING. HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA

And now these MORONS think they have something special because the sequals to the B-GRADE titles Killzone and Resistance are coming out. hahahahhahaha. No Halo or Gears of War(MEGATON AAA franchises) on the PS3rd!!!! hahahhahahah

No Mass Effect! Hand-me-downs of Bioshock after it already won GOTY on the 360! No JRPG's whatsoever!!

Get used to it PS3rders.

You're going to STILL BE HERE FOR A LLLLLOOOOONNNNNGGGGGGGG TIME!

.......AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAH HAHAHA

Xbox 360 price-cut is coming this fall also, PS3rder's!!!!

......ahahahahahhahahahahhaa

[Bladestar]

Gears 2 will show Kojima how a game is meant to be sold... also at the opportunity he lost by not making his game on the xbox 360... it's no coincidence that already various games on the xbox 360 already broke ALL-TIME records in terms of sells; with relatively a very small xbox 360 installbase... it's all about marketing and Microsoft kicks the yellow cheese out of Sony on this...

[why_do_lemmings_cry]

Poor lemmings.
They have to use VG Chartz as gospel.
The PS3 has a shortage, a real one.
And yet they're still gloating over a two week lead.
Is that something to gloat about?
Apparently not.
Do you think people will run out and buy a 360?
PS3 numbers will return to normal.
And Sony will begin Operation: BEAT THE LIVING CRAP OUT OF MICROSOFT.

[Boink]

so when MS claims shortages it's bullsh*it but when sony does it's not?

how does that work?

[Fiona]

simple, fanboys. but the shortages it could be true or not. i just give msft and sony the benefit of the doubt.

[TheExecutive]

well, when MS claimed they had shortages it was after the holidays, which would seem logical enough if they had sold a lot of consoles last xmas, but they didnt so i didnt really buy that they had shortages of TWO months. That just seemed like spin.

They are completely replacing a model. They are selling their old ones and replacing them with a new model. I dunno, I suppose its fanboyism but there is some doubt that was cast in my mind.

EDIT: Nah i understand bro, most were fanboys :)

[Fiona]

i understand executive. Im not saying that everyone that said that shortage are bullsh*t are fanboys. shortage could be true or not. Im saying fanboys because of what boink said, when MSFT said they are shortage ppl called bullsh*t and then sony said they are shortage and ppl are defending and saying it is true. sry if I ofended anyone. (because of the disagrees.)

[DiabloRising]

Fiona, don't be afraid to speak your mind. Screw the fanboys. Anyways, while I'm not inclined to believe either money grubbing company, the Sony "shortage" at least falls in line with the shifting of models to the new 80gb version. The MS shortage was just a little too convenient because it was only mentioned RIGHT around the release of official NPD numbers, and also was quick to say "it will end when GTA comes out," which really says to me "MS is saving face since Sony is now outselling them, and they expect GTA to boost system sales." Sadly, neither system was boosted by GTA really.

[eagle21]

Even vgchartz reported PS3 shortages but you dimwits can't even go to amazon.com and see that the 40gb is sold out. When have you ever seen the 40gb sold out?

Shortages is why, when PS3 is restocked prepare to see 360 go back to the ass kicking Sony has been giving it since last October. 360 is not performing at a level that anyone should be bragging about. Fire sale will be over soon.

[eagle21]

Their sales numbers can't be trusted, but they are aware of PS3 40GB shortages worldwide.

The 40GB is sold out completely on amazon.com. I have never seen it sold out there. It's obvious why. The 40gb is being replaced by the 80gb in August.

[Nathaniel_Drake]

Not to mention the 80 gig metal gear is on back order on gamestop.com

[jwatt]

Exactly, you don't have to believe in VGcharts but the 40gig is being phased out and most likly there weren't enough 80 gigs to take the 40 gig's spot considering it's been selling out as soon as they get restocked.

[Product]

I like sony better then ms but i will say when i go to a target or walmart.etc...i always see both xbox and ps3 on the shelves,........hmm never the wii though know that i think about it.

wow getting disagrees from an experience i had...thats a new one..

[Bladestar]

Who tell you have the right to have and experience in this site!? Darn it!

LOL!

By the way I didn't disagree; I was the one who gave you the agree.

[TheDeadMetalhead]

I got 0 Agrees and 3 Disagrees for telling Juuken that the Fail Train was out of Donuts (And yes, we restocked).

[Fatmanp]

The PS3 has only sold about 500-750k consoles more than the 360 this year and the 360 has yet to release a system seller whereas the PS3 has released 2. For a brand which outsold MS by about 5:1 every week i think the 360 is doing tremendously well.

[Nathaniel_Drake]

It's a matter of perspective, I mean Microsoft's flagship title Halo 3 came out last year and it didn't beat the worldwide sales of the PS3 in 2007

[Product]

Didnt it beat ps3 in america?Xbox will never win in japan.

[Product]

then you get a disagree ..this site is whacked.

[xg-ei8ht]

Sorry guys but the ps3 & 360 numbers are the wrong way around. This will be corrected shortly.

[Makidian]

TO everyone that thinks PS3 sales are falling just because and don't bother to read sales analysis:

The PS3 is in supply constraints due to the fact that they are phasing out the 40gig in favor of the $399 80gig, not enough supply means there aren't enough to buy. And before you say anything about the 80gig not being phased out, it kinda is because they are removing the BC from it also. Don't be stupid Xbots, once there is only ONE version of the PS3 to buy at a very affordable price with double the features, the spike will continue forever and even sail through the next 360 price cut with ease. With the restock of the MGS4 bundles and them selling out, I imagine the numbers will be much better next week, compared to the 360 which has just had a price cut and nobody seems to care that it's only $50 more than the Wii. I can't wait until the PS3 is $299, watch Don Mattrick cry on Aaron Greenberg's shoulder while has a 'group hug' Shane Kim tells them that it will be alright.

[SmokeyMcBear]

wasnt vgcharts called crap? especially by the 360 crowd.. and now they are having a c*rcle j*rk over it... too funny

[Light Yagami]

Where were you dipshit xbots when this was posted?

http://www.n4g.com/NewsCom-...

[juuken]

Sleeping probably.

...I have never met a bunch of idiots in my entire life. Oh woooooow, the 360 outsold the PS3 for two freakin' weeks. The PS3 has been outselling the 360 for months.

Let them live in the world of denial. When the truth comes out...the smiles will soon turn into frowns.

[Xheratuul]

xbots please go home and play your little dvd9 compressed games

[why_do_lemmings_cry]

Disagrees, disagrees.
Flying all around.
Do I really care if you disagree poor lemmings?
The end of the 360 is at hand.
You just won't accept it.
Poor lemmings.
Poor idiotic lemmings indeed.

[Alpha_Gamer]

Tell, you what. When the 360 runs out of gas, I am going to get a ps3 for sure. I don`t know when that is going to be though. Too Human and madden this month. Fallout and mercenaries early september? Fable 2 October, left 4 dead AND gears in November...uh why go out and buy a ps3? If 8+ upcoming potential purchases is not enough for you...you need to find some new interests other than video games.

[why_do_lemmings_cry]

Poor lemming.
Do you think I care about what you think?

[Covenant]

I'm sure the 360 price cut helped.

But I'll wait for the NPD numbers before passing final judgment.

[ItisI]

I have more trust in vgchartz numbers than any of your fanboys numbers. You guys say one week when your console loses "it vgchartz they can't be trusted" then the next"wow we won thats awesome".LOL

Anyway the Wii continues to thump the HD consoles. Again and again and again. Becoming quite boring actually.

[xtreampro]

you know what, for 2 years now i have noticed how the xbutts lie about everything, they lie so much that their parents can't trust them thast how bad they are, firstly japanese are 3-4 yrs ahead of nearly all countries when it comes to technology, people still have this dumb understanding that because the 360 came out before the PS3, that means its better, well its not, THATS JUST NOT TRUE, a few days ago i went on the LG web site, to check out their latest 120Hz HD TV's, and in the description of the TV it said how good it is for gaming, and then it mentioned hooking up a NEXT-GEN consoles and it only mentioned the PS3 and WII, and even in the video description it showed a PS3 besides the TV, then i checked on Samsungs and in their descriptions they also mentioned the PS3 and a picture of it, and then Sony and Toshiba followed the same pattern, you see all these companies like new tech to go with their NEW products....so xbutts......please..shut up!

[Voiceofreason]

Sorry but why are so many people waiting for the new PS3 sku and nobody is waiting for the new 360 sku? It really makes no sense. I guess some people will use any excuse even if it is not a valid one.

[n00bzRtehgey]

lol

[why_do_lemmings_cry]

Poor lemming.
You are made of instant fail.

[karlostomy]

MGS4 has not even sold 3 million!

They should have bundled it with the console!

... oh wait.... they did.
