[sinncross]

Wow, did Demons Souls actually hit 100k for its first week in the US?

Awesome!

[Cyrax_87]

Word of mouth FTW!

[Sarcasm]

Wow... no wonder they ran out of copies.

[Simon_Brezhnev]

im glad it sold that much hopefully they will start working on Demons Souls 2. I hope in the new one we can ride creatures

[vhero]

360 outsold ps3 only just I see not surprising though as most people will have bought their systems with Uncharted :).

[SuperM]

this is vgcharts so you cant really trust it.

[WenisWagon]

360 - 79,925 (+4%)
PS3 - 78,820 (-7%)

[Jamegohanssj5]

VG Chartz? Cool so that means PS3 and 360 sold the exact same ammount this month.

TGSI

[ndibu]

You just had to ruin it and add a negative spin and start something huh? Come people, there is no need to turn this into a negative war, same goes for number 4 and 5, very unnecessary guys.

[AKNAA]

why are all these people buying this crap!? sure $199 is an affordable price for a console, but for the luv of gaming Get a freakin' 360 at least for that price!!!

[sikbeta]

You can count mommas and kiddies as casuals, that's why people still buying the wii

WOW in the land of xbox it's only outselling PS3 by so little

Great to see Demon Soul doing so well

[HolyOrangeCows]

But I had to save my $$ for Uncharted 2. :/

[JeffGUNZ]

I am surprised it didn't Outsell the 360. I expected the Slim to help edge PS3 sales over 360 until after Christmas. Good numbers for both. Once Black Friday hits, these numbers will triple.

[Tinted Eyes]

Lulz Vgchartz

[DaTruth]

You guys are discussing this as if it were real numbers.

This just proves the VG 360 bias. All console sales are down in North America except the mighty 360, that somehow bucks the trend by just enough to put it over the PS3!

F'ing lame!!!

Would love to discuss the Demon's Souls numbers... Call me when real numbers are released!

[thegood33]

LOL, the 360 is an unstoppable machine. Already outselling the PS3, after a couple weeks. Most impressive.

[maspi]

demon souls = sleeper hit of the year

[Another One]

I think that's safe to say. It sold quite a bit apparently. Another title I can't play that I really want to. Damn my lack of money and the lack of decent jobs! (reasons I don't have a PS3)

[Real Gambler]

Sadly though, the release timing is pretty bad with Uncharted 2 coming out just a week after... Not the same type of game, but quite often, most people can only afford a game per month or less... It would have been nice to see the numbers for a few weeks, without a big gun coming out in there. Word of mouth would have done great... Even just talking about shortage, since they obviously were not expecting those numbers would have kept the sales going. Well, still looking awesome, particularly for U.S. Wow!

[Sarcasm]

"Not the same type of game, but quite often, most people can only afford a game per month or less..."

I agree. Spending $65 once in awhile isn't too bad. But if you drop $130 at one time for two games, you feel guilty. Not only because of the money, but trying to make time to play them both to the fullest to get your money's worth.

Which is what I'm going through right now. Uncharted 2 absolutely absorbed me. I cant play anything else and don't want to play anything else. But now my Demon's Souls copy is crying in the corner. "Please! You still have to kill 5 more demons! Why did you stop? WHY!?"

[ABizzel1]

I didn't care for demon's soul. It's a good game gameplay wise, but I just couldn't get into it (I like the online). I guess it just isn't my type. But then again I didn't like Oblivion either.

[Rofflecopter]

Yeah, Demon's Souls is slightly Oblivion-ish if thats one of the few RPGs youve played. It's a great game, but I usually just play offline. People spamming Acid Cloud and Scraping spear just gets annoying as hell.

[Sarcasm]

"PSP - 43,505 (-25%) "

Is that for real? Are PSPgo sales not calculated or something?

[SnukaTheMan]

it released on october 1st right...what you think its some conspiracy from microsoft?

[Sarcasm]

I never said Microsoft. You did.

I'm just surprised how much the hardware dropped off even with the release of the PSPgo.

So it's like people decided to stop buying regular PSPs AND not buy a PSPgo since it came out lol

[frostypants]

I know it will upset some of the fanboys here, but there is no doubt that the PSPGo is a mistake. I have yet to hear anyone, who's opinion is considered relevent, praise it. Face it fellas, it was a misstep. It LOOKS great, but it's clearly a case of form over function. Nevermind that the marketing behind it has been straight up anemic.

I do take exception to those calling it "another" misstep, though. I think Sony's strategy with the PS3 has been great.

Also glad to see Demon's Souls selling so well. I've been playing the HELL out of that since last week. It has actually cut into my Uncharted 2 time significantly, which is saying something given the awesomeness of that title. Massive props to From Software, and to Atlus for taking the gamble in publishing it stateside. Maybe next time we won't have to wait 6 months for their efforts to get published here (I feel horrible for Europe, who has yet to get this game). Bring on an expansion or DS 2, stat!

[creeping judas]

PSPgo @ $249
PS3 @ $299

That's the reason it's not selling. Along with what Frosty said.

[d_dogg2007]

Are americans really that dense to still be buying that outdated xbox when a state of the art ps3 with some of the best games is at the same price!! Seriously are you people really that gullible to only believe in marketing and not actually look for value? Microsoft bends you over backwards and inserts yet you keep taking it? Extremely baffling i cant seem to wrap my head around it.

[heihoosilver]

when Ps3 bring 4D games, 1080p 120Hz games much more people buy Ps3`s, but Ps3 continue to show games barely better than Xbox360 Games and weak multiplats people prefer to buy Xbox360.
Do you think just for one time that people like Xbox360 exclusives more than Ps3 exclusives? I like more Halo, Gears, Crackdown, Blue Dragon, Lost Odissey, Forza and other games than Uncharted, Kzone, GT5.

[Elvfam511]

Do you know what 4D means seriously

lol at multiplatforms games that all you guys have on Xbox 360 your exclusive aren't doing nothing not passing each other like they should

[calis]

In before fanboys argue about Uncharted 2 not there and realising the Uncharted 2 wasn't released.

[Another One]

now you ruined all of the fun that could have been had. Now they'll realize their mistake before they post it...maybe.

[CID]

There numbers can be way off. Should stop posting them.

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

The 360 gaining and the ps3 dropping. The ps3 has been dropping every week since it's price cut. As expected of course. People went bananas here thinking the ps3 was going to catch up to the 360 by next year. LOL.

Anyway it is nice seeing Demon's Soul get some great sales for a title that is mostly unknown. Love this game. I seen my roomate play it and he hates it. That's cuz he keeps on dying. HAHA. He's such a noob.

[calis]

Didn't the 360 get a price cut?

360 isn't gaining. And the PS3 was always going to level out, it is just a matter of where the average lays.

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

Of course it was going to level out. Unfortunately lots of people here from the other side didn't have that kind of sense and thought the ps3 was going to sell like 500k a week forever. And now we have the ps3 selling less than the 360.

[ndibu]

That +4% kinda does sorta mean that the X360 is in fact gaining, but hey I'm no maths head...lol get it? Meth head? Cos gaming is addictive? Aaaaah forget it, my wit is wasted on you people

[SnukaTheMan]

funny thing is most people are talking about demon soul sales and not ps3 slim sales no more....cant wait for october sales charts...100 k for demon souls is not bad...now lets see that drop off next week in both demon souls and the slim even. Dam...afrika is nowhere in sight...I bet all you people who said would buy it didnt...way to support those little games....

[ndibu]

I take great offence to that as an African!! Oh wait, you mean the game? My bad...as you were...lol can't believe i exhausted my bubbles just so I could make that stupid joke...worth it

[Sarcasm]

Haha look at this guy doing backflips and going ape for anything remotely negative about the PS3.

And last I checked, a console with a $100 price cut with a $50 rebate had better sell close to a console that's $299.

[Ju]

Nice spin, Halo3. Lets just go back a bit and take a look at the last 3 weeks:

360: 86-77-79.9
PS3: 79-84-78.9

I'd say both leveled out somewhat. No trend I can see here, except it goes up the one week and then down again.

If you would transpose your statement to last week, it would have meant: PS3 is gaining, while the 360 is continuing to loose. Or would that be any different?

(BTW: the 360 lost 50K vs. PS3 in Europe alone this week, and almost 100K on a global scale).

[Isaac]

Why should anyone take you seriously? Anyway this is a minor spike by the 360. "Rebates" anyone? Microsoft is desperate. Also, this is only the states.

[Dread]

Said someone with a Sackboy avatar...

why should anyone take you seriously?

dude you owned yourself.

lol

[punisher99]

Whats the point of bragging about 360 outselling the PS3 in the usa, when the PS3 is still outselling the 360 overall?? Just please explain your logic.

[n4gno]

360 sold the same only in america, eveywhere else, ps3 leads high.

don't be in denial forever, it's the end.

[iChaos Amongus]

"don't be in denial forever, it's the end. "

Not to be harsh man but I think you're the one in denial. Sony threw their Hail Mary and it did help much at first, but has definitely died way, way down. MS is going to drop bombs on Sony in 2010, and this generation will probably be over in 2-3 years, max. PS3 seriously probably lost. I wouldn't doubt 360 outselling PS3 again at this time next year by good amounts.

[DaTruth]

Wow, you would think these were credible numbers by the way you guys are arguing over them.

Please STOP, just stop!!!

[RememberThe357]

This is could easily change next week. This is getting pretty f*cking weak.

Both consoles are selling well. Why can't you morons be happy about that?

@iChaos Amongus: Your narrow mindedness, is actually bothering me. You claim that MS is going to drop bombs? What would those be? Natal? Because Alan Wake is the only other thing that is come to the 360 from MS. Mass Effect, and Conviction are third part, and are easily met by Sony's first party.

It war both sides drop bombs.

[ndibu]

Halo ODST still kicking A$$ and taking names! Wow and X360 still holding strong at +4% nice. . .thats how a true Xbox 360 fan should react to this news, please let us be, don't take away another of my bubbles

[free3sixty]

But when the PS3 was at 550k then you were proud of vgchartz numbers right? LOOOOOOOOL

@ dogg

The 360 is an american console.. is it so hard to understand? Its like the PS is a japan console.

Also americans love playing online.. and the 360 is known as the best online experience there.

WTF do ya all tjink.. that the PS brand is a god? OMG... come on.. the slim effect will take as long as the price cut from 600 to 400 USD.

[d_dogg2007]

Toyota is a japanese company, samsung is korean so your point about american made clearly doesn't stand because those two things i just mention sell the most in the states. It's the marketing and the fud that has gotten to the american public once you are able to market to them it's game over the'll believe anything you say. And fuk off for the disagrees is it so hard to just admit that some americans are stupid i mean are you really that insecure that you can't even admit it yourselves just get disagrees, whatever just live in denial because you guys obviously don't see yourselves like the whole world does.

[Serial_EDX]

D_dogg toyota is made in the US why do you think they are in NASCAR, same for samsung, they are made int he US now.

get your facts straight please.

[free3sixty]

man cars are mostly bought by older ppl.. while console are for younger one.

[Elvfam511]

PP

[rockyphoenix]

if u add da japan weekly with da us weekly and europe ps3 selling maybe 150-200000 worldwide this week. now add 360 us weekly first of course then japan(oooooops) and europe. wow.

[Ron_Burgundy]

lol it's just the US numbers, and then the numbers in Europe, Asia, or Japan look bleak for the 360 :P

[likedamaster]

I see you found no other way to spin it. 360 sold more than the ps3 and this without bluray.

[CID]

Thee weeks? Learn to spell please retard.

[Man_of_the_year]

Yet you still understood what he was saying.

[creepjack]

I see things are slowly going back to normal on the console sales front.

[Sir Ken_Kutaragi]

...Anyway...Remember Kids ;-D ...

'Wii' = $199 + 'xBox 360' = $199 + 'PS3' = $299 (PS3 is STILL $100 more)

+ Will the 'xBox 360' 'EVER' beat the 'Wii' in the U.S.of.A???
It's been cheaper than the 'Wii' for over a year now and 'STILL'??? can't beat the 'Wii' in Sales??? That is a MEGA-FAIL!!! ;-D

[Pirateogta]

The 360 is also available for $300, which is the price at which most units are sold, so that's not a fair comparison.

[Ghostflight]

PS3 will catch up soon! FFXIIIjp/Versus, GT5.

[likedamaster]

They can fix it... give it time... it has potential!!!!!

ROFL

[keysy420]

alot but they are outdated making a aruguement that people like 5 year old ips better than new ip's makes you and the people who play them sound dumb. hey i love mario but im not gonna say i prefer mario better than a new ip. hey halo gears forza are good games do they compare well to the competition no. its like saying i prefer the dreamcast even if its out dated ill prefer to buy some games on their vrs the ps2 becuase they look a little better on mulitplats. 360 fans are retarded they say they play multiplats on the 360 because they look better but when a game like killzone 2 comes out that pushes the boundaries of console graphics it takes a hit as just being a game that looks good. get off mS d1
ck please. Americans are showing that they are ready to support both systems which is good. But really what games are 360 fans playing. i had someone come to my house yesterday. watch uncharted 2 for 5 mins jumped on mag. After that he left my house went and got his 360 took it to game stop and bought a ps3. see he didnt even know about wifi rechargable controllers being able to surf the net and all thsi free. before he left he said i didnt buy a ps3 because the price was too high at first . so i waited to get a 360, damn what a mistake i thought i would get that becuase that is what everyone else had. but so what if people dont have a ps3 they need to get one. this system far exceeds my 360.

[keysy420]

of these 360 sales are replacements

[xg-ei8ht]

I don't remember anyone saying Africa being a massive hit?,lol.

It's a game about animals and you follow and take pictures, sounds more like a japanese and minor title to me.

And as far as Hardware goes.

Don't be fooled by Vgchartz numbers.

[bobdog626]

I Bet now this is a gentleman's bet that L4D2 outsell's Uncharted2 .All card's on the Table what do you say?

[Halo_Reach]

This wa sobvious , Ps3 Slim boost it but now everything is going back to Normal.

This isnt Ps2 era boys , wake up , 360 will outsell Ps3 in America for ever. i Mean Xbox Brand and also in Some Europeans Countries aswell.

Nintendo is going huge like allways!

ODST selling like cokies =)

[Elvfam511]

..

[Nathan Drake2]

where is american chart for whole september.are they too scared to show them?

[rawd]

Creeping closer and closer, cry Bots cry

[AngryTypingGuy]

Not in America it isn't. Maybe the rest of the world.

[Pirateogta]

What are you talking about? The PS3 sales were above the 360 sales for a few weeks and they're just dropping back below now. They're not creeping closer.

[Saaking]

That pretty good. PS3 is selling around 30k+ weekly in Japan and is probably outselling the 360 in Europe so Worldwide the PS3 is destroying the 360.

[iChaos Amongus]

XD Nice spin.

[silverchode]

lol

[dustgavin]

There is no spin. Especially, since 360 is doing horrible in Japan.

[Father Murder X]

NBA 2k10 is garbage. The game is so full of bugs and glitches it should have been recalled.

[cardgenius]

With the PS3 and 360 that close together, Id say the PS3 sold more considering VGchartz love for under estimating it.

[Darkfiber]

That's awesome about Demon's Souls, I don't think anyone was expecting that. Amazing game, probably my favourite of this generation.

[Shnazzyone]

No no we can't. These charts don't show uncharted 2 at the top... it's totally fake. That's how things work here. A sony title is on top it's the start of a revolution. With no sony title at number 1 these are obviously all made up. I think I understand this site now. All we need is some weekly japan numbers with uncharted 2 on top. Now THOSE would matter.

[Pootangpie]

in the long run Vgcharts is always accurate in sales in terms of hardware and software why they don't count DD is beyond me espically since it's the driving source with PC but then again no sales chart does every year the PS3 sales trump the 360 because of the Pricecut this has been happing since 2007 I knew in the end it wasn't going to do anything for sony in fact at the moment they seem to be releasing more different skus then MS I mean if the PS3 was selling so much better thanks to the slim they wouldn't need to bother to release a 250 gig model packaged with uncharted 2 I've been telling this idiots for years if PS3 get's a pricecut MS is going to counter with one as well and it will be the same position again

[Iceman100]

Spanking the competition as usual.

[Pirateogta]

Victory is ours!

[silverchode]

360 - 79,925 (+4%)
PS3 - 78,820 (-7%)

ps3 ftw..........oh wait

[likedamaster]

Good numbers for Xbox 360. I thought it was done for the year after the PS3 pricecut. Good to see Halo 3:ODST is still selling well, and Demon Souls on PS3.

[dustgavin]

5 Halo 3: ODST (360) - 115,092
6 Demon's Souls (PS3) - 105,752

What happened to the massive Halo sales?
