Pachter: 360 outsold PS3 in the US last month

Wedbush Morgan's Michael Patcher gives his analysis of 360 and PS3 hardware sales in the US which he says will be release within the hour.

Is anyone really surprised? consumers have spoken, the home of GTA IV and HD gaming is Only available on the Xbox 360

[Fishy Fingers]

In America.

I believe your from Oz right? Perhaps you should concentrate on your Home sales. Ah yes, but that wouldnt give you the result you want now would it?

RROD replacements isnt helping microsuck much these days.

[Fishy Fingers]

Shaka2K6, What does RROD have to do with this? I know it's the open zone but at least try and relate to the topic.

Zhuk, thats a lovely software chart but I'm not sure how it proves MS sold more CONSOLES than Sony??

[AngryXbot]

Ill wait for NPD data instead.

And I predict PS3 sales > 360 sales.

I like how Zhuk, the xbot, says that 360 is the home of GTA4. When the reality is that GTA was born on the PS platform, making the PS3 the home of GTA franchise.

Xbots are so stupid and in denial, they talk about the most delirious stuff.

[digger18]

Wrong..The GTA series was born on the PC

[Bathyj]

Not in 3D it wasn't. Its a completely different game like Metal Gear and Metal Gear Solid.

Grand Theft Auto was REBORN on Playstation.

[thor]

GTA1 was released on numerous platforms including PS1 and PC. But every last GTA has been on a playstation, so I think we can say it's a PS franchise, just not exclusively.

[AngryXbot]

Lmao now what, xbots?

Now what idiot Zhuk?

Pachter says PS3 outsold 360 (again)

Hot damn, is you stupid or is you stupid?

Hahaha.

Its over xbots. OVA! PS3 > 360

"but, but, but...The hardware shortagez?"

Hahaha!

[yanikins111]

he has predicted ps3 to win, and now 360.

Atleast his gonna be right for once....

[The Wood]

great gig if you can find it

[Feihc Retsam]

You have to figure, if each console received the same % of console sales boost because of GTA IV,the Xbox 360 would obviously sell more units because it already had such a large base.

[Lifendz]

as a matter of fact, Patcher is worse because he at least has a 50/50 chance of being right. I almost believe any one of us would be qualified to guess which console sold more within a given month and be right as much as Patcher.

[Fishy Fingers]

That's nice. Seems GTA helped them out on home turf. Now they just need to release a great game each month to keep it going.

Might be difficult.

Either way, good for MS, it cost them enough.

[codeazrael]

so shouldnt it be the ps3 that need to come out with a great game once a month..........just to catch up?

[butterfinger]

I guess the PS3 will be catching up as you suggested.

[SUP3R]

You're one of those comparing 2007 to 2008.
What happening in 2008 on the 360 between June and October/November exclusives wise?

[codeazrael]

And I'm not going to play this childish little game naming all of the great games coming ONLY to the 360. I'm just tired of news reports of someone claiming the ps3 will have more or better games. JUST COME OUT WITH THEM ALREADY!!!!!!

[PSN-JeRzYzFyNeSt]

Pachter srry but Ps3 outsold the 360 agian im a better analysist

[Bathyj]

Ha, Nice.

[MaximusPrime]

indeed 360 outsold ps3 in the USA ALONE!

What about the REST OF WORLD? PS3 OUTSOLD XBOX360.

Sony conquered 90% of the world. That is a BIG different

[gnothe1]

maximus that my be true but when it comes to gaming money the USA alone counts for just as much if not more than the rest of your world!! why is most games released geared toward the west(USA) shooters an action games an GTA. BECAUSE THATS WHERE THE MONEY'S AT.

[masterg]

@gnothe1

You need to look at the sales.
Europe sells about 2/3 of what is sold in the US, but we pay about double what you guys pay. Meaning Europe alone beats the US in earnings.

[Meresin]

It actually has more to do with the size of the audience than anything else. The US market is important because it is big. However, US sales aren't everything. Selling more systems globally is more significant than selling more systems in one country, especially when that country's currency isn't what it used to be.

It really is a global economy now. Local numbers don't mean much anymore.

[codeazrael]

The fact of the matter is that the USA goes big with everything we do. Video Games, when they are released, and I'm talking about the big ones, they are always released in the US, long before the UK, hell, the UK has had to wait for everything, simply because there is more to be gained in the US. We consume more than three times the amount of oil than other countries. Basically, we spend, and that is why, getting back to all of this, is why even the 360 outselling the ps3, even if in just the US, is huge. Although I'm sure after all the official numbers are out, they will show more territories where the 360 reigned supreme.

[titntin]

What has happened to news on this site?

Analyst reports his guess in an hour or so!

Why the hell is this news? Even when he releases his guess, its debatable as to how news worthy it is, but his story is ridiculous!!

[macsto]

great. But seriously it doesnt matter... Xbox 360 and PS3 will be neck and neck till the end of their life. People, go out and try to buy all three consoles at one stage, even if its when the console you are missing is down to 199. We play games not the consoles.

[Angelitos]

Uh Patcher, no........

[dale1]

didn,t the game come out the 29th of april so a couple of days sales then,i think i will wait for may and june npd data to get a clear picture on how things are going usa.

[SL1M DADDY]

Sorry, but this guy has been so far off the mark lately that not even the most devout fanboys should listen to his dribble.

[gololo]

why is this news???? A freaking article about another article that will come out in an hour???? I just lost 5 minutes....come on mods do a better job!!!!

[sleepbox]

Yea, I remember talking to the Gamestop manager on GTA4 launch day and he said the ratio was over 3/1 in the 360's favor.

[thenickel]

This will be good huge news for MS if true!

[Le-mo]

Pachter is a hypocrite. Last month he predicted the PS3 will outsell the 360 in terms of hardware and now he goes changing his mind. He must've seen the numbers.

[sleepbox]

Only ignorant people spreading their ignorance like a disease would even try to claim the PS2 was the "home of GTA". Your attitudes sicken me that you would try to mislead others.

GTA came out on PC, I remember vividly playing the PC demo. GTA3 had a 3d perspective but you could still play it top-down if you wished.

Anyone that claims "brand recognition" is a factor need an education as to how poorly Madden sold on the PS3 compared to the 360.

[Bathyj]

GTA games sold on Playstations = 47 Million

GTA games sold on Xbox = 7 Million

No, brand means nothing.

GTA3 was a complete reinvention of the series and only became as big as it is on PS2 and you know it.

If you feel sick I'd suggest AntiAcid.
