Hardware statistics from ChartTrack show PS3 and Xbox 360 are within a hair's breadth of one another in terms of total calender year sales to date.
Xbox 360 enjoyed a 12-week headstart on PS3 before it was launched on March 23rd, but both systems have near identical sales figures for the first 38 weeks of the year.
However, 55 per cent of all PS3 sales came in the first four weeks after the console's launch date.
Xbox 360 is still benefiting from its price drop and the introduction of the Elite model last month, when it enjoyed a 260 per cent jump in sales. Since then (week 34), it has consistently sold more units than PS3 week-on-week.

Nameer from eXputer: "Some exceptions aside, I don't think the battle pass is a net positive for gaming with how they're implemented in most live service titles."
Sony is taking actions as video by Moore’s Law is Dead, has been issued with a copyright claim.
And people say it's all fake because Sony haven't said anything 😂 conveniently forget the PS4 Pro was only announced 2 months before release.
Just announce it already! I want to preorder one asap. But in reality they don’t want to lessen PS5 sales until Pro is ready to launch so I understand the business part of it. September is probably when they announce it with an early November launch like the PS4 Pro
I would take that video and upload a torrent of it, fuck that copyright bullshit. If your going to do something that has a chance of being taken down, make a torrent first share it. Then Sony or any other company is helpless and you can laugh in their faces, taunting them to try to take it down 🤣
As much as the PS4 Pro didn't represent a major % in the playerbase, announcing a 'better' model will hinder sales from the 'base' model. They are right, business-wise.
The CFPB issued a report examining the growth of digital commerce in online video games and virtual worlds.
Anyone defending their company of choice is smoking something. I’ll provide just a small part of the article. If you really care about the future of gaming you have to recognize all of these companies are just using you to make money by selling off that info. They literally have a profile on you.
“Gaming companies are assembling gamers’ personal and behavioral data: Publishers are collecting large amounts of data on players, including behavioral details such as financial data, purchasing history and spending thresholds. Gaming platforms can also track players’ location data, which can generate an accurate portrait of a player’s daily routines, such as their home address, places of employment or worship, and health and medical status. And with the advent of virtual- and mixed-reality gaming, the information gathered by headsets may include biometric data such as iris scans, eye movement, pupil response, and gait analysis, which may pose medical privacy risks.”
Want to still go with the narrative that your company cares???
Interesting piece of data, don't you think Nasim?
I predict a FLAME WAR!!!!!!!
so let me see itss going neck and neck with the ps3 rite, shouldent it be winning by a mile seing as the price was more than 200 pounds lower. i cant wait to see how well it does against the 40 gig ps3
I thought the UK market was similar to the US market. I guess not if the PS3 and 360 are neck-and-neck. Because we already know the 360 is doing average/bad in Europe and dying in Japan.
Microsoft is trying to throw everything but the kitchen sink at Sony and still they can't kill them? Ha! Trust me. Halo 3 or any other M$ only product will do nothing.
I think Microsoft fans need to realize that tens of millions of people around the world hate Microsoft and will not buy their products.
Little surprised by this. I thought the XBOX360 would be quite ahead by now. Very disappointing for XBOX360 with its head start & Halo3 out. This means things can only get better for Sony.
BTW: what's all this 'Nasim' picking on I see on these comments regularly ?
