1.2 - vgchartz are bs
i'm as happy as the next person that the PS3 is selling well, but taking info from vgchartz.com means absolutely nothing.

they always have things wrong. we can't get excited because they predit PS3 the winner this time.

we can't have it both ways.

Please don't take this the wrong way Decapitator, you're a great contributor to this site but maybe you should review your overall submission process. I've never seen a contributor changing linked stories on the fly as much as you do.

it's true that vgchartz aren't 100% accurate but it's the closest thing we got for europe.

As for the US we have NPD and Japan I think we have Famitsu. Europe doesn't have anything as far as I know.

2.4 - jack points out some truths
and is hounded like a leper! sony by rights should already be up in first place. not lanquishing in third! although it's great news for sony, it's still not the slaughtering it should be. look at the uk on there, sony won't be catching microsoft soon there. the 360 is well established there, and lots of people have them. if the rest of europe had been the same, things would been a whole lot different.

anyway, like jack said, microsoft and nintendo are seriously eating into sonys market. sony will never have another console that will dominate like the ps2 did.. facts are facts, it just wont happen!

3.2 - Yeah I know so brutal to take 16 months to finally beat the new comer
It took the 70% market share leader last generation 16 freakin months to FINALLY sell more units than the new comer.

Must be so proud. Too bad you won't have close to 70% market share this generation because MS and Nintendo are eating Sony's lunch.

MS will end this generation with a nice chunk of new market share. That was their goal and they got it to the dismay of the Sony fans posting fanboy garbage in this gamer zone forum.

THE FAVORED PLATFORM FINALLY WINNING AFTER OVER A YEAR! STOP THE PRESSES ALL THE SONY FANS CELEBRATE! WOOOHOOO IT ONLY TOOK 16 MONTHS! YAAAAY!

you jus made me laugh jack lad. you kno precisely JACK SH#T. Do you think the ps3 as jus started to lead the xbox in sales?? do you pnly see sony fanboys on here??? theres one thing thats worse than a fanboy and thats a blind fanboy like you. xbox fanboys are jus as bad as sony fanboys but xbox fanboys have nothin on the ps3 at the moment so thats why they aint about so much. 2006 and 2007 the xbox fanboys ran wild. its only fair that ps3 fanboys have there time now. dont expect it to die down soon jack lad. the xbox fanboys deserve everything they get.

While I'll agree with that fanboys are bad on either side you don't do much to prove you aren't one of them calling people names.

I get on here and see Sony fans celebrating a empty win and point it out and now i'm the fanboy?

Try to put things into perceptive. Sony was supposed to win. It shouldn't have taken them over a year to do so. Stop celebrating like you did something. You did nothing.

And by the way just because Xbox fans "went wild" last year doesn't mean Sony fans have free license to act like morons this year. Two wrongs don't make a right.

3.8 - what the hell @Jack Meahoffer
sony came back from the dead to kick microsoft in the nuts.

fanboys aren't celebrating because sony won, but because it brings an to loads of xbox fans to shame that slaughtered sony in the beginning and the naysayers.

and Have you ever thought that SONY doesn't care about getting the shares, it's microsoft that cares.

Sony wants to make a good system with good games, that will last for some while since technology is progressing so fast. Tmr you might have games that run on quad-core computers only.

im jus sayin how you came across jack. what you jus said was utter bs. you sound like youre bitter about it. have you seen the sale totals lately? sony are a million and a half infront in japan, 1 million behind europe. this is being launched over a year later than the 360. all sony have to work on is america. and theyve been leadin the xbox in the last few months and probo this month too. this is major if you like it or not. this is why i called you blind. then you make remarks about sony fanboys as if xbox fanboys dont exsist. which makes me think that youre so blind you are blinder than stevie wonder, with 2 pirate patchs on sat in a dark room at night with no moon in the sky. i admit i favour sony more than ms but at least i can stand back and see the situation better.

EDIT: btw i dont think this should of been approved. its basically last week vgcharts posted with a different headline.

"If they did, they wouldnt have gotten a 360."

Hi, 360 owner here. Still consider it a perfectly logical decision. In fact, it brought me back into console gaming after a few year break.

Thanks for your Open Zone-worthy comment, though. Always glad to see that the rules of N4G can't keep a good console war down.

So much for GT5:P not being an actual game, and so much for that 360 price cut. Those numbers are pretty impressive.

That's because you can pick up a ps2 with a game bundle for as low as £55 in some places... that's only a little more than 1 game for PS3!

A price would ensure Sony's PS3 to consistently challenge the top spot in hardware and software sales in Europe.

After messing up the first year, Sony has come up really really aggressively and really took everyone by storm. I think the bluray win helped them gain a huge momentum and they are backing that momentum with a stellar lineup for 2008/2009. I guess this may turnout the year where PS3 does narrow xbox360 install base lead.
