Looks like the PS3 beat 360 for x-mas this year.
Too bad that in NA the sales still lag.

4 comments and no 360 fanboy yet saying "well the 360 is kicking the PS3's ass in the US and the rest of the world does not matter".

This is true but with the Ps3 selling 200k globally more the 360 must be getting a pounding elsewhere. Need to also remember alot of the elite sales were upgrades not new customers.

Whats amazing is that people can think Sony is in trouble while they're selling more than 6 million consoles in a month.

these are indeed good sales for the ps3, but anzway i don,t trust very much VG charts, they are very inaccurate, but i do believe that the ps3 outsold the 360, this is the actual trend, more people start to realize the power and potential of the ps3 and also the games are already here with a soon releasing of the biggest franchises of gaming that everyone is waiting. I,m from Europe,Italy and i was one of the last one to buy in November the 60GB ps3 with the 2 controllers and 2 games (Motorstorm and Resistance) for only 499, it was a real deal, and i also wanted the retro compatibility because i,m still playing many ps2 games like God of War II and FF XII. And i am now really enjoing my ps3 because i like all the stuff it can do, i can watch movies, divx from my 500gb HD where all my movies and anime shows are, also i can listen the music, see photo (i love the way it can visualize them) watch blu ray with my new shining hd tv and can surf the net also, all this stuff and not only with one wonderful machine...but the main reason that made me buy it was the games despite many of the xbox fans here are saying. i know that this 2008 year games that i love will came like DMC 4 (i own the entire saga on ps2) MGS 4 (still have to play the previous one but i really like the story despite stealth is not my genre) FF XIII (love the saga, played every chapter from the 7 to 12) also i put great hopes in little big planet and white night story ( i like rpgs). From my point of view next year will be a wonderful year for ps3 and we already see the trend of it gaining more and more sales, but this don,t mean doom and groom for the 360, i personally would like to play Ninja Gaiden 2 and Lost Odissey (i like also action titles like DMC and especially GOW) but i think that the biggest games of the 360 are already there, and the next year they will finally have the real competition whith games and franchises that the 360 can,t match for now.

Looks like the bulk of the PS3 sales are also from the U.S.A. As much as People hate on the U.S.A. you have to give us credit for not being bias snobs and buying all the consoles.

All three have the largest install base in the U.S.A. I wonder if the Software sales for the PS3 will ever catch up to the 360.

Who didn't expect this? I congratulate Kaz and crew for making the decision to drastically lower the cost of a PS3 and introducing the 40 GB model. The negative press of no PS2 software compatability is no longer the topic of interest. Focus is quite simple in 08. Continue to cut costs of the PS3. I'd imagine seeing the costs further reduced to 349.99 for the 40 GB model and 449.99 for the 80 GB model. I just can't see another 100.00 price cut unless MS cuts the price by 100.00.

Software was the focus of the TGS 2007 show (Kaz gave the presentation). Again, software is a focus at E3 2007 and going into the GDC 2008. Metal Gear Solid 4, although not mainstream will attract the hardcore gamers. LittleBigPlanet has a casual feel and if marketed well, I think will be huge commercial success. Killzone 2 is the epitome of hardcore software and is Sony's big budget Halo. It might not sell has much as Halo 3 but it will leave a nice dent. Of course it all depends on the marketing. Heck, I'd be showing teaser trailers now on TV if I were Sony.

PS3 failing? Since when?

lol as soon as there is valid, unbiased proof that the ps3 is doing better the 360 fanboys don't post anything because they have no arguments to counter it but as soon as rumors and wild claims start cropping up they start getting all horny and aggressive

its clearly all(most/majority) of the sonykids who hated vg chartz, ironicly even some of the same ones on this very news post who used to be so critical of vg chartz, some even said "why do people post vg chartz as news on n4g?" ha ha but I bet you can't find a post from me hating on vg chartz, I just say what I've always said even when they are good 360 #'s, I said vg chartz is not 100% accurate but they do give a general idea about who came out on top, only occasionaly have they been totaly wrong, same for this news, so with this difference of 187k worldwide for the month of Dec. it remains to be seen how accurate it is simply because last month when after the NPD #'s for America/November were released on Dec 13th it showed 360 had actually outsold the ps3 worldwide slightly in Nov, so we'll see if the same happens again, but either way lets say vg is accurate this month and ps3 did win by 187k, at that rate you're looking at a few yrs before ps3 catches up, I'm not sure the exact number and I dont feel like finding it again but I think ps3 needs to outdo the 360 sales by about 650k a month to catch up by 2009, hmmm, so I think micro looks fine even without dropping the price again like sony.

actually all the consoles are doing well sales wise,and 200,000 more consoles sold than the 360 is not that much..it would take the ps3 around 3 years to catch up with the 360..the price cut of the ps3 did help but you really have to look at the ps3 sales over the next few months to really gauge if its gathering momentum. and vg charts are not that accurate anyway,and why you all getting excited because the ps3 is selling more than the 360? i have a wii,ps3 and 360 and i would not care less who sells more.you do know that games dont get any better or worse just because a console sells more than its rivals..i am happy with all my consoles but i do play on my 360 the most.thats mainly because i have more games to play on my 360 like pgr4,forza2,halo3,mass effect etc.cant wait for gran turismo and killzone2 to come out so i will play my ps3 more..all the consoles have/gonna have top quality games so why act like children saying my console is selling more than yours.good games make the console worth having,not bigger sales figures

These figures, even if they are a bit inaccurate, are pretty interesting.

Forgetting the fanboy wars for a moment... Lets say VGChartz got it wrong (again) and the 360 actually outsold the PS3 by 180k or whatever... that's still a hugely impressive performance by the PS3!

It was generally accepted (by most non-biased gamers) that the 360 had a phenomenal line-up for this holiday period which blew the Ps3 out of the water. So if these figures are accurate and the PS3 has indeed outsold the 360, Sony should be very happy and MS can only scratch it's head and wonder what it needs to do to remain on top.

It will be interesting to see if Nintendo can maintain their forward momentum. I've actually been disappointed by Nintendo for the first time ever. The Wii just lacks good games, and while I'm glad Nintendo have climbed back to the top, I can't help but hope that MS or Sony manage to give them a good kick up the backside. - At the moment Ninty may as well be selling empty boxes, as my Wii has been gathering dust for months.

I'm also intruiged by what has caused the PS3 to sell so well. Is it only the Sony/PlayStation brand strength and the price cut? It appears that both Ratchet and Uncharted sold poorly, as did UT3, and most multiformat titles looked/ran better on 360 - so what was driving the sales?

Maybe the 360 peaked too early (with Halo 3 out last Sept and BioShock getting an early release); or maybe 360 sales have hit the wall. Has the RRoD issues finally started to really bite MS I wonder. Perhaps if that is the case then the PS3 figures aren't that great, but the 360 should have been higher but failed beacuse of the reasons I mentioned... After all, the PS3 only sold half the units compared to the Wii.
