Enjoy...... *waves*

[Infolite8907]

yea i agree with you abot the price drop thought with that MGS4 bundle comin out in june for $500 the 80GB N 40GB shud get like a 50-100 dollar price drop.

[Hydrollex]

Umm Honestly PS3 doesn't have VERYYYYY VERYYYYYY good games right now and it's selling Great ! ( Except some old games like Uncharted, COD4, Resistance and .. )

Imagine when these games hit the stores what PS3 sells are gonna be

GTA IV
MGS4
Home
Killzone 2
Resistance 2
GT5
The Getaway
Eight Days
..... There are tons of them

EDIT: Oh Actually MGS4 comes in a bundle which is gonna be a badass. MGS4 + DualShock 3 = OMGGGGGGG PS3

[Cartesian3D]

the number of PS3 exclusive megahit titles will increase exponentionaly ..

and in March 2009 with GOW3 , there will be no Console in History with that enormous line-up of games in every genre..

and about your list of games.. there isnt any member on this site who can name all of the PS3 exclusives in 2008,2009 .. :P so dont waste your energy , its a long list

[Jeanne]

"PS3 doing good !"

PS3 --> 179,416
360 --> 152,619

The real worldwide numbers are most likely

PS3 --> 200,000
360 --> 130,000

After getting caught with their January sales number lies, vgchartz essentially dug their heels in and are now claiming their 'numbers' are more 'accurate' than NPD.

Vgchartz has pretty much become just a site you go to lie to yourself that the 360 and PS3 are in some sort of neck and neck race worldwide.

[kevoncox]

Sony needs another price cut this summer.
The lineup for 2008 looks stong but many of those games will fall to 09. I think the only system move for the ps3 this year is GT5. MGS4 will be amazing but it's not a system mover. MG5 however, will move units.

Sony needs 1 more price drop to have the
80 @ 399 and the
40 @ 299.99

That will force MS to cut their prices and stop eating like a fat pig on an overpriced consoles that should have had a price cut last year.
Sony is sellign at a lost and MS is selling at a gain.

[Jeanne]

"20K units aren't going to get it done."

LOL! He's trying to pretend the vgchartz fantasyland numbers are real...

[killer_trap]

from all the games you mentioned above only metal gear is a system seller in japan. and it's not that big of a system seller. the ps3 sales are really hurting now and it's 15,000 or less in the last couple of weeks. the fact that the ps3 isn't doing so well has hurt the whole of the Japanese 3rd party development community as their games don't sell to well on the wii.

and as much as i like western developed games i think the really exceptional ones come from japan most of the time. I'm just hoping it won't be too late to set things straight by the time the new final fantasy game is released.

if only the ps3 had some of the games released on the 360 in japan then it have been in a better position right now. i think good old Phil had a good reason to criticize the way sony japan has been doing business. i just hope things get better soon cause blu-ray winning didn't do anything in japan.

[Jeanne]

Vgchartz numbers use to be off by about +500k for the 360 and -500k for the PS3 a couple months ago. Nowhere near the +2 million for the 360 they were a year ago.

They've been repeatedly caught posting false European sales numbers as more and more people from Europe get and post reliable sales numbers from the two or three major retail trackers over there. The Others category use to be the main tool vgchartz used to inflate 360 sales since European sales use to be a total unknown to most gamers. People are now on to that BS and are actively calling them out on their lies.

That is why vgchartz has been forced to give up posting their usually somewhat accurate US sales data and go with the BS about "our 'tracking' is more reliable than NPD' since it is the only way they are keeping the 360 within a reasonable distance of the PS3.

360 worldwide sales are around 17 million.
PS3 worldwide sales are around a little over 11 million.

The PS3 will pass by the 360 in worldwide installed base sometime in December 2008 most likely.

[moparful99]

Kevon what are you talking about? MGS4 isnt a system mover? MGS4 is the ps3 most anticipated title since the system launched... Add to this that sony is bundling it with the 80gig and a dualshock and you'll see alot of mgs4's and ps3 being sold together....

[season007]

hmm 35 months...but i honestly think it is going to overtake xbox360 before end of this year

maybe i am crazy but i think around 50k/week in low season means A LOT...

[callahan09]

This is actually a reply to 2.2:

How could VGChartz possibly get away with claiming more accuracy than NPD? For god's sake, does anybody even know who VGChartz are? Who represents them, who compiles the data? Does anybody know how or where they get the data? If I'm not out of some mysterious loop, nobody has a damn clue. To me, they have about as much credible at this kind of thing as my cat.

[BrotherNick]

If it becomes 300 for a ps3 I'm sold. :D

[DarkSniper]

The month of February once again shows PLAYSTATION® 3 outselling XBOX 360 on a consitent basis during this week. Overall, Microsoft's console is spearheading itself into the bottomless pit of garbage home interactive gaming. Better known as "Waitbox" 360. Microslaves are frustrated at waiting for their console to arrive in the mail as they come to the realization that they could be enjoying what is the supreme interactive platform which is PLAYSTATION® 3.

Dark Sniper can only imagine that if PS3 is outselling XBOX 360 on a worldwide basis now, then the 1-2 punch of Metal Gear Solid and Grand Theft Auto will serve as a demolishing blow to the image and reputation of Microslaves worldwide as they take personal offense to waiting for their console to arrive in the mail while Sony Snipers continue to Play B3yond.

Waitbox 360
Hold on, wait a second...............Jump In

$niper

[tidus007]

x360 sold 100,000 units in USA last week????????????

even M$ themselves wont believe that especially after Blu Ray's triump.

PS3 sales dropped from last week???

We should just stop with these VGCRAP numbers. theres no way x360 sold that much

The original sales figures could be

PS3 --200000
xBUG- 120000

I will wait for NPD number which would obviously prove VGCRAP numbers to be false.

expect PS3 to be around 320000 units on NPD and x360 around 150000/160000.

Hopefully thise month's NPD ends VG threads permanently at N4G

[Mr Playboy]

Agent 007 tidus is back LoL

[Kain81]

its only an indicator nothing more. I would say that PS3 sold more than what they show us.
I would wait for NPD-data

[fenderputty]

understand that NPD only does North America. VG isn't all that accurate but, it's a close enough guess.

[actas123]

I always doubted Vchart numbers and thought they are off. But these numbers indicate that vcharts are completely wrong. I think they recently replaced the guy that does the stats with a real monkey. C'mon Vcharts, those numbers are NOT logical at all. The PS3 numbers are way understated and the 360 numbers are inflated. I think NPD figures will prove my point here, at least for NA.

[gambare]

unless it favors the 360 right?

[Kain81]

i say this cause i think that sony sold more than that what VGcharts told us

[7h3ultim8p00]

Gambare he was doubting VGcharts because he thinks they downplay SONY numbers. In other words, HE IS ON YOUR SIDE.

[Hydrollex]

Seriously people, What Xbox 360 has that the PS3 doesn't have ? PS3 has more goods than Xbox 360 except the games are not enough

and as you know from Summer 2008, PS3 is gonna start to getting the most beautiful games.

Home is another thing that will be a system seller.

[Lets-Game]

I dont think VGchartz are reliable enough to make any conclusions.
waiting for NPD? :)

[name]

The DS and wii must come free when you buy a carton of milk or something.

[MikeD159]

lol

[LightningPS3]

cause it sold a lot more this week in the US, than it did last week and week before.

[vloeistof]

this without ff xiii

[Mr Playboy]

This with blu-ray movies

[gambare]

This without Home, GTA4, GT5, MGS4, MGS4 SKU, Haze, PSN update, Bluray 2.0, KZ2, GoW3, FFXIII and etc.

[Kaz Hirai]

You see, PIGS? Us here at Sony HQ do not blame our setbacks on "console shortages", unlike those RAT COWARDS at Nazisoft! We have a little something called HONOUR which I wouldn't expect you to understand!
Now, you SWINE can get back to rolling around in your own EXCREMENT!

MWAH-HA-HA-HA!!!

[Lets-Game]

they do advertise wii/ds a lot tbh. never seen xbox or ps3 commercials.
guess advertising works :) but I wonder how much they payed Nikole Kidman(or whatever her name is)

[crck]

Thats pretty amazing that the PSP slim smoked both the Wii and DS Lite. Too bad it doesn't seem to be doing too well in the US and Europe in comparison.

[Hydrollex]

LOL man look at us, we all have good opinions but we only have 2 or 3 bubbles. There are some other ones that have 1 bubble.

This guy --> Power of Green has like 4 bubbles and all his comments are BS.

[texism]

People like POG have their bubbles because they say a lot of nonsense, and so they are easy to bash. However, people who try to make intelligent posts loose bubbles because fanboys just can't take the fact people have different opinions.

[The gaming GOD]

The person that makes random accounts just to retaliate(texism) has nerve to talk of intellect considering you have to be no more than 12 years of age.

Texism got mad cus I called him a f a g-o tron (which he is)

Not only are you a f a g-otron tex, but you're a three bubble f a g-o-tron. That's like having three nuts. WTF is wrong with you dude? LMAO

You know you wanna respond texism. For that's what f a g-o-tron's do

[Harry190]

made a pact with satan to help
boost 360 sales.he had to trade his
sanity(not intelligence,because he
actually doesn't have any),thus explaining his delusion.
but even that won't help.
he is an embarassment for his own camp dammit.

[LaChance]

the 360 outsild the ps3 in the USA.
So were the shortages story true ? So MSFT were actually saying the truth.
That is if VGCHARTS is accurate this time.Anyways better wait for npd.
But if it did outsell the ps3 in the USA then ALOT of ps3 fanboys are going to look DAMN stupid.
They were the ones ready to put their lives on the line saying the "shortage" was all made up and how they swear that the 360 would NEVER outsell the 360 again in any part of the world.
I told you guys to shut up and wait a month or two to see if they were lying.Thats what I would have done.

[Mr Playboy]

you got 5 Disagrees for nothing LoL

[heyheyhey]

of course the 360 will never outsell the 360 lol, it will always be the same

p.s i know it was a typo, but screw it- im in a picky mood

[ruibing]

Always pointing to the US. Just be happy about the headstart the 360 had by ditching the Xbox early, it gave it a nice selection of exclusives at a price. But now its the PS3's turn to have the better lineup.

If you just look at the hardware launch chart, you see how the curve is now dramatically in favor of the PS3 despite a poor launch.

[jke82]

north america (which is all npd covers) is not the only place in the world they sell consoles.....I KNOW I KNOW i thought it was crazy too when i first heard there are places other than north america..why theres all of this continent called europe... and asia (cant forget about them eh?) so many other places the 360 is getting sh!t stomped and before you bring up the well the 3fixme is still ahead dont forget to calculate in that year head start and then see where the 3sh!tty is standing....

[texism]

Lol you got 14 disagrees. Lol @ sony fanboys man. Just wow. Aren't you guys even ashamed? Lol

EDIT: Lol, Mr.Playboy got 5 disagrees for pointing out that LaChance got a bunch of disagrees. What is that? What are you even disagreeing to? Lol fanboys are so stupid.

[Kain81]

before the holydays, i will buy my second PS3^^

[Ricegum]

That MGS bundle is going to sell BIG TIME...

[Bathyj]

Ummm, did anyone else notice, with just over half the userbase, PS3 actually sold more SOFTWARE the Xbox. Thats right, more people buy games for a movie player than for the "hardcore" video games console thats only about the games.

I'm starting to believe not everything the Xpeople have told me about PS3 has been the complete and honest truth.

Hang on, I need to double check this before I hit ADD COMMENT. Yup, still the same.

[titntin]

Yes mate - I've been saying it for ages. The weekly attach rate for PS3 has been higher than the other machines for over 3 months now, and its getting plainer and plainer to see.

I'm not making any kind of fanboy statement, I own all the machines and I'm happy for all of them to succeed, but the myth purported by 360 fanboys that no PS£ owner buys software is obviously and demonstrably wrong.Each and every week, the average PS3 owner buys more games for his system than any other system owner - thats provable fact!

[7h3ultim8p00]

Software Sales
360: 1,372,779
PS3: 793,095

I am so confused. Are there two charts or something?

[2 cents]

I don`t love the ps3. I like it like o like most of the stuff that i own. But i truly genuinely hate my x360, and MS, and i wish them death, for being so unreliable with both software and hardware nowadays. Die MS, DIE!

[Ricegum]

@ Dweg

Sony will have caught up by the end of the year...not Wii though

[Bzone24]

Not by beating the 360 by 20,000 a week. It'll take 5-6 years at around that rate.

[Kain81]

arent out yet. And if this games will released i would say we will see a
realy Boost in sales for The PS3.

[ikiru3385]

so much for ps3 being only a "movie-player." software numbers for ps3 actually higher than 360.

[heyheyhey]

of course

that stuff is in a past

the sales/install base ratio is almost always higher for the PS3 for most modern games like DMC4, BO:P, Turok etc etc

people who say otherwise are ignorant and avoid the facts- because they hurt i presume

[Bzone24]

How do you get that?
Software
XBOX 360 - 1,314,243
ps3 - 749,665

[texism]

No no no ikiru. 1,314,243 has seven numbers in it. 749,665 only has six. That means 1,314,243 is bigger. So, 360 actually sold more. Do you understand? lol

EDIT: I don't believe this. Ikiru actually got 7 agrees! I refuse to believe that Sony fanboys are that stupid lol.

[PopEmUp]

a platform that release a year early into the market, and have almost double the install base then the competitor and Selling the softwares almost at close to the competitor, than we all should notice and consider that the platform that come a year early is doing quite poorly isn't it?

[Bzone24]

Just do the math on the software. Just divide the total software sold this week for each by the total lifetime consoles sold. You will see that they are pretty much selling at the same attach rate with a slight edge to the 360.

Next time please do the math before commenting.

[ikiru3385]

an honest mistake texism. i was looking at the wrong numbers.

[TitanUp]

npd doesn't cover the whole world remember people united states is just one country not the world.

i might be mistaken but think vgchartz is the only thing we have overseas but im not completely sure vgchartz and npd is all i know about.

[7h3ultim8p00]

yeah npd is where it's at.

[heyheyhey]

jeez

am i like the only person who doesn't have a DS lol?

anyway the PS3 is outselling the 360 in both software and hardware, so basically no suprises there, it's all PS3 from hereon in lads

the PS2 is still selling extremely well, looks like lots of new people are discovering gaming

[Bzone24]

Am I looking at the wrong charts? Where do you see ps3 outselling the 360 in software?

[7h3ultim8p00]

Same here Bzone. Same here. PS3 fanboys must have some sort of superior comparative skills or something.

[PopEmUp]

look at the install base and then talk who is bad and who is good

[7h3ultim8p00]

What happened to that magical massive PS2 fanbase that was going to flock to the PS3? stfu please.

[White-Sharingan]

Very Interesting

DMC4 for PS3 will be a million seller soon
-Lost the video game for PS3 outsold the 360 version? Oo
--COD4 for PS3 outsold 360 version again
---UT3 for PS3 hast hit 300k, which isnt bad, how much has the PC version sold?
---Lost Odyssey has almost sold 300k, very interesting...this game was surely made for the western country
----Pokemon DS is still there? O= sweet!
------Even uncharted outsold COD4 360 version
----Ass Creed for Ps3 outsold 360 again
----Turok for PS3 outsold 360? O=
---No PS2 titles there
-Only one PSP title there

Nintendo dominates Software sales
Sony and Nintendo are pretty on par on hardware sales (yes yes, 3 consoles vs 2, waaa waa)with nintendo dominating.

[whoelse]

Another good week for the PS3!

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

Some of you are saying PS3 sales currently are lackluster, what would that make 360 sales then? Keep in mind not one heavy hitter has came out yet.

[Dweg]

All you sony fanbois are suddenly so eager to trust VCCharts about the Hardware sales.... I just thought I'd point something out.

360 OUTSOLD Ps3 for 2007 but ~500,000 units.

http://vgchartz.com/hwtable...

[LightningPS3]

but...

VG chartz also says 360 has a overall lead 6.75 million.

Is that right? (do the math)

Considering 360 launched a whole year first. That's nothing.

So if 360 sold more than PS3 last year, how the F*ck is PS3 catchin up? Did the PS3 do it's good selling in 2006?

I have no idea how VG chartz works.

[Kain81]

after sony releases his 3.quater sales (Official)
and the ps3 outsold the 360

[DJ]

Sony reported they sold 8.5 million units in 2007. It really is that simple.

[etownone]

nice one.

[Spike47]

a system seller? MGS4?
dWEG ACTUALLY "ps3 fanboys" are saying tah they don't trust vg charts and the difference in sales is even greater. What now that NPD shows that the ps3 is selling more by a bigger difference now NPD are the ones that you can't trust.
Are you out of your mind? If mGS4 does'nt sell consoles than no ps3 game sells consoles.

MGS4 moves systems and not only in America but also in japan.

And I know Haze is'nt s system seller but it will add something atleast.

The ps3 is outselling the xbox360 by more than 20k worldwide and none of it's killer apps have been released yet.

And tell me which game is gonna give the xbox360 a boost in 2008?

a bunch of dlc content?

the ps3 sold more than the 360 in 2007 even when the xbox360 had halo3, I don't think SOME EXTRA EXCLUSIVE DLC CONTENT IS GONNA HELP

And u forgot that littlebigplanet is also coming out around september this year and it has a bunch of potential.

"all ps3 games being pushed to 09"? WOW

[kingOVsticks]

and you forgot home,tekken 6,soul caliber 4 darthvader(it matters to SW nerds),resistance 2,GT5p bundle,killzone 2, there are so many games i prolly forgot something to 0.o

[Alcaponeyou]

SPIN SPIN SPIN SPIN
xbotsplzfixme got dominated gg

[BattleAxe]

The best is yet to come for the PS3. But what I can't belive is how many Nintendo units are being sold.........Its crazy, I mean who would of thought that a game console with Mario games as its main franchise would sell so well.

[wiizy]

good to see the wii on top as usual... with production going up there should be no stoppage

[tweaker]

what happened to the huge install base of the 360? The PS3 is selling more software. Maybe because 33%+ of that install base is suffering from RROD.

RROD a thing of the past? lol

[Danja]

LOL.....RROD will never be a thing of the past not as long as M$ keeps making 360's......

I thought PS3 owners didn't play games what's happening here..? 0_o , isn't it just a BR player....lets see what the xbots are gonna say now...

[7h3ultim8p00]

No it isn't. You are just not reading the right chart lol.

Software Sales
360: 1,372,779
PS3: 793,095

There you go.

[etownone]

If its true there is a price cut coming to the 360 that will make the arcade cheaper than the Wii, I wonder how sales will be then?

I mean, you compare the Wii to the Arcade 360, with the arcade being cheaper.... maybe its just me, but the Arcade at a $199 price will bring on the MASS MARKET and take away some consumers that were planning on buying a Wii.

[kingOVsticks]

honestly they should just drop the arcade sku completely if they only have the premium and the elite then you would have more developers making games for the 360 without worry of it having a hardrive or not like burnout,gta,crysis, etc But i am pretty sure they will drop the premium and elite near the release day of GTA4

[jappa]

360 is over 18million, ps3 is 11million, ther is long way yet. I HAVE ALL CONSOLS but i most play 360, I see ps3 fan fan talking toooo much . ps3 will pass 360 and it will dominat 2008. the dreams never come tru. like when ps3 was showen the first time

[Harry190]

explain what ''showen'' means?
spell check.

[Spike47]

see ps3 fans are happy to see their system doing good, then the other fanboys come to bash the ps3.

I think the ps3 will definetly dominate in 2008 but won't really take the overall lead and catch up with lifetime sales of the xbox360 until 2009.

it's a marathon not a race, and Sony is well prepared for it, no need to rush.

ETOWnone the wii is casual, it's aimed at casual gamers, the xbox360 is different, there will be alot of sales for the xbox360 if the price goes down though.

[Shaka2K6]

The epic batttle between the PS2 and the xbug 1.5 continues lol.

[1-800-4MY-XBOX]

1-800-4MY-XBOX for all your coffin needs.

[Blank1017]

Just wait till SSBB comes out...

[xg-ei8ht]

THat was the only thing sony did wrong. Ram/

They could have added some cheapa$$ ram for the O/S,etc, and left the 512mb for gaming.

Either way, its a fine fine machine.
