1 - I invite discussion to my comment below:

Is the PS3 destined to remain third?
360 to ps3 sales gap is 45000 this week

Good job ps3. (or is it?)

Outselling the 360 worldwide is something that SONY really needs right now.
If I am not mistaken, the ps3 has been outselling the 360 in the steady average range of 25-45k per week for most of 2008 now.

However, despite all SDF fantasy, the trend has NOT accelerated in the last 6 months, nor has the 360 slowed significantly.
Please check the numbers.

The PS3 is catching the 360 - there is no doubt - BUT will it be enough?

Sales gap is now 20mill-14mill= 6 mill.

at 30-45000 units per week extra, it will take the ps3 until AT LEAST
July 2011 to catch up..
Too little too late?
What do you think?
(Don't forget these figures are now also post MGS4.)

The imminent 360 price drop will not likely help the ps3 situation either.

1.1 - Ok....

First it is VGcharts not most reliable but with that out of the way........
It seems that the Ps3 is catching but not at an alarming speed. I strongly believe by mid 2009 to early 2010 it will be small margin between Ps3 and 360. It is a strange thing when you talk about sales per week. some weeks they are higher than average and there is no reason why. Sales will most likely stay like this for ever now. Ps3 2nd and 360 last. Once sony drops ps2 support it will change alot. Ps3 sales will pick up and Japan may begin purchase when price drops. No-one can predict the futute in sales but it definitely better than last year!

1.2 - So you posted the same comment in both zones?

Weird... But yeah, I helped Sony this week by trading in my Wii for a PS3(Metal Gear Solid 4 bundle). They sold more than 360s yet again...

But 360 sold more hardware, which is where the money is made. I think they lose money on the consoles themselves and gain money on the games. Sony need more games like MGS4(amazing game) to increase software sales as well as hardware.

It's funny how I don't even include the Wii. I just don't think of it as a real gaming system anymore. I used to be a huge Nintendo fanboy, but they really let me down with the Wii.

1.3 - There's two things wrong with your comparison.

1). You're relying on VG Chartz.

2). You're comparing Microsoft's "Shipment" figures to Sony's "Sold to Customer" figures. And console makers like to keep a 1~1.5 million hardware buffer in the event of a sales spike, like what we see during the Holidays or a big game launch.

1. The gap has supposedly been at 5-6 million for months now, despite the PS3 outselling the 360 everywhere all year.
2. Check the numbers for when a big exclusive comes out.
3. Check the numbers from Nov-Dec every year.
4. Compare year to year, not month to month

It's VGchartz and it's wrong. Microsoft's Greenberg already stated back in MAY that the difference was at 5 million consoles.
Greeneberg: "Today Xbox 360 has a 5-million-unit console sales lead on a global basis based on most recently public reported data from both companies." And the source:
http://www.destructoid.com/...
Since then PS3 continues to outsell X360 worldwide (even in the US) so the difference is less then five million right now, and with the NPD numbers out for June where x360 is down 200K only in the US, then probably is around or even under 4 million right now.

1.8 -

If you want to take these figures as your base, PS3 sold 50% more than 360 for this month, and that is a significant percentage.

MS announced at E3 that the hardware lead the 360 enjoys is about 5 million machines, so we'll use that figure since its direct from MS themselves.

Simply extrapolating this extra sales figure would mean the PS3 only sells about 1.3 million units more till the end of the year.

BUT, this figure is from a relatively quite week traditionally in terms of hardware units to be sold. If the percentage difference is maintained through the weeks of heavy machine slaes and major new games, we can assume the PS3 will sell at leat 2.5 million units more tthorugh till december, cutting the install base advantage down to 2.5 million.

Its already established despite the bickering over figures that if PS3 doesn't already have a signifiucant advantage in Europe, then it soon will. No one can dispute that. We all know the situation in Japan where the 360 remains a dead machine. The US is the great territiry for the machine where it still enjoys a significat install base advantage, but its surely becoming clear to even the most die hard fans that this will change and I'd expect the PS3 to surpass 360 install base worldwide sometime around now next year.

I like how people only use math to caculate the numbers because it just shows how dumb they are.

Just going by the trend the 360 had a 10 million unit lead and now it's down to 5 million. The gap is closing the PS3 is not at its prime yet and the 360 has already been at its prime is starting to decline after this year. There is no question that the PS3 will have the lead by 2009.

^yup

I think people on here tend to mistake weeks for months. Theres a little over 4 weeks in a month, so if a console outsells another about 40K to 60K 4 times a month thats around 200,000 each month on average. But then you gotta calculate the big releases such MGS which sold out all the bundles in a lot of places. By the end of the year one system outsold another by 2,400,000 (if they do it every month like the ps3 so far) just looking at the average and not including big releases.

7 - Use your head karlostomy!!!

Now, I'm not going to get into an argument about the reliability of vgchartz compared to NPD, but I just want to leave everyone with this thought. Vgchartz has Sony outselling Microsoft by roughly 50,000 units for North America in 2008, while NPD has Sony outselling Microsoft by about 267,000 units in North America. I'm not here to debate which set of numbers are more accurate, but I just thought I would share that with everyone =)

Also, what kind of crackpot mathematics are you using Karlos? Even going by Vgchartz world wide numbers for 2008 Sony has managed to close the gap from 6.9 million units, to 5.5. This indicates that the Playstation 3 has outsold the 360 by more than 1.4 million units for the first six months of 2008.

Now, I realize that this year is far from over, but when taking into account that at this exact same time last year the Playstation had outsold the 360 by 200,000 units world wide, you have to admit that is a huge increase year over year for Sony. However, this year will truly be decided by what happing in its last 3 months sales wise so unless Microsoft can make up a growing sales deficit for the year of 2008 they will be outsold this year by Sony.

Yes, it is a huge increase over same time last year, but if you read my comment carefully you will note that I said in the last *6 months*.

Fact is, in the last 6 months the trend for ps3 has NOT accelerated or increased exponentially like so many people want to believe.
Just check the numbers again dude.

the sales gap is probably closer to 6 million, not 5.5 million.
the average sales gap is 25-45000 per week.
Do the maths again.

Nintendo has find the good "quatuor" : Wii fit, Mario Kart wii, SSBB, and wii play, this games sell the same amount every weeks again and again. This games are console's sellers.
Good things MSG4 sells more than 2 millions but with the probably high cost for producing the game, there is good chance we will see it coming on the xbox360. And more it will be stupid for konami not putting it.
Even if this chart are estimation, it shows a trend that wii sell a lot of games, at least more than the others two and without big game coming out.

I can't believe people are so stupid, to the guy with the 1st comment.

November and December sales always account for more than half of the hardware sales for that year.

It was a 10 million lead before, now it's a 5 million lead. By 2009 PS3 will be ahead easily.

I don't see why it ever has to be ahead, the fact is it launched a whole year later, if you reset sales of xbox to zero when the PS3 launched than the PS3 has already outsold it.

I just don't see why everyone thinks that just cause it hasn't made up a 7million unit head start, that its somehow a failure. Use some common sense.

Bottom line, none of the consoles are going anywhere, even if or when Sony passes MS, its not going to change anything. MS will still make the next xbox and sony will still make the PS4, just enjoy whatever system or systems you like.

15 - I want to know this

I own all three systems and to me I do not care which console is in first, second or third place. Will it make a difference if Sony does overtake 360 for second place... No. The reason for this is third party games will just about release on every system. To all that think the one year headstart 360 had was for nothing, you my friend are wrong. What that one year head start did was get the system into over 10 million homes. I can see if the system did not sell well then it would be for nothing. All I have to say is I am looking forward to KZ2, R2, GeOW2, Fable 2 and any other "GAMES" that out for "BOTH" consoles.

People Play games not systems.

1 - Is the PS3 destined to remain third until 2012?

360 to ps3 sales gap is 45000 this week.

Good job ps3. (or is it?)

Outselling the 360 worldwide is something that SONY really needs right now.
If I am not mistaken, the ps3 has been outselling the 360 in the steady average range of 25-45k per week for most of 2008 now.

However, despite all SDF fantasy, the trend has NOT accelerated in the last 6 months, nor has the 360 slowed significantly.
Please check the numbers.

The PS3 is catching the 360 - there is no doubt - BUT will it be enough?

Sales gap is now 20mill-14mill= 6 mill.

at 30-45000 units per week extra, it will take the ps3 until AT LEAST
July 2011 to catch up..
Too little too late?
What do you think?
(Don't forget these figures are now also post MGS4.)

The imminent 360 price drop will not likely help the ps3 situation either.

Sony only released one of it's AAA titles so far.
there's many,many,many more to come.

360 released all of it's

Halo 3
Gears of War
Bioshock
Mass effect

other then gears 2 and fable 2,futures looking bleak for 360.

Wait till R2 comes out,the motor storm 2,then SOCOM,then LBP,Then killzone 2,Then God of War 3,The Gran turismo 5,Then FF Verus,inFAMOUS,Heavy rain,MAG,DC Universe and tons of rumors of other AAA titles in the works.

I belive PS3 will catch up,if not surpass 360 by end of 09.

And for the record,VGchartz numbers are always wrong.
Last time they inflated 360's numbers by 60K
And deducted almost 120K of PS3's sales,according to NPD.

you gotta remember how many consoles mgs4 moved and it wasn't even that big of a game. dont get me wrong, mgs4 is the greatest game i have ever played but in terms of sales its not the most popular franchise and look how many consoles it has moved, over a million and still counting.

now socom on the other hand is a whole new jump. socom is a proven franchise that is over 10 million strong. now if mgs4 managed to move that many (it will probable move close to 2 million over all) then socom will move a whole lot more.

the way your talking i dont think you know a whole lot about sony or the way things work.

and remember... thats just one game. mgs4.

Uhh what? Metal Gear Solid games have pretty much always sold strongly (6 mill for MGS1, 7 for MGS2 and close to 4 mill for MGS3). MGS4 has already sold over 2 mill worldwide. Hell it sold over a mill in NA alone (including bundled units) estimated by NPD. It sold a bit over 600,000 in Jtown and i'm pretty sure it's close to a mill in EU. I think MGS4 when it's said and done will sell more like the original Metal Gear Solid game. It's sold over 2 mill in the first month.

well i didnt say anything about numbers or copys sold. i said its not the most popular game in terms of sales...... is that not true? never said it doesnt sell good.

and i was talking about how many consoles it will move, i am aware of how many copys the previous games have sold. im not talking about that and dint say anything about it. talking about how much hardware it moved.

there is nothing in my statement that isnt true man.

and if your looking at this "(it will probable move close to 2 million over all)" i was talking about hardware.

edit @ dark- well i think socom will move ALOT of hardware cause it is a very popular franchise amongst the online franchises on playstation and that comes out this gen, i dont think it will move enough by itself to catch up to the 360 but it will move alot more than mgs4 did and thats just another big boost ya know. well see though. yea mgs4 moved over 1 million consoles already and still counting. but like i said about socom its a proven franchise that is 10 million strong. mgs4 will move consoles up until sept. and thats enough time to hit the 2 million mark in hardware. iight man be easy, peace and god bless.

Mmmmm i see what you're saying. I'll agree with you saying that it isn't the most popular franchise (that title belongs to Mario or Pokemon probably) but it does sell good and is one of the top selling series. In fact if you compare it's overall series numbers with Halo's numbers you'd be surprise how close they are.

As for it moving hardware to tell the truth i haven't been deep into games long enough to really comment on it. I don't usually follows sales and i just started to (along with my other hobbies). But it did help push 400,000 Ps3's in NA during June more than the usual 130,000ish sales they get each month. But it's not a monumental "Console War swinging" franchise. To tell the truth i don't really think there will be a game like that between the Ps3 and 360 this generation. It'll have to do more with the overall catalog of games between the two and what the consumers interests are.

Edit: In general i think MGS4 might help push somewhere in between additional 500k to 1mill consoles. It has only been out a month, i think it'll be a clearer picture by the time August roles in.

Ehhh, I'm starting to see a massive decline all over the world for the xbox 360. Maybe the price drop has something to do with the lower than normal numbers this week, cause the price drop is coming soon, right?

I think Sony was really pushed a great deal with MGS4 and without that game being strategically placed right now, Sony would be in the $#*T house. I only fear MGS4 will be lost this winter when it matters most. I think it'll sale maybe 200,000 units over Christmas and that's not the numbers it needs to post. Here's to seeing them at 5 million by that time, though!

All in all Sony needs to hit us with some massive stuff to keep this momentum alive. Keep the flame burning bright cause Xbox 360 just got slashed in prioe and next weeks numbers aren't going to be so favorable to the ps3. Take that to the bank!

That is true and i think the price cut should be in effect at select retailers. Though i think a majority of people are waiting for the 60 gig 360 models (more space and probably a better chipset) so that could be a reason of the slow numbers. But i think sales wise the smartest thing for Sony to do this holiday season is to bundle MGS4 or heck even GTA4 with the 80 gig. It'll still cost more than the 360 so they should sweeten the pot to make the 80 gig look more appealing this holiday season.

It took 10 weeks for Gears of War to sell 3 million. MGS4 has already crossed that in 5 weeks. The game will sell 5 - 5.3 million by the end of this year. Lifetime will be over 6 million.

360 needs a miracle. That pricedrop is a clearance sale. After that, the 360 is back at $349. They will get a boost at the holiday but in no way will outsell PS3 or Wii worldwide this holiday any week after!

PS3 will end it's misery by Febuary of next year. :)

5 - @ karlostomy

Imo that logic fails and Ill tell you why. There are sales spikes when games like MGS4 gets released. So that 30k-45k could change to 60-75. Not every game will have the same attachment rate. Some will have more than others. Sales generally tend to fluctuate anyway. They may increase one month, then drop a little the next. Then take into account the new price point for the new 80g @ 399. Theres so many factors to take into consideration before saying it will sell "this amount" all the time.

5.1 - But dude....

That's the whole point of using an average range!

Of course there's going to be spikes and lulls... But the average rate smoothes the data for variance over time.

The average rate is the trend over time

Oh what the heck. No one gets it anyway.
