Michael Pachter: PS3 July sales higher than Xbox 360's |
Listed in: PS3 Tags: Michael Pachter, NPD, Ring of Death, Sony
Ó
Analyst Michael Pachter from Wedbush Morgan Securities has predicted that the PlayStation 3 outsold the Xbox 360 last July. While this can't be confirmed until NPD comes out with the official sales figures, it's worth noting that Pachter had made some pretty accurate predictions before.He believes that 160,000 PlayStation 3s were sold last month compared to the 115,000 Xbox 360s. Pachter credits this surge of sales to two factors: the red ring of death and the price-cuts of the PlayStation 3. While this may be good news for Sony, the analyst also pointed out that the console industry is still being led by Nintendo with the Wii expected to rake in a whopping total of 330,000 consoles sold.
If Pachter's prediction does hold true, can the Sony sustain the momentum they've generated and, if possible, get even closer to the Wii's figures?

Even though I love my xbox 360, i think getting a ps3 console just for MGS4 is worth it.
However, that and GT5 would be like the only games i'd ever consider buying for it, i'm not a fan of other wierd japanaese games.

Download the RFoM demo and tell me that it isnt anywhere near as good as GoW.
I know you are pretty impartial on most 360 vs ps3 subject, but be honest. If you had to choose, which one would you choose?
You know where my opinion stands between my two consoles.

If GT5 is anything like GTHD I would pass. The photos of the game look nice, but when youre actually playing it its a bore. One car races that feel like youre going 15 mph, no damage, and very few driving features (only two camera angles, absolutely nothing compared to the car features on Forza2). I dont see how any ps3 fan could brag about this game.
If I were you, I would just hold out on MGS for a bit and pick up PGR4 to calm your racing spirit.

A couple thousand more a month isnt going to help sony in the long run. Whats worse is that they are only selling a few thousand more a month against a 2 year old console! its pretty pathetic.

You just used the worst logic i've ever seen. "Whats worse is that they are only selling a few thousand more a month against a 2 year old console! its pretty pathetic. "
You sir, are a genius. How about I explain it to you. A 2 year old system has MORE games than a 1 year system. Also, the 360 is still a lot cheaper than PS3 and its getting out sold. I don't care how you look at it, this is not good for the "red rings of death". Of course the 360 price cut is helping it this month but after Christmas, 360 won't have much of a lineup versus the PS3. Back to the original point, you are trying to say that the PS3 is getting beat by a system who has been on the market for 2 years and has a superior game lineup. That is the most retarded statement ever. Of course the 360 is winning, it has more games when the PS3 has only like 2 good ones. In fact, you just hurt your original argument. The PS3 is outselling a system who is established in the market, with a superior price and game lineup. That my friend, is ownage.

'MGS4 will be coming to 360' prove it please.
'more exclusives than sony' can you prove that to, plz
'it would also help if it hadnt flopped, well, everywhere' it hasnt flopped
'If GT5 is anything like GTHD I would pass' The GTHD demo was GT4 what has updated graphics for the E3 show(or one of them shows) just to show-off what the ps3 could do in graphics and loading times, in GT5 the cars from GTHD will be the same but game is being built from the ground up, the track from the demo, will not look like the final game. I agree track didnt look good and the people looked like models on a train set. The game will have more views only a new *****pit view as been shown at the mo, the game will have damage but slighty damage like on the bumps and wing-mirror, its a sim, its not about crashing the car.
Blu-ray is cheap on the ps3, cheaper than a player. Blu-ray was a good call by Sony, as devs. will have no problems with space limits. I bought my PS3 coz I know it will be good for the next 4 years, Xbox is starting to struggle with some future games(UT,COD4). As of right now, xbox is better for games and price. I just dont think the xbox can hold up till the next xbox.

If you hate it THAT much, why did you buy it? Anyway, if you really DID buy it, I hope it gives you as much satisfaction (as a consumer) as it has given me.

You are not lying. You are just too biased as you already had much more games on the 360.
Anyway, I do wish you would analyze your own posts with a clear, unbiased mind, and you would probably see that the PS3 does not really deserve as much criticism as you guys are heaping upon it.

In the early 80's it was commodore vs sinclair (timex for our US cousins), then it was Atari vs Amiga (the atari was out b4 the amiga and enjoyed better sales in the first few years - games were ported to the amiga but then the amiga really shone with its custom chips and outsold the atari - shame commodore could not market the thing), then in the 90's it was nintendo vs sega. Sony in the later 90's and early 00's had the market to itself so done well. I am a ps3 owner. I like the game lineup of the xbox but I feel, referring to the atari/amiga 'war', that the ps3 is technically superior and will be around longer.
At the end of the day both machines have their good points and bad points and should co exist happily. I also own a wii as this is a different beast. Its more of a social beast. Easy to play when friends come round. But as soon as they are gone it's back to the ps3 and a game of resistance.

Well, maybe you shouldn't have been drinking so much since you hate the PS3.
"That's right, the most infamous PS3 skeptic of all time, Mister Common Sense, now owns a PS3!"
If you own one, then prove it by giving us you PSN ID.
"It comes as a shock to me as well. For once, I didn't use common sense, and it really cost me. $550 to be exact. Ouch! There goes my plans of getting a 1080p 42" LCD TV."
Is $550 really that much of a problem? I live in Europe and i had to shell out $850, but then again the Xbox costs $660 or something like that in europe.
"Anyway I guess I can't really bash the PS3 anymore"
Then do us a favor and stop making all the biased comments because it's irrelivant and your reputation suffers from this. I heard you and Axo got banned from the Neoseeker forums...

*sign* Where's the source? Kojima has already confirmed that this game is a PS3 exclusive and still your biased brain will deny anything that he has said. You've told us that you own a PS3, so why bother having it on a console with less storage of the medium?
"If GT5 is anything like GTHD I would pass. The photos of the game look nice, but when youre actually playing it its a bore. One car races that feel like youre going 15 mph, no damage, and very few driving features (only two camera angles, absolutely nothing compared to the car features on Forza2). I dont see how any ps3 fan could brag about this game."
*sigh* You haven't played the previous installments of the games have you? Did you know that GT HD is missing some of the features you could use in the previous installments? You can customize your components on the car, you can drive 700 cars, drive on 50 tracks etc.
"If I were you, I would just hold out on MGS for a bit and pick up PGR4 to calm your racing spirit."
Then go ahead, hold your breath until MGS4 comes out on the Xbox. You would properly be dead before you ever get to play MGS4 on the Xbox.

Most of those blow. Ridge Racer 7? Does anyone care about that game after 6? Come in, it sucks.
Both Halo and Gears are better than Resistance.
Ninja Gaidem Sigma is an old Xbox game.
Just about every racer on the 360 is better than Motorstorm.
Calling all Cars is a small downloadable game, you want me to list all the amazing arcade games the XBLA is getting? It would go well over the character limit.
Genji and Lair blow, and both got HORRIBLE reviews. Never even mention Genji, that game is a disgrace to Sony
Final Fantasy is getting old, and after 10 and 12 I'm convinced they can't make another good one.
And timed exclusives hardly count. After all that you really don't have much.
I can't stop laughing that you mentioned Genji, LOL, You know you're hurting for games when you have to list that POS. Allow me to summon a Metacritic page:
http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps3/genji2?q+genji
TADA! A 55 over 46 reviews. That's absolutely TERRIBLE.

Wow You library well let me tell you that you wouldn't have that library if you came out the same time as the PS3, and since your a year ahead of it. But remember Blu-ray is winning, PS3 will have stellar games, Sony will sell like hotcakes, xbox will get RRoD and never come back, MS will get sued from lawsuit in the making, and MS will never make another Console since they haven't made a dime in this business, and there not doing any better than its predecessor. So now what.
