NPD: PlayStation 3 is selling better than the Xbox 360 |
Ó
It seems that NPD, a sales tracking firm, has said that the Sony PlayStation 3 is selling better than Microsoft's Xbox 360. Interestingly enough, the sales figures in the US are still showing that the Xbox 360 is outselling the PS3.NPD made their analysis based on the figures of the Xbox 360 during its release. To quote their exact words were "figures show that the PS3 is selling slightly faster in the US than the Xbox 360 did at the same stage in its release". So that means that in the same time frame, the PS3 has actually sold more units. Is this a sign of things to come or simply an initial surge of sales because of the hype?
Regardless, if what NPD is saying is true, then Sony will have to do something to keep this momentum to achieve market dominance (a title the Xbox 360 is currently holding). In the meantime, we'll stay tuned and see if Sony will be able to maintain their spot on NPD's charts. More news as it happens here on QJ.

The wii is doing well... but nobody knows how lock that will last. It's success is largely due to its price... but (again imo) it doesn't compare to the 360 or wii...
the PS3 needs games... the 360 needs Halo... lol

I could go to any Media store in my town and get a PS3 without ANY Problem.
The 360 was SOLD OUT after exactly 7 Hours.
In Germany that is.
The PS3 is selling like ***** and thats a fakt.
PEACE

Or is this due to the 360 shortages which existed for months after launch.
Nah, that can't possibly have anything to do with it.

keep in mind that ps3 numbers are sales with the 360 and Wii already out. 360 numbers were sales with none of the next gen consoles out yet.

To help you understand, I’ll give you a very simple and concise lecture. I’m a young guy who earns about $100 every single hour. I earn $1,500 every two days. So, for me, $1,000 (the cost of the PS3 + taxes + accessories + some more things) is no problem. All those X360 lovers hate PS3s because they can’t afford expensive products from the Great Japan. All PS3s in the Great Japan are constantly sold out; there’re so many rich ppl here. X360 owners are game addicts; and game addicts are poorly educated; so all the game addicts (Xbox 360 buyers) live off minimum wage (about $7 an hour). Like the former president of Sony said, just work more hours to buy a PS3 if you don’t have enough money, immatured guys.
[Easy comparisons between PS3 and X360]
* PS3 can be compared as a very expensive ‘luxury car’.
* X360 is just an average car from ‘GM’ (General Motors).
You can just own a GM car then live your lives for 10 years; no problems. You can go to your workplace and do all sort of things with your little GM car; however, if you want to get more features (airbags, superb tires and all kinds of state-of-the-art electronics), better quality components and better deigned car, you must buy a very expensive luxury car.
All those poor X360 owners say that you don’t need PS3s because the X360 consoles can do so much. That’s completely idiotic. Let me bring up the following example. A cheap GM car can move at the speed of 110 km/h without getting any damage to the components on the car. A very expensive luxury car can go at the speed of 200 km/h without getting any damage to the components. In real life situations, you almost never have any chances to go faster than 110 km/h even if you own a ‘luxury car’ because of many factors such as speed limitation, traffic conditions, et cetera; therefore, poor GM car owners can say that their cheep cars are as good as unnecessarily expensive ‘luxury cars’ because GM cars can do anything the luxury cars can do. I’m rolling on the floor laughing. Laugh my ass off, you little cute westerners. Just because cheap GM cars can do most things which can be done by expensive luxury cars, it doesn’t mean you only have to buy cheap GM cars. If you have more $$$, and can afford better and more advanced cars then go for it.
Every time you little, cute Americans and Europeans purchase our PlayStations, the Great Japan becomes better and richer! I’m all for it!
* Show us your money!
* Make the Great Japan even richer!
* Just send us the $$$ then we will give you little gifts called PlayStation! And then waste away your lives on the machines! You game addicted little, cute Americans and Europeans!
* We Great Japanese love you little westerner customers; because of the free trade, the Great Japan is almost as rich as America which is the richest country in the whole world! Just compare the sizes of both countries, America is 50 times (yes, that’s fifty) bigger than the Great Japan in terms of the area size; and the Great Japan is as rich as the little, cute America!

Okay...#1 - personal preference towards that console
#2 - Again another opinion
#3 - Yeah another opinion
I can see there are no facts whatsoever. If your console is all that great, what are you doing here b!tching about it? Shouldn't you be playing your console cuz it's better than the rest?

do you have any idea what this will do to the future of gaming?
sony will just release the ps4 priced at 700$ with 0 launch games.
Microsoft will follow suit with 600$.

But what I wanted to say (as an answer to the other posts) is: in the first store they got about 40 Ps3 and 3 Xbox360s, and in the second one they got 7 Ps3s left and about 20 Xbox360. So you can't really say which one is selling better with just looking how much they have in stores.
I don't care which wil win, I have both. The one for games the other one for watching Bluray movies on my HDTV :).
But one thing is sure: Bluray will win.

why do you think NPD says ps3 sold better than the 360? cuz sony was able to get more consoles out. i dont think holding 360s in warehouses just to claim a "sellout" for months will help you post numbers. it just impresses people like prozac that something is sold out for months.
think of this:
75,000 units sold and SOLD OUT in 6 months.
100,000 units sold and NOT SOLD OUT in 6 months. take your pick.

Go look at any website and look at sales of DVD the others are just NOTHINGS, and a real FACT is Blu Ray is in LAST place for dedicated hardware sales of HD hardware go look for yourself on google.
Blu RAY and HD-DVD are both FLOPS and they are NEVER going to change anything..

it's clear that x360 did well, but ps3 is not doing badly either, having sold enough units to justify itself.
let's remember the ps2 vs xbox thing... basically ps2 got the jump on xbox and sold more, but dreamcast got the jump on ps2 and sold fewer... what can we learn from this?
time will tell.
early interest isn't a good indication of how well a system will sell over time.
i bought a uk ps3, £425, but i bought ZERO games - it's not worth it, they're all not good enough for my £45. i did get tekken, it's only 7 quid. BUT i haven't bought a x360 due to the fact that i see ZERO games i want on it.
i'll tell you what though, being able to put linux on it is quite interesting... it's a proper 100% legit way of playing emulators, divx, even ripping dvds etc... amazing sony would just let ps3 owners do that...

At least the PS3 doesnt burn to a crisp

1. 100 Million PS2 players to upgrade from. Microshaft does this with its OS software, all time.
2. Some Xblows 270 users have had to replace the console serveral times. That will catch up with them.
3. Spring Update is coming for Xblows 270. Yipee! That ought brick a few thousand system. And make more people happy with Xblows 270.
4. The PS3 is a better system by far. The hardware is way more technically advanced than Xblows 270. Better built units. Not cheaply made, for max profits, like the xblows 270.
Oh, And I have a slightly used Xblows 270 console for sale. Bricked only once by Microshaft, and never repaired. Give your wife a nice gift for her birthday, buy her a nice doorstop. Or you can use the flashing red LED lights for Christmas decoration.

This article is fanboy-ish because the reality is the PS3 didn't sell that much around the same amount of time when the 360 was selling. I got the 2nd batch of the 360 that wasn't overheating, but if there is any truth to this article at all, then the argument is that the 360 was the only next-gen console around (this is fact). After people got a whiff of next-gen, suddenly Sony fanboys came out of the woodwork. Don't deny it, the 360 paved the way for the PS3.

BTW, did you check out coverage of the disasterous Austrailan and European launches? Only 80 people in line in the biggest city of Austrailia in a huge disapointing launch ceremony!

2. What's that? Making a huge deal about isolated and rare hardware failure reports? Consoles replaced free under warranty? I've never heard a gaystation fanboy bring THAT up. Didn't feel like calling MS to get that 360 you supposedly have fixed? They extended the warranty a full year and even offered to fix illegally modified consoles affected by last fall's update.
3. DON'T F*CK WITH YOUR DVD DRIVE'S FIRMWARE AND IT WON'T BRICK!!!!!! Even if you do it anyway, MS said they would fix all consoles!
4. Nope, not more technically advanced. The PS3 can do those protien folding calculations well, but everything else sucks. CPU is proven less powerful for most tasks. GPU is proven less powerful. No hardware scaler chip. Non selectable 256mb RAM for CPU and GPU. 360 has 5 times the memory bandwith. No signal loss controllers. 360 has lower power consumption. 160+ game vs. 30. 5 million online users vs. 1 million. The XBOX 360 is not cheaply made. It has a metal casing unlike the PS3 and doesn't show every scratch and fingerprint.
I love it when you fantards come along and spew your over opinionated BS. Please reply to this and I can make you look even stupider. Thanks, you made my day.
