PlayStation 3 surpasses Xbox 360 for console sales

Posted

The PlayStation 3 has finally surpassed the Xbox 360 in console sales.

 

Microsoft's HD DVD player has nothing on the PS3 now. 

 

Next mission: Surpass the Nintendo Wii in console sales.

 

Go PlayStation!

Congrats to the PS3!

Lol I read this out loud to my brother and he was like "who ever made a thread about that on your kh forums is just a playstation fanboy"

 

but in all honesty I like the ps3 much more than the xbox 360, so yay go ps3

Next mission: Surpass the Nintendo Wii in console sales.

 

Go PlayStation!

Keep dreaming :P

Well, it seems like the marketers learned their lesson from those Nightmarish ads from early on. More exclusives are probably helping it get momentum. Microsoft needs to make/snag more IP's instead of relying on Halo (as much of a puller as it is)  alone to get an edge.

Lol I didn't even know the Wii was ahead of them both xD

I just got a PS3 for Christmas; glad to know it's still doing this well.

I prefer Nintendo consoles overall, but Sony is a very close second.

The Wii's only ahead because it's been so cheap, Mario Kart bundle, and the fact it appeals to casual gamers more.

Is there a White Lotus for gaming??

 

 

 

 

 

I'm Bill Gates, and I like money.  I make computers and then I break them!

This was obviously going to happen...

Go Sony! One step closer to world domination?

 

 

 

 

 

 

wait, I don't even like sony .-.

Isn't there usually a source in the post?

I like PS3 more than Xbox, but I'm not sure if i want it to pass wii sales. Wii did have a gamecube too so that made it 10x better to it's still ahead imo. Sadly, with the new one not having that, I think it will fall to Sony

IGN and Wiki.

In all honesty I prefer  PS3 more than 360. I like all consoles, but PS3 is my current favorite. 

I wonder what caused the change. 1.5

Oh yeah! :D Mario Kart's pretty fun! ^^ Plus there's Super Smash Bros. Brawl xD

To me it seems that XBox is better for like first person shooters and multiplier stuff more than the PlayStation is, while PlayStation is more like for RPG's, Platformers, and Third Person shooters, while everything else goes great with both of them.  They are both great consoles I am a little bias because I have only played the XBox twice every and PlayStation like all the time so its kinda hard to not be bias.  I don't wanna start anything but that's just how I feel about it.  By the way good job PS3 for doing this, however it seems kinda irreverent with the new XBox coming out this year and I think the new PlayStation as well but I'm not sure but still good job.

That gives more reason for it to not be "irreverent". The 360 had a big headstart on the PS3. And now the PS3 has finally surpassed it.

I'm pretty neutral to both, but I don't see how this just happened. The PS3 is already better in terms of the actual system owo.

Xbox 360 had a headstart on sales. And some people like HD DVDs.

lol Sony said they would pass Xbox 360 sales within the first 12 months of the ps3's release...its now 5+ years past at the end of the console cycle and they are just passing Xbox 360 in sales? Despite the fact that they completely dominate (6-1) the Japan and Asian market on a whole, and you see this as an achievement worthy of bragging? LOL. 

 

Your title should read, "Xbox 360 finally falls behind ps3 sales after 5 years of dominance", not that it really matters since the next gen consoles are dropping this year onwards..

America likes HD DVDs for some reason.

 

And the PS3 still has plenty of life left in it. Sony is committed to supporting the console to at least the end of 2016. Could last until 2018 or 2019.

It has nothing to do with America "liking" HD DvDs. I for one dont have a single dvd for my xbox 360, we use netflix or download movies for free(lol). Xbox gets downloadable content first,  and has a much better multiplayer/online experiencene (with psn, you get what you pay for = $0). I will take those, as well as the Halo and Gears of War series over blu ray and all of ps3 exclusives anyday :)
