Hey you're back, Toxa. You're one guy I can trust, especially with the chart you just posted.

I'm glad people are finally seeing 360 as the piece of crap it is.

Elandyll · 08-15-2008, 01:37 AM

Excellent, proves not only that the $299 Xbox is a semi-flop, but also that the 80Gb pack is covering the 40Gb being out of stock in many stores.

Cplhicks · 08-15-2008, 02:02 AM

Too bad PS3's software is still lagging behind. I figured SCIV had a good shot at nearing/bettering 360 numbers due to Vader and all, but apparently not. And that sports game was only like 55% of the 360. People gotta buy more games...

AliceT · 08-15-2008, 03:15 AM

What happened to MGS4? Its not even in the top 10.

1) It sold almost 1M unit in June alone

2) The PS3 80Gb packs aren't counted me thinks

This is sad just by its very nature. I can't believe that you can slap Guitar Hero on a DS game and sell this well. But then, maybe kids can play it without severe finger crampage.

When you think that the US installed base for the 360 is near double that of the PS3, yep, definitely interesting

Rike255 · 08-15-2008, 02:20 PM

Looking good Sony. Still no Nintendo (in terms of sales), but it's coming along.

Any guesses on when (or if) Nintendo's sales will start slowing down?

"Overall sales of video game hardware, software and accessories raked in $3.3 billion, up 54% from the same quarter last year. Game software sales were $1.6 billion from January to March 2007, up 30% Q1 2006. Overall March game sales (hardware, software and accessories) were up 33% to $1.1 billion versus $818 million last March. The sale of game software alone was up from $501 million last March to $574 million last month."

Not bad in a receding economy!

the PS3 Vs. 360 isn't even a factor anymore. 360 is just trying to stay alive against the PS2 now

PS2 is a stud.

I seriuosly think we might still be seeing PS2 games being made in 2011/12.

Nice, I think people are starting to understand value and look towards the brighter future. Top of the lining gaming, tons of great titles and a kick ass blu-ray player, wha'ts not to love

Rushing product out of the gate early certainly had its perks for MS, I only hope Sony doesn't try to go that route next time due to the success it brought MS early on.

Unfortunatly, its a different story for sales in Japan which involves a pig sprouting wings and somehow flying.
