Hardware: Console Weekly Total Week Ending 7/14 show the PS3 at 41,005 and the 360 at 35,084 a difference of 5,921. Other hardware numbers are listed below.

DS 97,404

PS2 43,406
PS3 41,005
X360 35,084
GBA 14,451
GC 1,864

I know that its only been 1 week and a half, since the price drop but do you think the tide is slowly turning in Sony's favor?

I think its way way way to early to tell, plus the fact the 360 has been out a year longer, PS3 needs to be outselling it.

Unfortunately, I think it's just a blip from the price drop, but I really do hope it continues.

jorg · 07-19-2007, 12:33 AM

lol i agree with price drop blip lol as long as ps2 out sells 360 im happy cuz those ps2 owners will eventrualy upgrade

Anthony P · 07-19-2007, 12:50 AM

I think it is more then a blip but not yet at tide is turning. I think by Christmas, the sales between the three will be closer then it is now.

ReduxInflux · 07-19-2007, 12:53 AM

and it goes without saying but i'll say it anyway -

with every ps3 sold, a blu-ray player is sold. with every xbox 360 sold - an xbox 360 is sold. genius.

I reluctantly agree

Usually having been around that much longer is an advantage because of the greater selection of games. Obviously the PS3 pricedrop and all the great gaming news has helped but I'd still expect the 360 to be selling better than it is.

Thats true, but if you look at the Wii why is it selling so damn well. I own one and it collects dust haha.

Count Zero · 07-19-2007, 01:06 AM

I'd bet the X360s sales are down because of the bad rap they're getting about the flaw in the systems. I have a friend whose X360 contracted the Red Ring of Death last week. Now it's just an Ex-360. I had him over my place and showed him the PS3. He was impressed with it, particulalry with Blu-Ray. Once people see the quality of the system, it sells itself.

BIgnacio · 07-19-2007, 01:30 AM

I looked at the previous weeks at VGChartz. That's the second week in a row the 360 has sold 35K or less. The PS3 had a huge jump from 17.7K to 41K! My PS3 was one of those!

An excellent BDay present to me!

i think the release of halo 3 might provide a huge boost sales...

I say wait until either the holidays or early next year then we'll really see if the tide has turned. The 360 has a year's advantage over the PS3 but with the fact that MS had to extend the warranty of the 360 to 3 years and that they've lost $1,000,000,000 because of it and the fact that the public generally thinks that the 360 is a ticking time bomb as far as the three red lights of death issue, the tide might turn quicker than what I just said.

victorvondoom88 · 07-19-2007, 09:45 PM

I agree with the above post. Also none of the xbox fanboys ever mention that prior to Gears of War the most played game on xboxlive was Halo 2 which is actually a xbox title not a 360 title.
So to all the 360 xbots it took over a year for you guys to get a great game. We actually had a pretty great launch title w/ RFoM. The ps3 should have about 5-6 great games by the end of '07.
Has the tide shifted?
Not just yet as the others have said its probably just a blip due to the price drop. The tide will shift just give it some time. Once HD-DVD is dead officially and developers come around to the blu side of things....

The Don · 07-19-2007, 09:54 PM

also...nobody has brought this up...at least from what I saw...

the 360 had a whole holiday by itself...

the PS3 came out and competed with a new Wii that was almost a 3rd of the price of the PS3....on top of a 360 that people ended up buying as a last resort when they couldn't find a PS3 or Wii....

you can't compare the two in their 1st year.....it's apples and peaches..
