YugoRocketsFan Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) http://www.totalvideogames.com/img/uploaded/www.totalvideogames.com_69066_hardware_sales.jpg TVG research has shown that at each console's current rate of growth, sales of PlayStation 3 units will overtake those of the Xbox 360 in January 2011 according to sales figures published by Microsoft and Sony to-date. Since being launched in November 2006 (March 2007 in Europe), the PS3 has tallied 24.6 million units according to Sony's latest fiscal report, whereas Microsoft has sold 30.2 million Xbox 360s since its launch in November 2005. When we plotted these sales against a line of best fit and extended that line to project a 10-year lifecycle for each console, the PS3's sales overtook the Xbox 360's in January 2011, approximately five years into the current-gen lifecycle. Graphs showing these extended sales projections can be found here for the PS3 and here for the Xbox 360. While this is merely an estimation of future sales according to current sales trends, it does nonetheless reveal that Sony has been selling PS3s at a faster rate than Microsoft has Xbox 360s. This is despite higher total sales for Microsoft's console, which are the result of a one year head start on the market. Future price cuts for each console, changing market factors such as HD adoption, and unreleased technology (e.g. Project Natal and the PS3 Slim) will no doubt alter current growth rates in the future months and years. Nonetheless, our findings do fly in the face of currently accepted wisdom in the industry. This article was made before PS3 slim came out which has sold 1 million units in 3 weeks. http://www.totalvideogames.com/PlayStation-3/news/PS3-Sales-To-Overtake-Xbox-360-In-2011-14421.html Edited October 5, 2009 by YugoRocketsFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YugoRocketsFan Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) um, because its more fun and there are better games? More fun? We are playing the same exact games, lmfao. Better games? PS3 actually has more quality exclusives Little Big PlanetGod of War 3Resistance 2HazeKillzone 2Uncharted 2Metal Gear Solid 4Gran Turismo 5Upcoming Twisted metal 360 has. Left 4 Dead 2Gears of War 2Mass Effect 2Halo 3 (which I think is a gay game regardless) The people who say 360 GAMES ARE BETTA! are stupid and dont know what they are talking about. And 360 exclusives are starting to get on both systems. Look at Saints Row and Dead Rising, people know the PS3 will outsell the xbox in little time.
