- felman87, on 10/20/2007, -0/+6they're not but they're the most accurate data on the net.
- seanthebond, on 10/24/2007, -1/+6Shhhh.. Everyone bury the story. Nobody has to know...
- acurism, on 10/20/2007, -4/+9This will never make it to the front page.
But I agree, all the doom and gloom is getting tiresome. It is obvious it is hanging with the 360 since launch, impressive considering the price has always been much higher with the PS3. - slimscane, on 10/22/2007, -1/+5Didn't I just read a story about PS3 selling on par with the gamecube?
- WinterWolf33, on 10/22/2007, -7/+10It should also be noted that when 360 came out, it had no competition in the next gen arena, it was released at a cheaper price point than PS3, and 360 was released worldwide whereas PS3 was only first released in Japan and North America.
All things considered, PS3 is doing quite well. - chocobomog, on 10/22/2007, -0/+3By the same "logic", since the PS3 costs $200 more and has "no games" yet it still sells on par with the cheaper 360 with its "many games", the PS3 is better off. Let's see how well it does now that it is the same price and actually "has games" this holiday season.
- Paroparo, on 10/20/2007, -0/+3There is only one professional tracking service in North America (NPD), and the weekly hardware numbers on Vgchartz are generally less than 15% away from them, which also happens to be NPD's own error margin. Japan has two similar services, and Vgchartz is about as far away from them as the two are from each other. Everything from Europe and all software sales are much less accurate, but the lifetime sales are extremely close due to being checked all the time with quarterly reports and other official information.
- mywhitenoise, on 10/21/2007, -0/+2I'm nowhere near as bad as those two. I don't go into 360 diggs and bash their console all day, and neither do I for Wii...though I do talk ***** about Wii (with good reason, I own one).

- mywhitenoise, on 10/22/2007, -2/+4people like to digg down the truth?
- otatop, on 10/20/2007, -1/+2It was by itself, but a lot of people were holding off on buying it until they saw whether or not it was better than the PS3. Look at the huge sales spike for the 360 right after the PS3 came out. It's the same waiting game that killed the Dreamcast, only this time, Sony didn't live up to its hype.
- Ajajadude, on 10/20/2007, -0/+1So, YOUR store is the benchmark for the thousands of stores in the United States? Where do you work, Amazon.com?
- Azimuth1, on 10/22/2007, -2/+2Consider that next to zero units of the 360 have been sold in Japan. The 360 is on par with the PS3 in sales despite only selling properly in two regions, whereas the PS3 is selling properly in three.
So really, the 360 is better off. - Ajajadude, on 10/22/2007, -2/+1Not people, fanboys. There's a difference.
- BlueSkyfish, on 10/21/2007, -3/+2KingGoonie is for Nintendo. You're thinking Wageslaven. (And Sony has you, of course)
- ashleyhancock, on 10/22/2007, -5/+3Xbox 360 Tops Console Sales in September and outsells PS3 5:1
As the holiday season heats up, September 2007 is sure to go down in history as one for the record books. The launch of one of the greatest properties in entertainment history, “Halo 3” (Microsoft Game Studios), was largely responsible for driving the biggest month in US video game history with consumer spending on games reaching an all time high for 2007.
Source: MajorNelson.com go ahead and scream bias, but no one can deny the success of Halo or the 360. The only reason that the 360 didn't sell more in the launch period was because there wasn't as many available. At the store I've worked in we've had around 100 PS3's in stock since launch and sell 2-3 a week compared to 8-10 360's a week. - cool8man, on 10/20/2007, -6/+2I don't think "VGchartz" numbers are accurate, especially when you are talking about worldwide data.
