- krische, on 04/19/2008, -16/+82Guess it goes to show that the 360 really only has a strong hold on the US market. The PS3 seems to be beating it everywhere else in the world.
- inactive, on 04/19/2008, -14/+75why is a technology article on digg....is this 2005?
- WinterWolf33, on 04/19/2008, -6/+54People need to understand the PS3 was never struggling. It had sold more in its first year than the 360 sold in its first year. And so far it is on par with the PS2 sales since it was released.

- inactive, on 04/19/2008, -7/+49I don't understand fanboys on either side. I like the Xbox 360, but that doesn't mean I dislike the PS3. I want to see both do well. As an Xbox 360 fan, you should be glad that the PS3 is doing well because it drives Microsoft to do better and cut prices.
If I needed Blu-Ray, I'd go straight for a PS3. - humphreys23, on 04/19/2008, -25/+57I always thought that it was the PS3 that was struggling
- kingfoot, on 04/19/2008, -6/+37its still hard for some people to understand the global market.
- VinnieDaMac, on 04/19/2008, -7/+35It was until Blu-ray started winning the format war. If you want a Blu-ray player, you must as well get a PS3.
- dsmx, on 04/19/2008, -10/+34That's too much logic and evidence for xbox fanboys to take in.
- krische, on 04/19/2008, -9/+32the 360 isn't physically capable of handling MGS4 without ruining the game. There was just a story yesterday saying they are maxing out the PS3 for MGS4.
- TWIXMIX, on 04/19/2008, -1/+23I'm still not entirely sure why people are buying the Wii in such large numbers. In my opinion the controller isn't precise enough to offer a great feeling of immersiveness and the games library is horrible in comparison to that of the Xbox 360. I'll admit Mario and Brawl are great games, but the system desperately needs some great 3rd party games in its lineup.
- jesperhh, on 04/19/2008, -4/+25yes, but i has, so it isn't garbage.
- krische, on 04/19/2008, -8/+27The PS3 has the CELL. Which, when used correctly, can run circles around the 360. Look at games like Uncharted and Gran Tursimo. I fail to see any games on the 360 that are the same level performance wise.
- treed, on 04/19/2008, -5/+23The article isn't about sales since launch. Also, keep in mind that the 360 launched a year prior to the PS3, so it naturally has higher total numbers anyway.
- dsmx, on 04/19/2008, -5/+22Or it could be that Europeans want a console that doesn't come with a guarantee that it will fail.
- BattleScars, on 04/19/2008, -2/+19How about a minimum of 40 gig storage to play with on ALL console variants and a disc that holds up to 50 gigs, allowing for uncompressed audio and full HD (1080p). MGS4 needs both of this features to work. So, remind me, how's it gonna work on the 360?????
- shinythingy, on 04/19/2008, -7/+23Nobody is saying the PS3 has surpassed the 360 in total sales. What is being said is that the PS3 overtook the 360 in monthly sales a while back and is still doing so.
- WhereAmI, on 04/19/2008, -6/+21And I'm glad you don't have one. Don't need idiots like you on PSN.
- Sniper, on 04/19/2008, -3/+18Soccer moms and spoiled 8 year old kids FTW
- BattleScars, on 04/19/2008, -9/+24Incorrect
- forcedfx, on 04/19/2008, -2/+17I dugg your comment because you're right about wanting to see both consoles survive. It keeps both MS and Sony innovating to try and gain greater market share. I own a PS3 and don't want to start paying for PSN. That was a big part of my decision to get the PS3 over the 360.
- kinseyincanada, on 04/19/2008, -13/+27for ***** sake can we just stop this stupid console war, who cares what system sold more, they are both great and both have good games, you dont need to justify your purchase just enjoy what you have and shut up.
- threepio, on 04/19/2008, -4/+17Sure we've heard of it - but if the market is saturated with 360s at such a low number in Europe it really does point out that not that many people there want it.
- krische, on 04/19/2008, -1/+14Quite the shift from the usual 4chan stuff.
- BattleScars, on 04/19/2008, -0/+13What the ***** is the point of this comment? I mean seriously, is this 'list random ***** about yourself' day or something?
- spiralspirit, on 04/19/2008, -6/+181) Wii and PS3 sell to different market segments - those likely to want a WII will not be shopping for a ps3, and vice versa.
2) given that ps3 is selling more than xbox, the only thing sony has to do to outsell microsoft in total shipped units is wait. - krische, on 04/19/2008, -6/+18Worldwide: 360: 18.24M PS3: 11.79M Sorry, but 12 is not half of 18. Also, don't forget the fact that the PS3 has been outselling the 360 worldwide since christmas.
Source: vgchartz.com - inactive, on 04/19/2008, -6/+18MGS4 will never be on 360, you're a retard if you think otherwise
- KloroFormd, on 04/19/2008, -7/+19Of the few friends I have with a PS3 (4 of them...) none of them has had a hardware problem.
Of the friends I have with a 360 (12 of them) all of them has had the RRoD, minus one, who's drive failed.
Why does the PS3 suck? - nunofgs, on 04/20/2008, -4/+15I'll start off by saying that I own an Xbox 360 and absolutely love it. I've never owned a playstation and never really wanted one, however, Microsoft needs to get their ***** heads out of their asses if they want to stay in the game.
Dropping the price in Europe was a good start, but they're gonna need more than that.
Let's analyze this a bit further:
The PS3 has FREE online gaming. I mean, COME ON, that's a no-brainer. I already paid for the console, the $70 game and I'm using MY internet connection. It's not like I can play Team Fortress 2 on a dedicated microsoft server. Why the hell should I pay on top of that for a service that others give out for free (Nintendo DS, Wii, PS2, PS3, PSP). Microsoft should just convert people's subscriptions into Live Points and stop charging for the live service.
The PS3's soon-to-come Home/Second Life thing. Honestly, I couldn't care less about it. But you know those 8 year old kids love that ***** and whether you like it or not, it WILL sell consoles.
$90 for a 20gb hard-drive? Are you serious? The PS3 lets you hook up ANY hard-drive you want. Just buy a 500GB HD and stick it in there.
The PS3 has HDMI in all consoles, Wi-Fi in all consoles ($60 for a ***** pen-sized wifi adaptor for the xbox?) and most importantly, a HD in every single console. Oh, and let's not forget the blu-ray. Even if it didn't make a big difference right now (which it does) in about 5 years when pratically every home has an HD TV, it will.
RROD/ban-hammers/DRM issues/live unsubscribing issues/DLC pricing issues/etc,etc. Microsoft need to be a lot more permissive if they want to STAY in the console business. I'm not saying they shouldn't care if you pirate games, I'm saying that they shouldn't be as ban-happy about banning people with modded fans and whatnot.
Like I said, I love my Xbox and I really don't want to see it drop out of the console business, but Microsoft needs to fix some of these issues, YESTERDAY. - Claude1971, on 04/19/2008, -8/+19yeah right if MGS4 ended up on the 360 they'd have to have it on like 10 DVD. It'd be like installing MS Office from floppy, (like 30 floppies and that would be a really old version). Go bow down to your shrine to Bill loser
- MillionsLivio, on 04/19/2008, -7/+17"frankly, the 360 has no good games anymore"
That's just pure *****; I hate the whole "fanboy wars" as I think everyone has a personal preference and each console has it's highs and lows. However, saying the 360 has no good games is utter biased fanboyism. You used GTA IV as an example, yet it's on the 360, with downloadable content and online multiplayer. I like all the consoles, but when it comes to the gaming library the 360 is far ahead of the rest right now. The PS3 could very well catch up in time, but as of right now that's just not the case. - WhereAmI, on 04/19/2008, -1/+11It was better then...
- jesushitler, on 04/20/2008, -2/+10bah...360 still has way better games. i'll dust off my PS3 on June 12th.
- shinythingy, on 04/19/2008, -1/+9This. The Wii interested me because it seemed like it would really immerse me into a game like never before but in reality it just fails
- krische, on 04/19/2008, -2/+10I'm guessing if you don't know how to spell 'because' then you don't know how to turn it on. user error.
- dpsxi69, on 04/20/2008, -2/+9your all a bunch of nerds. Give me my godddamn GTAIV so i wont ever have to get on digg again and read all of your ***** comments.
- captsaveahoe, on 04/19/2008, -2/+9I wish my 360 would stop freezing randomly during gameplay....is that too much to ask?
- Flynnz, on 04/19/2008, -5/+12well to be fair there are idiots all over xbox live as well. heh
- Birdoftruth, on 04/19/2008, -3/+10I dugg you down. RTFA
"However, a Sony spokesman today hit back at the company's arch rival, telling Register Hardware that the PS3 has outsold the Microsoft console every week for the last 15 weeks." - TWIXMIX, on 04/19/2008, -3/+10Ya, unfortunately that's probably the case.
- Shaflugi, on 04/20/2008, -4/+10That's because the rest of the world cares about something other than FPS games.
- BrendanSheehan, on 04/19/2008, -6/+12It was well before the Blu-Ray victory. PS3 is killing in Europe and Japan - it's the US that are again behind the curve.
- TWIXMIX, on 04/19/2008, -1/+7I believe it's almost 100% certain that blu-ray will be the next big thing. When it comes to movies, Sony owns so many studios that it makes it hard for them to lose.
