| 360 outsold PS3 even when God of War 3 and Final Fantasy 13 which is traditionally a Playstation title was released. 360 is really starting to show it's dominance. | |

What's the equivalent for NPD for the rest of the world? GFK. But you have to pay money to get those numbers or wait for the quarterly reports from Sony and MS.

| You guys do realise that the only reason why Xbox 360 is outselling PS3 is because of the lack shortages in the US right? PS3's are nowhere to be found. I actually checked to see if this was true by going to stores like Amazon and Best Buy, and not a single PS3 insight. It's been reported that the consumer demand for PS3 remains incredibly high. So clearly theirs still a lot of people that want a PS3. There's just isn't enough for everyone at this time. So Xbox 360 is going to continue to outsell the PS3 in the US for a few months until Sony ships enough units for everybody. | |

| GOW 3 and FF13 brand loyalty did nothing to make ps3 outsell 360.
and this is before the price cuts to make way for the slim price cut lol | |

You actually beleive that?Wow,thats all I have to say........ Because it's true. I just said i checked a few stores to see if there were anymore PS3's left in stock. And there was none available. A few people in the forums said they couldn't find PS3's where they live aswell. Various reliable sites including IGN and vg247 repoted this issue. Even Sony themselves said that people have to wait a bit longer until they ship enough PS3's in the US. So why in the hell wouldn't i believe this? -_- | |

| ^^^^ shortages ONLY happen in two cases:
1. When a console launches/its first year on sale.
2. When your the #1 console seller (the Wii this generation).
There is no reason why there would be PS3 shortages now. Sony surely saw a spike in PS3 sales when the slim came out so surely they should have planned to make more for the post holiday period.
Realistically? Looking past the corporate "official" report, I guess that Sony is trying to get the market a feeling that the PS3 is so sought after by giving them the illusion that s its always almost sold out. This mind set will help them once the 360 slim comes out followed by the price drop.
Or they simply are relying on superior Europe and Japan sales and thus arent giving NA as much attention with supply lines. | |

| GoW3 Is currently the top-selling game that was released this year? I didn't realize that. But there are always two sides of the story. As for now, I'v had the same experience King, their sold out practically everywhere and are selling like hot cakes. The PS3 is nearly there. Alot closer then a few years ago. But when you think about it, until more good PS3 games come out, the PS3 won't get its sales up quickly and dramatically. But with Uncharted 3 in the works, Killzone 3 in the works, Resistance 3 in the works, and probably many others, I expect to see a huge spike in sales. |

See the thing is, Uncharted 3 is really the only system seller out of the three you mentioned. While Killzone 3 and Resistance 3 may be good games, a lot of people don't consider them a system seller. The 360 has two main system sellers, Gears of War and Halo and there's two confirmed games coming out of those franchises within the next year. | |

You forgot about "Gran Turismo 5" the king of system-sellers. I heard that 33% of people who pre-ordered "Gran Turismo 5" don't even own a PS3 yet! | |

- Data collected by marketing research agency OTX GamePlan, however, gives a peek into stats you know Sony is taking into careful consideration. According to their latest survey, 33% of people who plan on purchasing GT5 don't yet own a PlayStation 3 console to play it on. In other words, if GT5 sells anywhere close to GT4's 10.9 million copies, there will have to be several million consoles out the door along with it. For a system that sells around 10 million units per year, that would be a healthy increase. Without a solid release date for the game, though, those consoles could be sitting on the shelf for a while…

1000 doesn't sound like a lot, but whatever number they choose isn't going to be since there are millions of gamers time will tell I guess | |

Anyway a sample space of 1000 isn't nearly close to enough to call it a statistic. | |

Amazon.com is stocked with PS3s and I've seen the 250gig model here and there. If you REALLY wanted a PS3 right now, you could get one. It's not like trying to find a Wii in 2007. | |
