As it stands today: worldwide PS3 total: 38.1 million global 360 total: 41.7 million.

Getting close, closer than I thought. Going to be a close race to the finish

Still a 4 million sales gap and this will definitely expand as the 360 is outselling ps3 worldwide and will continue through with Kinect.

Well technically these are shipped consoles, not sold. And on VGchartz, the 360 is ahead by 5.3 million.

damn........doesnt matter the gap is going up now so its all good

i thought the new xbox was selling really well or has that data yet to be fully released?

I'm not trying to stir the pot here but this is an honest question with no ill intent.

Anyone who knows me here knows I'm no PS3 fanboy/zealot.

Question: What happens if Sony do outsell the 360? What changes here? Is Sony still the bitch?

lol firstly, sony is the corporation, not a system. It can't outsell a system.

The ps3 will not outsell the 360. If it ever does outsell 360, it will be by the end of the generation when no one cares anymore.

Even if the ps3 did outsell the xbox 360, that's just one aspect. You're forgetting 360 is also winning in games library and online experience.

Nothing much will change if it happens.The PS3 fanabse didnt change that much when the 360 slim came out and they couldnt use the "360 has bad hardware" excuse

Exactly, 360 would still be winning by library and Live.

I didn't want anyone to get the wrong idea, I'm no PS fanboy.

Just I see that they may finally get hold of 2nd position and considering Sony was first for 2 generations the name itself would have finally worked in their favor eventually.

It'll be interesting to see what MS try and do to combat the numbers world wide, price drops perhaps? Looking at this from a corporations perspective MS have won in their own race as they outsold the XBOX (original) & have such an awesome attach rate which will only grow (imo). They may be content as a corporation unless they want more numbers that is.

This could be good and we may yet see MS' golden age of gaming to come this generation.

Competition is good, PS3 zealots are not lol.

good try but they are still in dead last with 3.6 million,.probably 4 million by now with the new 360 model and temporary pride drops on original 360's. It did good damage because of the new form factor that they always do every gen and $100 hefty price cut. But now they don't have that anymore and 360 has that now so the gap will grow back.

*Gears up for the PS3 fanboy horde*

im not a PS3 fanboy so dont take this the wrong way, im just saying how i feel but i do think that the PS3 will at least tie with the 360 because the slim didnt give the 360 a big boost and who will pay 150 for kinect? And i dont think the PS3 will pass the 360 because MOVE will not sell very well (obviosly) and reach will give the 360 a bigger boost than GT5 will (again obviosly *prepares to get banned*

LOL, as long as you use constructive criticism and abide by the rules this forum has been pretty lenient, to me at least, even if you are a PS3 fan

HOW DAREE U FFS

I think everyone who isn't a mod gets a little paranoid over the ban hammer from time to time. I got banned once for stating that I had no interest at all in Kinect or Project NATAL as it was known at the time because I thought that it was only going to have games to accommodate the casual crowd. I guess I was right.

Scenerio #1 = PS3 outsells 360 before the next gen. I will admit being part of last place and take the "ownage" with a head held high

Scenerio #2 = PS3 outsells 360 after the next gen is released. We will say its a hollow victory, how PS3 couldnt even beat 360 in the generation when it mattered. Well be too busy cheering on the Xbox 720 getting a headstart on the PS4 to care about PS3 winning a hollow last gen victory.

Im hoping for #2

I Agree. And last gen I totally respected the Gamecube fans because they admitted they were last place and continued to enjoy their console unlike PS3 fanboys who are the polar opposite.

if the PS3 does loose then at lease the PS3 fanboys wont act all high and mighty next gen and i also hope xbox fanboys dont get high on victory
I also hope all of you dont let which console comes out first affect your decision because it could turn out to be crap or worse than the other system
*sees xbox 720 announcment and quickly preorders it* DAMMIT!
