Most of these figures are for units shipped, not sold.

Couldn't you also say that about the Japanese and the PS3? Them being a Japanese company.

Have you any evidence it's getting bigger? Surely you would have to see the sales volume for 360 and Wii for the same length period to make a valid comaprison. That graph shows nothing for anyone (even though in reality we all know Wii is outselling everyone!)

ok so I take it back .... on a worldwide sales totals the gap between the 360 and PS3 is only growing slightly in the favour of the 360 but it's only a tiny amount month on month.

the website that the first pic came from is good for looking at the stats and allows you to allign the launch dates to get a better look.

He is an obvious Sony fanatic, and frequently stoops to personal insults whenever he is losing an argument, but an infraction does seem a bit harsh. I'm just ignoring him now

As for the sales, I suspect it's the software side that's hurting Sony at the moment. Great machine, but without games it's just an expensive paperweight. When / if they finally get some decent stuff running, I'd expect to see that gap shrinking again. I just hope it doesn't go the way of the PSP (I'm still waiting for some "killer" games for mine)...

He's on the wind up of course but hell half the posts about consoles are of that nature. Wouldn't be many people left in here going by that

I have not made any personal insults
I just predict that the PS3 will come out on top yet again. I agree with you about the PSP though.

Don't see the point of consoles anyway when we've all got PCs. Plus the games are cheaper with better graphics.

True but it gets expensive having to upgrade the PC every couple months for it to cope!

My xbox 360 cost less than my last pc graphics card on its own, plus I can play it in comfort in the living room on my 42" plasma, with full cinema surround sound. I also don't have to install anything, worry about downloading endless patches etc... The pc doesn't come close to that experience.

"An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, has come to mean someone who intentionally posts messages about sensitive topics constructed to cause controversy in an online community"

You don't have any useful input on the subject and just like to try a provoke others into arguments. Quite simple really.

Come off it Dunk, He's no worse than the people that post Anti PS3 sentiment - and there is no lack of that here.

I think the PSP and PS3 have both suffered from the fact that Gran Turismo Mobile and 5, respectfully, keep getting delayed. I imagine PS3 sales to shoot up once it is released.

I don't own a PS3 btw

Console discussions are now a sensitive subject? Are we scoobynetters really that emotionally unstable

Only reason why I got a PSP was for GT mobile
