XBox 360 hits 28million mark

[semiautomatix]

Thanks to massive 2008 second half sales and dominating the games best seller list for 9/12 months of 2008.

EDIT: outselling the PS3 by 1.2million units was also a highlight for the year! So much for 2008 being the year of the PS3

Yet again the xbot's think only america's console sales count

M$
» Xbox 360: 4,735,000

Sony
» PSP: 3,829,500
» PS3: 3,544,100
» PS2: 2,502,700

total 6,046,800 consoles ++ 3,829,500 PSP's



Thus Sony is still on top of M$ concerning total console sales.
M$ do not have any portable playerlike the PSP/DS

WII is the winner!

I also find it interesting that 2.5 million consumers still thought that the PS2 offers more value than the Xbox360.

Thanks for turning another thread into a flame war

Timgaul, it would be better to post that in the 360 discussion...least there wouldnt be any baiting

With that logic, then we should add MS Zune sales.

Windows and Office sales for that matter as well.

Twisted logic worthy of a droid

Likewise the same 2.5mil picked the PS2 over the PS3 too

I find your addition of PSP's and PS2's to PS3 sales figures in relation to 360 sales figures to be utterly ridiculous. You cannot add apples and oranges despite how hard you try.

Think before you type.

next he will be adding bravia's and vaio's to the list

He might as well. They are just as irrelevant to the topic at hand.

His rampant fanboyism has caused him to make it an issue of company versus company instead of product versus product.

I didn't know the PS2 was competing with the 360, explains why Sony is falling behind though

 

[semiautomatix]

+1 I'll agree

So as long as the thread is about the PS3 its okay? Think double standards. Think pot... think kettle... think black.

I agree, I am hardly a fan of Microsoft Windows; yet I love my 360. I don't want a Sony PS3; but I wouldn't buy anything but a Sony Ericsson phone.

Apples with apples people.

Indeed. I've been accused of being a MS fanboy and anti-Sony on here plenty.

I must be a funny kinda MS fanboy seeing as I own a PSP, play my 360 on a Bravia and have only owned Sony-Ericsson phones (prior to my Omnia)

Which is why you're correct in saying that this should be product vs product, not company vs company.

I would have said nothing if you didn't make this remark Mr Kettle

EDIT: outselling the PS3 by 1.2million units was also a highlight for the year! So much for 2008 being the year of the PS3

and like I said it just america's console sale's geezz that's like saying you've won a election with only one third of the vote's counted

Absolutely.

My Samsung 7.1 HDMI receiver is faaaaaaaar better than my Sony worldspace radio.

Okay then, lets take EU and Japanese sales into account and that number almost doubles from 1.2million to 2.2million more units in 2008 than the PS3. Thanks for pointing that out, we'd hate Sony to miss out on the fact that the PS3 was outsold in the EU as well.

Ok that's a nice statement and all but where's your link to prove it. I have a link to add to my statement

Something interesting to read

He never adds links, starts a flame war and then play the poor innocent.
He posted the stats I made a valid observation. Obviously the Xbot fanbois did not like the obvious question. BTW apart from all your fanboi rants here there is no definitive answer given to the observation. I must have touched a nerve.

Then there is the WII. Really scrambling the Xbots eggs. But lets not go there. Lets stick to the topic at hand.

The Xbox360 only sold 1.7 million more consoles than the PS3 with a full year head start. That is to be considered against the background of a higher priced PS3, the lack of PS3 titles and the fact that M$ had to lower the price to stem the tide. Shame! What an horrific achievement. (That will be one weeks PS3 sales during March.)

We will see how M$ is going the stem the tide during 2009.
