There's a 7 month gap in the data with the 360 being 4 million in the green, no one knows what the PS3 sold in that period of time, and no one until today knew what it sold total. There's another roughly 2 years of Xbox 360 sales data not accounted for after their 84 million release. It's still unknown which actually sold more, this information released today doesn't get anyone closer to knowing which sold more. Unless Microsoft comes out with it directly it will remain forever unknown. The PS4 numbers are well known.... the numbers can be subtracted to get the PS3 number.... nice try. I'll Google it later to find it. Nov 2013 is not the last official number for PS3 that Sony gave..... interestingly.... MS number for 360 was also at 80 million Nov 2013. PS3 launched a year and a half after 360 and was able to catch it and surpass it in the end... which tells me the PS3 sold at a faster rate than 360. Link to post Share on other sites

You're not going to find it because it wasn't just mixed with PS4, it was mixed in with "gaming hardware". Also no, Microsoft's was 84 million in June 2014, they were at 80 million in October which was a month before Sony. Link to post Share on other sites

It's impossible to derive which system sold more. Take that up with Microsoft, that's not my problem. Link to post Share on other sites

Whatever the actual outcome of this was probably rests in the tens of thousands. Sony ended at 87.4 million shipped, Microsoft's last report was June of 2014 at 84 million shipped, that leaves them 18-24 months of sales not accounted for. That's a pretty small gap and a lot of time to fill it, especially with relevant releases and crossgen titles still being a reality. Edited April 27, 2019 by DynamiteCop!

You live in an alternate reality, I'm the only one being rational. Sales momentum is not linear though, it's not a metric of physics like it is in the real world. Trends change, interests change and can on a dime so it really is impossible to speculate about that. I mean look at NPD for a 6/7 month period after its 84 million announcement, just in that time the 360 moved 729,000 units and that's with October data missing, in the US it was handily beating the PS3. NPD went dark after this for PS360 but that's basically 800k in the US just for the rest of 2014, the US was roughly 60% of the 360's market so that leaves the rest of the world. The system was still in production for another 16 months beyond this and shipments no doubt went out even beyond that for at least a few months. I mean that's at least 1.1 million in 7 months. There's no reason to think the PS3 beat it, and there's no reason to think the 360 beat the PS3. It's so up in the air with the remainder of missing data that it's just not possible to say one way or the other in any kind of definitive manner that one for sure did better than the other. June 2014 360 - 62k PS3 - 42k July 2014 360 - 54k PS3 - 32k August 2014 360 - ~50k PS3 - ~27k September 2014 360 - 63k PS3 - 35k October 2014 Unknown November 2014 360 ~ 310K PS3 ~ 89K December 2014 360 ~ 190k+ PS3 Unknown Edited April 27, 2019 by DynamiteCop!

Insane amount of sales, but ultimately it ended up being exactly what it was (albeit with great games)... a fad. Everyone I know who had a Wii never played it beyond Wii Sports and some Nintendo exclusives (like SMG). I probably won't ever turn mine on again... nothing about it interests me and I wish they'd bring SMG over to the Switch. Microsoft and Sony both tried to get in on it and both failed. 10 years later and the PlayStation Move actually has a purpose with VR... Microsoft took it to the next level though and bet on their next generation system with it. What a bunch of dumbasses. Edited April 27, 2019 by lynux3 Link to post Share on other sites
