The fight still goes on with Microsoft’s Xbox 360 battling it out with the PlayStation 3.
As it stands for the sale figures Microsoft’s Xbox 360 has out sold the PlayStation 3 5:1 in September, showing a 50% increase from August sales, that’s an average of 105,600 consoles per week.
Total sales were more than 528,000 Xbox 360 consoles sold, compared to 119,000 for PS3.
Sony continues to insist that it doesn’t really care about sales over Christmas 2007, and is instead concentrating on mass market appeal for Christmas 2008.

Xbox360 EVERY TIME .. the graphics are excellent and the online play is 1st Class,,,,,,,,,I play “Oblivion” as often as my husband Glads92(gamertag) will LET ME !!!!! And heloves his Halo 3 and Madden NFL 08 and Gears of war of course..Microsoft keep up the VERY good work you do.. Sony , FORGET IT ALREADY ..!!
Which Xbox 360, which Playstation 3? The only console this generation that has been consistant has been the Wii. There are more random varients of the two more expensive consoles than I can keep track of, it’s madness. I would never buy either console, the 360’s terrible track record of failure and the Playstation becoming progressively worse hardware to buy. If the Playstation 3 with the full Playstation 2 compatability and a decent sized harddrive was available, I’d buy it. But the closest thing to a decently priced Playstation 3 isn’t worth buynig because it has no backwards compatability.
You guys should get a lot hits on this one. I prefer PS3 just so you know.
Sony also said that they are going to have a big holiday this year going strong to having a bigger 2008. They have not given up on holiday 2007 season
The 3 reasons that I love my XBOX360:
1. The GAMES. Why else do you buy a game console??
2. XBOX Live. Pretty damned stout online service for only 50 bucks a year.
3. Such easy integration into my existing home network. After all, it is Microsoft ya know.
4. The GAMES!!!!
5. The GAMES!!!!!!!!!!
Sony cares about ‘07 sales, but what are they supposed to say? They can tell you about their plans for success in the future or admit their recent numbers are terrible.
One, you are correct, there will be LOTS of bashing going on in the comments before long here. I would love to have a PS3, I just havent been able to justify the purchase. The PS3 will have a ton of great games soon, so maybe this cheaper version will suit me. I dont have any PS2 titles to worry about!
So where is this 5 to 1? What are the figures? How were they compiled? I smell bullshit.
The funny thing about these NPD figures is that the PS3 is still selling at a steady rate. The large jump in X360 sales is only due to Halo3 - A real system seller.
But, now that Halo3 is out, that sales spike will possibly shrink. MS will still have a great christmass, but I think that Christmass 08 will be a completely different matter.
The 360 outsold the PS3 5 to 1 in September in the US. Good for 360. The only thing that would worry me though is that this is the biggest game on the 360 and it barely outsold the Wii and it can only outsell the PS3 (with its no games and high price tag) 5 to 1? Remember this is the best the 360 will get in terms of hype.
hey yer ps3 is heaps better then 360. the grathics are heaps better and i can prove it i got a 360 and a ps3 and put dem on full HD tvs and guess wat ps3 floged 360 and u might think that the games are gay but next year they are gona bring out heaps more new games. Microsoft ur only good a softwere and that is it.
