Sony PS3 sales up and holding its own: Does it succeed Xbox?

ps3 out of the woods

Sony have got their big heads on and why not, the Sony Corp are performing well it seems and are currently concerned about the strength of the Japanese yen but and a big but, Howard Stringer Sony’s Chief Executive said that Sony’s consumer electronics business was holding up well, despite the U.S. slowdown, with Playstation 3 (PS3) sales improving.

It is said that the Electronics operations account for nearly three quarters of Sony’s total sales; he carries on to say that the Sony PS3 has now gone past Xbox on the Christmas market and is moving into its own as it moves into a higher bandwidth.

The PS3 is now out of the woods and beginning to hold its own he said.

But does it mean that the PS3 succeeds the Xbox though?

PS – We are not causing a war; we just want to make sure everyone knows everything.

    this article is worthless,try something else..like PS3 has more horse power than 360.

  • OMEN

    i meat mark,not “by mark”

  • AK

    Or something like,
    Advertisers and Sony fanboys:
    PS3 has more horse power than 360

    Academic researchers and game developers:
    It is virtually impossible to reach the full potential of PS3, along with the fact 360 has better graphic card, PS3 at best is on par with 360 overall performance wise.

  • duhhh

    who never knew that this WAS going to happen?

    ps3 owned xbox360 ever since it came out…

    @ AK

    You obviously have not played drakes fortune? have ya? 360 is NOT on par with ps3. instead of trying to convince yourself that your busted 360 is cool, go trade it in for a real game machine with the most horsepower! and don`t even try to tell people that any games on the 360 look as good(first party that is) as the ps3! choppy and studdering gameplay on the 360! nough said.

  • duhhh

    360 blows…

    Sony all the way, keep microsoft at computers and lets just throw away the Zune, 360 and ugly hand held phones that they just made…

  • breaker

    ps3 is fire
    its been destroying the 360 in overall sales since
    late november.
    and sony still hasnt brought out its big guns yet

    man im so glad i got a ps3. download divx movies and store on my hard drive. free online and demos, pretty close to 20 demos on the thing. the games are getting better but i still want to see better games that can not be made on 360 using like all 50 gigs on the blu-ray disc. but as for sales its clear that 360 is owning the usa market right now but ps3 is going 10 years and theyll ditch 360 just like xbox after 4 to make a new one and then the ps3 will own there next system because of the huge head start. ps3 is just so Superior compared to 360, games are the same but man like downloading 3 demos at once while playing a game on ps3, you can only dream of that on 360

    Do all of you just make up this shit? Did you personally build the Ps3 with your own 2 hands? Do you have that much of a stake in this console war that its that personal to you? Ps3 fanboys are the absolute WORST. Your precious Ps3 is 3rd, and it will stay there, there is nothing you can do. The Ps3 will still do fine, but it wont dominate like it did for years.

    @maylon

    Your name should be “moron” not maylon! have you seen the sales of the ps3 lately? wait untill the big ones come out this year! the 360 is yesterday, M$ is already working on another xbox so they can get some more of your money. the 360 does nothing but studder and hiccup on every game it has. aside from xbox live, there is no reason to have one!

  • Waleed

    Xbox sux…
    definitley
    does it have much aof a game line up this year…
    mo..
    does it have blu ray
    no…
    does it have better graphics…
    name one xbox game that has better graphics then Uncharted..
    Is xbox 360 beating the Ps3..
    overall maybe but thas about to change..
    You morons Ps#’s sales all over the world have been far superior to the 360′s sales
    since november, and Ps3 will soon surpass the “overall” sales of the 3shitty.

  • Waleed

    Ps3 is way better
