The PS3's issue was squarely on its shit catalog at launch, they fixed that relatively quickly, PS5 is already at that point but the catalog is even worse than it was at launch and they're dealing with the censorship and woke shit that alienates a large proportion of the market.
Not in Japan, which is insanely unprecedented, xbox has always been extremely niche in Japan, legit often selling less than 100 units each week to the thousands PS and Nintendo move, not this gen, Series S/X is legit outselling PS5, Sony has officially lost the eastern market.

No games, snoy. No games. The only people buying it are brown people who only PS as a status symbol, like they do put bulls and shoes.

idk man a lot of people use microsoft word, i'm inclined to trust it
Two weeks actually, but yes, PS5 sold more than the Xbox in lifetime sales.
The point is, Xbox is actually selling in Japan, something completely unprecedented considering previous gens would at most see 300 units sold in a good week. XBone if you recall wasn't released there until months after the rest of the world, because Microsoft knew it was a lost market.
Only due to a stronger launch. Weekly and monthly sales since november have the PS5 in last place nearly 100% of the time. The gap gets narrower every week, and the momentum is in xbox's court.
Not on YTD sales, sony has that big 5m lead but only because they had way more units ready for launch, after that Xbox has been outselling PS5 on most markets most of the time (except japan and evne then Xbox did it for 2 weeks).
No they didn't. Microsoft had far more software sales than sony, and that's where the money is really at. That plus microsoft really squeezed people out of money for an online service that didn't need to have a fee attached. tl;dr more people bought 360 games than ps3 games.
they bounced back literally at the end of the gen and ONLY because it was the start of microsoft's dark ages with the kinect and no good games for the 360 coming out
The Kinect was only one factor, by that point Sony had dropped the PS3 to an affordable $300 with the slim and 360gays that experienced Dark Souls now realized that Demon's Souls existed and many got a PS3 to play it because the DeSgays would not shut up about how it was the superior game. There was also TLoU for more casual gamers and by that point HD-DVD had lost the format war so the PS3 being a bluray player was still attractive.
>Back the internet connections were so bad, that online gaming didn't matter that much.
this was maybe true for the original xbox, not the fricking 360. that was when online multiplayer truly went mainstream
Even I thought I was crazy for buying one at launch. It didn't have shit for awhile either, but I knew it'd get better. I do not feel that way about the PS5.
Most people bought the 20gb Xbox 360 which was 399. It didn't have wifi, hdmi, blu ray and had a 20gb hard drive. PS3 had a 20gb version that didn't have wifi, hdmi, had a 20gb hard drive but it did have blu ray.
The 299 core Xbox 360 is absolute shit. You had a fricking megabytes sized memory card that couldn't save anything plus wired controllers oh and composite cables. And it did not sell that well.
Yeah Xbox 360 didn't get HDMI until Slim models were out. But there were some VGA cables that could put you to 1080p with a fat one or you could go to 1080i with komponent cables.
Yeah XBOX 360 didn't get HDMI until Slim models were out. But there were some VGA cables that could put you to 1080p with a fat one or you could go to 1080i with komponent cables.
Paid 399 for his 360. And has to pay 50 bucks a year for XBOX live. And by end of it he probably had to at least once return the 360 under warranty due to it red ringing.
PS3 guy
Paid 499 for his 20GB PS3 (has the same features as 399 360 and Blu Ray). Online is free so after 2 years he is actually better off than the 360 guy. And he has a very small chance for yellow light of death compared to almost 50/50 chance of the red ring happening.
It's a cheaper initial buy-in which gets people to purchase it because thinking 2 years into the future is beyond most people. A lot of companies do this, it's the Gillette strategy where they sell you the razor for cheap but charge for the blades so it adds up over time.
Yeah people see the 299 dollar 360 Core (the absolute cheapest 360) and compare it to the 60gb ps3 (most expensive ps3) that's 599 bucks.
When with the core they need to buy a memory card or a seperate HDD because it came with zero memory. And you probably have to buy a new controller even if you only use it because the controller is wired. And you need to buy new component cables and eventually a third party hdmi converter because it only came with composite cables. And also add xbox live which costs 50 bucks a year.
My question is why the frick would you use one? Nothing on 360 ran at true 1080 and all the TVs from that time had component (and often VGA which the 360 also supported). Using a converter just gave you a shittier experience. Using an HDMI converter is maximum zoomercore, along with using wifi instead of ethernet
Look up the games that the ps3 started with vs the games the ps5 started with. The former were experimental and fun. The latter are gay and formulaic, not to mention pozzed. The only reason why the PS3 failed initially was because of the price.
They lack the strong Japanese niche they had then, and little brand identity/IP other than ugly movie shit propped up by fake bundle sales numbers. MS has also massively tipped the scales on so many former cross plat hits. Once upon a time, Playstation could function as a "Blue Xbox" with a lot dudebro Western shit, but it can't even do that now.

Sony Expects PS5 Will Be its “Biggest Ever Platform"
>https://twinfinite.net/2022/05/sony-playstation-business-segment-briefing/ >PS5 expected to sell 160 million, outselling the ps2's record
Haters btfo, holy shit
The PlayStation 4 was the most gameless console I have ever seen, there is nary a game in its entire library. Why, it is so without games, the Wii U had Zero, yet it STILL has more games than the PS4.
There are tons of Japanese PS4/NS games out there. That made the PS4 both have games, an identity, and be worth owning one.
PS5 however is going to be merely one of the many targets of multiplats. Everything will be PS5/XSX/NS/PC from now on, except for one or two first party games per year.
Things have never been this homogenized. The choice between PS5 and XSX will not depend on the games, but on their retail availability and online services/ecosystem.
Nothing about the PS3 screamed playing the long game. Sony lost so much money with the PS3, that they weren't able to recoup the money within the generation, no matter how many units sold. The launch of the PS3 was that bad.
No, they no longer have to studios or ip to bounce back, they can die in fire for killing their soul or should I say selling their soul to BlackRock and Vanguard.
they bounced back with the PS3. They'll do it again with the PS5.
The PS3's issue was squarely on its shit catalog at launch, they fixed that relatively quickly, PS5 is already at that point but the catalog is even worse than it was at launch and they're dealing with the censorship and woke shit that alienates a large proportion of the market.
isn't PS5 winning over xbox when it comes to sales?
Yes but they've squandered all momentum from the PS4 when they should be able to carry it forward with complete backwards compatibility.

theres a shortage because sony has no money
>Not in Japan
No dude, that was ONE WEEK of sales, not total.
Total sales in Japan:
Xbox: 230,000
PS5: 1.9 MILLION
Two weeks actually, but yes, PS5 sold more than the Xbox in lifetime sales.
The point is, Xbox is actually selling in Japan, something completely unprecedented considering previous gens would at most see 300 units sold in a good week. XBone if you recall wasn't released there until months after the rest of the world, because Microsoft knew it was a lost market.
Lol no PissStation is getting ass pounded Iike the homos and trannies who buy it and Snoy is on its way out of the gaming industry.
Only due to a stronger launch. Weekly and monthly sales since november have the PS5 in last place nearly 100% of the time. The gap gets narrower every week, and the momentum is in xbox's court.

homie PS3 had more exclusives in its 1st year than PS5. Hell PS3 had more Games than even PS4+5 combined by now.
bruh back then you had to pay for 360 online and had to worry about red ring of death how was that wallet friendly
In the sense that it wasn't being sold for FIVE HUNDRED NINETY NINE US DOLLARS presumably
>canadian price only $60 more
The good ol days before Trudeau crashed the dollar to appeal to manufacturing interests out east
Back the internet connections were so bad, that online gaming didn't matter that much.
And afaik microsoft send replacements to every rrod'd console for free.
zoom zoom
>Back the internet connections were so bad, that online gaming didn't matter that much.
this was maybe true for the original xbox, not the fricking 360. that was when online multiplayer truly went mainstream
It wasn't 699€ or what the frick PS3 was on release. And that was a frickton more more money than today's 699€
Even I thought I was crazy for buying one at launch. It didn't have shit for awhile either, but I knew it'd get better. I do not feel that way about the PS5.
599 USD in 2006 is the equivalent of $770 when the PS5 launched. 360 was selling for $299 or $399 which are $380 or $510 when SeX launched.
Most people bought the 20gb Xbox 360 which was 399. It didn't have wifi, hdmi, blu ray and had a 20gb hard drive. PS3 had a 20gb version that didn't have wifi, hdmi, had a 20gb hard drive but it did have blu ray.
The 299 core Xbox 360 is absolute shit. You had a fricking megabytes sized memory card that couldn't save anything plus wired controllers oh and composite cables. And it did not sell that well.
The original X360 didn't have HDMI? wtf
Yeah Xbox 360 didn't get HDMI until Slim models were out. But there were some VGA cables that could put you to 1080p with a fat one or you could go to 1080i with komponent cables.
PS3 60gb was the first console with HDMI.
Not having wifi is a positive.
My 2008 fat 360 has HDMI.
Oh yeah. For 2005 and 2006 models there was no HDMI. Somewhere around 2007 fat ones received HDMI.
Yeah, my borther has one. They even had a special revision of the motherboard that used the 65nm cpu but without HDMI to replace the 90nm models
to be fair xbox live used to be worth the money since people actually talked in multiplayer games
Xbox 360 guy
Paid 399 for his 360. And has to pay 50 bucks a year for XBOX live. And by end of it he probably had to at least once return the 360 under warranty due to it red ringing.

Very quickly the 360 becomes a worse deal.
>hdmi converter
What is wrong with you?
It didn't have HDMI and there were 3rd party dongles that would allow you to get HDMI from a non HDMI 360.
My question is why the frick would you use one? Nothing on 360 ran at true 1080 and all the TVs from that time had component (and often VGA which the 360 also supported). Using a converter just gave you a shittier experience. Using an HDMI converter is maximum zoomercore, along with using wifi instead of ethernet
I think there might have been XBOX branded official converters. But there were 3rd party ones like Mad Catz and this gamestop one.
Look up the games that the ps3 started with vs the games the ps5 started with. The former were experimental and fun. The latter are gay and formulaic, not to mention pozzed. The only reason why the PS3 failed initially was because of the price.

honestly now that microsoft bought a bunch of studios they're back in the game
PS3 only came on strong due to Nintendo and Xbox shitting the bed. Xbox started focusing on Kinect shit while Nintendo had awful shit like Wii Music

Zero?

>can't even produce ps5s
doa
PS3 didn't age well, honestly.
No. Snoy are about as bad as Nintendo right now and they seem to be uninterested in changing.
No, that would require good games without controversy. Not happening
no, nintendo and pc are all you really need now
if they do it would be legendary
everything will be digital streaming next gen.
Ps5 is outselling the cuckbox so its ok
Total? Yes
The past 8 months? Definitely not
>ps4 outsells xbone 110M+ to ~50M
>ps5 was only at 14M to 9M last September
