A new sermon, the analyst says PS3 sales do not just outsell the Xbox 360 worldwide in 2010, but not by a huge 3.5 million units.
Console Wars
Since its release, nearly five years was for the Xbox 360, and four years for the PS3, the two consoles in my throat each other for the unofficial title of best console of course, measured in total sales. The Wii, which has been consistently both in terms of turnover exceeded by a wide, not really a factor in competition, since it is more of a casual with a different goal and a series of games console. Back on the Xbox 360 and PS3 rivalry that follows and is in a feud PS2 vs Xbox, it was difficult to declare a clear winner, although the Xbox 360 leads in total sales.

Xbox 360 in total
If you look at the current global figures, the Xbox 360 port with a total sold over 40 million units and the PS3 a bit "behind with around 36 million, and earnings power. The PS3, besides being published next year, had a very slow start due to a disastrous start, and some increased prices. price cuts, together with the new version of the PS3 Slim, plus some very impressive play PS3 exclusives like God of War III, heavy rain, or have been very useful to fill the gap. Since the PS3 was almost always at a significant premium to its competitors cheap Xbox first, with the new PS3 slim is the price difference shrunk dramatically, although the Xbox 360 Arcade is still present as more economical option. Although the console from Sony is still behind the total revenue, a new report from Strategy Analytics said, time moves with the PlayStation 3 is selling better than his nemesis Microsoft officially turnover this year by a large margin of 3.5 million and no less.

PS3 to play the part of the Xbox
Strategy Analytics offers Wii sales to 17.5 million years ago affected worldwide, topping 14 million with the PS3 and Xbox 360 is for 10.5 million. They made the most important movements in 2010 for the sale of consoles, it has been accepted in a PlayStation 3. The Wii, for his part, continued to lose speed, but pretty much constant since 2009. They are based on estimates, if the PS3's recent price cut seen in September. They also set new sales of the PS3 is at the expense of the Xbox 360, Sony's console cannibalises enjoy market share of Microsoft. Taking into account the sales of the console for the entire 2010 is expected to decline by 9%, which is definitely Sun Finally, another analyst impetus swing see the meeting eclipsing binaries PS3 and Xbox 360 in total units sold within two years.
Looking at the numbers
Xbox 360 fanboys will point out sold correctly, that the Xbox 360 is really only in two markets, the U.S. and Europe, while the PS3 has strong sales in three major markets, the United States, Japan and the EU. If we in Japan out of the equation, where the Xbox 360 seems to take it, will never embrace someone, then the Xbox 360 still seems dominant terms of sales, even today, still. Meanwhile, the PS3 fanboys should be noted that many people to buy the Xbox 360 are only buying a second, because its first death due to the "red circle of death". The arguments run both ways, and statistics can certainly be interpreted differently.
Does it matter?
The amount of console exclusives are published today less and less. Sure, we had Alan Wake and Mass Effect 2, only for Xbox 360, or "God of War III for PS3 only, but overall, the exclusive titles are always released a rare phenomenon. We also think the franchise would never cross platforms such as Final Fantasy and Tekken were doing it. I will not try to run 360 vs PS3 topic now new to say except to leave a specific hardware, which provide for most players of the two consoles, a more or less identical. Even if you succeeds, the others, this or next year, both platforms still outsell excellent, with a large selection of games and very good reasons for the property.
