Thanksgiving week brings record game console sales

[Orionlocke]

The PS3 had more sales than Xbox but thats probably because so many people already have the Xbox 360 compared to the amount of people that own a PS3.
It's good to see the hot numbers...means the gaming market is strong!

I'm with orionlocke. I think the Xbox 360 numbers were smaller because of that exact reason. More people already own an xbox 360 compared to other game consoles. But either way, I expect these numbers to only go up as the Christmas and Hanukkah holidays approach. Blackfriday was a good sale, but those numbers WILL go up again. By a lot.

Thanks to uncharted 2 ps3 got so famous, yet xbox 360 got some great games too.. 360 still got a lot to learn.

Good freaking lord, Nintendo! In the time it took me to write this, they could have sold 15 systems!

Whats really a fun thought, I payed over twice the current price for the PS3 when I got it. It didn't come with a game and only has a 60GB HDD, oh and it came with a sixaxis sans rumble. Back then PS3 sales were maybe a tenth what they are now. Sadly I just don't have any interest playing it, the graphics are so bad compared to what my PC can do, I have over a dozen games for it but don't play them. The only thing I use it for is streaming media to my HDTV but even at that my PC is hooked up to that too... I don't regret buying it but I would like to have not purchased half the games I did and instead have got them on PC.

it's finally time to upgrade from ps2 to ps3 .
xbx360 wasn't an option for me really becouse officialy they didn't even sell consoles in my country. snobs

That's a lot of PS3's... To think of it, if each were sold for $300, 440,000 is a bit of money. Then of course, you also have to include how much they spent to purchase the systems to sell but that's still some pretty good money.

Ps3 is selling alot of its console ever since they lowered the price and I assume it will sell big time for Christmas. The xbox sales are really down but I assume its bc alot of people own a xbox already, or maybe 70,000 had to buy a replacement with there ridiculous break rates.

Wii - 18 million units sold in US
360 - 11 million
PS3 - 5.7 mil

Yes 360 has a lot to learn, but from Nintendo; not Sony.

The PS3 awesomeness still in the rise, as u can tell by the huge sales they had does past days.

The deals this year have been fantastic. Retailers are being SO much more aggressive and SO much earlier this year over last. I guess they are trying to max out the Christmas season during this terrible recession and frankly I don't blame them. Now if only Sony will go Rambo on the PS3.
