"Since it was debated whether PS3 passed the 360 or not"
So... What are the 360's numbers?
If I'm not mistaken, the last known number for PS3 was "83.8+ " , and "84+" for x360.
i wish the gave a number for vita too, all we have are estimates.
Last numbers we have is 84 million as of June 2014."Since it was debated whether PS3 passed the 360 or not"

Vita doesn't exist. We all know that.i wish the gave a number for vita too, all we have are estimates
Yup, huge loss of money till the very endDecent numbers but the console nearly put Sony out of business. So it's still kind of a failure.

why sell something when you're not making money off of it just to hit an arbitrary number?Congrats to PS3, should have sold a few more for cheap to hit 100.
man piracy really fucked over the PSP.You could add sw shipments update to the op too:
Before this the last PS3 only figure we had was 595 million. 999.4 million puts PS3 only behind PS2 in terms of sw sales.

a difference of ~3.4 millions when talking about ~85 millions is far behind?
So in the best generation of Xbox in history and the worst generation of PlayStation, X360 still far behind PS3!

In relation to the status quo Sony actually lost the generation.
Vita is Sony's Virtual Boy, you won't get numbers for it.i wish the gave a number for vita too, all we have are estimates.
crazy to think 3 out of 4 PS home consoles will end up selling more than 100 million.
Luckily for them Xbox messed up so now they are back up to their crazy sized audience of 100 million+. Ps4 should hit around 130 when it's all done. Pretty good Id say. ANd still breaking records.In relation to the status quo Sony actually lost the generation.
She made less money (yeah, even less that that disaster of 360), almost killing her self and most importantly she lost a monopoly in one single gen.
Few millions more is not really a victor for the price paid
oh i guess you're right, attach rates for handhelds are usually lower than consoles.Well it's also handheld. GBA for example shipped ''only'' 377 million units of sw so not that much more. Another example is how DS is at 948 million for sw shipments. Lower than PS3 despite huge difference in hw sales.
I wouldn't say the very end it was losing lots but overall it was a huge sinkhole.
The big take here is by the next quarter the ps3 will cross the billion mark!You could add sw shipments update to the op too:

Yeah but xbox was launched earlier and had a sales lead for longer so that only makes sense.Sony sold more hardware last gen by a short margin but I read attach rate was better on the 360 (more software sold).
The one i always find funny is them saying "It took Sony years to catch up to 360 so it wasnt a success", ignoring the fact that PS3 was outselling 360 from day 1, launch aligned.Yeah it's always weird to read that so many people say Sony lost the PS360 generation. It's very close and it looks like PS3 slightly outsold the 360. It was such a head to head race that I don't see a clear "winner".
Looking at PS3 software numbers that seems unlikely.Sony sold more hardware last gen by a short margin but I read attach rate was better on the 360 (more software sold).
Yup, both generation started with a player committing seppouku, but PS4 went beyond a simple Xbox suicideLuckily for them Xbox messed up so now they are back up to their crazy sized audience of 100 million+. Ps4 should hit around 130 when it's all done. Pretty good Id say. ANd still breaking records.

It's still technically debatable since we do not have updated figures for Xbox 360, but it is unlikelythought this was worth a new thread especially since it was debated whether PS3 passed the 360 or not. Thanks to ArmGunar for finding this.
I wouldn't say it was "far behind" there may be a few million in between but they look like they're in the same ballpark.So in the best generation of Xbox in history and the worst generation of PlayStation, X360 still far behind PS3!
it's behind wii by about 14 million units.Did it pass the Wii? I always assumed the Wii was the highest selling console of the generation just because I don't know a single person that didn't have one but never actaully heard about whether that was true or not.
You already know the numbers. You are probably the only one who bought it
Yeah, it's unfortunate.i wish the gave a number for vita too, all we have are estimates.

So close yet so far. They were idiots launching ard 600 a year after.
Didn't Microsoft announce a new Xbox 360 at E3 2015 that looked similar to the Xbox One?
We already knew this for years :) PS3 outsold the Xbox 360 with a couple of millions. And the PS3 launched 1 year later. Still very impressive for a $599 monster at launch ;DSo in the best generation of Xbox in history and the worst generation of PlayStation, X360 still far behind PS3!
The PS3 did outsell it. Even tho it launched 1 year later.Yeah it's always weird to read that so many people say Sony lost the PS360 generation. It's very close and it looks like PS3 slightly outsold the 360. It was such a head to head race that I don't see a clear "winner".
hohohohoohohohohoooooo Hot damn sonYou already know the numbers. You are probably the only one who bought it
