Sony Outsells Microsoft Once Again In The Games Division

July 18, 2009 in News comments 42

Playstation 3 is not the only platform Sony has attached to their gaming market. This fact alone will always keep Sony in the leadership position for the videogame industry

This entire year Sony’s game division has been outselling Microsoft’s when it comes down to NPD numbers, but people only look at the Playstation 3 as if that’s Sony’s only platform which isn’t true

      Is this a gimmick account or something?

      Anyway, everyone else saw the faulty logic in the article, so it isn't worth arguing against it. It really is annoying how sites will pureposefully make horrible articles just to get attention and completely succeed.

      Unique thing about hiphopgamer is that they'll make horrible articles for BOTH sides. Wasn't there a 12-part mini-series about how great the 360 was not too long ago on that website? At least they spread the ignorance around evenly...

    Kinda fail considering that they have both the PSP and PS2 still on the market. Of course 3 platforms are going to outsell 1.

    With the PS3 alone, Sony has yet to outsell anyone this year. At least as far as I've heard (enlighten me).

      It's 3 to 2. Microsoft may have stopped supporting the original X Box, but that's their fault. =/

      Still, three should significantly outsell 2 in any case.

    I'm sure that if Microsoft had 3 platforms out at the same time it would own sony's numbers, this is just a fanboy article bending the truth to make them look like the winner

      Well, it could be fanboyish . . . or it could be trying to combat all the "Oh, Sony is SO fail lately they are going to go bankrupt they are a horrible company and just fail. Fail Sony failed epically . . . SONY = PHAIL!!!" By taking note that Sony has 3 systems out there and is far from "phail" just because the PS3 is facing a little bit of roughness every so often.

      Of course, considering the source, It's just not too wise to attribute logic.

    And yet Sony fails to outsell Microsoft with just the PS3's numbers of sales.

    Damn Hiphopgamer is just an idiotic and annoying site nowadays anyway.

    It's Microsoft's fault for not

    1) Continuing to support the origianl Xbox

    and

    2) Not creating a handheld product

    Microsoft fail.

      well since the ps2 was the cheapest console and easy for devs to make games on of course there is still slight support.

    you know what it's really funny how you guys say that this is fanboy article or something. check it out right, around the entire internet people always talk about NPD numbers as if those are the only numbers that make up the sales in the industry, also they only talk about PS3 when they mention Sony.

    Apple has ipods but is that their only product no so why isn't it apart of the revenue fact sheet. Sony has 3 platforms, microsoft has 1 and month after month the PS2, PSP, PS3 all represents Sony game division and that right there is the point of my article and also if you read the title you'll know that I was judging on a platform to platform basis.

      Why the hell do we need an article to tell us that 3 consoles are outselling 1.


      Jeez why not go create an article on why chocolate is more popular than dog shit while your at it.

      In fact, you basically stole the article from here.

      Your article still Fails; much like a lot of the stuff coming from HHGS.com. Not only do you have a religious hippy spouting out speculative and uninformed BS (Master Samo, lookin' at you) who talks to us like we're beneath him all the time, but your articles just have an air of uneducated ignorance about them.

      HAVE SOME COMMON SENSE.

    Can we just, I don't know, ban www.hiphopgamershow.com? All I hear from there is bullshit upon bullshit upon bloody bullshit. Does GameGrep really need this crap? It's just such a try-hard "hey look we're gangsta gamers!" site that doesn't have any real quality whatsoever.

    Final Fantasy Fanaticc, I highly suggest you shut up. YOU know nothing. So take you and your worthless comments and just go. Please. This is for discussion.

    I'm here defending the PS3 with factual evidence, and all you can say is 'shut up'.

    It's pretty obvious who fails, here.

    PWNED.

        How am I being a fanboy? You know what, you fail because I actually used to own an Xbox 360. Fanboy accusation? Fail.

        The fact of the matter is Microsoft has not entered the handheld market, so their sales are lower. DEAL WITH IT. For christ's sake, they don't even provide support for the original X-Box. That's all this article is proving.

        Why don't you stop judging me based on a few comments I made, and stop throwing around accusations? That would solve this.

          It doesnt prove shit. What kind of jack ass needs telling that Microsoft is not in the hand-held market and that they don't support the original xbox because the 360 is out. Obviously you do.

        I don't think he's a fanboy per se, he's just a complete moron who got dragged into the wars. I mean, even when not discussing console-ish fanboy bullshit around Neoseeker he's a *bleep*ing Rtard.

          Um, exscuse me? When the hell have I ever met you, and more importantly, who the hell are you to judge me? I don't need you to back me up on the fanboy issue, but for you to call me a 'rtard'? Go *bleep* yourself, Hideo.

          I don't especially condone the throwing about of the word fanboy, nor do I appreciate others judging each other based on simple text on a website. To speak so condescendingly about someone when you know so little about them is hardly respectable.

          Not that I'm agreeing with Kave's points, not even close, but you're just being an ass, Hideo.

    I beg to differ. If I needed to be told, I wouldn't have known it, moron. And, that Xbox claim is false. The Ps3's out, and Sony still supports the Ps2. So, fail.

      Your a real idiot aren't you. Sony hardly support the PS2. The Developers support it because it has a MASSIVE install base and generates profits for them. THE ORIGINAL XBOX DOESN'T DO THAT, Plus the Xbox 360 has been out since 05 and so developers have more of a chance of generating a profit on the 360 than on the xbox. WHICH IS WHY YOU HARDLY SEE NO GAMES FOR IT ANY MORE, BECAUSE ITS POINTLESS FOR DEVELOPERS TO DO SO. Why are Microsoft going to waste money on making first party titles for a system no one buys any more.

      Obviously you do need to be told if you cant figure that out for yourself. The only thing that is failing here is your arguments, and there failing hard.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA has anybody bothered reading the comments on the actual site? It's absolutely hilarious. It's like HHGS.com is where all the ret@rds congregate. I love how their community gangs up and chastises anybody who tries to state the *bleep*ing truth about the misleading article. Ignorance, thy name is Hip Hop Gamer Show.

    Typical Microsoft.

    Honestly I don't know how they do it, How does the Xbox 360 (for example) support itself? I know it has it's share of games and the whole Internet-compatibility-w00t-COD-Online-with-annoying-8-year-olds!!!1!11!!!11!1!

    But how the 360 works really doesn't make it worth it TBH...

    Is it really news that 3 consoles are beating one? I thought that would be *bleep*ing obvious.

    It's like having a professional wrestler in the ring with 3 other professional wrestlers. Sure, maybe he could beat them seperatly but with all 3 facing him at once someone is going to be pile-drived.

    How many SKU they sale is not important.
    Sony claims to lose money on each PS3 and Microsoft lost 1 B$ on their warranty extension alone... But Microsoft has a huge advantage on Sony , they have the gold subscription !
