PS3 has outsold Xbox 360 in Europe


Recommended Posts

Xbox was better than PS2

and PS3 is better than XBOX360

(when you combine every single feature of a specific console)

end of discussion. Anyone saying something against this above statement has no idea about technology.

It is as clear as How ferrari is better car than porsche (only some duche porsche owners would say its better than ferrari because well they have a porsche instead of ferrari)

PS3 better than XBOX360 and of course it will sell more in Europe and Asia. But in USA people are obsessed with XBOX360

I don't think its quite that clear cut. I don't agree that either console is better than the other. In 2/3 years time we will more than likely see a difference as I honestly believe that the PS3 has lots more to untap than the 360 (and when developers stop using the 360 as lead platform) but at this point they are very comparable. Both have great exclusive and non exclusive games and any true gamer should own both.

I don't know how Sony manages to outsell 360 even after releasing a system with 12 month gap with the closest competitor. Also not having any good games for 6+ months after the system released, either he's shooting star or Europe has totally ******* gamers who don't know how to by a gaming system.

No offence but if you see a high prices, no good games and dust collecting console and you buy that thing it's pretty much clear your are a f**b** and nothing else. I do agree I have 2 PS3's myself but I like many other sane gamer bought after the prices was lowered and when they started releasing good games (Like Ninja Gaiden, GT5, etc).

I just don?t for out my money for any company because I used to like their product.

I have a PS3 and the ONLY reason it is collecting dust is due to the fact that I am moving around the country for 8 months and can't bring it with me.

Also who cares about what you think about the system, it is just what was stated about hardware sales not "does Neo003 agree taht its a good system?"

well...

bluray Games Console... no movie player

swappable harddisk yeah, so does the 360, with the difference that the average consumer an swap a 360 HDD.

wi-fi support yeah, so does the 360, with the difference that I can CHOOSE if I want a slow wireless network instead of a proper wired onefree PSN yeah, thast's what happens when it's not worth charging for. just wait untill the PSN becomes fully developed and they get to the point that fre vs Live isn't a selling point anymore.

some PS3 exclusive games but they are head to head with XBOX360 not sure what you're trying to say with this point.

much lower fail rate as well

well not if you count the falcon models that are for sale today, and then there's the whole 3 year warranty and all that.

PS3 is sure a better machine than 360...

No they're pretty much equal except the 360 has more good games for now.

looks better as well.

compeltely subjevtice and a wholeheartedly disagree, the PS3 is a chromed BBQ/toaster, and the bulging look isn't nearly as nice as the sleed inwards curves of the 360. and the 360 is white. 100 bonus points right there. the 360 also comes in a lot more color choices and custom paint jobs such as the Halo version. and more limited editions such as 300, GTA IV and some other movie and games customs.

That is the worst come back post I've ever read.

I noticed you took the time to point out why this is and back it up with good reasoning and all this,

intead of just dropping in a fanboy "you're wrong" comment... oh wait... :rolleyes:

You're making yourself sound just as bad as Alfista.

You need proof as to why thats a shocking come back? Then call me the fanboy?

Oh. Dear.

^^^You do need to give good reasoning when you say stuff like that, because, quite frankly, your comment is a load of **** as it is without any reasoning.

Funny how its only you two that require an explanation. Seems others see the angle I'm coming from.

If you believe what he posted, and are happy to accept it - fine. I'm not arguing with you. If you're happy with your blinkered view, I'm happy for you.

I gave a post with explanations of my points and why things are better or worse.

you go and say

"The PS3 Roxorz and the 360 i pure utter crap" (some exagaration may have occured)

and when we ask why, or for you to explain why my points aren't good enough, your comeback is

"I don't need to explain it, because it's just the truth and you guys are dumb"

Seriusly, do you not see the fault here, do you not realize you sound like the worst blindfolded Sony fanboy ever ?

honestly, and I don't mean this as an insult, I just want to know, how old are you ?

oh and by others, you apparently mean audioboxer, since h's the only one that's replied, and he didn't say he disagreed with my points, just that I may be overly defensive of the 360 :p

wich is good, with all the agreeing me and him have been doing in the piracy threads, I was worried the world was coming to and end soon :p

That's a big lol at this guy ^ :laugh:

Whatever happened to good ol' Neowinian discussion? :D

You cant discuss with people that won't listen. Its impossible. People have this image that the PS3 is a big bag of crap. I'm getting a little bored of telling people its not, so I thought I would just give in. Its easier, stops the thread getting locked because of a pathetic argument. I think you all know where I stand on the 'how good is the PS3' debate/

People are still throwing the 'PS3 has no games' line around! Its a joke.

If people want to think they have the best console and the PS3 can't touch it because it inferior in everyway, let 'em. They are missing out, not me.

But that's the thing, we are all listening! The only difference is, we're replying with argumentative points and actual opinions. You don't seem to care to do that.

It's one thing to not want to get into a whole "PS3 does have games!" "Not really" "Yes it does!" circle of doom, but it's a completely different thing to reply to someones detailed post about very specific features of the 360 vs PS3 and say something like, "Valid points? Not really..." or whatever you said. You just can't do that, it doesn't provide anything for the discussion and makes you sound like a *gasp*fanboy*gasp*.

If you didn't think his points were valid, you had 2 options:

1 - Say so and explain why.

2 - Move on.

I'm sorry, but you're quickly gaining the reputation of someone seeing your name come up in a discussion and taking everything you say with some expected spin.

Fine, points taken.

I didn't realise this was a proper discussion board. From now on you will get my reasons behind my thinking - god help you all.

Haha, I chuckled. :laugh:

I'm looking forward to some interesting discussions I'm sure we'll have... :devil: :p

I've come from a rather fanboy full site and the normal one sentence replies usually sufficed. Seemed strange being called a fanboy when I own both a 360 and a PS3 (and play & enjoy them both). Hopefully this place will be better than that.

I kid. :laugh:

    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.

    • Microsoft Weekly: 5 years of Windows 11, more support for Windows 10, and expensive Xbox by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft giving Windows 10 one more year of support, Windows 11 getting new taskbar settings in preview updates, Steam Machine prices, higher XBOX prices, and many more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. On June 24, 2026, Windows 11 turned five. The controversial operating system was released half a decade ago, and during these years, it received a fair share of criticism (such as poor Windows Search and its web results), which Microsoft is now actively addressing with regular preview updates that deliver missing, long-requested features. With Windows 12 nowhere to be seen on the horizon, it will be interesting to see if Windows 11 can stay on the market for as long as Windows 10 did. Speaking of Windows 10 and staying on the market, this week, Microsoft quietly prolonged the Extended Security Updates program for Windows 10, allowing users to get one more year of security updates if they do not want or cannot upgrade to Windows 11. Finally, Microsoft released this month's non-security update for Windows 11. KB5095093 arrived with a traditionally long list of new features, including point-in-time restore, new Windows Update settings, quieter Windows Widgets, new accessibility features, File Explorer updates and performance improvements, and more. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Build 29617.1000 and build 28120.2374 These builds bring new accessibility features, new Windows Update controls, audio improvements, and more. Dev Channel Build 26300.8758 This build includes redesigned taskbar settings, File Explorer improvements, and more. Beta Channel Build 26220.8754 and build 28020.2366 This small update fixes the OneDrive bug in File Explorer, tweaks system sounds in dark mode, and more. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. If you use AI-powered browsing history search in Microsoft Edge, the company has bad news. A new update on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap revealed that Microsoft is discontinuing the feature. Despite using on-device models for natural search, some users found it creepy, claiming that Microsoft lacks trust in features like this. While the ability to find pages without using 100% precise words may sound cool, customers argued that it was nothing but another feature to bloat the browser with more AI. Good riddance? PowerToys received several updates this week. For one, Microsoft released version 0.100.1 with several improvements and bug fixes for the recently arrived version 0.100. A couple of days later, Microsoft dropped another update, this time fixing memory leaks in Command Palette Dock. In addition, the company is working on a new module that will make it easier to switch between windows within one application using the Alt + ` shortcut. The new module should make it to the stable release somewhere soon. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: New Ventoy update adds Windows 11's mandatory update support and more Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with chat cost tracking and multi-agent chats Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" Microsoft adds new AI study and teaching tools for free to Microsoft 365 Education Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams Microsoft's fast coding model, MAI-Code-1-Flash, comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: AMD Radeon Software 26.6.2 with FSR 4.1 support for RDNA 3 graphics card. However, the driver contained a bug, which prevented installations on Windows 10 PCs. AMD fixed that with a quick hotfix update. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week This week, Steven Parker published several reviews. He shared his experience with the Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe, a high-quality sound card with a headphone amp, low-latency communications, great build quality, and DSD256. However, it is on the pricier side of the spectrum, and it lacks EMI shielding. Check out the full review here. The second review is about the TerraMaster F4-425 Pro, an octa-core Intel NAS with a stand-out feature: built-in AI (OpenClaw). We also published a few Hands On reviews, which you can view below: We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on Hands-on with BOOX Tappy: cute little reading accessory Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25 affordable ergonomic mouse On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. If you plan to purchase a new Xbox, it's time to act now. This week, Microsoft announced yet another Xbox price increase. Starting August 1, 2026, all Xbox Series X|S models with 512 GB of storage will cost $100 more. As for the 1TB models, they are going up in price by a whopping $150. Finally, Microsoft is discontinuing the 2TB Xbox Series X. To make up for that, Microsoft announced a few programs to make its consoles more accessible. Those include BNPL, interest-free financing, pre-owned consoles, certified refurbished consoles, and more. Valve also shared some not-so-welcome news. The company has finally announced prices of the upcoming Steam Machine console, and if you plan to buy one, get ready to spend a whopping $1,049 on the 512GB configuration. The Steam Machine is now available for preorder, with shipments scheduled for June 29, 2026. Grand Theft Auto VI also received its official price tag. Rockstar Games announced that the long-anticipated game will launch at $79.99 for the base edition and $99.99 for the ultimate edition. The latter includes an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Those who preorder the game will get extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. NVIDIA announced new games for its GeForce NOW streaming service. Those include Dark Scrolls, SAND: Raiders of Sophie, Deer & Boy, EMPULSE, and more. Steam is running its annual Summer Sale, during which you can purchase plenty of various games with big discounts. It runs until July 9, so in case you missed it, you can still get some games at a lower price. Also, you can get two games for free in the Epic Games Store, plus more deals are available in this week's Weekend PC Game Deals issue. This link will take you to other issues of the Microsoft Weekly series. You can also support Neowin by registering for a free member account or subscribing for extra member benefits, along with an ad-free tier option.
