So how about it? PS3 Slims sales are skyrocketing worldwide, software and DLC sales are sure to follow. For those of you who remember the PS2 did kinda same thing, granted it didn't quite take this long. So what do you think will happen next, you think that this will be the start of Sony dominance in this console generation? Or will they manage to screw it up somehow? And don't just talk, bring some good points.

For the record, it still didn't outsell the 360. 
 
Are you defining "comback" as actually being profitable or coming out of the 3rd place? Because it definitely ain't doing the latter.

   
Well I define comeback by product percent sales off the charts. Moving more that a 100,00 units in less than a week. Or outselling all other consoles in major gaming markets with a new product.

According to the unbiased charts, dispite the comotion over sony, it didn't outsell the xbox360 yet. 
 
So don't get ahead of yourself.

It's definitely making for a far more interesting contest between Microsoft and Sony than it has been recently.  Sony have finally worked themselves into the kinda position where they should have been all along - solid exclusives lined up and a realistic price point.  
 
As things stand, I think PS3 will overhaul 360 sales.  But what if Natal comes out and breaks big?  What if the Sony Spacecream Cone + camera combination turns out to be incredible?  It's like a real contest again and that's awesome.
 
I don't mean to dismiss the Wii, it's just that I think the real action is between Microsoft and Sony - two gigantic global corporations slugging it out over video games of all things.

The PS3 slim is winning in sales against PS3 fat. Its a 3rd place race for third place. Oh, I'm teasing, I love you PS3.

Sales are certainly better, it will not even get close to the amount of Nintendo Wii's sold this console generation. I think the Wii won a long time ago (in sales), better luck next time.

I sold my fat PS3 for a Slim PS3.
So yea, I guess they must be doing something right.

The PS3 is making a big "come back" 
even though i think that despite other consoles selling better, it has always been selling quite well and releasing some of the best games ever made.  
 
There is just lots of smart things Sony is doing right now. For instance, Madden is now played in MLG, and its played exclusively on PS3. Put that on top of a big price cut and a new console design. Add to that an already excellent library plus a fantastic holiday-into-Q1 of next year line-up. PS3's are flying off the shelves right now. 

It didn't outsell 360 for August and September will see the release of a new Halo game, so I don't see it outselling the 360 in September either.After September we will see lot's of big third paty games being released as well as first party stuff like Forza 3,  and third party games always sell better on 360, so I don't really see the tide turning.

Pointless. "

Doesn't Sony still make a huge loss on between manufacturing price on the Slim compared to retail price? 
 
I heard it was somewhere around $100. So even if they do outsell the 360, Sony isn't gonna be making any money.

Sony is definitely now in a position to be competitive. They've got a solid lineup of exclusive titles on tap and a reasonable price point. Unfortunately, there may be too much ground for them to make up for against the 360. The price drop and the exclusives were enough to get me to finally take the plunge, but honestly I still see myself spending more time (and money) on the 360. More casual gamers that already have a 360 probably won't see any reason to get a PS3, and stand-alone Blu-Ray players have improved enough that the PS3 is no longer the only choice there. 
 
Sony has a long uphill battle in front of them, but at least now they seem to have some forward momentum.

Worldwide the PS3 has sold more than the 360 in the past 7 days.

I like the fact that the PS3 is getting its due. It is a damn fine system. Sure, I play my 360 more but I am seeing the untapped potential in the PS3 and the fact that many developers are finally reaching it. Also, it is excellent media device. That in itself is a reason to get it.

Sony deserves the awesome sales, they have built an awesome and reliable console while providing great service and awesome games, I really have nothing to complain about and am glad that it's finally picking up speed in the market.

Well they have a good set of features, a good price, a rock-solid software lineup, and an awesome add campaign. I think it will outsell the 360 in two, three years time.

Dominance? lol, it's only one month, wait until the ps3 is actually in second place before making such ludicris statements.

PS3 launched a year after 360... If you compare them at similar times within their life cycles, then PS3 is outselling 360. "

Sony and Microsoft have been neck and neck for ages. The difference between the two systems really is minimal when you look at either the Wii, or the Playstation 2's dominance. I expect both Sony and Microsoft to make small ground on Nintendo this holiday season. Small ground.
 
Either way, I expect Sony and Microsoft will remain neck and neck for a long time. Although I do feel there are more people holding out on getting a PS3, almost ready to pick one up, than there are those waiting to pick up an XBOX 360 at the moment.
 
We'll see. It's great to see Sony not getting slaughtered everywhere for a change though. I mean all we've heard is doom and gloom for a good 18 months or so. Nice to see Sony post some positive news over recent weeks. Especially when they have so many good games coming out.
 
Competition can only be good for the consumers at the end of the day, so nice to see Sony get a leg up.

cool, this is just like the ps2. i think it's because of the price drop in the ps3. i just can't wait until more games are coming out. it will also sell more for some people are waiting for games to come out.

Sony needs to improve its online service.  It is free but it sucks balls.  Also, it didnt help much that they were being assholes and smug about how great the PS2 did and that Sony is some elite brand and that customers will pay what they want.  Lets see how well the PSP go does after the initial rush.  Also, this rush of PS3 buyers can also be the people who waited for a few months since everyone knew this was coming.  After that, who will still be buying the PS3?  People that want games like God Of War and GT5 already have one since they are that kind of gamer.  It doesnt look too good.

Why am I the only one who can't play sales? :(

I see PS3 overtime evening up with 360 but not overcoming it. No console is going to shift places until the Wii shifts spots. Which is amazing it hasn't, I still can't believe people are buying that thing up still even though it hasn't had a really landmark release since Brawl.

people please stop caring about hardware sales. hardware dont mean jack if you have and games to play on it.
