Wow those sales are bad.
Again this is i think now conclusive proof that both 360 and PS3 demand is starting to get to saturation point. Both are up on last year but both in comparison to the previous year PS3 is down on sales while 360 is only barely up by like 1k.

So what is interesting about those numbers is that in USA compared to the last time PS3 price cut the numbers are down this time. Which again throws further evidence into the fre to support Sources theory that this gen peak has gone.

PS3 did 159k last year, it's not down.........

 


No you misunderstood what i said. I said they are up over last years figures. But PS3 is down compared to it's 2008 figures while 360 only just beat it's 2008 numbers. 2008 was the year coming in off the back of the previous PS3 price cut. Which prooves that the price cut effect is/has started to now ware off.

you are trying way to hard.

 


There is no trying about it. What i have showed is that Aprill 2010 is not the best April in sales for PS3. It did better in 2008.

Now i don't know about you but coming in off the back off a price cut, new model, quality titles etc i find that surprising.

I wouldn't be calling PS3 past it's peak just yet because:

a) Sony are predicting FY 2010/2011 to ship 15M PS3s which is the highest year yet

b) there are guaranteed to be further price cuts

c) this is one month's data

d) this is only USA not the world, so even if USA has peaked it doesn't mean PS3 has peaked

e) You need to wait and see whether Sony says April was still supply constrained for PS3

f) I dunno what f) could be but there probably is one.

@ your reply to my first reply. Yes you did explain some of it in other posts, but that still doesn't make the basis for your assertions sound, it simply highlighted the mathematical bias in your figures (note I said mathematical, not personal). If you ignore the MoE in one set of data and proceed to draw conclusions then there is an inherent bias in the conclusion in favour of that set of data. More reliable =/= absolute reliability.
