Sony must be the ones who won't allow NPD to post the numbers siunce the NPD needs approval the Big 3 and Sony is the only one who won't post thier numbers. They must be embarassed by their sales and Move.


It likely is Sony, yet still in the past they've had much worse sales. Comparitively they're doing OK now. Likely beating the Wii for example.

 

It's odd Sony didn't force NPD to stop back when they were selling 80k/month.

Wii at really low levels now :/ Wii Party didnt do wonders either. I wonder if there will be a saviour?! M predictions seems to be spot on, the 360 will probably own everything this holidays

so we got weekly sales of:

360 - 96,800
DS  - 80,600
PS3 - 56,501 (at least)
Wii - 50,800

quite shocking if you ask me.

VGC numbers for comparison:

DS  - 117,100
360 -  96,500
Wii -   63,200
PS3 -  55,600
PSP -  25,100
PS2 -    8,200

This also means PS3 could have been outselling Wii for many weeks worldwide.

Well there's a chance Wii was beaten already on 11th of September since we don't know how separate weeks were overtracked:

Console Weekly (change) Total
DS 247,837 ( 15%) 134,008,284
X360 160,792 (-9%) 43,037,143
Wii 140,215 (-19%) 73,965,302
PS3 126,790 (-8%) 37,721,450
PSP 108,281 ( 26%) 59,908,585
PS2 28,065 (-2%) 136,873,245
Total 811,980(-1%)

You know, many will act like it is no big deal, but never has this happened to a first place console. 

It happened with Genesis (1st to 2nd) and SNES (2nd to 1st) in 1994.

Never has a 1st place console been as universally sabotaged by the industry as Wii has.  Still, not it's not so bad when you consider where Nintendo was at 5 years ago...

I don't know if you've read the thread.

But the PS3 outsold the Wii for the Month.

Wii's sabotage is nothing compared to PS3's 2007 Industry sabotage

The industry continuously supporting PS3 with big multiplats like CoD and Assassin's Creed were what kept PS3 afloat during those times.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Media and the industry press at least fundamentally changed their stance on PS3.  With Wii, they've been saying the same things since 2006... Wii's definitely had it worse from the press this gen.
