You know, considering most here are either 1) attacking Americans or 2) attacking the sites tracking, this was refreshing to see from someone that we KNOW isn't a 360 fan persay.  I have a newfound respect for you, sir. OT: 34 Mass Effect 2 (PS3) Electronic Arts 4 18,576 124,690 "Sadness. This game deserves better.  Disappointment.  Lifetime sales likely less than 500,000 ..."

I think it has a chance at doing so at lower price point, once it hits the magical $20-30 region, its bound to sell like hotcakes.

Good sales for 360.  It is now strongly established in US and I believe it's got the benefit currently of the tail spike from Kinect's launch plus a new, higher demand baseline due to Kinect.  Very good performance in the US.

PS3 is okay TBH.  the PS3 is more expensive and from a games perspective the PS3/360 are almost identical in power/library so given the higher price it should sell less than 360.  BR players are cheap now and 360 has the Kinect boost.  PS3 numbers are fine to keep it relevant particularly when balanced worldwide where 360 is weaker.

Wii down and clearly on an overall downward trend - but all the doom predictions are way too harsh.  The Wii has a huge lead, will spike big again holiday 2011 and likly remain comfortably ahead of 360 in US.  How close they are now depends on what Nintendo can do to boost sales - price cuts, etc - and what MS can do to try and further boost 360 performance.

As for Mass Effect 2 in US what did people expect?  It launched as a console exclusive in the region where 360 is more dominant.  There is also the stigma of a "late port".  I think it'll actually see okay legs when the price drops - which it needs to - and PS3 owners in US feel the ratio of value is right.  It's clear that despite the games strong reviews and reputation most people feel full price for a late port is too much no matter how good the game.

Ai Carrumba. Fear not Nintendo fans. Wii's price will be slashed another $50 and being under the 360 Arcade its sales will float right back up. I wouldn't be surprised if they hold off doing that until Oct though. They know Marh-Oct is a dry period for them anyway,so they might as well sell for $200 during that time then drop to $150 for the holiday scramble. $150K for the week is low by Wii standards, but it's still a decent number.

PS3 really should be more popular in the USA, but I think not having a sub $250 model is hurting it in that territory. Personally I'd like them to drop the 160Gig model down to $200 and have a $299 premium model with 4xUSB, Wireless N and a PSP emulator. Though maybe they can't slice off $100. They should be able to shave off $75 and sell units for $325 and $225 at a profit later this year.

Glad to see Move still chugging along, slowly adding to the install base. But it needs something more to get gamers attention.

Mass Effect 2 smashes it's way through 200K this week . But seriously, I'm thinking why buy it on disk when I can download it off PSN and then install it on 5 PS3's? There's gotta be a substantial amount of PSN sales for this game. Should be nudging 300K I reckon with PSN sales.

Nice. Xbox 360 Kinect = addiction and America is HOOKED!

On topic

Loving the sales!! Wished PS3 was a bit higher though!

At this rate Q1 FY2011 (april-june) shipments for Wii might fell below PS2

ok now it's official, America is brain washed by Microsoft ;)

You mean brainwashed by the Xbox 360 games library which is one of the best ever
