Wii & X360 are still tracking way ahead of PS2 over the past 12 months:

Wii Months 41-52: 6.98m (PS2: 4.84m)

X360 Months 53-64: 6.94m (PS2: 5.23m)

* PS2 in Dec 2004 sold only 1m so it did really well in 2005. Sony's Christmas shipment got stuck in the Suez Canal.

Is that Suez Canal bit for real?  Lol, that's funny.

So PS3 was on top for the whole of February WW? Where is this guy that told me to wait for NPD numbers because he thought PS3 was being way overtracked?


we really don't know the ps3 numbers (only microsoft and nintendo revealed their numbers). all we know it sold better than last month (more than 267,000)

No, we know it sold better than February 2010 (360k)...

25% better in sales (not unit)... PS3 in February had a $50 deal that's mean more cheaper than last year... so can be PS3 sold more than 25% units than last year to made 25% more in sales.

I guess PS3 sold over 450k last month.

I might be completly wrong but weren't the $50 deals gift cards to the stores so they wouldn't make any difference in terms of hardware revenue. Add the fact a portion of ps3s were move bundles, especially killzone 3 move bundles and it is probably 10-15% more units, around 405k. Still an amazing increase from last month.

NPD track the store sales not Sony sales... so the revenue is with the deal.

The Move bundle like @makingmusic too is another variable if I'm not consider... so can be less than 450k but 405k seems low for me.

i might be totally wrong,be it should be still nothing fifference

you pay 299 then store give you a 50 gift cards right?not you pay 249 to buy PS3

Oh that's a gift card... not a deal... I guess you pay $249 but not you pay $299 and receive a $50 gift card for the next purchase.

So you is right.

PS3 models/bundles price:

$349 PS3 320GB Move
$349 PS3 320GB
$299 PS3 169GB Killzone 3
$299 PS3 160GB

That's seem the same price from the last year... the only differece is the bundles last year was selling by $399 (not $349 like this year).

isn't the 349 price cut only on online store

WTF at Wii? Nothing notable and it got a good boost? And people were saying a Wii 2 at E3 was "likely" or should happen. I guess on the way to E3 and after E3 when there are more games announced the Wii should still have a good year.

Great sales for PS3/360 as well. Nice to see the industry as a whole doing very nicely.


yeah it's definately mindboggling. maybe mario sports mix helped, or the more likely just dance 2. either way it seems wii is still doing good like reggie said
