Why is the PS3 winning the home console warz at the moment? I really don't get where this has come from

I was just about to ask the same question?? I mean isn't it like more expensive than the other 2? and it's gimmick isn't doing as good as the others gimmicks


I see that no one thinks about one simple thing : it is the only console using Blu-ray. 

Put a Wii, a PS3 and a Xbox360 in front of you and ask yourself : Wich piece of hardware is apparently more "future-proof"? The majority of people is answering PS3.

And yet less people think that this year than last... look at my YOY above your post.

We are often guilty of looking at a weeks numbers in isolation.  

The PS3 is doing good compared to last year,considering that it was still riding the slim/price-cut effect.


down over 30% is good?


This was the week that Hokuto Musou and Torne came out in Japan. And as previously mentioned FFXIIII's 3rd and GOW3's 2nd weeks. Look at the YOY comparisons from April onward.

3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

Halo is a phenomenon, Reach has incredible staying power.

 

KZ3 improves a bit this week and may start to match KZ2 given time.  Strange performance, actually the recent improvement is all coming from the US... bundles?  Anyway it looks like it may be demonstarting some legs in the US but elsewhere it has none.

 

LBP2 is a massive sales disappointment.

LBP after 10 weeks - 134k for the week and total of 1.8m

LBP2 after 10 weeks - 23k for the week and total of 1.1m

Not sure where this franchse will go after this, needs a new direction... somehow.

- I wouldn't call LBP2 a massive disappointment, but a disappointment nonetheless. LBP1 had the advantage of selling faster and stronger due to holiday and freshness, but LBP2 should still be selling at least within 100k of it. In the end, I can see it getting close to LBP1's lifetime totals, but not clearing them, which is a shame (it's better in every way).

- KZ3, it's not doing that good because of bundles (you can't really buy those anymore here), it's because of the marketing and multiplayer.

- Reach is definitely strong, but recent price drops/sales helped quite a bit.

What price drops?

Who thinks Wii will hit 90M in summer?


I don't, possibly by the end of september, otherwise I very much doubt it


How about shipped? 88.3M end of June, maybe 90M end of September.


yeah thats possible, I can see Nintendo stocking up for Christmas early and they'll be preparing for their big hitters like Zelda at the end of the year, never hurts to stock a couple months early

I think it has more to do with the time of year the games came out. LBP before the holidays so by week 10 would be well into the holidays. LBP2 came out after and 10 weeks latter is a weaker time of year.

I hope it dies.

Worst 60 bucks I ever spent on a game.


really? do you mean  LBP2?  did you buy LBP1 too?

No, LBP2. I bought into the hype. The game ... is not for everyone, let's put it at that.

LBP2s problem was definitely that it launched in the suckiest time frame of all time. If it launched in November it would have been massive.
