It's the lesser of all the evils. It's the least flawed console, and most people proably don't know much about PSN being down. However now that Call of Duty advertizing is back for 360, people may become more aware of PSN being down. With Wii's new price cut, console sales may balance out for a bit. Until then PS3 is ontop because

360 hasn't seen a major new exclusive since last fall, and Kinect momentum will likely be down until fall, but like last fall 360 will likely sell increadibly well.

Wii is in the same position software, but with the successor announced it's unlikely we'll see new software for the Wii. Then again fall sales will likely make up for the weak sales so far.

DS is down now that the 3DS is out, and 3DS is lacking software so sales aren't strong yet. Also there aren't really any new games comming out for DS.

As for PSP it's also been lacking software, and is basically dead n Americas.

So really software is holding the PS3 up, but this fall that might change. I think this year, all the consoles will come very close with overall sales.

Personally I think 3DS will see the strongest sales this fall, Wii should gain enough momentum to regain leading sales for home consoles, and 360 should be able to close the gap for the second half, but still come thir overall for home consoles.

TBH PSP is undertracked in Americas so no, it isn't dead...yet.

Everything that doesn't do well on VGC is undertracked. Those arguements are unfounded.

You have rather short memory span don't you ?

It's less than 2 months since PSP was majorly adjusted up in both america and emea and still VGC seems to belive psp sales weekly in America less than it was selling in February before price drop in USA only.

I know PSP sales were adjusted (significantly more in EMEAA then Americas), and PSP sales did see a jump in March. It's still selling about as well as it did in 2010, o I don't think PSP will be adjusted.

My point was PSP sales are not high, and it's because the handheld is old, and lacking software. Weather it's above or below the DS, it's still below the PS3.

Im not really sure if Sony is happy with the PS3 in comparison to their previous consoles..they are on top now, but are they ever going to recoup their losses before their next console is released????

PSP is essentially dead in Americas. Right now it's selling below PS2 weekly, and even if the price drop calls for an adjustment, PSP sales won't be that high in Americas. If PS2 outsells PSP on any week, it's dead, I'm sorry, get over it.

Lol @ the title. And I guess some people can't be really happy without kicking the man who's down and showing some recovery.

Is PS2 dead in America? LOL



As soon as last week's totals are up, we'll see what effect the outage really had.

This week's totals should provide an even better picture of what's really going on at retail.

Doesn't matter. Before the price drop PSP was selling about as well as PS2. Even if sales are inflated by 50%, it's still significantly below all the other current gen systems. I consider it dead, it may crawl around and bleed for 2011, but I'm still ready to give it a grave for Americas.

PS2 is an undead zombie roaming the Americas.

I'd say PS2 is only really alive in EMEAA. In Japan sales are 1/3rd to half 360's (which I consider dead in Japan), and they are very weak in Americas.

I'm going with PS2 being a vegetable in Americas. It's only a matter of time until Sony pulls to cord.
