Goldeneye boosted the wii
Good goldeneye sales, I honestly didn't expect like this. Other than that, pretty meh IMO.
The Wii isn't doing that bad considering that its biggest release this year has been Mario Sports Mix. Other than a couple decent/mediocre 3rd party games such as The Masters, De Blob 2, Lost in Shadow, and Conduit 2 the Wii has had no games this year.
Most anticipated games of 2011:
Uncharted 3,Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Rocksmith
Modern Warfare 3, Super Mario 3D
Michael-5 said: Wow PS3's number is really strong in America. How long with the Black Ops PS3 bundle go on for? Take away that bundle, and look at a week without Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Ed boosting Japanese sales, and PS3/360 sales are within 10k of each other. I wonder if 360 will surpass PS3 in any week before Gears 3. NCAA Football comes in 2 weeks, and Madden in 9. If the Black Ops bundle is over by then, the small lead PS3 has over 360 should be cross-able with Madden. Looks like sales for all platforms will be going down until September. I wonder if Wii can hold worldwide lead until the PS3/360 price cut? Wii is dying. |
Madden? I'm curious to know why you feel Madden would give the 360 such a big boost over the PS3. I mean by that time it would still proabaly have to boost the 360 by ~20-25K to have a good lead over the PS3. And its not like Madden is a franchise that is synonymous with the 360, as it sells alright on both systems. Not to mention it would be the 6th in the series in this gen alone, so the vast majority of Madden fans already have either a PS3 or 360.
@ OP
The PS3 keeps decreasing that sales gap. Keep it up, Sony. The momentum can only help you next gen.
well it is high summer and i know things are down but as far as the ps3 is concerned i can't see the point in a pricecut until after september,sony may as well let it rumble along at 120,000 a week at full wack and then drop 50 as things start to wind up,they should give a months psn plus free as a tempter too with a new buy i reckon

PS3 faces some modestly difficult comparisons through the month, particularly on the last week which saw the release of Sengoku Basara 3 and the white PS3 model in Japan. August is more of the same, I would expect a $50 cut at Gamescon to put it pretty steeply in the positive on a weekly basis.
360... well it's obviously got some VERY steep comparisons this month. August offers a slight reprieve but looking at its current baseline a price cut would need to more than double sales to put it into consistently positive YOY territory up until the Halo Reach launch in September.
Wii is currently hovering around similar numbers as last year. Whether or not the deterioration of the price cut will have it fall back into negative territory again remains to be seen. At the very least it doesn't have too many difficult comparisons up until November.
PS3 almost at the place it should be ;)
As for Wii I have a feeling it might be overtracked in Europe as you still can buy old Wii from Amazon at prices below official price cut level.

And there was 3.61 Million 3DS systems shipped by the end of March.
3 Months later and that shipment still hasn't sold out. It reminds me of GT5's numbers on here. GT5 has only just sold out its December shipment numbers, 6 Months later

Yes it has. The likelyhood is probably that it's undertracked. I guess we will see. When the numbers get updated to March '11, if VGC numbers are correct, then the figuers will be exactly the same on PD's site as they were for Dec '10.
I think it's like 99% likely though that we're undertracking it across EMEAA.
