Decent boost for PS3 (considering the season and that the cut was announced the very day it happened), excellent boost for 3DS.

3DS got an 82% jump, so its not all bad. But I think its quite evident that Nintendo really need to work on the US Market.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

It seem VGZ forgot to track Infamous 2 bundle.

Nope, September is always 5 weeks. March, June, September and December.

There are some things weird...

PS3 hardware: +40%
PS3 software: +2%

How can these 40% PS3 owners buying nothing?


well I bought a 160gb PS3 just to upgrade from my 60gb PS3...so that could be a factor if others are doing the same thing

OT: for just 4 days of sales recorded,(of the PS3 price cut) I think the PS3 did great.

good stuff from the 3DS as well!!!

PS3... :S

It seems it's going to act like the 3DS and take a bit of time to get out to the public about it's price cut.


I hope so...


I doubt Sony isn't going to push it much before the Holyday period start.

Besides, if it's any indication my local Best Buy was actually sold out of PS3 ( not that they had a huge stock to start but Sony needs to replenish stores before we see any effect).



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !
