Forums - Sales Discussion - March 2008 US Numbers

PS3 will beat the 360, it did the last two months where VGChartz had the 360 a lot more ahead, now that VGChartz has both tied I don't see a reason for it to go a different way.
Expect the usual press release by Microsoft tomorrow explaining how their consoles are supply constrained :P



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

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

Around the Network

Well, the supply excuse is over this month according to MS. They said March was their last month with supply constraints.

But I smell another excuse coming.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Fullfilled Prophecies

I prediction Microsoft will claim another shortage, this time, due to ******* (insert lame excuse that nobody will buy).

I also Predict that NPD`s number will contradict VGC`s in PS3 vs 360 for the third month in a row.

Lucky that 12 people didn`t get banned in that bet with Gebx, no? ;)



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

KH3 bet: "If KH3 comes to Wii exclusive, I will take a 1 month of sig/avatar by otheres open a thread apologize and praise you guys' brilliance." http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?start=50&id=18379

 I'm pretty sure that when TheSource said they were coming out.



Around the Network

They should be coming out tonight, on a thursday like usual.



@BKK Thanks for pointing out mistake



I have now edited in NPD for March. The VGC Vs NPD total shows that...

X360 is spot on overall
Wii and PS3 are a little undertracked



 

Looks like Sony Domination ended already. I guess Microsoft wasn't full of shit when they claimed they had shortages.
