leo-j was talking about percentage increases from the week before, so he is correct, but so are you ;)

 linkzmax isnt correct because there is no way to tell if VGCharts is correct which I doubt it is on the weekly sales charts for America. Also does the number include Canada? no. The new bundle in Europe? no. To be blunt 95% of all video game media sites have blacklisted VGCharts as a source. This includes IGN, Gamespot, and 1up. PSU the site I work at, blacklisted this site. Back before this site did their own predictions and number edits and trusted the NPD, GfK, and MC none of the above sites had a problem.

 leo-j is correct. 

 Anyways this months numbers are going to be insanely high for not just the PS3 but the PS2 is selling insanely well.


 well linkzmax was saying that the wii outsold the ps3 WW this week which it did, like it does every week. so he was correct.

Leo-j said that the ps3 had the largest percentage increase in hardware sales this week, which it did. so leo-j was also correct.

i dont see any problems with that.

I don't think worldwide but other than the launch period, I think this is the first time it beat it in US sales specifically.

I expect PS3 to beat 360 worldwide for the rest of July and August up to maybe the Halo 3 launch or near it. Still PS3 sales should have reached their lowest points earlier this year and they will only go up generally from here through the holidays. 



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

It says the Wii Nunchuck is number 1 at the moment. Is that correct? Not too sure how to read the Amazon rankings.



Bonafide732 on 18 July 2007

yup wii nunchuck is no. 1 now..I expect ps3 sales to start to dwindle a little bit... if a major game would come out it would help sales a lil more.. but thats not the case.. until madden and Lair..

Ouch, poor PS3.

The PS3 is no longer at #1, it's at #2 now, after being overtaken by the Wii Nunchuk controller. Will it climb again or will it keep dropping from now on?

Thats a great deal considering the UK didn't get a price drop.

Amazon are basically giving you VF5 and an HDMI cable free when you buy the Starter Pack at £425.

Permanent pricedrop for both PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro in October.

PS4 Slim $249 (October 2017)

Well, I'm not seeing the fact that the Nunchuk controller becoming #1 on Amazon as being a bad sign for the PS3 after finding a top spot. Why? Because just 48 hours ago the Wii jumped all the way to number 2 on the list. Now, what much needed necessity is always purchased with a spike of Wii's? That right, the extra add on.

It's a cycle and it seems to be following that cycle pretty well. I mean, I could be just as pessimistic and say "OMG the Wii dropped from #2 to #7! The sales are failing! Nintendo is in trouble!"

See how uninformed that sounds when people act like that?
