Forums - Sony Discussion - PS3 Currently #1 on Amazon

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!"

But if you said that, besides being pessimistic you would be an idiot because the Wii is sold out 99% of the time, causing it to lose places in the rank.

The question for the PS3 is - can it maintain its sales this week?

Miyamoto: Satoru-san, PS3 is no 1 in Amazon!

Iwata: Then let's send them some Wiis!

Miyamoto: There are none left, we sent them to japanese retailers for the release of Dragon Quest Swords!

Iwata: Oh crap! What else can we send them?

Miyamoto: Wiimotes... No, they are buying them with Wii Play... Nintendo DS... No, America doesn't buy them too fast... I know! Nunchucks!

Iwata: OK, give the order to swamp Amazon with Nunchucks!

:P

The links for Amazon Japan are long, but there you go. I really want that Teal DS.

I guess the PS3 is doing well in America, at least.

 


ME TOO!

What do you mean? Wanking over Wii's sale is ok but this is a big no no? I think everyone here agrees second week after price drop is much more important than first so I see nothing strange with fact this thread goes on...

Let's just say, it's been pointed out time and time again how irrelevant Amazon sales are. But, for the sake of the PS3 I suppose we'll just pretend they mean something now? Give me a break. Wake me when it makes a splash by outselling the PS2, or the PSP for that matter.

Sure. Amazon is a shitty indicator of sale but by tracking stock we can at least roughly calculate if sale keeps momentum or not. Regards PS2... Fact it outsells X360 is good enough for me as for now.

BTW: It's pretty easy to ignore threads. Really. Personally I've never read any of hundreds posts in Brawl topic... I could spam about shitty Pikimin characters all day though
