Hm...60,000 ahead of Wii this week...30m behind lifetime

30,000,000/60,000

Yeah, if PS3 outsells Wii by this amount for the next 500 weeks then its the greatest comeback ever. I don't think we're going to see Wii drop below 275,000/week after the price drop. So except for the possibility of FFXIII week in Japan the order should be the DS > Wii > PS3 > 360 > PSP > PS2 for the rest of the year, although not entirely sure where to place the Go yet.

I do think there is a pretty good chance PS3 will outsell X360 each worldwide for the rest of 2009.

Keep your eye on whatever Wii does in October - when PS3 had its first price drop in early Oct 2007 it quadrupled from Oct to Nov in North America. That kind of jump is pretty likely with Wii at $200 for the first time.

 

My point is that its a HUGE comeback from where the console was 6 months ago & what its image was in general within the industry & people's minds.

A Comeback from the depths of hell itself.

interesting wii prediction BTW

If PS3 will be able to sustain 250k+ sales for the rest of year, or atleast not fall below 200k, then YES.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 (sept 29) - AAA
Demons Soul (oct 6) - AAA
Afrika (oct 6)
Uncharted 2: Amoung thieves (oct 13) - AAA
Ratchet & Clank: A Crack In Time (oct 27) - AAA
Tekken 6 (oct) - multi
Eye Pet (nov 17)
Modern Warfare 2 (nov 10) - multi
Assasins Creed 2 (nov 17) - multi
Gof of War Collection (dec) - AAA
FFXIII in Japan (dec 17) - AAA

So, the hardest thing to do, is stay above 250k the 4th week, but even if it will sell less, it`s not big deal, as long as it will sell 250k+ with incoming releases.

Who would have guessed that price cut would have seen a spike in sales that lingered for a few weeks?

never occured to me

It is a revolutionary idea, maybe nintendo should learn from them.

So Sony says 1 million PS3 sold over last 3 weeks. VGC says it is 1.1 million. I understand that is because VGC claims they track PS3 fatty as well. I understand that, but honestly have 100,000 fatties sold over the last 3 weeks. If so why?



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

Discounted? Bundled? Linux support? Slim looks to ugly to some? Don't know better?

Because 100,000 people like the fatties more than the skinnies?

Over 600k first week.
Over 300k second week.
Over 250k third week.

Which means, 1.15-1.2 mln. in 3 weeks. Great PS3 slim sales.


I wonder, if PS3 will be able to sustain 250k+ sales for the rest of year.
Japan did pretty well with 50k+ sales for 3rd week. :)

Please this is not a comeback at all. This is just a price cut / new model. If the PS3 is constantly outselling the Wii for the next 12 months then you can talk about a comeback.

p.s. Will you start a thread when PS3 will return to its normal sales?
