| shams said: Well, the big story from this NPD is "bad news for MS - all round". Firstly, Wii overtakes 360 US install base - even with the 12 month head start. Then PS3 almost doubles the monthly 360 sales, and takes the #1 title for the month - a PS3 exclusive. And lastly, 360 sales look extremely weak in the US at the moment. Only two 360 titles in the top#10. ... As a few people have said, that price cut can't come quickly enough - if MS can't turn around this US performance, and FAST - its going to be a complete disaster for them (good E3 or not). They really need some compelling, exclusive 360 software to hit - and fast. "Too Human"?? Also interesting that the sales for THIS month may be around half for the PS3 than last month (4 weeks versus 5, and lower sales per week). But will still (probably) beat the 360... The gloves are coming off in the 360 vrs PS3 battle... |
the price drop should help for a while. after the price cut the 360 should outsell the ps3 in america for a while but i still dont think it will outsell the ps3 worldwide because of the combined gap in japan and europe. the only time i think the 360 will outsell the ps3 worldwide is when gears 2 is released.
