| Oyvoyvoyv said: How much did Ps3 win with weekly in those 7 months? Let's have a look. Week ending 1st March to week ending 4th October Ps3: 5362K X360: 4539K Difference: 823K. Over 30 weeks: 27.4K weekly. In %, the Ps3 sold ~ 18% more than the 360. |
Exactly! The biggest difference is that even when the 360 was "doomed", it was only being outsold by PS3 by roughly 20-30k units per week. Anyone who took the time to run the numbers could see that it wouldn't be passed until well into 2009, at the earliest. And that was assuming no response from Microsoft, which was rather silly.
Sony really is in trouble now, for two reasons: their financial situation prevents them from aggressively cutting the price, and their exclusive games don't seem to be attracting the same degree of interest as Microsoft (Gears 2) and Nintendo (everything first-party).
If your console is the most expensive, and you don't have any "killer" exclusive games at the moment, you're in trouble.
End of 2008 totals: Wii 42m, 360 24m, PS3 18.5m (made Jan. 4, 2008)
