Is the PS3 going to be stuck around the 30,000 mark forever?

 

 This time last year it was selling average of 50k (in fact over 60k for the same week last year). Think we thought it would stay that high forever back then!

On an interesting point it is quite funny reading peoples views on Japan. A few months back when 360 was in front people were saying "Japan is dead sales wise now", but because the PS3 is back ahead of it selling 100% less then this time last year it is now "Japan is turning to the PS3". You have to laugh :)

 

So? PSP and Wii are down a lot more but you only notice PS3 numbers. Heck, even DS is down with new model.

DS numbers are really simple to understand. DS-i is only a new model not a complete new handheld. People won't rush to buy a new DS which play the same games than the old model. In fact 200k is really unbelievable knowing that more than 1/5 of japanese already own a DS.

BTW I feel sorry for your predictions :P
