Hate to piss on the parade but the Playstation sales that you call "strong" are actually all DOWN on the same week last year.
Sales this week last year for all formats
Wii sold 83k this week last year meaning sales are DOWN 40k (Down 50%)
360 sold 5k this week last year meaning sales are UP by 4k (up 80%)
PS3 sold 37k this week last year meaning sales are DOWN 8k (Down almost 25%)
PSP sold 91k this week last year meaning sales are DOWN 24k (down almost 20%)
DS sold 101k this week last year meaning sales are UP 6k (up 6.5%)
So these sales you talk of in comparison to this week last year and the year before that are pretty damn awful. I do find it slightly funny that the playstation brand is credited with strong sales but yet they all lower....
Would hate to see what a bad week is if that is a strong week |
yes but those numbers playstation sold are still pretty impressive
|
I guess they actually are miserable considering they are down YOY.
|
if you look it that way all consoles besides 360 and DS are down. This might just be a bad week for gaming in Japan. And why is PS2 not included?
|
Well i did not look at the PS2 numbers but this is what they are
PS2 numbers this week = 8k. This week last year = 15k. Meaning PS2 sales are DOWN 7k (almost 50%) thus concluding that only 2 platforms actually increased sales while all three playstation brands and the wii decreased in sales. Which makes the title of the thread slightly wrong looking :)

It's not all that surprising that the PS3 is selling less YOY considering it hasn't had a price cut since 07. A good measurement of how it's doing will be how well it sells when it receives it's next price cut.
