| Sullla said: The American market is entirely Wii + 360 + DS (I suspect a lot of DS titles are in NPD's 21-30 rankings). Sony's platforms are barely even a blip on the radar screen. They are really in bad shape here; I'd probably just write off this market for the rest of the generation and focus on Europe and Japan, where things are a lot more positive. It's still hard to believe that PS3 is hovering around 15-20% market share in America this generation. Just not having much luck selling. |
Most likely due to the fact that PS3 sales are being inflated due to owners using the device as a blu-ray player primarily, and a games player afterwards. Last NPD update I saw, put Sony at around a 5.0-5.5 attach ratio for software. That's abysmal for a device going on it's 3rd year. Software sales are showing it to be the case, as the PS3 is starting to look like the PSP: a functions-first device with gaming capabilities.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
