Sales numbers for the PS3 in America seem a little low this week.

[Euphoria14]

I'll post this again, only because I think it is a very valid argument.

 

It sold more than you think in the US. Maybe not a HUGE amount but definitely several thousand more at least.

I posted this in another thread and I am pretty sure someone posted it here.

 

Considering how every single console and handheld dropped from the previous week in the US are you implying that without Killzone 2 the PS3 would have been the only one to not decrease? I would say that is good news for the PS3.

If your not implying that then you would have to assume the Killzone 2 boost was actually more than just 13k.

 

Thanks to Smeags for the charts.

Console	Last Week	This Week
	240,440	168,205
	146,125	115,117
	94,783	76,794
	54,718	66,003
	51,760	46,549

PS3: +11,285
PSP: -5,211
360: -17,989
DS: -31,008
Wii: -72,235

I know it is not 13k, it is 11,285, but that is the number the person I was responding to used in that other thread. He was talking about WW. Which I still think wasn't 13k but whatever.

Also if I am not mistaken, didn't sales drop across the board for the other consoles in Europe+Others as well?

 

 

This is probably less likely but still also a possible scenario.

XBox360 sales may have dropped by more just 17,989 without the release of Star Ocean 4. If I remember correctly the game sells well in America, so even it could have shifted some consoles to offset higher losses.
