| numonex said: Please compare sales from NA only. 60% of members on this site are from NA region. NPD is for USA sales only. Look at the console sales graphs between the three consoles in NA region only. It looks like Wii and X360 are both pulling away from PS3 in NA region. Console sales are more important than game sales because increasing console install base is directly related to increasing game sales. http://vgchartz.com/hwcomps.php?cons1=Wii®1=America&cons2=PS3®2=America&cons3=X360®3=America&start=39194&end=39887&weekly=1 |
Why do 360 fans want to go NA only as if the rest of the world doesn't matter? More video game revenue comes from outside of NA then from inside NA. With the Euro and Yen worth more relative to the dollar a sale in either other region is like 1.3 or 1.4 sales in NA.
If the 360 pulls away from the PS3 in NA and the PS3 improves in the rest of the world its advantage PS3. Until the dollar strengthens or at least stops weakening the rest of the world is going to continue to matter more relative to the US.
Saying "oh go one region only for this stuff!" also smacks of wanting to only win selective fights. If you would like by that token we could go Japan only and say OMG PS3 PWNS 360!!! The important one is worldwide sales, since thats what determines revenue at the end of the day.
By comments like the numonex one I'm reminded of an Eddie Izard Comment in front of an American audience "do you know there's other countries? Just checking"
