I'm going to do an Americas chart in addition to the world chart this week and next. I may possibly continue doing so even after the Black Friday numbers come in.
World chart first. Quick summary: PS3 did not reach 360's sales of 406k from 2008.
| WEEK ENDED SEPT 05/06 TO NOV 21/22 (WORLD) | Price-reduced console sales | Other console sales | Gap increase (360) or decrease (PS3) during period |
| 2008 | 360: 2,675,132 | PS3: 1,991,426 | 360: 683,706 |
| 2009 | PS3: 3,713,251 | 360: 2,168,819 | PS3: 1,544,432 |
| Lead | PS3: 1,038,119 | 360: 177,393 | PS3: 860,726 (net 2008+2009 change) |
| WEEK ENDED NOV 21/22 (WORLD) | Price-reduced console sales | Other console sales | Gap increase (360) or decrease (PS3) for the week |
| 2008 | 360: 406,311 | PS3: 245,810 | 360: 160,501 |
| 2009 | PS3: 359,417 | 360: 285,460 | PS3: 73,957 |
| Lead | 360: 46,894 | 360: 39,650 | 360: 86,544 (net 2008+2009 change) |
In all ways, not a great week for the PS3 price cut effect compared to last year's 360 price cut. PS3 didn't match last year's 360 sales and this year's 360 sales exceeded last year's PS3 sales. I think this is the first time this has happened since the Slim was released.
