That is 125k in ONLY 1 region. You seem to forget that Japan + Others exist as well. We may see a 200-250k week here.
360 has NEVER lost a Black Friday to the PS3. It is an accomplishment whether you wish to belittle it or not.
I heard Milo was just a scripted demo.
Sony is also set to be profitable next year on just the PS3. It has already been stated that the Playstation family as a whole is profitable,
Also, show me a link that shows the 360 Arcade is profitable. |
Last gen Sony outsold MS by 120 million. Now we have a 6-7 million lead for MS. MS wouldn't be worried about getting outsold by 10 million. You are still judging from a micro-perspective. There is no way, absolutely no way that Sony won't be the big loser this gen. Nintendo is the big winner and MS did well. Look where they came from and where they are now.
After you did so, check financial reports for the divisions. THEN tell me who should be worried about a 200k difference?
Japan is a very different market and nobody expected MS to even sell a million there but they did. Actually everybody expected Sony to dominate like they did with the PS2 but they failed.
Okay, so the PS3 "won" a black friday (excluding Nintendo). That was the black friday 2 months after a MAJOR pricecut and a redesing / relaunch of their console.
Milo was not a scripted demo, there were people playing with it. Check eurogamer or this video

And Sony said they would be profitable in 2009 as well. This means nothing to be honest. Maybe they make a small profit, but this is nowhere near the losses they made for 3 years (4 if you count R&D) in a row with the PS3.
And you know companies don't publish their numbers for single SKUs but I can show you the financial results for the EDD being positive even though there is the Zune HD making losses.

That's it, just keep belittling an accomplishment. It must be real hard for you to admit a sales shift without going off topic and attacking Sony financials.
Also, this is where I got the info on the scripted demo. I believe Kotaku and Eurogamer mention it.

As for your Sony losses comment. I guess the couple of profitable quarters for MS have made up the 6Billion they lost in their XBox division right?
Of course their small profit matters though right?

financial reports are offtopic now?
There never was a 6 billion loss for the Xbox. Actually the losses of the PS3 are higher than the losses of the Xbox. And this is not even this gen. Besides that, MS used this money for building up the Xbox brand and Xbox Live. Sony lost money and destroyed some of the great reputation the Playstation brand had. That is something.
I applaud Sony for selling more than X 360, but this is a MINOR success of the major failure named PS3 (in comprehension to last gen and financially - NOT for gamers)
