@magik10 : Mmmm what is this meltdown ? Sorry if I offended you, I just pointed facts, which is "NPD is US only" which doesn't give any indication on the worldwide status. I don't see what is fanboyish in reminding people NPD is US only and therefore not so relevant.

On a worldwide scale, Sony PS3 is now very successful since it sells a lot more than its cheaper competitor (millions more in recent months).

Making less and less profit on older models is obvious. Wow I'm so fanboyish when I say all that !

The more PS3 sells, the more PS3 profit will of course make up for that lost profit in PS2... Same thing as the PS1/PS2 transition actually.

If you can't stand people opinions, why do you come in a forum ?

US is the biggest gaming market. You can't just go "but but but WW!!!!" to make yourself feel better anytime you see negative news in one territory or another. Anyone can see the spin and angle you're taking.

 

What he's saying is the PS3 sells badly in NA so it only shows one side of the story like showing Xbox's sales in Japan and others excluding NA

PS3 isn't as badly as "360 in Japan" anywhere, that's pretty much an incomparable situation.  And honestly, I'd say PS3's doing far, far worse in Japan than America anyway.
