Love how people only see what they want to see....

Year on year:

PS3 up 24%
Wii down 14%
360 down 21%
PSP down 34%
DS down 49%

I dont get where that comment came from? what is it people want to see? or dont want to rather

Well there are a few examples... for instance, and I paraphrase... "excellent psp sales"  "terrible 360 sales"  the YOY tells a totally different story.

Obviously 360 sales arent great, but they arent that bad.  Whereas PSP sales and DS sales are relatively awful.  This discussion is about this weeks sales and I am merely comparing to this week last year, a good barometer.

PSP sold better than the 360, so how can the 360's sales be "not that bad" and the psp sales be "relatively awful"?

Doesn't matter that the PSP sold way less year on year, it still sold much better than the Xbox 360.

Just imagine this scenario, and answer me a question -

The Wii, this week, sells 64,896 units in Others. 1000 more than the PS3.

Would the Wii be doing bad, while the PS3 was doing great?

To some people, it makes sense. To me, not really. I only care about Raw numbers xD

you know what... you are right!!

me and carl..... silly chaps.

On reflection... DS numbers are awesome and all the rest are crap.  

Mmm i never said you were wrong. I just said that to me (you know, as just me, myself) the YoY numbers don't really matter.

If you like YoY comparisson that's ok. But a lot of things change in one year, price cut, models, bundles, colors, big releases. So yeah....

I just a matter of opinion
