| selnor said: I have had a little look at the figures on VGChartz at the to launches. Ps3 slim released after the summer period into Autumn. It had a $100 price drop to boot. EDIT: 360 Elite dropped to $299 at PS3 Slim launch. The arcade stayed the same price. Making the entry price into 360 gaming the same. The 360s released bang in the middle of summer. no price drop but added features. Niether console has seen a significant game release around it's launch.
PS3 slim was doing 37,167 before slim released. 1st week 105,931 2nd week 164,166 3rd week 112, 881
360 was doing 49,828 before s released 1st week 129,325
It's worth noting that 360 week before Ps3 slim launch was 56,448 1st week Ps3 slim launch 360 was boosted too. 74,689 and the week after rose again to 87,627.
However Ps3 has seen no rise on 360s launch. week before 360s Ps3 sold 48,931 week of 360s launch saw 49,951.
These are all US numbers. What do you make of it all? |
Oh look how convienient only using american sales, if we used american sales all year we could all argue that x360 has been still outselling ps3 since it's release
now try posting world wide sales, and the x360s release no longer looks so great, even if it released in eu at the same time it would have only gotten an extra 100k at the most, japan would not really get much of a boost, maybe another 10k if they are lucky, but guess what the x360s is still cheaper than the ps3 slim was so yeah of course it's going to sell well at $199
it's the future of handheld
