YOY PS3 is only like 2k up where as 360 is almost 100% up yoy. So when that happens i expect you to say PS3 numbers are bad Snake based on your logic to the 360 numbers?

PS3 is in the 12th month ot si price cut and it isn't jst 2k up YOY,where the hell did you get that number
no i would not say PS3 numbers are bad as they are declining
i only said 360 numbers were bad,because i was comparing to first week number and my ownj projection that it will be 90-95k now but its already in 80'sK and will slide more next week,this way it will get almost near PS3/WII numbers which i think will be bad

PS3 numbers were 52k this week. The same week last year it did 49k. So is up 3k year over year. As pointed out this time last year there had yet to be a ps3 price cut or new model. The first week numbers for those was 5th september. Meaning a few weeks left until it has to compete with the price cut figures.
If we are basing how well each is doing on year over year sales then 360 is obviously doing very well and will obviously stay up year over year for a long long time. This is simply because for 2 years 360 basically stayed the same price. The re-model effect won't last forever but it will stay above it's yoy sales and that is a good way to judge it's success.

You are aware of the fact that sales naturally start to pick up as the summer slump ends, right? I would expect PS3 to be doing around 60k-70k in September. And that's when Move comes out and a few weeks later in October the SKU shift and a likely price cut. PS3 is basically going to be flat or up in EMEAA from October on if that occurs. And while I'm not saying that VGchartz is inaccurate I wouldn't solely be looking at their numbers for YOY comparisons, especially in a difficult to track region like EMEAA. We'll have the full picture when Gfk releases their numbers, likely at the end of the year.
