Software Totals:
At the same time the DS and Wii are moving a lot of hardware and the Wii's software totals are improving at a pretty steady rate. Generally speaking, stores hate carying hardware because it is expensive, takes up a lot of space and they have (very) poor margins on it; in theory (with current sales) the store may have wanted to stop carying PS2 or PS3 hardware and Sony threatened that they couldn't sell any Playstation products if they stopped supplying PS2/PS3 hardware. |
but look at the x360 hardware sales.
it is very minimal even at 250$.
the software sales of psp and ps2 are very impressive.
ofcourse compared to DS that might not be the case but the sales aof all ps products are very decent indeed.
ps3 at a high pricepoint is doing excellent in EU and decent in NA and Japan considering the killer apps are yet to arrive.
By the end of this year ps3 would regain the no1 spot in NA and Japan ...mark myn words.
In europe ps3 is doing a fantastic job despite its deflated price of 700+ $
