Sony Hypes January Sales

[Diomedes1976]

Well Sony has to hype up its machines ....just as the competitors do . Still ,being the 3 out of 3 consoles of the next generation is a bad sign.244k is a good number ,surprisingly good for a 600$ console,and it is the machine whose hardware moves more money ,but all said and done it still comes third .Yes ,things could improve something ...after all there hasnt been a single PS3 game in January and the supply while more than enough in some areas has been insuficient in others (for what I hear finding a PS3 in NYC and other big cities is still very very difficult )so supplying those cities could improve general numbers .Then ,the games must start to appear .....Oblivion ,NBA Homecourt ,F1 ,Motorstorm ,Virtua Fighter 5 ,Virtua Tennis 3 ,Rainbow Six ,Splinter Cell DA ,FEAR and all the others .....but being frank most of those wont arrive until march so the data of february will keep being the worse of the next gen machines .In march or april things should start to pick up a bit .In any case if Sony sees that the other machines are out of reach it should react quick ,unlike with the PSP ,and lower the PS3 price .Once this machine is at 400-500 $ with all its features it will sell like hotcakes . As for its others consoles ...well PS2 is still beating the X360 ,and if we have to believe the numbers the software sold has increased numbers year from year .Thats really incredible ...the PS2 is living its 8 year in the market ( if you include 2000 ) and it still kicks butts . Things are looking quite good for the PSP .This month its sales have been close to the DS and the software sold has remained strong (more than 1.5 million games sold and rewarding many third parties ) .The PSP sells strongly when it has good software and it is receiving very good games recently ....Sid Meier Pirates! ,Ratchet & Clank Size Matters ,The Warriors ,Gurumin ,Metal Gear Portable Ops ,Ace Combat X ,GTA Vice City Stories .......its a pity that the DS still outsells it only because mainly games of the 2005 as Brain Training,Mario Kart and Nintendogs and the usual Mario Bros and Pokemon ......I sometimes wonder if those games will carry the DS for the rest of the lifetime of the console ....
