HAH! You don't ACTUALLY think anyone uses the Julian calendar anymore, do you? |
No, but folks in Europe do.
The holidays are a beast - boosted numbers and the like - but while the numbers stay up? Of course not! And why did the PS3 see huge numbers during the holidays? Folks buying PS3s as gifts. When the holiday rush wears off, please give reasons why someone would buy a PS3 over a 360. Sure, gaming lineups, but is that enough to keep this going? Look at the numbers - how big the PS3 leads were. They are shrinking. For a machine that's supposed to be dominating, it's gonna be a long year for the PS3.
The 360, problems and all, still has the largest and best lineup for any next-gen console.
Yeah, the 360 will likely lose this week, but the margin between the PS3 and 360 in sales will soon vanish. Goodness, look at the NA numbers vs. the Others numbers. There's just like 2K difference!
I am telling you - there's no compelling reason for folks to buy a PS3 - or even a 360 right now. The real thing the 360 offers is a lower price point for next-gen gaming. And you can even pick up a used 360 at Gamestop for just $199.
As someone stated earlier, check out the attach rates. If they surge, the domination is real. If not, pull out your crying towels ....
