I did. That has happened for the past 2 years. Wii and XBox 360 have slow sales during the summer months and the PS3 usually does slightly better. Then the holidays come and Wii and XBox 360 crushes the PS3 is hardware and software sales. Happens every year. I think the only year the PS3 didn't lead the summer was the first year and the year when the 360 Slim launched. |
Saying that the 360 crushes the PS3 every year during the holidays is a bit of a stretch. In terms of shipments, the 360 has only won the 2008 holiday (well PS3 launch too, but that was the launch and it wasn't out in Europe). The PS3 led in 2007 and 2009 with 2010 being a tie. I'd hardly say that is the 360 crushing the PS3 every year. Actually if you align them, the PS3 has been higher every time. Higher Jan-Mar quarter for the PS3 as well if you want to say they overshipped. And seriously... 'the past 2 years'? You're really saying the 360 crushed the PS3 during the 2009 holiday season?
The 360 does probably get a bigger boost though since its sales are more American centric, and the US tends to peak more in the holidays.
