The 360 has shipped the same as the PS3 this last twelve months and more than the PS3 in the last six months... this means retailer demand for the 360 is higher than the PS3 at the moment, and yet VGC has the PS3 outselling the 360 by 750k this year alone? As I say... odd. |
Hmm. I think it's hard to say which console has higher retailer demand, really. In the Holidays it was 360, 100%. A lot of the first Quarter 360 huge shipment was replenishment after the sellouts on Nov/Dec, and the trackers all together actually showed that the PS3 really was outselling 360/Wii during the first 3 Months, and as we've just seen, PS3 outshipped the 360 through April - June.
I'd honestly say PS3/360 are pretty much tied for "retailer demand" right now in 2011. The next Quarter will be hugely vital for both. I think this will really be the closest Year yet between the 2!
