PS3 YoY US up 77K to 388K
PS3 YoY Japan down 25K to 40K
PS3 YoY WW up 32K to 800K
So that means PS3 Europe had to go up a decent amount YoY in Europe even though last year was GT5 launch week. Sorry dont buy it. |
how do you know this?
|
Looking at last years numbers.
PS3 311K US
PS3 65K Japan
PS3 267K Europe
PS3 768K WW
Compared to opening post that says PS3 800K with 388K US and Media Create said 40K Japan.
|
so what dont you like about it?
|
He is saying that PS3 can't be up YoY in europe this week because it had GT5 launch last year the same week.
|
A price cut is more universally appealing than a single game. TBH I can't make head nor tail of numbers as stuff keeps changing - as Kow says all over the play currently.
However, I wouldn't find it too hard to believe the price cut pushed PS3 up YOY in Europe. Even in UK it probably pushed it up a bit and outside UK probably more.
|
Seece said it was a bad estimate likely because of adjustments. No way did the PS3 nearly double WoW without any event.
|
As I said I'm not speaking to the numbers directly as they seem to keep changing, just pointing out the price cut could easily enable the PS3 to be up in Europe. How much up? Guess we'll see when the refresh stuff finally finishes. You were implying that nothing had changed for the PS3 other than the fact it didn't have GT5, I was just pointing out that it has had a price cut. I note Kow pointed out the same thing a few posts later.

Understood, but the price cut didnt happen this week it happened months ago. To hit the 800K WW number the jump would have to have been from last weeks 151K to around 300K in Europe this week. Nothing occurred this week this year. Last year the same week over week change was from 147K to 267K with GT5 releasing. Year before PS3 went from 184K to 200K. I expect this year to be more like 2009 not 2010 even with the price change that happend a couple months back.
