| selnor said: Good to see PS3 sales increase over christmas. I expect them to drop to last throughout the year again though. However, Look at the game attachment sales on this site. Gaming wise for Sony this is serious trouble. Call of Duty 4 has sold 4.3 mill on 360 and only 2.6 mill on PS3. Uncharted has only sold a measily 1 mill. Ratchet and Clank 750,000 The orange box is also dire on PS3. My point is I take an educated guess that 30% of PS3's are sold purely for the Bluray films. It's the cheapest way to view Bluray. And these people arent interested in the games side. This poses a big problem for Sony. Developers will be reluctant to bring everything to the console. And with these attachment rates so far behind 360, Microsofts machine remains firm favourite for devs first choice. And for that matter It's definately the gamers system. It's a shame because the PS2 was so good. Hell I still play mine now. Another problem Sony have is that the porn industry is and will always be exclusive to HDdvd because Sony turned them down(same thing happened in betamax era). So HDdvd will never fade away because of the porn industry. Where Sony go from here I dont know? |
total 360's sold divided by total ps3's sold = 1.764929 times as many 360's
total ps3 sowtware sold this week = 631,172
total 360 software sold this week = 1,027,542
1.764929 times 631,172 = 1113973.907
If they had an identical install base the ps3 would have sold 86431.907 more games
the numbers have been this way for awhile now
also in regards to your other comment

We missed this story while we were wandering around the halls of AVN, checking out streaming porn boxes, but apparently Digital Playground is dropping HD DVD in favor of Blu-ray in 2008. Joone, the founder of the video label, says they're dropping it not just because Warner and other companies switched, but because their Blu-ray titles actually outsold HD DVDs already. What can we take from this? One, Digital Playground and other studios will probably stop selling HD DVD porn by the end of 2008. Two, PlayStation 3 owners really like porn in their living rooms.
