| CrazzyMan said: Japan has a slower start to the holiday period than the US does. The Wii also experienced a drop after first week, though it did launch with more units, but it didn't really recover at all the next week. So I still don't really believe. Also, I think a lot of sales were eBayers thinking the PS3 would be out of stock for a while with it's limited launch stock. +drops show demand, ps3 also had BIG demand, but shipments were SO low, that it wasn`t noticeble that much in later weeks.+IF you DON`T believe in PS3 success - LEAVE this thread. =))) So.. statement "PS3 is doing in Europe better then Wii or PS2" - That sounds fair, right? Yes, I did use "Total Others" to show how each console had done up to that point in "Total Others," is it fair to compare(SHOW) ps3 sales in others(which did only 30k in first 16 week), with x360/wii/ps2/gc sales in others of their first 16 weeks?Hey, i am just showing how ps2 and ps3 are doing up to that point(2nd year life sales). =)) NOTE: i also mentioned differences. =] I hope, now you finally got the point of the thread and why it`s fair. x360 cost around 735$ to produce on the launch. x360 launch cost M$ over 1 bln. $. And if the PS3 falls much farther this week, it won't hit PS2 numbers, Yeah, first 3 weeks of January. How do you know, that 299$ costing PS3 in usa since January 28th is Fake? =)) Also can you say how much will sell DMC4 on ps3 and x360 in every region in first weeks? =)) |
You took everything I said completely out of context. It's not even funny. =)
I don't think drops show demand. Obviously if a console is sold out then drops occur due to short supply. Also, supply issues (mostly in NA) were sorted out by the 2nd week of January. =)
Don't even go back to the "is it fair..." thing. I clearly stated that I used Total Others, and clearly stated that one had to adjust Other sales because of the early Hong Kong release. I then switched to Europe only to eliminate the need to do so. =)
The price cut won't help this weeks sales, if there's even a price cut. =)
I can't say how much that game will sell because I don't really make predictions, and I don't even know the game nor know anything about it. =)
I am leaving this thread, which is too bad for you because it seems I'm the only one that's actually reading it. And it's not that I don't believe in the PS3 success, I even tried to show how it's not doing as bad as a lot of people say, but everytime I do, you simply quote me wrong. Have fun comparing the sales. Everyone else (which might not be anyone) who wants a different angle on comparisons, can download the comparisons I have available in my sig. =)))
