What's odd is that I don't see a spike in PS3 games. Its the usual Xbox360/Wii in North America, but I haven't seen a PS3 game break into the top 5, even with the increased console sales. Is it a possibility that the PS3 will be a PSP whereby there will be good HW sales, but poor SW sales?

is that a troll job ? or are you honestly asking.

look at +million sellers on PS3 should be telling enough.


I'm honestly asking. I don't consider the PSP to be a failure at 30 million units-- but its software attach rate lower than the DSes.

The PS3 has taken the #1 spot in America for what, two weeks now? Yet game sales for those two weeks haven't inceased accordingly. Just last week, there was DMC at a respectable #4 spot, and then the next one is COD4 is #16 out of the top 20 top games sold. A spike in PS3 sales should mean a spike on game sales, right? Iono, I just expected more PS3 games in the 20 ::shrugs shoulders::


You've got that backwards a bit, I think. Tho, you seem to be realizing that in your earlier posts. Because there was no jump in PS3 game sales, that can't be the reason for the jump in PS3 consoles sales. It would almost have to be then that a noticible amount of buyers were waiting out the conclusion of the Blu-ray / HD DVD format decision. And Blu-ray coming out on top was enough for them to decide to go with a PS3. But not for any particular game.

And 2 week of higher sales in America isn't nearly enough to offset the greater than 2:1 unit advantage that both the X360 and the Wii enjoy over the PS3.


It probably should actually, or at least enough to impact software sales by a lot.

I mean the 40 gig PS3 doesn't even come with a game. Unless these people are buying it soley for a movie player or 90% so you'd expect either a newer game or two in the top 20, or an older game suddenly making a reemergence.

Not to mention most of the time people buy more then one game with the system. Most people don't buy a game a week let alone a game a month.

Really we'll have to see NPD wise if software sales are only mildly up revenue wise, or as high up as they should be and that the software sales are just spread out among many games.
