It's nice but the fact that GT5:P caused even a 100k increase in PS3 sales is still just a little bump when the PS3 is already 11-12 million behind.

You're missing his point. People laugh when you even hint at PS3 sales rising because of a game launch. You're proving his point by still trying to make it seem like a negative. He's not saying it's going to outsell the Wii, he is saying that it is impressive that the PS3 is that CLOSE to it's sales.


I don't recall myself saying that PS3 sales wouldn't rise, though I suppose others did. I do recall "people" saying the PS3 would sell 600k in Others alone this week as well. In fact I recall a number of people claiming that the numbers must be wrong and the PS3/GT5P is obviously undertracked, whereas I don't see a single person claiming that the PS3 is overtracked. That indicates to me that either the Sony fans are just more irrational, or that the game/sales spike didn't meet expectations.


 Being undertracked or overtracked could be a possibility. I don't really care. All I really know is you missed the point he was trying to make. If these numbers are neither overtracked or undertracked and perfectly correct, the PS3 has gotten pretty close to the Wii's sales. He didn't mention total sales. He just meant the weekly sales. He is saying that it is impressive the PS3 has gotten that close to the Wii.

 If it's overtracked, that doesn't make him irrational...he is just going by the numbers we have been provided with at the moment. If it was overtracked, his mistake...but it isn't like he has those numbers now. You were probably just meaning Sony fans in general. But if you hinted at him at all, he's not being irrational. Just going by the numbers we've been provided.

All and all, he didn't create this thread to challenge the Wii at all. If anything, he was just using it as a reference to how impressive the PS3 sales this week are. He wasn't even trying to throw a pebble at it.
