| HappySqurriel said: Crunch the numbers yourself ... Sony claimed 27,000 PS3 systems were sold in the first 10 days of the PS3's launch; it has been 14 weeks since the PS3's launch and now they're claiming a total of 50,000 units. This means that they have averaged 3,571.4 systems per week including the launch and 1,289.5 systems per week not including the launch. Nintendo claimed 32,000 systems in their launch week were sold and it has been 29 weeks and 2 days since their launch; they have claimed that they have sold an additional 68,000 systems since then. This works out to being 3,414.6 systems per week including the launch and 2,404.0 systems per week not including the launch. The PS3 should have a massive advantage in the non-launch numbers because (typically) a system has much higher average weekly sales for a while after launch than they have 6 months in; and yet its average weekly sales (outside of launch) are noticeably lower than the Wii. The likely hood that the PS3 is outselling the Wii on a weekly basis is pretty small, and it should be obvious why the PS3 will not break 100,000 units faster than the Wii. |
What? Don't bring facts and logic into the discussion. You should just accept everything Sony says and not analyze it at all.
