Forums - Sales - BHR-3 keeps badgering me... so... when could PS3 overtake 360?

Shoestar on 05 April 2010

That last 3 months is right after holiday seasons. So after January and hence, the average units sold should be much lower.

That percentage more PS3 sold is still the same or almost but the overall units sold is much lower for all consoles during that period of the year.

20% of 500k is 100k
20% of 300k is 60k

That's 40k difference.... if you can understand the mathematics.



I am a Gamer... I play games and not consoles. I have a PC and Console on which I game... I like games. End of Story!

so clearly you must think the ps3 has been far more supply constrained than in others? or do you expect others to jump too?

In the U.S the ps3 has been severily supply constrained, and I don't even know if there are shortages in OTHERS.

Define severly.

I struggle with this... it sold 110k this week on information that supply wasnt too bad and on the back of recent big releases; GOWIII, Heavy Rain and FFXIII.

Buty in any event... supply in Others has been fine and yet this chart shows that they are tracking similarly,  it isnt as though post holidays the PS3 sales in the US collapsed relative to Others?

help me out.

supply was coming in that week atleast by the end of it, so that caused it to increase in sales. So it should see a noticable increase for this week since there is much more supply this week *or last week, since it really is last week* .

After the stock increase, yes I do


as usual you will be wrong quite soon.

I doubt it

I don't.

k so when the ps3 outsells the 360 this week in the americas, you can come back to this thread and tell me how I was wrong.


who said this week?  There may well be some pent up demand that will be satisfied during April.. but in the medium term.. yeah.. you'll be wrong.. again.

So in other words, "I believe the 360 wil outsell the ps3 this week, and for most of this year in the americas including the forthcoming 3 months" ok sure.. lets see what happens.

If supplies came in towards the end of the week,then yeah,it will also outsell the 360 this week as well.

your link isn't working for me, and I honestly don't know but ioi has already said supply has been a big issue for the ps3.

Hmm interesting to see the PS3 loose so much steam over the past few months. I really dont think it will ever pass the 360 before the next generation of consoles are released. But i could easily be proven wrong

actually it been gaining recently more, do exclusives like god of war even in weak month lik feb it always managed to do 50k+ weekly easily, with shortages-

it's a save beat 2-3 years (enough really since that's when next gen will be starting ) maybe not before next gen, but along the way the beginning of it.

 

and it means something , neither make profits out of the gen.

It's pretty late in the generation for Sony to make a comeback and close a 5 million or so gap. The 360 will have been out for 5 years this coming holiday, while the Wii and PS3 will be hitting 4 years old. However, it's still very possible for Sony to make the PS3 runner-up for this generation. And I certainly wouldn't call the generation for Microsoft based on NO DATA WHATSOEVER (*cough* 360 slim *cough*).

no no no

you didnt read what i said...  I asked why the relative performance against others is static?  why doesnt the US line drop away from the others line if supply was that bad?

because the supply situation is just as dire in europe?



Carl on 05 April 2010

So that's when it's gonna happen.

Awesome!

Can't wait to see what they have to counter MS late this year though.
