lets predict the sales of the three consoles during the week of black friday

Wii - 750k

360 - 550k

PS3 - 560k


750k for 1 Week ? No way.

Lool at this numbers :

http://journal.pcvsconsole.com/?thread=11067

Most of the time it's difficult to sold a console @ 750k for the whole november month...

I'd say :

Wii - 380k

360 - 250k

PS3 - 175k


now those numbers (link and yours) seems a bit to low for every console, this is for the week of black friday not just black friday. the week of does include Walmart's Saturday buy a PS3 and get 10 Blu-ray movies free deal. lol


 You need to look at past years, I think people are seriously overdoing it here.


 you have to also look at the fact the retailers have started their holiday sales Nov 1st so there were even deals at Walmart on Thanksgiving (yes they were open on thanksgiving)

 I won't be shocked if I have lowballed it a bit, but I am damn near positive you and several others are way above the actual numbers.  Sorry but not many people are going shopping on thanksgiving...certainly not enough to expect the increase for the week of black friday is going to be up like 900% year over year.

Wii 590.000 XBOX360 390.000 PS3 290.000



Quality for Life

I'll go with SSJ on this one: I'll bet the Wii clearly had the most, with PS3 and 360 close to each other and PS3 slightly outselling the 360. 

No actual figures, that's just my general guess.

^^This is all I am saying, if people are right and there is a huge increase in sales this year that has never happened before then I would gladly eat my crow, but I just don't see it with prior sales data contradicting it thoroughly.

Is this worldwide or just US. Im thinking just the US by your predictions.

if the sales numbers are for us only, then its too high.

It would be nice if people clarified if they're predicting worldwide or NA sales.

Agreed, I would also prefer those folks just edit their posts rather than creating a new kludge of clarification posts which then have to be matched back to the original post..etc...
