YOY PS3 is only like 2k up where as 360 is almost 100% up yoy. So when that happens i expect you to say PS3 numbers are bad Snake based on your logic to the 360 numbers?


PS3 is in the 12th month ot si price cut and it isn't jst 2k up YOY,where the hell did you get that number

 

no i would not say PS3 numbers are bad as they are declining

 

i only said 360 numbers were bad,because i was comparing to first week number and my ownj projection that it will be 90-95k now but its already in 80'sK and will slide more next week,this way it will get almost near PS3/WII numbers which i think will be bad


PS3 numbers were 52k this week. The same week last year it did 49k. So is up 3k year over year. As pointed out this time last year there had yet to be a ps3 price cut or new model. The first week numbers for those was 5th september. Meaning a few weeks left until it has to compete with the price cut figures.
If we are basing how well each is doing on year over year sales then 360 is obviously doing very well and will obviously stay up year over year for a long long time. This is simply because for 2 years 360 basically stayed the same price. The re-model effect won't last forever but it will stay above it's yoy sales and that is a good way to judge it's success.

Xbox 360 has nearly erased a  lead ( in the EMEAA ) that the PS3 had slowly built over the last year ( thanks to PS3 slim...) in just 8 short weeks the XB360 has erased that lead in the EMEAA

don't forget that slim didn't just increase the lead but it was under 360 before PS3 SLIM so we don't know what total lead after PS3 SLIM is

and now needs only needs about 40,000 or so units sold to 'break even' in the EMEAA,

but PS3 will also increase it even more this fall plus GT5

in America its lead is increasing even more so.  About 2 months ago PS3 was about 4.6 million units behind the XB360 worldwide.. now  they are once again ( as of today with these numbers posted today ) 5.4 million units behind Xb360 wordwide.. by the end of the year they should be well over 6 million units ahead

don't be so sure of that as PS3 numbers will be boosted by GT5 and 360 gap per week is coming down every week,it could even be outsold

Overall, it's a week as we could expect, very nice for XB360, but nice also for the others, considering the slow season. Sony should cut PSP price to $99 asap, as DS is expected to drop to $99 when 3DS launches.


HAVE YOU GONE BONKERS

 

SONY has 4 more years to go,if they reduce the price to $99 then they will not have any more pricuts for 4 more years

yeah but WW numbers are up wat i was talking about

yes but you are comparing 12 month old brand change with 1 month old thing

and will obviously stay up year over year for a long long time. This is simply because for 2 years 360 basically stayed the same price. The re-model effect won't last forever but it will stay above it's yoy sales and that is a good way to judge it's success.

yes it is good.i'm not saying that they are not good,they are doing increidble numbers

i was jst stating the dropping week on week concern which might decrease further and reach PS3/WII levels

What? PSP will get destryed by the 3DS even at 99$, they should launch a successor or moving to the phone market (like some rumors seem to prove). They can't simply wait 'till the 3DS, it'll be too late at that point...cutting the price of the PSP now to 150$ (I'm speaking of the Go model) and to 79$ when a PSP2 launches should do fine.



CURRENTLY PLAYING: Xenoblade (Wii), Super mario 3D land (3DS), Guild Wars (PC)

I think you got it.  360 still slowing but gradually so nice result there.  PS3 fairly steady.  Not much else to add.

I think it was about 40K units ahead of the PS3 last week in EMEAA and is again this week too, depends on what you're comparing it to, there's no possible way any console that is 4 year sold can be expected to keep selling 80K units more, but I expect Xbox 360 to continue to outsell the PS3 weekly even if only by thousands of units thru the end of the year in the EMEAA, which 360 will have a small lead as PS3 has this year in europe..  In America its completely over and the PS3 has no chance of coming close to a 2nd place scenario..



Here is the comparision to last year.

 

System Last Year This Week %Change
DS 187,779 113,312 -39.66
PSP 67,734 30,839 -54.47
360 44,046 84,231 91.23
Wii 87,096 61,231 -29.70
PS3 49,180 52,431 6.61
Total 435,835 342,044 -21.52

I was wrong, the lead in europe is around 10-15k units for the PS3, but the fall and holiday season have been typically 360 strongest sales spikes historically, because they release all the big sellers then,  Halo has typically been a fall release game and Reach will likely outdo Halo 3.  As a halo fan speaking Halo ODST has little relevance ( because of its 5.5 million in sales is lower then other halo games ) ... ODST was not based on Master Cheif ( a genetically engineered super-human) so many fans didn't eat it up... Reach brings us back to the games roots and is actually a Pre-quel going back in time

i never said it won't

they should launch a successor or moving to the phone market (like some rumors seem to prove).

yes but that succesor will only come next year

They can't simply wait 'till the 3DS, it'll be too late at that point...cutting the price of the PSP now to 150$ (I'm speaking of the Go model)

it won't be too late

i agree with the go price cut to $150 but PSP 3000 can't go to $99 jst now

and to 79$ when a PSP2 launches should do fine.

if you think $99 isn't gonna do well what will $79 do.it isn't happening

PSP has a 10 year cycle and they will need future price cuts.$99 will happen next year

You are aware of the fact that sales naturally start to pick up as the summer slump ends, right? I would expect PS3 to be doing around 60k-70k in September. And that's when Move comes out and a few weeks later in October the SKU shift and a likely price cut. PS3 is basically going to be flat or up in EMEAA from October on if that occurs. And while I'm not saying that VGchartz is inaccurate I wouldn't solely be looking at their numbers for YOY comparisons, especially in a difficult to track region like EMEAA. We'll have the full picture when Gfk releases their numbers, likely at the end of the year.
