As for the PS3, it's easy to be up YoY when its numbers were previously very low. It's relative. To the sensitive Sony fans: I may have mispoke when I said PS3 packed it in, but now that the slim and pricecut have run their course, and the Move doesn't seem like it'll effect the hardware (since the technology has already existed for 4 years and the Move games don't seem to do anything different), I'm simply saying that Sony has shown most of their cards. It always baffles me that everyone seems to think PS3 will be this magical console that will last forever. It's just not the case people.

I'm not saying Wii and 360 will sell like gangbusters while PS3 collapses, I'm just saying PS3 will decline like everything else, and going from the evidence, It seems to be sooner rather than later. You have to look at the upcoming PS3 library as evidence of the console's future, the one thing that funny enough no one seems to mention. Judging from the future library, there isn't much for my mind that will keep the PS3 at the high it's been during the past year. You can't say anything critical of Sony on this site, it's getting silly.

Not really. You are using this week as a reference, when wii got nothing, and the ps3 just got something [some] sony/ps3 fans called "would change and pushed the ps3 above the wii" so.... i dont see anything wrong there, do you?

But let me tell you what is even FUNNIER. Last gen ps2 sold ~140 plus million units, and the Game Cube a lil bit more than 20 millions.... and everyone thought Ps3 was gonna destroyed EVERYTHING this gen, and that the wii wans't going to do shit.... That's how a might fell... and hard. Being in 3rd place... Now, that's what I really call something funny, and how things can really change.

Now, between Ps3 and Wii, again saying is struggling, when last week we saw Wii at 140K and Ps3 at 120K or something like that... thats 20K difference... added to the already large advantage the wii has. Really, there's no point in worrying about the wii. A year ago was the same history, and just look at how everything turned out to be =)

And you can't really talk about sales in the future.... we don't even know 'em right now.

But I thought the Halo brand was waning....

Don't ask me, I'm not Nintendo. I'm guessing you didn't catch it, but I actually said Wii will probably be in pretty steady decline for most of next year. There is Zelda which will do well, but beyond that I don't see much, at least not yet. There is the potential for Vitality Sensor and its flagship game to be a mega hit, then there's DQX and probably Pikmin 3, and who knows what else.

Are you saying the PS3 has no games for next year to keep the console interesting to the general public?

Like I said, it's funny how things can change up really quickly.

Last week the Wii still had Wii Legacy deals going on from the week before.

And there's no point in worrying about the PS3 :)

Yes, funny that you compare in a week where PS3 had just a huge peripheral launch and Wii had practically nothing for so long. And still, PS3 came on top by a few k units. Such minor spikes happen, you gotta look at the greater picture here.

Well if you mean it like that well yeah, wii will be back on top... so things changed again :O that's, well... kind of stupid.

And don't worry, I'm not worry about ps3... or wii, or x360 sales, I only worry about playing the games they provide me... sales, that's extra

Come now, don't be naive.  It isn't hard to realize Sony went into damage control the moment they realised which way Move's early sales were going to go.

Investment from third parties will ONLY occur if/when Move reaches sufficient numbers or anticipate numbers to sustain profitable sales.  First week in Europe says that is a long way off, if it ever comes.

Sony needs a killer app.

Looks like MW2 is going to hold onto the title for biggest week on the 360, since Reach is looking to run 500k units behind already.  regardless, pushing almost a million units is hardly anything to sneeze at...but more importantly, it looks like Halo is still the premiere 1st party IP for now.
