Next couple of weeks should get even more interesting, Once GT5 launches, it will definitely mute the effect Kinect has on the weekly gaps between the 360 and PS3.

Holiday sales will be very close between all 3.


No , it won't but i'll let the sales' numbers speak for themeselves...


52 posts, wow you are quite the expert.


since when does post numbers count for anything? Look how many posts I have....not very many...but guess how long I've been on this site looking at the sales every week and reading the forums. Would you believe it if I said ever since January of 2007? (about three months after the ps3 launched yea that long ago)

I'm not saying I agree with what he said but post count has nothing to do with his experience and I know I for one Idon't want my opinion to be downgraded or considered less just because I don't have very many posts because I've been here before alot of the active members of this site have.

I've been here you just haven't been able to see me but it doesnt mean I haven't been keeping up with the sales debates and figures. I'm sorry if I've taken this a bit to personally but post count is by no means a measurement of how experienced you are or how much you know.

I could just as easily argue that certain members of this site that have thousands of posts have no clue what they're talking about.

true posts dont have to do with anything, but when someone says that the post of another is completly wrong without showing proof you have to do something.

 

How would i be able to show proof about.... what will happen ...in the future ??The guy made a prediction and my prediction is that he will be proven wrong.

I think that kinect will be huge and push an insane ammount of 360s, esp. in NA, and  since the launch week of GT5 is the same with the launch week of kinect (in NA ) i believe that the ammount of 360s sold in NA in that week (which i believe will be huge, much bigger than the reach bump) will be more than enough to counter the European&Japanese ps3 GT5 bump in that week. So even in GT5 launch week there's a very  good chance that the 360 will outsell the ps3. After that week there won't even be a comparison, the 360 will destroy the ps3 for the rest of 2010.

 

that's assuming Nintendo doesn't cut the price of the Wii, which would KILL Kinect sales

 

parents would see a $ 150 Wii versus a $ 300 Kinect bundle, and which one do you think they will buy?

especially in this economy

 

If I were Nintendo I would cut the price of the Wii and soon, it would boost Wii hardware, AND destroy the launch of Kinect!

and besides, neither Move or Kinect has a killer app like the Wii had with Wii Sports, they have nothing like it

Why are we comparing Pokemon and Halo? What's next, Call of Duty vs. Nintendogs?


But they're all comparable indeed, because they are all about sex!

Call of Duty = machismo and penis size

Nintendogs = bestiality

Pokemon = fetishism

Halo = this is maybe the less obvious: Master Chief is Village People's lost member, and while the rest of the band made gay music for everybody, he makes gay games for everybody.

Master Chief and Call of Duty should get together.



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

Pokemon on top - awesome!

Wii sales - not so awesome

Yeah, actually there is a considerable overlapping about the machismo aspect, but Master Chief's gaudy uniform just happens to fit perfectly in the Village People's assortment, while CoD uniforms, totally about camouflage, colourless practicalness and cold efficiency of modern warfare, don't fit well in the garish atmosphere of the Village.   

Anyhow I'm sure they get perfectly together in their free time!

Wii's gonna get beat even worse next week with FIFA. Then the week after is Wii Party... we'll see how that goes.


Well Wii Party didnt push hardware in Japan what makes anyone think it will push hardware in NA and EMEAA?



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

Wait, you don't think GT5 will push PS3 hardware?

GT5 will push hardware for a couple weeks, king of like Halo Reach, but it isn't going to have a massive weekly sales boost.  I honestly can't think of a single game that has ever had an effect that has lasted more than a few weeks.  

And you expect more from Kinect?

Honestly yes. Move and Kinect are designed to boost sales over a longer term than a core/enthusiasts game.

Some of the comments in these threads.... Well. HD sales are nowhere near great, or even good. Everything that follows here is fact:

PS3 is doing horribly - yes it's up 9% vs. last week (has to, since Move is now in more territories), but despite Move, it is still DOWN 35% YOY .

While up YOY a little, the effect of the redesign and Halo  for 360 is wearing off - 360 is DOWN 29% from last week.

Wii is down 10% YOY and down 1% from last week. This "down" pales vs. the above. But I guess what makes many posters' day is that "their" console/s sell more for a given week (or month. or year. or always) than the Wii. I find this rather sad.
