3,5m : 14 weeks = 250k a week              

 

It's a DS level of sales ha ha ha


This says it all, if you guys think Sony PS3 is consistantly selling at the same rate as DSthen you are all deluded.

I cannot BELIEVE how many people are saying

"SONY STUFFED THE CHANNEL"

Yeah well the same thing was said last shipment time......so many people said when the last shipment was revealed that "SONY must have STUFFED the channelz"!

So if SONY "STUFFED" during last quarter do you think retailers are stupid enough to let them "STUFF THE CHANNELS" this quarter too.....HELL NO. Retailers won't let SONY stuff channels 2 quarters in a row.

Retailers would be more "cautious" of the PS3 this quarter if they felt SONY had stuffed last quarter

So what is it.....do we now accept SONY didn't stuff channels last quarter? Giving retailers the confidence to let SONY stuff channels this quarter?

This isn't a nursery school....retailers don't have a sudden urge to order in 2.7 Million more PS3's than they could possibly sell......puh-lease.


That was an epic post

And now please do me the favor and answer this post so we can make sure you didn't collaps while writing this

Can someone explain me this. If gap between ps3  and x360 is so small why games are selling better on x360 in spite of piracy.


because games are not selling better on 360,, except for FPS

Your right 360 has a 120million lead in software sales because of call of duty and halo... Because the 70 exclusive sony ips can't negate that... The only games that truely mostly sell better on the ps3 are hack and slash games and soccer games.

Just adjust the ps3 sales above the wii please so these people will shut up. You guys are seriously inpatient. Its very likely that numbers will be adjusted up for the ps3, just be patient and don't expect it to happen the day sony releases their shipment info. Its also very easy to understand that if the ps3 is shipped to many more markets then the wii and 360 then it is very likely is overshipped compared to the other two consoles since there are more retailers that can just have ps3s sitting on shelves. Like you guys state a small amount of consoles overshipped in all these areas adds up to a lot, unless that only counts for sales.

no one is saying that the 3.5m is sold but clearly shops would not have ordered as much stock if they did not need it, do we need to explain it again to you??

the fact that the shipment exceeds what the source alone thought pretty much confirms that vgc has underestimated ps3 once again, end of the story is 2.6m ps3's is too many to have in warehouses and shelves, like it or not it's true

True if we look at 2010 software from VGC:

Worldwide Software Totals

Console Yearly (change) Total (tie ratio)
Wii 91,665,438 (-49%) 523,444,090 (7.01)
X360 75,146,546 (-34%) 392,564,999 (8.92)
PS3 74,969,156 (-19%) 278,874,492 (7.16)
DS 69,633,027 (-52%) 587,493,355 (4.34)
PSP 23,760,752 (-36%) 172,317,875 (2.84)
PS2 9,661,388 (-65%) n/a
PC 3,404,698 (-) n/a

We can see that buying power of PS3 userbase is similar to buying power of X360 userbase and both of them are aproaching Wii levels even when counting WSR and WSR as sales.

if there are 1.5 mil PS3's just lying around maybe if we petition SONY and whoever it is that they overshipped to nicely enough, they'll be kind enough to sell them to folks like us (maybe about a million of us) for cheap - say $5?

I know I could do with another PS3 around the house...maybe it's worth a try...

X360 numbers match.

Wii numbers match.

PS3 numbers don't match.

 

Sony was expecting huge demand due to the "Slim effect", Move launch, they wanted to match their 15 m prediction and they overshipped IMHO.

 

It is more plausible that Sony selling gazilions of PS3 "somewhere" IMHO.

What??? They overshipped this quarter, last quarter and before this... so when Sony will stop to overship PS3 to world? And where are all these millions of PS3?

LOL

I wouldn't bother with it if I were you.  Obviously, he isn't going to think about this rationally.  He's also not going to back up his claims either.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

EDIT: THOSE 40 odd people who voted no are in clear denial, there is no way that Sony would allowed to stuff the channels this long without going unnoticed!!
