It would have to be something unrealistically drastic for that not to happen

So you think that MS and Nintendo will just sit still and not drop prices. Remember that Sony is the one that has cut prices the most this gen.  MS has dropped prices on the 2 main SKUs by a total of $100 each.  Sony $300.

Preview of next week:  Week ending Nov 14 2009. The holiday boost is upon us.  360 and PS3 got COD:MW2 last year this week. This year they get COD:BOps and 360 get Kinect launch in EMEAA as well as continued boost in NA.

Console Weekly (change) Total
DS 585,816 ( 20%) 113,007,624
Wii 539,707 ( 15%) 55,912,595
X360 437,915 ( 41%) 33,333,254
PS3 407,293 ( 26%) 26,751,024
PSP 209,583 ( 8%) 52,860,731
PS2 88,025 ( 17%) 134,449,352


The 199 cut is most important, the vast majority of consoles sold are sold after a system hits 199, especially in America. PS3 is at a big disadvantage not having a 199 sku, but it still is selling very well. The 199 ps3 will be the final cut in the console war. 

Yes we have heard that time and time again.  We only have history of the Playstation and Playstation 2 selling at $199 to base this on when they had already won the previous generations.  Things will play out very differently this time with the 2 consoles in front of the PS3 probably at the $100 price point when the PS3 hits $200.

Do you believe we'll see a $100 console this gen? Alriiight...

And just for those people that really hate my weekly REACH update...

REACH passes 6m in its first 8 weeks!

So after 8 weeks:

REACH: 126,000 for the 8th week and 6,038,792 to date.

HALO3: 116,219 for the 8th week and 5,570,706

Almost 500k ahead now.

Hopefully this grates on you as much as usual...

 

 

Thank god it's selling better with 3 times more userbase. =p No tbh it was expected that the game would sell well, no big surprise here.

Awesome! Thanks. I was actually waiting for this. If sales keep up at this rate I'll have been just 50 k short with my prediction for the first 10 weeks (6.25 mill). We should go dig up that thread and post these there for fun to see who was closest.

That's hardly anything. I know most people are going to say that Kinect has only been available for 2-3 days, but most sales take place during the first 2-3 days.

The three home systems are in a virtual tie with the biggest gap being 29K.

Kinect and Move might be making a little noise right now, but they've just been released and it's the holiday season. Their impact will fade after the holidays are over.


You'd be right if it was SW - but hardware is totally different trends in sales, especially when black Friday is around the bend.  Why would prospective Christmas shoppers rush out 2 weeks before the sales/deals start?  Please.
