PS3 sales in America disappoint me. Seriously.


Didn't sales go up compared to last week? Next week is going to be big for PS3 in america.

Not really the point. The gap between the PS3 and its competitors there is big.

Here's hoping it picks up during Black Friday.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

Why do people think the PS3 is undertracked in America? Others is hard to track but America should be a lot easier though could be more difficult during the Holidays...PS3 just isn't strong in America just be happy that its selling very well in Others and should be in Japan as well next week.

I might be mistaken, or maybe just missed the post...

But did anyone here even say that the PS3 was being undertracked in America?

Yup...dreamcast 210 said:

"My thoughts:

1. Wii numbers are accurate.

2. I really believe that the PS3 is undertracked, especially in the Americas.

3. The 360/Kinect is also undertracked. But not near as bad as the PS3

Just my thoughts and I have nothing to substantiate them. Time will tell if I am correct"

It could have been just him but I thought others may have said this too but I don't know.

You can always tell who wins each week depending on who makes the thread!

 

Wii winning the week seems to be creating quite a stir...

Just looked back and the automatic well Nintendo always increases more during holidays is false. Previously gen GCN only increased past Xbox in 2003 when Nintendo dropped to $99.99 and in 2005 after 360 released.  Yes Wii has previously increased huge during holidays, but everything this year was pointing to different results.  I really will be very interested in seeing the NPD numbers for November when they leak.  Think the calculations giving Wii as big an icrease this year will need to be adjusted.


Why are you so suspicious of the Wii resurgence? As I said, DKC is going to be a bombshell, as it is a highly popular 2D platformer that has potential to really move hardware. Then you have the Red Wii bundle, the conintued strength of NSMB, Mario Allstars, Just Dance 2, Kirby, Goldeneye, Michael Jackson, etc, and the normal holiday boosts that usually favor Nintendo.

Wii sales have been poor the majority of this year because Nintendo has had virtually NO games that appeal to a wide audience and reinvigorate Wii sales. Basically, from Jan - Sep in 2010, the biggest Wii releases were: Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid Other M, both of which were clearly NOT hardware movers.

In the recent weeks, this has changed. Remember, software is what drives hardware sales. Sony and MS can throw out all the hardware addons they want, but at the end of the day, the populatiry of the GAMES is what is going to drive hardware sales, and there are no killer aps on those add ons that are pushing hardware. Black Ops is really the only recent hardware mover for the HD consoles.


would you please list all these new games that has been pushing wii sales the last couple weeks?

All you have to do is look at the top 10 to find that out.. NSMB, an extremely popular game, has extended its influenece into this year, as well as Wii Party, Michael Jackson, and DKC. Evergreen titles have the ability to power a console for an extended period of time. Wii has a number of 10 million selling games, and rest assured these games are helping it to sell this holiday.

I could answer your question with another question.. What new games should be pushing the HD console besides Call of Duty?

I don't publish the console sales, so I don't see why I should have to justify the numbers. These numbers are just estimates, and could be very far off. I don't deny that. But this is what has been posted. If you're that skeptical of the vgchartz numbers, just wait for NPD and leave it at that..

You made a claim, I ask you to back it up, which you can't. Looking around, it seems the Wii has the best bundles this year, and as usual Mario plays a huge role. The 360 is selling software as much as the Wii and the PS3 is not that far off. They  all have software.

And I am answering saying the EVERGREEN titles, along with Donkey Kong, Just Dance 2, Michael Jackson, Kirby, Wii Party, and the soon to be released Epic Mickey in conjunction with the normal holiday boost is what lifting sales. Sure there are bundles, but why do you think people are buying those consoles in the first place, to stare at the pretty glossy textures?

and just like that, Darth manages to derail the thread by bringing up FF XIII sales.

Next week there will be no need to derail as PS3 will be on top!!!!!!!! (hopefully)


What's that got to do with anything?

The mere mentioning of FF XIII itself reignites my hatred for that disappointing game. There should be some kind of gamer awareness campaign so no one else tastes the bitterness I and countless others were poisoned with.

Disappointing for you, one of the best games this gen for me and countless others.

Deal with it.

Countless? You mean zero, correct? ;)

 

I am maybe, MAYBE the only person who vaguely enjoys FF13 who I know, and even then, it wasn't good enough for a place in my Top 50...

Overall I feel as though the delays/better graphics hurt it. It was good, but without the towns, customisable party, free-roaming aspects, levelling up etc., it didn't "feel" like FF. I think that's why not many people enjoyed it...

Famitsu Readers voted FF13 the 3rd best game of all time....not just of this gen, or year......but of all time. Enough people thought it was good enough to vote it that high. The numbers already more than zero

With a quick google search, other than the endless forums dedicated to angry and disappointed fans, I was able to stumble on 4 websites that had FF XXIII in the top 10 most disappointing games lists. 2 of them at the #1 spot.

Now think of how many people may think of it at least as one of the best games this gen.

Think how many people think of this game as the biggest disappointment of all time.

There are countless people who believe FF13 is one of the best games of this gen that I know.

Everyone I personally know who played it believes FFXIII to be the worst FF of all time.

Games not many people enjoy simply don't sell as well as FF13 has, sorry but they just don't.....you would have seen major decline in sales for the franchise.....but as it stands FF13 is on its way to become the 2nd best selling title in the franchise in Europe and 3rd in America....something it should't be showing if not many people enjoy it.

Final Fantasy is a powerful name, add to that it has been 5 years since the last one. People got hungry for a console FF. Even I went out and bought it.

Say all you want about sales don't equal quality.....but games people don't enjoy usually do sell bad.

EXACTLY
