PS3 will go down more than 360 this week, anyone saying otherwise is just wishful thinkng. It'll drop 30k in Japan, harder in NA (thanks to the GT5 boost it got there, grew this most this week) and stay on par or grow smaller than 360 will in EMEAA.


Actually unit wise probably no. As X360 had a lot higher BF sales in NA it will go down more unit wise than PS3. Just look at last year sales week after BF week in NA. Also in Japan there is new Tales game and starting holiday lift so PS3 will probably see only small drop if it drops at all (Holiday lift starts later in japan because there new year is more important day than christmas eve). EMEAA numbers are hardest to predict. Depends how many units GT5 moved and does it have still effect this week.

We have PS3 losing 30k in Japan, but I admit sometimes our preview is really off.

NA, consoles that have buzz don't drop off sharp after BF (like Wii last year) 360 just got it's highest ever BF, it's not gonna drop off at same rate as PS3, which will drop harder than last year.

Though regarding last year post BF week sales for Wii it was first time ever that console went up after BF week. 2008,2007, 2006 etc. all consoles went down. Of course Kinect has been pretty big in NA so in theory X360 could be only slightly down. I don't think so though. We shall see soon enough.

Exactly what I was saying.

Well we'll see, it's not like you were right last week was it CGI?

PS3 rose an extra 30% in na this week than 360 thanks to GT5, but likely more than that, as on BF 360 was a more attractive deal to consumers. Next week in NA PS3 will lose not only it's BF boost but its GT5 boost as well.

Yeah, because I always claim to be right.

I swear, you have changed a lot.

I havn't changed at all, still same old Seece!

I know  you don't claim to be right, but you didn't give 360 a fair whack in your predictions (and were wrong) and you're likely making same mistake again this week.

Which could be said of you towards the PS3.

No not really, I thought PS3 would outsell 360 last week by at least 100k since GT5 launch week was announced. Don't try and throw it back at me when you make dud predictions :-S

OK Seece, whatever you say. I'm always the bad guy and you aren't ever wrong, ever.

I see why people have stopped dealing with you altogther. Keep your view, but you can't/won't change my prediction here. You don't like it, that's just too bad.

Hey, I'm wrong my fair share of times, and I'm not saying there is anything wrong with ... being wrong. But it's pointless predicting when you let your bias get in the way (and I'm talking generally not specifically you)

and, I really don't care what you think about next weeks sales, nor do I want to change your mind, just pointing out the obvious is all.

I hope more of you decide to stop "dealing" with me, make my  time on here a lot more enjoyable

OK, last post to you:

The 360 had far higher BF sales, so I expect a larger drop off because of that. It has nothing to do with bias/preference/favorites. That's just how things usually work on a drop, the higher the sales, the bigger the drop. Could this time be different, sure, but I'm not expecting such.

As for your last sentence, I don't usually quote you, so I don't generally look to deal with you at all. You just love to find ways to attack my character (usually derailing the topic), as if I don't own the damn 360. Let's remember something, you've spoken negatively of the PS3 when you don't even have one. I at least own the 360 and play/enjoy it.

But that, as usual, is as trivial as it is off-topic.

It's a console in much demand (heck nearly came first vs Wii!) VS PS3 that had GT5. Demand will still be v great for 360 (this) next week w/e. Wii has proven sales can go up after BF (considerably) if the console is in enough demand.

I don't speak negatively of the PS3, ever, I may talk about it's sales VS 360 HW and SW, but I never attack PS3 or it's SW, heck, even Sony these days. That's something I never have any intention or will to do. I consider PS3 a better peice of HW than 360, oops, bet you didn't think I thought that did you!

And I'm not to sure on your suppose love for 360, but you're right that's off topic, so if you want the last word you know where my wall is, for some civilised chat

360, Wii, PS3 will all be down in NA, a year of something is not a trend.

 

I see it that way.

PS3

Japan__35K

Others__330K

America__270K

360

Japan__5K

Others__250K

America__400K

Wii

Japan__47K

Others__400K

America__550K

It seems obvious, Wii, xbox 360, PS3 this  holiday seasons, I really think now the 360 will come close to 2 weeks selling a million.
