Yeah he could be talking about 360's year in USA, taking a wild guess here but all his comments could be attached to HW numbers for US.

It sounds insecure to plea people to constantly look at WW figures in an NPD thread. That's what WW up is for .. this is NA ... USA.


The PS3 is having its best year in NA in 2010. satisfied.

Sure

His comments were just that though, not a press release. He doesn't need to talk about how they're all doing on a yearly scale, I guess it's just more noticeable 360 is doing amazing in NA this year VS PS3 vs past years. Given the whole "360 leading 6 month in a row" and all that malarky.



 


I hate that post button

Maybe there was nothing to report.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

.... *speechless*

The 360 has had a monster year.  Microsoft has done such a great job setting this up that I find myself rooting for it.

The Wii once casts a 'silence' spell on all the doubters, haters, and doomsayers - they don't have much to say now.

The PS3...uhmmm...

The DS question is 'how high can it go?'  We're well beyond the 'when will it pass the PS2?' question.

Where are the PSP numbers?

The PS3 is having its best year ever.

True.  But THESE numbers from NPD ain't lookin' so hot - which is what my post is directly in reference to.


Your first sentence was 360 having a monster year.....So is the PS3 which you failed to say a word about. Go look at previous Thanksgivings NPD, the PS3 always gets a beating even last year after the Slim. It's just not what people choose during those times for some reason. So, let's celabrate the 360, they have done something amazing here. You are looking at the cup half full.

Please don't be mad and try to pick a fight with me.

360 is having a monster year.  The PS3 is, like you said, having a great year as well, but its performance hasn't been nearly as impressive or suprising to me as the 360's. My offering commentary specifically on the 360's 2010 sales and not the PS3's just goes to show I'm more impressed with 360's sales - not so much PS3's.

I don't think you should try to dictate what one should say in a post.  That's gettin' a lil' crazy now.  No one has to mention or not mention specifics about PS3 just to make you feel better.

Exactly, yet despite that it's posting it's best figures ... out of the 3 holidays it's been $299, do you get my post now BHR?

I don't see anyone say "PS3 is doomed"

Black Ops is a success, but judging by all the figures MS released, (and Nintendo) they're both BIG successes this November as well.

Were you not saying PS3 was gonna be adjusted after NPD? You got your wish it seems.

i get your post but some of these comments in here are a little over exaggerated to me, i mean i can come up with a whole bunch of achievements and stats on a global level for my preferred console in fact i have one in my sig

its posting its best holiday figures this year b/c out of the last 3 yrs at 199 and 299 this year MS offered more console for the money combined this with kenict launch and mega american desired SW releases like cod and AC ect..  Its a no brainier for the american audience on which console to choose when desiring those types of SW.  While sony has been pretty competitive on WW level at price no lower that 299, it actually has been offering less console for the money recently with the exception of the HHD sizes 

it also doesnt really matter if its been 199 for 3 yrs or even 5yrs when your at the low price level and one uping the competition that is $100 more by adding desired features to the HW, acquiring time exclusive DLC for mega franchises, and releasing a motion devise with mega budget advertising to compete with its competitors, the 360 could have been priced higher than it already is as long as it achieved the above mentioned i believe the same results would reoccur.  For an example the wii, it was achieving below average sales just a while ago and with no price cut boom pretty close to where it was, it didnt need a price cut it recently did things i mentioned with the 360

the ps3 hasnt done those things this holiday season and thats why its in last for Nov Npd but like i mentioned in my other thread sony is just waiting for the comp. to be at its weakest to come out from cover and with recent announcements i believe that time will be around this time next year

i dont find this incredible or fascinating ok Seece?

LOL, yes Sony is waiting for the competition to be weak before they hit $199, nothing to do with the fact they can't actually afford to price the PS3 and $199, not at all!!

If Sony could put the PS3 at $199 tomorrow with it making good business sense, trust me, they would.

You're forgetting, Kinect IS having an impact. And next holiday not only will Kinect get a price cut, but the 360 will too. More than enough to combat a $199 PS3 in NA. Can't speak for WW, but again, this is NPD thread

His comments were " The PS3...uhmmm..." , It obviously means he just assumed the PS3 was doing badly when it's not even if you include this terrible NPD numbers.

The 360 has always done well in NA, it's nothing new. But they are doing better this year since they really done so many things right ( Slim, kinect, Halo, COD, Fable) all in one year.

It looks like that Kiinect is doing its job in becoming the next Wii in North America.  If this keep up, there wouldn't be any doubt.  Congrats.
