Lol more like Gran Turismo Bomb. No marketing plus 8/10 reviews killed this game.

Wii60 to have its best december yet in america!

Disgusting PSP sales in America.

Seems like Sony has no choice but to cut that price and lose money again.

How exactly did it bomb?

Bomb?? Its a bit lower than expected in America, but the rest of the world it is selling great.  Also, I've seen that Kevin Butler GT5 ad quite a bit here in Michigan.



EMULATION is the past.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E

GT5 adjusted UP 40k in America first week.

PS3  adjusted DOWN 40k in America last week.

You're wrong.

GT5 adjusted UP 100k in EMEAA first week.

The other is right.

PS3 adjusted DOWN 40k in America last week.
360 adjusted UP 40k in America last week.
360 adjusted UP 35k in America last week.

How do you guys always know how much it was adjusted? Is there a way to see the old data and compare to the adjusted one?

Just goes to show how quality blind we American's are.  The rest of the world realises how amazing the PS3 is but Americans typically cant get past the word Halo in the dictionary, and when we do we generally get stuck at the phrase "PEW PEW PEW" which instinctivly makes us backstep back to the H's and begin talking wth Z's instead of S's on forums.

 

Oh America, how silly!


Implying people are dumb because they don't have the same tastes as you is rather silly, don't you think?

OT: Kinect over 3 million now. Look for it to keep on trucking and have a massive December.

Actually, I think I know where he's coming from.  In general it seems American as a culture are more prone to falling into hype while more than other cultures having a desire to satisfy instant gratification.  I'm not saying all American's are like this.  I'm just saying the American culture is sadly being push more and more towards this trend.

American's are all about hype. And that's why PS3 was a runaway success from the moment it launched. And why the Wii failed miserably, under a mountain of ridicule.

Or wait, did Americans try things at their friend's houses and then decide to buy based on what they like? I think we all know where he's coming from. The land of fanboys, and it's why he's banned.

Didn't notice that dude got banned, and I don't want to be defending any ill intentions so no harm coming from here.  And I'm sure some people go to a friend's house to try something and like it.  Sometimes the experience can be thorough and sincere, but sometimes that's part of the hype as well.  Just saying.  But I don't recall the PS3 being a runaway success when first launch.  In fact, there were the intial stortage.  But shortly afterwards, they were easy to find because to the incredible steep price.

The PS3 wasn't a runaway success, infact it was very nearly a disaster, despite being the most hyped of the 3 consoles. That's the point.

PS3 was hyped, but a $600 console will turn most anyone away to a $250 console instead.  And personally, do believe that the Wii was more hyped than the PS3.  We just have to agree to disagree.

So even with all the little adjustments here and there VGC still has the PS3 US 130k(732K NA, 659K US) above NPD figures.

Now that we have the NPD number for America we can probably expect the 360 number to be adjusted up to 500-550.  With the success of kinect it should be closer to a 1:1 ratio with the wii.  The only thing holding it back will be supply.  As the source pointed out earlier there are only so many kinects allocated to the US and they are quickly running out.  Nintendo has done a great job of bundling their product to make it as attractive possible this christmas.  And Sony has been lost in the shuffle;  with lower prices on Blu Ray players and competing consoles We can expect this to be a down holiday year for the PS3 in america but greater market penetration in Europe, Asia, and Middle East, should help compensate.

All in all Vgchartz is doing a great job with numbers even with all the new periphals adding new dynamics to the market place.   Great work guys.

I compara with the last WW thread in the forum.

Last week numbers: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=120614

And some people post the total sales  too in theses threads.

Now the adjusted ones are in VGC: http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly.php?date=40517

I bookmarked somes... but I can see just week a week adjustments.

My article is a good place to start, as I have totals for the year before adjustments each week.

sad for ps3,sony  should have released a 10 gb ps3 for 250 or some.

ow well i lost interesting in the x360 vs ps3 sales

the war is already over and ps3 won.

yes i mean by games where a gaming console is all about

ps3 has an waaay better game linupe and 2011 is going to increase that.

people  in usa dont have good gaming taste

I don't know about anyone else but I am so sick of seeing this.  Why the hell do you think your taste in gaming is better than everyone else's?  

What Hiroko says is generally true.


No it's not. It's funny where this comment keeps coming from as well. The correlation is there and anyone can see it. Gaming taste is preference. What's ridiculous is how some people think there taste actually matter more than others.
