Wow @ the more than 100k difference between the PS360 numbers, either kinect is doing more damage than initially thought or the PS3 is losing ground heavily in America due to ludicrous pricing in comparison with the competition.. Damn that's a close bet Seece regarding the GT5 2nd week... The gap between 360 and PS3 in Americas.. It's insane, compensating for 360 death in Japan, massive gap in EMEAA AND pushes it in front by more than 100k. Insanely big market.

Price is a big factor.

360 ownage... as usual...

 


Did you not notice the Wii above the 360?

I noticed that a long time ago... I also noticed the Wii applies to little kid gamers, grandma gamers and mommy gamers for the most part so in a way I suppose I also didn't notice it, understand? I think you probably won't since you want either the Wii do be recognized at the same level of the HD twins OR you'd like to downgrade the 360 success over the PS3. Niether won't happen so don't waste your time.

VVV

Was it just me or did I recall that Microsoft themselves stated that the Kinect is marketed towards casual gamers in which the demography you mentioned generally falls under?  And did not Microsoft also said that they were competing with the Wii with this?  Kinect seems to be taking off especially in the America so you have the "little kid gamers, grandma gamers and mommy gamers" to thanks for.  But still, the Wii kicks the Xbox 360's ass.  This is Gospel.  And it's also Gospel that no matter that the PS3 is in third and remains in third, there are more than plenty of hardcore games on the PS3 that makes it an awesome console.  In fact if the Wii's high sales doesn't matter due to "little kid gamers, grandma gamers and mommy gamers," then maybe the PS3 is more hardcore since its sales are strong, not as strong as the Xbox 360, but doesn't have as big of a the casual audience as the Xbox 360 of the "little kid gamers, grandma gamers and mommy gamers" that Microsoft has openly stated they are targeting?  Dude, give respect, and you'll think a lot more like a gamer.  Wii is awesome, Xbox 360 is awesome, and PS3 is awesome.  


I was at a party yesterday and the only ones who played the wii were the adults.

Goldeneye then jeopardy, Karaoke, the mario kart.  We were laughing and having a good time.

The players:

1.grandma

4 fathers ages 30-51

and around 3 twenty- somethings

Everybody the Wii is made for except the little kids they couldn't break the barrier 



I'm seriously starting to wonder why is the PS3 selling so bad in Americas. It's definitely not because of advertising because It has the same amount of advertising as both the Wii and Xbox 360. It has games as well it just had GT5 it's biggest game on it's platform relased. I doubt it's price since both the Xbox 360 and PS3 are priced the same except for the arcade version. If sony was smart they would release their own "arcade" version to combat the Wii and 360 and maybe even a price cut.

Anyways I'm kinda surprised at Halo Reach sales it's not holding up as well as I thought it would be I guess the franchise is losing steam after all. Seems like Halo ODST and Halo wars seemed to put a dent in the franchise.

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying it's selling bad it has sold really great so far. But I just thought it would have been the best selling game of the year and would have outsold COD Black OPS the 360 version only atleast.

forgive me... next time I read something irritating and misguided I will wait for a polite period before responding...

ffs its a forum. lol

DON'T! You should by all means improve your performance, instead, for many reasons besides the uncanny but interesting phenomenon. In fact, while Sony, MS and Nintendo Defence Forces are roughly on a par, the problem are the Malstromites: despite being a small bunch and their DF here being a scant ten or even less, their efficiency and ferocity in scouting the forums, swooping upon the reprobates and tearing them apart is just unnatural and makes you all pale like helpless amateurs!   

Just be careful, too many nano-augs can lower your charisma!

why?


Well MS themselves said they expected Halo Reach to be the best selling game of 2010. As for me well looking how Halo 3 did a little more than 11 million for a game that was released in 2007. I thought Halo Reach would have done more seeing how the Install base is bigger I assumed it would be outselling it at a bigger and faster pace. Also I assumed Black Ops wouldn't have done better than Modern Warfare 2 seeing how it's made by treyarch I honestly expected Halo Reach to be the biggest game of 2010 as far as sales for a single platform.

It's still doing good it seems to have good legs and I do expect it to  outsell Halo 3 eventually. But I just thought it would sell sorta how blacks ops is doing right now.

Nobody expected Reach to sell more than Black Ops (360). It's like waiting GT5 to outsold Black Ops (PS3). This kind of thing doesn't happen.
