Forums - Sales - America's 8th Jan up

Mummelmann on 16 January 2011

When the numbers level out worldwide, the HD consoles should be neck and neck through most of the year and I don't think the Wii will have massive leads like it has had the last few years.

The generation is nearing the point where people (and the console manufacturers) are starting to look towards new systems and new possibilities.

Roughly expected January sales for me, both software and hardware.

It's like travelling back in a time a year except replace Microsoft with Sony and 360 with PS3.  Too many hypocrites on this site.


Jan 2009: Darn those Wii shortages! Wii would've done 10m in December! It'll be at like 35m this year after the shortages wear off though!

Jan 2010: You just wait. I bet that in no time PS3 will catch up to 360 and make a 10m gap. It's just 'cause of these annoying shortages that it's taking so long.

Jan 2011: Wha? 360's in third place!??

...I mean, obviously, yeah, I remember that I saw next to no (only about 100) 360s at every retailer I visited. Obviously, 360 will be ahead of Wii by the end of the year.


Great story, now put on your Nintendo jim jams and head to bed.

 

Don't see why you have to be so condescending and rude when I was just expanding upon your own point.


Because I'm an asshole

ha ha i love evryone saying the 360 is down due to shortages, im not being funny but the ps3 had massive sales too 800k   and your saying there not in shortage too? and last year when the ps3 was selling 900k nearly 1 million, there were no shortages after...cut the crap


they are having shortages thanks to america, sony didnt sell that much... in america. Sony didnt just launch a new console... ummm logic should be entered into posts.


what? like last year when ps3 released a newer version of their console, had higher sales than the 360 over christmas but then still managed to keep the higher sales for a long time after xmas? shortages my arse

Well you can live in that fantasy land but the rest of us in america that walk into our local store and see the 360 section desimated understand that MS pushed as many consoles out as they could and simply ran out.  The reality is that without the shortages 360 was selling on a 1:1 ratio with the Wii in America.  As supply increase over the next couple of months look for 360 sales to steadily climb while the other consoles steadily fall during this normal slow season.

Well sorry I don't live in America so i can hardly walk into a shop there, but no The giant retail store tesco in england which i work in, has a full shelf of kinect and 360, its sells, then it get's restocked......there really isnt a shortage here, so why the massive drop in europe? when the stock is fine? do i have to take photos to show you, ill even take photos of the massive cage out back, stocked high and well of it, like i said shortages......my arse

Exactly you don't live in America so you shouldn't speak to it as if you know what you are talking about.  I'm sure your store has plenty of 360's and kinects stacked to walls no pictures are needed.  Just try and keep an open mind to the world outside of that store, across an ocean, where people have no ability to stop spending even when they don't have any money to spend.  You would come across a lot better if you accepted the idea that there are places where Kinect and the 360 have been selling very well and those areas weren't able to resupply, probably because of the massive over stock in your store.

EMEAA- PS3 IS OVER TRACKED. 360 HAVING SHORTAGES AND THE WHOLE STORY WILL UNFOLD IN THE MONTHS TO COME. WHEN DO SHIPMENTS COME OUT?

WHO WANTS TO MAKE A BET THAT PS3 IS OVERTRACKED IN EMEAA BY VGCHARTZ?

LMAO!!!!! ohh god when 360 fans said that january adjustments will be hillarious they weren't kidding look @ this meltdown.

I've been saying this for months. So there is no meltdown. I bet you it is.   VGCHARTZ have no clue as to what sales are in EMEAA for ps3. they over estimated sales. Watch and see. the last time they adjusted them up was the last shipments. So they can be way off. this is like a test period. 

BUT FUNNY YOU GO FOR THE 360 FANS ANGLE AND YOU ARE NOT A SONY FAN THAT HAS HAD MANY, MANY MELTDOWNS? LMAO AT YOUR BIASED AND STATING WHAT YOU HAVE DONE OVER AND OVER. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

SO MAKE A BET!

Not really, last nov NPD ps3 was overtracked I accepted it unlike you ROFL!

you've been saying it for months now?? LOL  you must be feeling really mad then cause just a couple of months ago ps3 was adjusted up massively in EMEAA and up till now your "overtracked" claim hasn't happened LOL!.

And ps3 being overtracked in EMEAA whats your proof? none? funny you don't think 360 is overtracked either only ps3 LOL!

THATS THE POINT SMART GUY, THEY ADJUSTED UP TO HIGH THE LAST TIME. I HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT AFTER THE FACT.  LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

MY PROOF IS THAT THEY REALLY DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT THE PS3 IS DOING OVER THERE AND MOST LIKELY OVER ESTIMATED SO PEPS LIKE SO, DON'T CRY, LIKE THEY WHERE.
