PS3 > 360 about 70k when Japan numbers come in.

Gonna be like that for at least 6 ish weeks.


Hmm. Why for about 6 weeks? Does Japans holiday last really long?

Most other people have answered! You don't actually think a 30k PS360 gap in Americas is normal do you 0_o ... wait don't answer that.
Americas Hardware
Console Weekly (change) Total
Wii 185,850 (-40%) 30,963,259
DS 154,134 (-42%) 43,990,761
PS3 111,418 (-18%) 12,777,599
X360 92,121 (-34%) 21,403,387
PSP 58,744 (-28%) 19,229,480
PS2 52,037 (-26%) 53,454,126
Total 654,304(-35%)  

Last year same week. Questions?

See, I just took informations arbitrarily, same for you who called it normal for X360 outselling PS3 by more than 30k, before the redesign and Kinect yes it was a normal gap...

PS3 had not then beaten 360 by 700k the month before.

We're not in the "before the Kinect/Slim 360" stage though are we? So a 30k gap ISN'T normal. You don't look at sales a year ago and use that as a basis for how sales are going to pan out now.

Next time you wanna come up with some bitchy reply make it good and don't waste my time.

Cool, did you see how DS and Wii dropped without shortages? DS & Wii over X360 the whole december, DS & Wii over X360 in January, logic respected right. And I don't thing that without shortages X360>DS in December, maybe > Wii, so I don't know how X360 could have sold SO MUCH MORE THAN 127k, did you expect 180k or what? -_-.... It would be cool if you could make your post good so I won't lose my time replying you. Thanks.

Like I already said, Wii more specifically is a holiday console, it's harsh drops are realistic, it's falling as fast as it rose. Yes I did expect 360 at 180k, just like the gap was 230k in Americas last week now down to 30k, of course adjustments account for it not being 230k anymore, but without the shortages it would have done much much better and probably just a little behind the original estimate we had it at.

Again, you don't really have a clue. Shortages are already confirmed to be the problem for Jan/Feb, so it's pretty obvious to everyone here but you the 30k gap is not normal and would have been much higher.

I never said it shouldn't be higher, I said that it shouldn't be as high as you say. As for the Wii falling as fast as it rose okay, but what about the DS compared to X360 then.

No matter what we'll see sooner than later how things really are. Till then don't come and bitch about X360 gap, do it when you can prove that x360 selling this low is not normal and that it should have sold SO MUCH MORE (what about in March, when those shortages end...).

And I repeat, I never said what it sold is what it should have sold, I know it should have sold more, but come on...

I wasn't bitching, I was simply stating that it would carry on for sometime due to shortages - true. I also said I think 360 sales would be above 180k rather than the 130k they are now, a 50k gain isn't much at all. Actually I expected 360 sales to be well above 200k.

I can prove 360 selling this much isn't normal, it has shortages. Tada, proof. It was obvious to everyone here 360 was going to take 1st in Americas over PS3 by a large margin after xmas. even a 80k gap at this point isn't normal (without shortages)

The PS3 shortages were less believeable because the situations were completely different. PS3's were due to those chips, and it took till June to get them sorted, all the while PS3 stock still remained relatively high anyway.

While those shortages would have had an effect on sales, they wouldn't be on same scale as these shortages because of the circumstances.

your crystal ball must be pretty awesome to have

fact of the matter is, w/e the reason behind them might be, ps3 had shortages, it was proved, it was mentioned by the media but here we were, people posting one pic after the other about how they saw ps3's and how sony are lying and trying to mislead ppl yada yada yada....it's just total nonsense, which I'm happy that isn't taking place this time around

whether it would have had a big effect or not, who knows. We would never know. But hey w/e you like to think of it, be my guest.

I'm not saying they wernt real, even I found them suspect at one point. But don't ignore the facts. The reasons WHY people thought PS3 shortages were fake, were because PS3 was still selling relatively high and didn't see massive drops after xmas that indicated shortages, that and all shipments ect were pretty postitive for Sony. The shortages lasted for 6 plus months, so again, compared to these 2 months for 360, it was less noticeable. Also the reasons for the shortages are different.

People arnt arguing this time, because it's just stupid to denie their arnt shortages with the info we have. I don't think we really knew why PS3 was in shortage for a few months into the year (could be wrong on that)

So don't chime on like the situations are similar.
