Yay, I actually made it there first!

Amazing DS and not half bad holds for Wii and 360. PS3's a bit low.

Software ought to be interesting this week.


PS3 is low, outta all those? It had by far the smallest post holiday drop and went from clear cut and distant third all holiday season to a statistical tie with the 360 by now. Strange logic. Yes, it sells poorly in the Americas but has solid EMEAA numbers and even beats the Wii by a wide margin in Japan so the worldwide tally is quite good, all things considered.

OT: Nice numbers, been saying this all along; 2011 will be a much, much closer race than 2010 between all three home consoles. DS at long last starting to slow down for real, but I can't see any console in the near future selling more than this beast (not even the 3DS)!

Sony is a HUGE company.  When they came into the console industry it was seen as unfair because how could small companies like Nintendo and Sega compete with one of the biggest electronic companies in the world?  In the end Sega couldn't compete financially and Nintendo only managed by being able to remain profitable even when Playstation 1 and 2 stomped all over them in terms of sales.

Microsoft on the other hand was laughed at when they tried to enter the console market with the original Xbox.  The prevailing sense was that they could never compete with Sony.

Now you have people trying to portray Sony as the poor little underdog to the big bully Microsoft.  What a load of crap.

Between this and your subsequent response to LivingMetal, you are on FIRE in this thread!


Oh, my.  Darth...  You specifically called me out.  I didn't know I was so worth it to you.  Thanks a lot, man.  I knew I was doing right, but it's always icing on the cake when you're recognized for for just going what's naturally correct.  I own you one, pal.

Keeping an open mind, I wasn't calling you out only complementing daroamer.

Oh, I DO keep an open mind.  How do you think I stay so positive amongst all the hate and trolling on this site?

Hint: Slim model & price cut

Sorry, :P. Was talking about only Americas in that post, not WW, or Japan, which is so amazing, it's scary.

It is amazing, but not scary

What's amazing is how the PSP is selling so well in Japan, but nowhere else...

Monster Hunter is real big there
