Oh, one more thing:
| Dance Central | 1,540,000 |
| Kinect userbase | 7,766,015 |
compared to
| Rock Band 3 | 1,090,000 |
| 360/PS3/Wii/DS combined userbase |
328,088,240 |
Gotta love it. 360 fans call it a win and a #2 place (wasn't there someone even predicting a #2 placing for 360? nice!). PS3 fans call it a tie (can't lose.. not to the 360!). There might be adjustments; there surely is a margin of error, but check out the software sales - kinect destroyed again. Give credit where credit is due. It was a terrific week for 360 and its software. The fact that ps3 had to be down yoy in order for the 360 to get 2nd place shows alot about the dominance of ps3 last year (prior to kinect). PS3 had it last year, 360 has it this year. And by it, I mean 2nd.. damn you Wii! Y U SO GOOD!?!?

Not to bug you or anything, but how many games are avaliable for Kinect against those for PSWii36S?
Less games=Higher attach rate
See: Red Steel 2 vs. Red Steel 1

Why did you have to show me this? It's makes me sad :(
RB is the only game I play practically every day.
Still happy for Harmonix with DC sales though.

I dunno. Maybe because people LOVE Nintendo games this gen?

Even though I'm sure you're being sarcastic I wanted to point out that's exactly not what I meant. Sony's poor decisions this gen are in no way related to Microsoft marketing budgets. Going from 1st to 3rd in one generation is not success no matter how much you want to spin it. |
I agree. The PS3 has always been in third this entire gen world wide. But it is quite impressive that it's been outselling the Xbox 360 for the past two years in a roll now despite the Xbox 360's year head start. Microsoft really had to pull out all the stop in 2010 (Halo Reach, slim model, Kinect) to really keep up. It might not have surpassed the PS3 last year, but they were closer than the year before.

What could Sony do?? they dont have half a billion to spend like Microsoft did. at least PS3 is competively doing well despite the price and marketing advantages of the other 2 home consoles. |
MS didn't advertise that much more than Sony did during the holidays in America.
The problem for Sony is that Move is too much of the same thing, Wii control clone, so it didn't capture the mindshare of the public. Kinect, OTOH, has caught on like wildfire.
Sony is now in a very difficult position in America. I am not sure there is anyway Sony can get the momentum back in North America this generation. It might be time for them to start thinking about their North American strategy for PS4.

I guess its pretty safe to say that Dance Central is a huge hit...depending on how successful KINECT is over the next year or two I think its a possibility for Dance Central to sell 4-5 million.
A sequel is almost a guarantee at this point.
Oh and Rock Band 3 deserves to sell millions more because its the best Rhythm game out.

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.

Can you recall what happened 2 years ago that finally caused the PS3 to start outselling the Xbox?
Hint: Slim model & price cut
