Yes, Nintendo is doing fine (Balance Board still dominates its market segment WW despite not being anymore leader in America, the rest of Nintendo offer rocks everywhere), things are just not going like Malsrom would like and Ninty competitors coexist with it, and even thrive, instead of being destroyed like he wished (quite selfish of him and I'm glad his wish wasn't fulfilled). BTW nostalgia factor made me wish DKCR did better than NSMBW, but I know it was just a wild dream.


yea he was a weird guy sometimes, i couldnt tell if he liked or hated nintendo

and nintendo doing too fine



Everyday I'm hustlin'.

My point is that the 360 version has been out for over a year.  The PS3 version has been out for 2 weeks and is only selling 15k more???  Even after all of the GotY awards?????

No, this isn't about everybody that wanted to play it already has it on the 360.  If so, then why are 360 sales so close?  No, this is just ....... whatever.

Define "Whatever". Please. It's a Year late port at full price while the 360 version is as cheap as can be. Just to add. GotY Awards don't mean that the game will sell more. See the BioShock example I'm about to show you (Again).

It's doing better than the BioShock port did. It's sold in 2 Weeks what BioShock did in 5 Weeks. It's doing fine.

You did this last Week. It's quite obvious you have a problem with this game being on the PS3 after your little meltdown saying they shouldn't put ME3 on PS3 because of how it did compared to the 360 version last week. Why does it bother you so much?

you have to hand it to the 360 sales from where it was last year and most people wrote it off

with all the talk of price cuts,i wonder if we will get any,i can't imagine any of the 3 wanting a price cut and taking away all that lovely dosh

i guess it will come down to strategy can't see sony moving 1st but who knows

Be careful.  He might accusing you of trolling for not agreeing with him.

Everytime we see good numbers for 360 in NA, but it doesn't change anything. 360 will get adjusted down like a week ago, they need to stop overtracking the xbox.

 

PS3: 47.9 million

360: 50.9 million


Maybe the PS3 has been outselling the Xbox 360 all along on a weekly basis more than we know.  Just a generalization.

If MS, by any chance falls a but in the US (not totally, just a tiny bit), they are fu**ed.

Where people look at it as a great thing, i find it really sad. MS can´t get a foot in Japan and completly lost Others....all they have is the US market. Even sadder is the fact that they only have themselves to blame, they don´t even try anymore, they know that the american people will buy anything they throw out.

The understand why the american people buy the XBox above all, is the same as Japan with Nintendo and Sony, they are national consoles, so why go to a foreign one, but when a company only has "one game" to release this year so far (Gears of War 3) and a lousy peripheral (it has an enormous potential, but the modders make a much better job than the ones that developed it), you have to ask...why?


Yeah, I don't know what us 360 owners are going to do this year. Only 1 game is releasing for our console for the entire year! All the exclusives except Gears of War 3 were cancelled, and all the multiplatform games were shifted to be PS3 exclusives. The Xbox LIVE Arcade is being shut down too.

And that peripheral Kinect (fastest selling consumer electronics device in history) sure is lousy. It won't do anything to help the 360's sales. It's weird how the 360 is still outselling the PS3 despite having 1 game versus the 16,524 exclusive games alone releasing on the PS3 in 2011.

Yea what are we going to do?? Oh no 16,524 exlclusives On ps3. Jesssss we are done. Also as a american I'm a complete idiot And I just buy anything that is thrown on tv. What am I to do?

@Blackfist.I think we have a lot coming for 360 and to ignore what is out there is just plan biased. Also ripping on americans is the cool thing to do but in reality it's usually jelousy that it stems from. Guess what I have not bought? A PS3.

XB360 and Kinect domination in America is just insane. Wii is doing well overall, but Wii Fit Plus has been kicked out of American Top 10 again. Nice second week for LBP2. Americans don't really hate GT5, but Sony could try harder to make them love it more. Move shows not big but decent legs in the short-mid term, and does it without heavy bundling. Kinect is just unstoppable and Malstrom -POOF!- disappeared.   

Edit: P.S. I was nearly forgetting, nice WW totals adjustments!   

Why do you think Kinect will have good legs? It's sales are dropping and frankly I don't see it last more then 6 months before dropping off almost completely

Looks like deadspace 2 is doing well. Good, I hope to see it hit 1 million on both consoles in a month or two. We can Only hope.

If any game deserves to have some good legs it would be this game.  Xbox has 650,000 to go and ps3 has about 700,000 to go to a million.

don't listen to darkenthelight, his statments are pointless biased babble. I think after 6 months and kinect starts cranking off of word of mouth, Like it has,  he will have a meltdown on the site.

Once supply is back  and people can get there hands on kinect 360 bundles sales will pan out good.
