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.



Um ..... I'm pretty sure that Pirateogta was being satiric.

Wait, was that surprising to you Tigris? I mean, most X360 users who wanted ME2 have it. I'm not saying the sales are stopping for that version anytime soon, but its been about a year so its kind of expected. The PS3 users are basically playing catch-up since they missed out on Mass Effect last year.

 

The sales of both versions will start to even out at some point I'm sure.



I thought he was trying to show that the PS3 version is a failure or something. Could be mistaken.  I hope people weren't expecting 360 version like sales, I can't remember a scenario where that ever happened.

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.

cmon Sony...cut the fukkin price and you will be No.1 WW!


Let them use the profits to keep making awesome games.  That's why it's going so great as a 3rd place console.

yeah..but i mean only in the US and UK...Sony deserves the first place just because of the great games...maybe they just wait and want to see if the release of Killzone 3 will have any impact in the US or not and think about a cut after that...

Very doubtful.  Most likely we'll hear of a $50 cut during E3 or TGS.  This will allow Sony to make maximum profit off of their console until they can get manufactoring costs down to a point where they will either make a small profit or break even with the cut.  After that, we're going to see a very nice bump  for the PS3.

You have a point. It seems like BioWare's games mainly sell better on Microsoft consoles. It makes sense though, games like KOTOR, Jade Empire, and ME1 were all Xbox console exclusives, and Dragon Age: Origins sold better on X360 than PS3. It's seems the Sony fans just don't like BioWare games as much. It's a shame, really :(

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!

360 looks to have a banner year in NA...if MGS can get some more promising title for kinect like Gunstinger...Kinect might be at 20 million BEFORE the holiday season, and probably close to 30 by the end!

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.
