Forums - Sales - Americas UP! (5th March 2011)

binary solo on 12 March 2011

Looks like I didn't pay attention to recent adjustments. After seeing EMEAA I thought Americas would have a big enough lead to cancel out EMEAA and Japan between PS3 and 360 to give 360 the WW lead.

Good result there for PS3, and KZ2 being number 1 for 2 weeks, nice, even though there was no serious competition, still a good hold over less than 50% drop.

360 kickin' it oldskool in Americas. Only 3DS can top it on its home turf.

GTAIV on PS3 bounced up to number 35, what's that about?

I noticed that adjustments were done affecting the last 2 months of sales. With these adjustments PS2 is actually tracking on par with PSP for 2011 in Americas. That's nuts! PSP is a dying platform here. Also it seems 360 shortages for Early January are more extreme now, and in general 360, and PS3 sales are scaled up for the last 2 months, and Wii and DS sales are only scaled up for February, bt scaled down a bit for January.

My estimate using Japanese Media create sales is PS3 sold 205k worldwide this week, and 360 sold about 183k worldwide. I'm surprised PS3 sales didn't drop more after Killzone 3's launch week, but the gap isn't too big.

Next week DS sales will be crazy with Pokemons release.

PSP has apparently been a dying platform in NA since 2 years now...its still not dead!!!!

I really wanna know what SONY is doing to PSP, I mean what life support system its on, if only we could keep humans alive like this!

What's scary is that PS3 sales follow PS3 trends very closely. PS3 is almost 2 years older then PSP, does this mean it will continue following the trend PSP set and begin to die like PSP did 2 years ago?

It's a sign of future consoles to come.

Align PS3 and PSP launches, and look at annual sales. Note I merged PS3 2006 sales into 2007.

Worldwide(millions) Year1 Year2 Year3 Year4 Year5 Year6
PS3 8.95 9.92 13.02 14.44    
PSP 9.60 9.39 12.36 13.87 10.40 9.30
Americas(millions) Year1 Year2 Year3 Year4 Year5 Year6
PS3 3.61 4.66 4.96 5.54    
PSP 4.07 3.43 4.17 4.52 2.98 2.27

Okay well PS3 follows PSP trends worldwide, not so closely in Americas, but still. PSP sales droped after 4 solid years, and if PS3 follows PSP sales worldwide, that would mean PS3 sales should drop as well. Already its selling 20% less on a weekly basis, and there is no Move launch to boost holiday sales.

Worldwide PS3 sales for 2011 could be as low as 11-12 million, and in Americas it could be as low as 4-4.5 million.

PS3 is likely to start falling this year. Sales will be a bit stronger then PSP's, but in 2 years Ithink the console will be dying in Americas region, and likely worldwide too.

Mass Effect 2 on 360 dropped like 10 spots, and lost 10% of sales (2.58-2.38 milion).
