LOL I just saw KZ3 selling more this week than last week, awsomeness!

GAP is like 3.7m and shrinking!

I think the gap could be as low as 2.5 million by the end of the year. There is no garentee the PS3 will outsell the 360 overall this year (360 will likely get stronger fall sales), but the way it looks now PS3 should outsell the 360 by about 10%. Lets see if that's the case.


i agree with you michael! you rockkkk



I don't agree EMEAA is a guessing game at this point. I think shippments will be way higher for 360. we will see. I think 360 will outsell from september on and then pound it out in the holiday season.  Price cut for the kinect is gaureented, also for the the bundle's. Kinect will sell like wii during holidays, plus E3 will drop some nice title's for Kinect. DONE!



Wow @DS, still first. Good PS3, not bad the others. Testicular pie between Wii and XB360.

Kinect still good, very good in America, but IIRC somebody thought it would have never dropped below 100k, now it did. Not a galactic revolution, so, but it's still outselling Balance Board, so both acritical fans and hypercritical haters have been proven wrong in the mid-short term. For the mid and mid-long term we'll have to wait for next Xmas sales, for long term, even longer, but if these are Kinect sales in a slow period and still with few games, provided that more games arrive, I'd say it's here to stay. And even if Balance Board will keep the leadership for lifetime sales, it's quite likely that Kinect's results against it will end up being even more notable than those of PSP against DS.

Why? The Japan numbers are the most accurate because there are two official tracking services supporting its.

So why Japan are off?

EMEAA I agree... there are always PS3 sales not tracking in Asia, mid-east, etc.

You forgot Kinect is just a system seller in US... EMEAA not.

I agree that Japanese numbers are right, but if I think that if anything's off in EMEAA, I think that VGC are over with PS3. I think they'll be over-compensating for not being able to track each individual country proberly by adding a set percentage of the number on each week, which seems high to me...

EMEAA should be split into Europe and MEAA IMO. That way far less data is unreliable

Could be... but remember everytime Sony release it financial numbers VGC adjusted PS3 up in EMEAA.

That's show just one thing... VGC don't track well EMEAA out the big countries (UK, German, France, Spain, etc).

VGC don't track Amercias outside US well too... but US is more than 80% of Americas... so fine.

But the big countries in EMEAA are just 50% of sales for PS3 and near 70% for 360... the EMEAA sales outside UK, German, France Italy and Spain support more PS3 than 360... and VGC don't track well these sales.

That's my point.

Agreed. So splitting up the region into E and MEAA will reduce the margin for error and make the numbers more reliable...

Also, don't the other consoles normally get adjusted up anyway as well? I don't think it's purely a PS3 thing...

I made a little edit in my post.

I put every week the adjustments in made in EMEAA thread... the 360 always little or no adjustments while the PS3, DS and Wii are always one of the most adjusted.

Eg. this week.

DS UP 55,366
Wii UP 44,541
PS3 UP 42,047
360 UP 8,240

And after financial results PS3 is the more benefited with adjustments too.

So the 360 is pretty much right (but looking at Japanese figures that's only because there's so few consoles being sold to non-english speaking countries!), whilst the other consoles are way off...

Maybe they should look at past sales patterns and adjust the numbers accordingly, before they go out. Or they should split them. But the data seems rather unreliable for this area, whilst America and Japan seem pretty constant most of the time
