Am I the only one that finds it quite impressive that PS3 is up YOY despite last March having FFXIII/GOW3/continued price cut momentum?

No you're not the only one.

BTW X360 had the best incrase right (28%) so the PS3 sold anything between 313k and 402k. Pretty nice.

Damn KZ3 looks overtracked in the U.S.A. Someone tell me I'm wrong!

Maybe you are wrong because NPD does't track the PS3 Killzone 3 bundle... VGC tracks.

357k may still to much even with bundle

Now that we're reporting on games at the title rather than SKU level, it's important to note several that sold well and would have made the top 10 on a SKU unit sales ranking basis. Those include Just Dance 2 on Wii, Killzone 3 on PS3, and Zumba Fitness on Wii."

maybe,but i dont think bundle can sold that much

Anyone needs a reminder about the price of that bundle? 299$ guys, and not 349$, so it may have done really well.

No. The 360 was the top console sold, so PS3 is between 320k and 432.9k, I don't know where you got 313k from, the PS3 sold 319.9k last March.

Shortages last March.

But still, last year it had the price cut and the the new model wave to help it, this year it had nothing like that.

Can't sell consoles if there are none in the store to be sold.

Microsoft said there is an increase of 28% and that was the best increase. So the PS3 can not have a increase bigger than 28% with a bit of logic, and my 313k comes from VGC.com...

I didn't know the official numbers (319k), my bad, but tone it down next time :)

*sigh* We'll see next quarter what happens, because if there was shortages in a quarter, the following quarter will have an increase in sales if the shortages are solved, so see you in 3 months to see what happens.

Nevermind, you're right, I'm wrong, those March '11 numbers are from NPD, so the PS3 is between 314k and 432.9k.
