PSN being down still seems to have a minimal effect overall, but the numbers are getting low all around. After inFAMOUS 2, nothing will spike until at least Sept time.

yea and i don't expect that to change.

i've had conversations with prospective PS3 owners who don't even care about the outage. i even have 1 guy saying its a good thing?

3DS is surely struggling when they would rather buy an DS over an 3DS 



Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

I have noticed one constant over the years, people making grand statements based on the Vgchartz weekly charts often make Pachter look quite good. Theres a reasonably large grain of salt to take with these weekly numbers given the frequency of adjustments. Just because you see or don't see something in the numbers doesn't mean it is actually happening. If May NPD shows that the PS3's sales are fairly steady month on month and year on year you could say that the PSN outage has done little. At this point im not prepared to call it either way.



Tease.

Mmh I just want to point out that actually DS 3DS sales are very good ones, the reason why many of you are complaying is because Ps3 and 360 sales are abnormally high for 5 years old consoles. Look at the same week in 2005:

Worldwide Hardware

Console Weekly (change) Total
PS2 230,261 (-9%) 85,013,294
PSP 99,668 (-32%) 2,624,145
GBA 98,789 (-4%) 65,155,614
DS 81,585 (-29%) 5,132,523
XB 49,346 (-8%) 21,209,855
GC 24,382 (-15%) 18,338,516
PS 425 ( 4%) 19,358,334

DS 3DS sales are about the double of GBA DS sales, and there's the same situation between the new and the old portable device, even GBA was outselling the DS initially. Oh, and PS2 sold 40k less than PS3/360 combined in that same week, so globally we're on the same situation. And for the same reasons, even DS lacked games in its first months.

Different thing for Wii, actually a decrease for a market leader was normal, not a so sharp one; but, again, the reason why we're so interested in all this is because its competitors are seeing a strange pattern, having their pick year at their 4th/5th one. If we take all this into account, this situation is quite understandable looking at the past and we can say that no-one is actually struggling. Not sales-wise, but if MS or Sony cut their price just to win this eternal battle they would make a bad move money-wise.



CURRENTLY PLAYING: Xenoblade (Wii), Super mario 3D land (3DS), Guild Wars (PC)
