wow... 360 almost 30k above PS3

does the 360 actually need a price cut in the US? lol

3DS... hasnt the price cut started yet?


Were adjustments made to the charts in U.S.? I could have sworn that PS3 was selling in the mid 50 thousand range of units a week. Now its in the mid 40 thousand range. Roughly 30,000 less units a week than X360.

VERY poor tracking on 3DS sales

I'm hoping you mean it's to low or else...Ninty will be crying.


Yeah hugely undertracked, which is surprising to me with Vgchartz history of consistantly overtracking Ninty hardware.  

We saw a pretty big increase in demand actually which was entirely unexpected to me since I wasn't convinced the price cut would do much.  The big winner in terms of software was Zelda OoT being the game with the highest attach rate of new 3DS purchases.  We had a promotion company wide where if you traded in your older DS model you could get a brand new 3DS for only $99 which cause huge trade in / upgrades.  I really don't understand how Vgchartz could be this far off....



how many days of pricecut on DS was it?

And how many days of PS3 price cut will it be for next week?

US 3DS sales

Week of Aug 6th: 18,151

Week of Aug 13th: 57,845 (+219%)

 

That seems like a very sizeable jump to me based on last weeks sales, but maybe you are seeing something different?

Its sizeable but not reflective of what it actually sold.  It quite certainly outsold the 360 in NA.  We have approx. 5,000 stores domestically in North America and these numbers would reflect that each store individually would have only sold approx 5 new 3DS's per store.  That's just insane.  Not to mention that is just takeing us as a retailer not including sales from Wal-Mart and other major retailers and I know my district nearly completly depleted itself of new 3DS units, the upgrade promotion being the biggest contributing factor.  I honestly don't see how 3DS could be much lower 90k - 100k

maybe due to the excellent deal your stores cleaned up


It was a company wide deal and we are the largest gameing retailer on the planet Earth. 



You better be trolling me. Americas pricecut wasnt in 11 aug?
