3DS is over 300K again this week as I expected!

PS3 Price Cut did...decent but not as good as people on here made it seem.

Wii and 360 did alright.

DS and PSP holding up well.


Who? No one said PS3 numbers are super mega amazing. Now, if it has these kinds of numbers a few weeks from now....that would be super mega amazing!



Around the Network

ps3 software was down 20% last week. So the 7% plus is actually a pretty good boost, considering software would have probably be down again had there not been the pricecut.



PS3 did around what I expected.
I actually don't expect PS3 sales to be a lot higher next week, maybe 190k but I think it will stay short of 200k.
There's no reason for a huge punctual boost when the price cut didn't come following a huge dip in sales and no compelling software was released....
What is somewhat surprising is that next week PS3 might be above 3DS in EMEAA...



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

pretty nice PS3 boost, 3DS doing great!!!

I think you're probably right there.

Wii kickin' it with SW even while HW is at unprecedented lows. Clearly Wii has that gopod critical mass install base where SW sales will be sold for a time even if HW is trending down.

looks like Wii sports kills everything this gen except PS2(80m) and Wii sells



I'm glad Zelda is selling well on 3DS, and that the system is finally picking up in sales.

PS3 didn't jump too much, I wonder if it will follow a sales pattern similar to Wii after it's price cut.

PS3 did 2k short of what I expected (180k). Not bad, I think it may stretch to 195-200k next week, but not much more. This cut won't have anywhere near the effect the 2009 cut had (although it wasn't in a position where it needed that anyway, considering it's been winning week after week since the start of the year).

It's November & December where I think we'll see the cut's true effect. The 3DS looks good too, although I wonder how long this cut's effect will sustain.

Do you think it's enough for PS3 to break 2010 sales, or even 2009? Sony says they expect 15 million for thier fiscal year, but with this small of a boost, I don't see PS3 annual sales for 2011 breaking 13 million.

good 3DS sales

thought PS3 would be a little bit higher

hoped higher for Xenoblade Chronicles, but I think it will have at least decent legs

Zelda at number 1 is awesome

Next week Pilotwings will pass 500k




So the PS3 price cut will be like the Wii one.

Alright for a couple weeks, but it HAS NO GAMEZ!

Joking aside, Xenoblade was alright for the genre and time of year, will likely hit 200k. And do people still think the 360 will be up YoY this year? It's below a 'dead' console after all...
