Forums - Sales - WW UP-20th August

Finally, some interesting weeks for HW sales (SW sales are beyond dull though :/ ). Surprised more PS3 games didn't chart.

RE: PS3 drop off being similar to Wii and returning to its pre-cut figures. I wouldn't expect so, by the time it would be doing that HW sales in general will be ramping up for the holidays (http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=133069 ).

That is true, but holiday sales don't pick up until mid-September correct? Until then I wonder if PS3's sales will mimic Wii after its price cut.

Also wouldn't PS3 sales figures proportionatly follow Wii's after the price cut (meaning if you subtract the average growth on all consoles)? It's not like just PS3 will be going up during the holidays.

Do you think PS3 will hold sales above 2010's sales week on week?

You can't really say anything until PD actually update the numbers they have.

Until then, VGC is all we have.


GT5 re-entered and climbed several of the PAL charts this week as well as several other old PS3 games as well like God of War 3, Skate 3, RDR, and Uncharted 2. Which leads me to the rather logical conclusion that PS3 SW is undertracked this week.

Probably, but I doubt an old game would receive a major software boost simply because of a hardware price cut. Max 20k weekly, and it would be temporary.

BTW what's with the growth during week 25? Adjustment?

Terrible for PS3, if it doesnt increase next week itll have been a disaster.


A PS3 disaster?   - Like biblical proportions, Old Testament, real wrath of God type stuff, Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes. The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!




Nice jump for PS3.

Comparing it to Wii's price cut on May which only got 120K despite a week or two notice before the date of the pricecut, PS3 is currently doing pretty good. PS3 could probably go over 200K next week, just like the Wii did during the 2nd week of the price cut as the news about PS3's price cut could've gone outside the internet into the real world. Now, the only question is , will the PS3 go down the wii road or will the sales stabilize on a higher note?

Maybe for him, what's doing good is a disaster, but he could be thinking, there can always be something better though, like a catastroPS3. =-P

GT5=old? Hmm...it's been out for less than a year. 

People here don't understand GT5... it's more like Halo, CoD, Mario... strong legz games... not like normal games.



Pokemon Black/White passed the tracked number for World of Warcraft.



Primarily an RPG player but have interest in any game that will make me think.
