i dont understand why America hates the ps3 so much. are people really that stupid.


360 has a cheaper price, Kinect, and has bigger exclusives in the region. They don't hate the PS3 I suggest you edit your post so you don't get banned.

On another note, never noticed how close DS LTD is to PS2 LTD.


To be honest I thought the DS passed the PS2 last year? Or was that WW?


PS2 has sold something like 5 million in Brazil. We're undertracking it in Americas.

Calling people "stupid" for not buying the PS3. That's considered flaming.

PS3 is really struggling in America, I do think $199 is where they need to get before too long, but I doubt that they will really regain any control in America

And decent start from Deus Ex, including digital PC sales, should at least be 400k in the US alone, which is a pretty good start, hopefully enough for a sequel?

DS passed PS2 lifetime on VGChartz.

In real life, the PS2 is still a bit ahead. VGChartz is undertracking PS2 by quite a few Million. The problem is, ioi doesn't know where/when these Millions come from

Just out of curiosity, is NPD going to cover July 31st to August 27th or September 3rd? Last year August was a 4 week month.


Found it. According to Gaf it's July 31st-August 27th. I guess they keep it the same from year to year to make the YOY comparisons easier.

I bet if you deduct the 360 that were 'bought' via the free 360 with PC's for college, PS3 would be on top as far as home consoles go.

Americas is the Only Region that 360 sells Well, even if the 250 Gb Slim Model for $299.99 is still expensive, because in the other 2 big Regions they have poor sales even if the made big bundles.
