I think PSP is in perma-doomed mode.

well i wasnt imply that... but who can hate the ps3.

It's not that they hate it. It's that they already have an Xbox 360 and they only have the time and money for 1 console like most non-rich people.

Your giving the 360 itself too much credit here I think. If microsoft wants sales for the 360, they make it happen. It has never been the consumers choice in this regard. You buy ANY windows laptop and get a free 360!??? think about that one. Microsoft does not make all computers, they are literally giving these things away with computers that are sold simply because these comuters use windows. How are they not selling 2 or 300,000 a week in NA alone? Im serious.

They introduce Kinect and go ape shit with marketing, include it with consoles, market it more than anything. Cross promotions for xbox when you buy fast food, drink a pop, watch tv, buy a car, listen to the radio, brush your teeth. Why?

Because they have to.

Sony puts out games and drops the price... that is all. Microsoft wishes they could ease up in this regard.

The 360 is a space shuttle rocketing towards space, but without thousands of gallons of gas, (everything listed above), it would plummit back down to earth. This is nothing new, gotta love the timed exclusive dlc, the thought of which makes me laugh. Not an exclusive game, not a timed exclusive game, not exclusive dlc, but Yes, timed-exclusive-dlc for 30 days. They literally could not be doing more. to sell the Microsoft Xbox 360.

1 week of Microsoft stopping the BS, stopping with one crazy sale/deal/bundle after another, stopping with giving the 360 to poeple who buy computers, and the consoles sales would be unaltered by the power of the marketing machine.

Honestly in America where the 360 "sells" the most week after week, its sometimes hard to recognize that there is even an alternative. You gotta hand it to Microsoft as a company for having a solid business strategy. They wouldnt be anywhere close to where they are without it.

The IT console in America? Well I guess so, but we have to step back and think about what exactly that means.

Sales increased 40% during the 2nd week of a $50 price cut and you consider that dislike (hate) and people that did not buy one are dumb (stupid; and no, the edit didn't make it any less insulting/banworthy).

Just speaking frankly, talk like this doesn't really improve this community and honestly makes genuine PS/Sony fans look bad.  Is it too much to ask to be better?

OT:  Well after the heavy vacation period known as July (and yes, I was one of those people), looks like gamers are returning a bit.  Software should heat up starting next month too as big titles start to be released.  There's hope for the industry yet!

america generally doesnt like the purchasing the ps3, which i find odd. and even after a price cut, it still gets out sold, i find that dumb, on the consumers part.

sorry if i offended anyone, i probably could have worded it better

I agree... I'm a PS fan but that coment is beyond 'dumb'.

well i guess PS3 is done in the U.S. for this gen, or the price drop needs more advertising. lets hope Sony can improve in the EMEAA's.

Wii, DS, and 3DS will sell well this holiday season while 3DS will have the world on lock, Vita may take Japan with 3DS and PS3 a close 3rd and 4th.

Deus Ex looks great and likely to sell another 200-300 or more with the EMEAA's totals with the PS3 version leading as they are so close in sales in the America's, but we will see as Japan and emeaa's totals come in.

360 blops still smashing the Americas, as Wii still manages to get more ip then the comp in the top 10. with those sales in total being only 10k less then MS version of Deus Ex.

i've never done a detail'd version post o sells before and i'll likely never do it again.

You're kidding right? It's far from done. it hasn't even hit $199 yet. That's when the sales will really pick up. 

The Xbox 360 is already at $199. 

You should do it more often, I quite liked your detailed analysis.
