Gears 2 released during the Christmas rush whilst Gears 3 released in September. That's why it's under Gears 2 for it's 3rd week.

I guess the greater opening for Gears 3 is the motivo reason for the largest drop .

Eh?

LOL

I wrote "reason" in Portuguese... lolololol... "motivo" .

Ah I see lol. Yeah that's probably part of the reason.

What is keeping the 360 above 100k, I wonder. Is it still the GoW3 effect?
3DS holding well but PS3 took a nose dive.
Also, did Just dance 3 flopped? doesn't look like it racked up a lot of sales


I think it only includes like 1 or 2 days of data. *check the preview*

I believe it's safe to say that Sony finally lost the battle in the US.
Even with a price cut, now being the same price, they are still way behind...


They lost the battle for US market a long time ago. You're just noticing?

That year head start the 360 had really made a difference. Which is why I think the Wii U will be the market leader next-gen as well.

The Wii brand is still pretty strong. Stick an "HD" sticker on the box and it'll sell like hotcakes.

Let´s hope you are rigth (I don´t think you are, but time will tell).

It will go back up in November because that Is how every big title on the 360 works.

last year he said same thing about halo reach and halo 3...

Well you know how it is :D



Sony should seriously consider releasing special edition PS3's the same way that Microsoft does.

If the consoles were painted with Uncharted 3 graphics and made special sounds, had bigger hard drives, had a second controller (one painted with drake, the other with Elena) it would be huge. Simply bundling a game with the system is not even close to the same thing.

Microsoft is selling special editions of the xbox for $400!, not to be a troll but.. imagine if those 360's also had blu-ray players built in!

Come on Sony, use your strengths better!



̶3̶R̶D̶   2ND! Place has never been so sweet.


Good week overall, but in these not exceptional HW weeks 3DS is basically gaining what DS is losing or little more. Wii Fit Plus ( = Balance Board sales) out of the Top40, outsold again even by PS Move, despite the latter dropping a little bit. Kinect recovers a few hundreds and outsells Move by little more than 1k (last week it outsold it by less than 1k).
SW sales good for XB360, it's up WoW and honestly we couldn't expect them to equal Gears launch week. Excellent SW sales for PS3, PC and, if we avoid YoY comparisons (*), Wii too, all of the three grow WoW after a week in which they already grew. With so many launches altogether we could expect them to damage each other and it maybe partially happened, but there was a weekly overall growth nevertheless, and despite the big games launched the past two weeks dropping.

 

(*) Edit: by the way, PS3 and XB360 SW are good YoY too, instead.

Exactly...they are really missing out by not doing this.
