Why would Battlefield boosting more PS3 units then MW3 be abnormal? Who knows what CoD fans think of PS3 after the PSN outage and delayed map packs.

Also Uncharted week was the first week Halo and Fable got bundled, so it makes sense that 360 still pushed harded then UC in Americas. Remember it's nearly twice as popular in this region. Worldwide PS3 still had that week, so makes sense if you ask me.

As for this week, look at your local flyer. I don't see a single 360 sold at full retail price. Although not official, retailers are selling 360's at prices on par or lower then PS3, even with the bundles.

Yes and now all month long consumers have been able to without much trouble get a 360 4GB for $150 and 360 250GB for $200.  That isnt the same as a 4GB for $200 or 250GB for $300.

For instance found out tonight that yesterday, today and believe tomorrow Toys R Us has $100 gift card for any 250GB 360 (Kinect or no Kinect) and $50 gift card with any 4GB 360 (Kinect or no Kinect).

it sold 2.5 million week one in america compared to .960million that's why, battlefield boost was even bigger then uncharted 3 the biggest exclusive on the ps3 this year and you don't find that a bit weird, anyway there's no reason to argue really the numbers will probably be changed at the end of the month.

Yea, but Call of Duty sells on hype. if all the PS3 fans are switching systems, or complaining about delayed map packs and PSN Outage,  then more of the the new buyers will buy the 360 bundle since XBL is becoming more associated with CoD.

and yes I still think the average consumer remembers the outage. My parents tried to convince me not to get a Sony phone because of the PSN outage. It's more then an outage, personal information and credit card information was stollen.

As for Arcade 360's, most 360 sales are of the 250GB, which is suppose to be retail $299. Arcade systems are lesser systems only makes sense they cost less, but I've seen Elite systems (is that what they are called now) sell for $230, where PS3 bundles are limited to $250 with all 3 Uncharteds in some places, but usually just the 3rd one.

Yea, but Battlefield main series is new to the consoles, where CoD is an old experience. Battlefield users also weren't around for PSN Outage and BF3 doesn't get map packs a month later on PS3 then 360.

Also BF3 boosted PS3 sales 32%, where Uncharted 3 only boosted sales 9% in Americas. Get your facts straight, Battlefield boost was bigger then Uncharted 3's.

Yea, but the tie ratio between retail sales and systems is growing much faster on 360 then it is for PS3.

As for CoD fans caring about the outage, of the people on this forum and real friends who are CoD nuts, many of them talk about paying the extra $$$$ and switching. If current console owners are thinking of selling their PS3 and going 360, I can only imagine what newcomers to Call of Duty are thinking.

Doesn't matter how causal of a gamer you are, that PSN outage was huge. My 60 year old dad completly boycotted Sony after that and he doesn't even play games. Credit card information was stollen man. Even now the Sony stock is the lowest it's been in decades (with respect to inflation).

MW3 selling much better on 360 then PS3, to a larger ratio then Black Ops, shows that although PS3 has been able to maintain the CoD fans on it's past (or offset those lost with new gamers), PS3 hasn't been able to grow the fanbase anywhere nearly as much as 360.

The 360 boost being greater than the PS3 boost is simply because of the deals available during the holiday sales period. Not to mention this is the time of year having the 4GB version already less expensive further improves the sales.

...WAIT FOR ADJUSTMENTS!!!

I think people are overreacting here......

A little late to the party,but amazing 360 numbers.Should easily take the top spot this week,unless the PS3 has a god-like boost in EMEAA.
