It has been the same here in the UK, all apart from the Wii... A woman i was speaking to in a store today (asking about the DS) said that they have had Wii's in stock since pre-xmas and that interest is falling for the console, i wonder if this trend will continue...

 Uhh, gamerace actually said they were sold out of wii's, and hadn't gotten another shipment in a few weeks, he didn't say they didn't receive any shipments out of lack of interest.



You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.

wth with ps3 in US ? how can't it outsell the 360 with
brand + new price + Uncharted + 08 lineup + hardware quality + massive number of ads ?
"""

brand : in NA the Xbox brand is very good too
new price : are talking about the 2 months old one ?
Unchartred : the 2 monster are CoD4 and AC and they are both multiplateform games ...
08 lineup : that is NOT here opposed to the Xbox3602 lineup that is HERE (Halo3/ME/Bioshock/Forza2)
hardware quality : and the 3 years warranty ? what about it ?
massive numbers of ads : as many as the Xbox360'ads I assume ...

Why dont u mention the fabulous price of the Xbox360 premium :

350$ bundled with 2 games (including a system seller : Forza2) ?
and
the Xbox360 arcade extremely cheap ?

Time to Work !

Not shocked by the PS3 numbers in NA. In others, not so much either because of folks celebrating Christmas by the Julian calendar.

As I have stated earlier, the holidays were the reason for the boost. Normally, these numbers are pretty much what you will see until next holiday season and/or tax time in the U.S. Folks aren't willing to just drop $400 like they were during the holidays.

If you aren't thrilled by these numbers, just wait ... I will predict they will drop even lower ...

Didn't the 360 have a bigger percentage drop than the PS3 in NA this week?

The PS3 should consistently sell roughly 30-40K a week more than the 360 WW for the next couple of months.

@ lil

I think that bundle went out with the holidays. Zucas got one and it didn't have the games, I think ...

 The JAN 08 doesn't include Japan does it?

The Jan 07 doesn't include Europe either.
