Haha, would you look at that, the same old usual suspects claiming the ps3 is overtracked again, as well as down playing the fact the ps3 is number 1 this week. Not to mention some of them getting in a huff when anything remotely negative is said about the 360 & yet again if you count the number of posters involved in this, there are more MS fans doing it.... but that's strange, i could have sworn i was told it always happens the other way round.... hmmmmmm. :)

No-one's downplaying the fact that the PS3 is on top. But it's likely to only be on top for a week or two before the 3DS retakes it, and it's still down YoY by quite a large number. It's like the least pathetic really, so it's not much to celebrate.

And the PS3 is overtracked. As people have said, before long they'll be more sold PS3's than shipped, which is impossible. Ergo, it's likely between 400-800k overtracked.

Let's just wait for E3 . I have some inside info that just might make the battle interesting, even with Mario.

Ugh, what could that possibly be? And how do you have that info? You teaser... -_-

I doubt he does. Merely, you can predict what people are going to do at E3 with regards to Sony, and, as such, can tell people that he was right when something does happen :P

Not exactly...

Well, I have insider info. on Nintendo's E3 presentation about a new console. That will send sales skyward. You'll see what I mean...

PS3 is truly dominating this week. Of course people will ignore this and say "poor sales for everything". You know who you are :)

Hopefully the PS3 can keep it up and stay at #1.

I don't know how being 7k ahead of the next console (handheld) is "truly dominating" but ok...I'd say PC dominated this week. More software for one game than all other gaming systems all games combined :O


Handhelds always sell more than consoles. That is a fact.

This week we got the PS3 ON TOP of the 3DS.

PS3 is #1, it IS dominating considering its been on top of the 360 all year and now even overtook the 3DS.

Is it? No, it really isn't...

NDS - 151mil+
Wii -  96mil+

PSP - 74mil+
360 - 66mil+

Gameboy - 118mil+
SNES - 49mil+

Gameboy Advance - 81mil+
PS2 - 153mil+

All leading handheld devices have outsold the leading console in their generation. The only exception is the PS2 which sold almost double what the Gameboy Advance did.

What does the PSP have to do with this? 360 will surpass it easily. So will PS3. So that's a bad example. So what do we have here? PSP and Gameboy Advance already disprove your "rule". It's not a fact if it's not lol


The only reason I mentioned the PSP is because it sold so much. It is a second place handheld so it is not an exception to the rule. Read the bold statement I made. It is a fact.

Well you changed your original "fact"


No, I didn't change anything. You just didn't read it right.

Peeps pretending PS3 did amazing despite only being 7k ahead of the 3DS and the gap between the PS3 and 360 is lower than last week lol, you know who you are.


You sound mad :P

Funny how you say that PS3 is "only" 7k ahead of the 3DS this week, yet you mention the lower PS360 gap from last week to this week which is ironicly only ~3k.

 

you sound desperate... :P

dominaton!!... just over 40% market share for the week (not domination - 50% plus is domination) and dead last in the home console race (very far from domination).  Do not confuse having a lead of with domination.

keep up the good work though.

 

@bold
You sure you're not talking about yourself?

This is the May 19th chart. We're talking sales for this week. Stay on topic. and lol at "dead last". Who'se desperate now?

Keep it up. You're showing your true colors. glad you're not trying to stealth anymore. I saw right through it.

me ?  stealth ?  lol...  never ever tried to be.

Everyone knows my preference.

doesnt change the fact that nothing is dominating now, only the Wii flirted with domination this gen..... even then it didnt achieve it.

Mmmhm. Anyway dominating was maybe too strong a word. WINNING fits much better in this situation.

Some people make reading through the thread a pain.

OT: It's good that E3 it's just around the corner, otherwise this would be really worrying, and boring.

Okay so PS3 won, even beating the 3DS.

360 is about to drop into "poor" territory, with the Wii. Surprising really, considering support for each.

E3 needs to hurry up.

And he needs to change his "fact" again because the Wii beat the PSP and both the SNES and Sega Genisis outsold Sega's GameGear Handheld.
