Forums - Sales - Global HW up June 16th (updated with SW numbers)

Nice jump for PSV! Nevertheless, only 3DS and PS3 are over 100k. And 3DS may be a lot up YoY, but even the weekly 3DS+DS total is below what DS used to be able to reach alone. Ninty handled the generation change horribly, making DS lose many more sales than what 3DS brought, although with Wii it did even worse, almost killing it even many months before its successor's launch.

Vita bump, not impressive tbh
3DS holding
Xbox dying?
Ps3 also not going to match expectations imo
Wii needs a pricecut soon...



Bump for the Vita, only problem is after MGS collection next week theres virtually no games released until October in the west, thats 4 months without games.

With these numbers one can't deny the importance of Japan in this whole industry. Can't really believe some people refuse to believe that.

Japan is important, but what people have denied is whether CRITICAL for your console to succeed in Japan. 360 proved that it is not- Japan nearly ignored it, and it's still going to be a much bigger success than the PS3*.

*Before a bunch of people jump on me for this statement - success is about making money, and while the PS3's best case scenario for it's entire run is breaking even, the 360 is a very profitable venture.

No, it's not.

With home consoles, success is about getting that console in as many homes as possible.

The making money part only matters if you're an investor.

The front page of vgchartz still indicates that 360 is winning over PS3. MS can price drop whenever they want when the gap gets too close. Its been 4 years and they are still confident enough to let those 2008 prices ride. Think about that.

Corporations measure success via profit. Sorry if the rules of corporate business doesnt suit a civilian fan such as yourself. But if we compromise, if success is profit AND total sales as you claim, then Sony is still losing on both counts. 



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

In Europe 3DS+DS = 47k, little more than PSV+PSP = 43k

They sure are taking their sweet time with Japan's SW numbers...



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

So many days later, not even hit 50 posts.

Oh how VGChartz has fallen. We need new hardware.



                            

Its boring that's why, the numbers are not interesting in the slightest and there is nothing reasonable to discuss as has been shown by the last two pages, there is room for argument, however who would want to argue with someone who would just stick fingers into the ears and shout "lalalalala". Also add to the fact that the numbers have been less than reliable in the us, according to the npd reports and its quite wasteful to discuss them when they will likely be altered in the future.



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

Maybe my memory elludes me, but wasn't this the same scenario last week? Weird...ish.
