Sony had nothing?? Weird because I recall a crappy redesign. Then a sales boost with the 12gb Ps3. 

A redesign? Haha, well you're free to believe that stimulates sales (it doesn't) but without a price cut that's meaningless.

360 had a nice boost in 2010 with the same price point, that was before kinect hit in november.

Is that the redesign that finally had WiFi built into each unit by chance?

Well ya, but i would say that was a helping factor, not the main one.



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

Yeah adding an additional $50 value to the unit at no increase to the consumer isn't a reason at all...

Im cant belive I'm wasting my time on this but here it is. 

The SSlim design released in the US at OCT 30th

By the week ending Nov 3rd. The Ps3 hardware sales in USA went up by 59%. It only dropped 9% the following week becuase of the Halo launch. If we put this in to perspective the 9% drop was cushioned by the SSlim launch. 

The Black SSlim design released in Japan at OCT 4th

By the week ending OCT 7th. The ps3 hardware sales in Jap went up by 374%. Although this probably coincided with RE and PES release. But huge bump non the less. And the white SSlim design released at Nov 22nd. By the week ending Nov 25th. The Ps3 hardware sales went up 100%. Probably helped by COD sales.

The SSlim design released in Eu at Sep 28th.

By the week ending Sep 29th. The ps3 HW sales went up by 91% as compared to 360 by 33%. By week ending Oct 6th, Ps3 HW sales went up 9% as compared to 360's -9%. The 12 gb released in EU at OCt 12. By the week ending Oct 13th. The ps3 HW sales went up by 17% as compared to 360 by 8%. 

Meaningless? Hardly. 



Yay!!!

Actually, like I said earlier in the thread, WiiU is now down to exactly Vita level if we compare the similar weeks. Difference is that that week was in May for Vita and Jan for WiiU, when sales are higher in general than in May.

Edit: Looks like you were already told. Well, repeating doesn't hurt!

I disagree, I think at the beginning of a generation the post-Holiday sales slump is more dramatic, and I present figures comparing sales in the second week of January to the month of May from 2007 and 2008 to back up this theory.

2007:

Jan 13 total hardware sales -- 884k

total hardware for each week in May -- 1.27m, 1.10m, 999k, 989k

2008:

Jan 12 total hardware sales -- 1.11m
total hardware for each week in May -- 1.70m, 1.26m, 1.08m, 1.33m, 1.17m

Only once in those two years did a single week in May fall below sales the second week of January the same year.

Well. I guess in conclusion, a crappy redsign helped Ps3 sales for 2012. 



Yay!!!

In fantasy land, yep. In reality, it did nothing to stimulate sales.

I'd say the bundles were the main factor... The redesign alone would have likely had little to no impact at all.
