That's pretty interesting....any ideas on why PS3 closed the gap in America this week?

Ps3 sold more than last week and X360 didn't. =)


 lol....very Snarky sir....I think that's a good word for this.

 

But really I don't understand why the PS3 did much better....unless it's anticipation of DMC4....of course it's probably just random happenstance and will change back next week, but you never know

Yup, yup pretty good for Sony.



This was unexpected, but this is bad for the xbox 360, in january ps3 outsold it by 200,000 , if this trend continues the ps3 may outsell the 360 by as much as 300,000 in february.

The Install base of the ps3 is growing at a rapid rate, dont be suprised if by the end of the year the ps3 is within 1M of 360's install base.



 

 2008 end of year predictions:

PS3: 22M

360: 25M

wii: 40M

Interesting news anyway!

It is obvious that the PS3 is taking off in the Others region and Japan just need the games on the system that are big sellers there, Imagine what the numbers will be like for the weeks when MSG4 and FFXIII are released... Should be interesting anyway :D

Go PS3 :P

@Killerman

but WHY?

Maybe DMC4 is suddenly causing PS2 fanbase to upgrade....

I can see NO OTHER decent conclusion

 DMC is not out till next week in the US, so it is unlikely to be that. Haven't there been reports that the elite is scarse, maybe it's that?

It's not really a big deal. It's not like it's putting up numbers high enough to blow past the 360.

@riot of blood

worldwide YES....it will lead to probably a 60K lead for Ps3...

that is very good, considering 60K was the Ps3's total sales weekly around 4 months ago...(Jun, Jul, Aug)



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Xbox 360 sales will see a boost when the next pricecut (in about 2 weeks) will arrive. An Xbox 360 Arcade for like 199 dollar/euro!



LOL.

Prepare yourself! Muahahahaha! =))))))))
