Forums - Sales - Global HW +SW Up! 21st September 2013 (GTA V Week) ~336k PS3 ~180K X360

WOW GTA V a beast.



Around the Network

After all these years, Sony still doesn't get it with the bundles. It's not the system + game that sells. It's a custom/limited edition design console + game that sells. Ex: RE5 360 console, Gears and Halo consoles. Sony does it in Japan but not in the states, that is their fall when it comes to big weeks like this one..



I call BS on the 360 hardware numbers, PS3 had a bundle, 360 did not, PS3 version of GTV sold out almost everywhere I went all week. 360 had plenty of stock.

294% hardware increase vs 182% and the lower one had an exclusive hardware bundle.

I am sorry but it just does not add up to me

I don't know, americans just prefer xbox for some reason. Ms advertises like crazy in the US as well.



Except every GTV commercial I have seen has only had a PS logo on it. So the advertising difference does not makes sense in this case.

Because of one year head start cheaper price throughout it's ifetime, the console to own for teenagers, Halo, Getting timed exclusive content for GTA IV, and COD. Plus, they know how to advertise way better to the American audience. It is a good console.

Don't think one bundle will change the mindset of americans. they just prefer MS no matter the value sony delivers.

Wii u fans (especially zero999) owe me an apology.

Guys, save face and admit W101 was a flop. Also, cant wait for the "Wii u fails to meet expectations" thread.



lol, wait intill next weeks numbers and i'll add it up. Patience. Everybody knew we couldn't judge vita with its price cut FW cuz it wasnt an entire week.

Also WiiU had a much bigger impact than it even though its nothing to get excited about. i was hoping 30k but lets be real, all eyes are on GTA5 and look at that hardware boost 0.o! And 2 days of price cut sales, Lets wait intill next week sales to judge. Then i'll post how is wiiu doing.

Seems like GTA V sold more 7 year old consoles than Pikmin and wonderful 101 sold new hardware. 



GTA is one of the top 5 best selling franchises, might be top 3, and you think the other two games are comparable??? Really o.O
