LOL.  Too bad I can't drink... legally.


Aren't you close to Niagara Falls? Just go across the boarder and there are tons of restaurants and bars you can have fun at. When I visited Toronto 3 years ago when I was 19 I found a nice Aussie girl at a bar.

It beacause of the supply they sent a lot systems week before and they have nothing for this one(talking about the wii), but still PS3 has broke the streak of being outsold by wii since it was introduced and with no killer app has yet to be unleashed.

I think that everyone's understating the power of Blu-Ray. Remember that last week Best Buy, Netflix, and Walmart all went Blu-Ray exclusive. Toshiba didn't quit unil monday, but all of these announcements were made last week. I think that they may have had lots to do with this. If I'm right, the sales of the PS3 will be the same or higher next week.

I think its fantastic how the PS3 has increased in sails. Great sails in europe great sales in america and hopefully so in japan.

I'm jsut curious as to WHAT stores these people ar etalking about that 360s and Wii are not sold out at?

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8008559&st=wii&type=product&id=1156203165702

Because it isn't at Amazon or Best Buy or Walmart...and you take those away and that's pretty much like the major distribution chains?

lol go back to the site. it says SOLD OUT ONLINE and it says not available in store
Yeah. Which is what he said -- the 360/Wii are not not sold out, i.e. they are sold out.

He could have put that more clearly but that is definitely what he said.

well i'm just gonna say my humble opinion on the numbers ... not why everything is like it is.

It's a really good week for the PS3 and i'm happy for it, and a "weak" ( weak as in defeated in USA wich is it's biggest market ) even though MS said they were having troubles with their supply ( i don't know why would that be 'cause USA is their biggest and most important market so they should care more for it, and like Japan doesn't buy it i don't know where they could be :P )

Finally ...well ... Wii is really weird ... i mean they had a couple of low weeks in USA then a HUGE one and now this, i'm not saying they are stockpilling or something ... but those HUGE weeks show that when Wii is in the market ... it sells like pizzas on a desert island ( i'm stuck with all those italian food topics :P ), so i think it's really clear that Wii is supply constrained heavily this week in USA, as to where are those Wiis ... i don't know :P.

I consider this a possibility, as a ONE-TIME spike due to enthusiam. There is no way that HD-DVD's death could have such a dramatic sustained effect. I do expect it to benefit PS3 sales over time, at a slow rate of change.
