Sony Domination begins NOW! B3h0lD +h3 p0w3R 0f +eh C311!

No but seriously, let's not use the Nintendo is stockpiling excuse because Brawl is about to come out. Let's not forget what happened the week that SSBB came out in Japan after everyone said they were stockpiling, and they only raised a little in respect to the week before.

What's happeneing is obvious. Nintendo can not be producing 1.8 mil/month. It can't be happening. Because the Wii has yet to sell 1.8 million every month. I don't know where all the supposed Wii's are, but they can't be stockpiling, not when brawl just came out in Japan.

Let's try finding a new excuse.

In other news: Good for PS3. This week will go down in history, as the week that the PS3 had outsold the Wii in america. You know, this may have something to do with Blu-Ray.

Dude, you are so full of shit it is not funny. Ioi does not make up like that just for the sake of adjusting them. If ioi feels the need to adjust the numbers, he will do just that.


well, cause I said it may be something it actually wasnt doesnt mean im full of shit, like you probably are. If you go ranting on everyone that makes a mistake then you are pretty much fucked up in your life, just respect the rest you disgusting being.

@ DMeisterJ: SSBB launch is bigger here. These numbers aren't due to stockpiling, but there WILL be a big spike.

He's insulting you because you clearly have no clue how VGChartz operates. This isn't NPD, ioi corrects numbers instead of hiding corrections by skewing future numbers.

  Wow, you are so wrong its kinda funny. Brawl hype here is like as big as Halo's was. Nintendo has to be stockpiling Wii's for Brawl's launch.

@supermario128: Nothing is as big as Halo hype. But SSBB has just as much grassroots anticipation.

Great week for Sony: Eliminated the oppositions HD-DVD format, Broke 10million Ps3's sold, and Outsold 360 and Wii in the US. Now lets see what happens at GDC. :)



VGCHARTZ PRESENTS:

Yeah, even though it's a fluke it's still a big feather in Sony's cap. If you won a world Halo tournament because all the best players somehow all came down with projectile-vomiting illness, and you won because of that, you would still have that trophy on your wall. Or I would, anyway.

Okay.  If that's what everyone wants to say. 

This was the exact excuse used a few weeks ago when numbers weren't that great in different regions and it was "Nintendo is diverting to Japan for Brawl release", and "nintendo is stockpiling", and when the numbers came (and disappointed), everyone wanted to take back what they said.  Now I'm not saying it's gonna happen again, but if it does, prepare to eat crow. 

But it really doesn't matter.  The fact of the matter is it doesn't matter how it happened, the PS3 outsold the Wii in America this week.  The FIRST time that it's ever happened.  It deserves a celebration.

 

Does anyone think that Blu-Ray may have had anything to do with this?
