Oh it will, 7 million away from 360 in America and closing! LMAO. Worldwide too, funnily enough. The PS3 Japan lead and current 360 Others lead cancel out, leaving America.



Is the PS3 boost becuase of Blu Ray winning the format war and becuase of the upcoming GTA?



Wii Code: 4819-7684-2396-4558

@jheco05

I believe its because of the annoucment of blu-ray disc winning the format war. I expect another boost in OTHERS and NA next week, be it 1-20k.

As for the Xbox 360, Its not sold out, since there are plenty of 360's at my local area. Though it could be they "increased" supply.

I still think the PS3 needs a price cut in order to catch up to there true rival which is nintendo's wii.



 

 2008 end of year predictions:

PS3: 22M

360: 25M

wii: 40M

With the way things are going now even if the 360 does cut price for GTA, Sony will be able to cut their price also. Hopefully MS doesn't pull a dick-wad move and mass advertise the arcade unit price with GTA exclusive DLC. But knowing them they will lol because they are scum.

You mean like Sony has been doing for the past 6 months with the $399 PS3?

Yeah, damn MS for advertising their lowest price, just like everybody else. 




Or check out my new webcomic: http://selfcentent.com/

I think he's saying that because the arcade doesn't have a HDD (right?), meaning it couldn't do DLC (as far as I know?).



My bet is that Wii will go down to low sales again next week.

Why?

Okay. Say 120k Wii come in by boat. Say, their customers total 20K stores that want as many as they can get. Nintendo can split them up do 20K shipments of 6 a piece. -OR- they can do 10k shipments of 12 a piece for half the customers, and another 10k shipments for the other half the following week. Saves on shipping cost, and over the 2 week period, everybody got the same amount. Sales should be 120k a week, right?

Problem tho. The sample data doesnt cover all customers. Only about 30%, I believe. And say that a lot of that 30% gets their shipments in week 1, and nothing in week 2. What does the data look like then? Like this:

http://vgchartz.com/hwcomps.php?cons1=Wii&reg1=America&cons2=Wii&reg2=America&cons3=Wii&reg3=America&start=39446&end=39502

Thus, my bet is that Wii will go down to low sales again next week.

Of course, this could get tossed out the window by one thing. SSBB and a lot of Wii given to EVERYBODY before, during and after that game comes out.



Torturing the numbers.  Hear them scream.

I'm going to repeat this for emphasis:

The PS3 is up 200 percent (or selling 3x the amount it did) from this time last year. Really, really impressive.
