I was under the impression this boost was a easter holiday boost not a GTpro boost... It is kinda silly to predict that 50000 people would buy a PS3 for a racing Demo... I remember these kind of expectations for Japan(some people were saying it would open with 200k... only to do under 100k)

I think that GT will boost PS3 some, so these 100k should remain stable for next week. Then it will return to its Pre- holiday high.

But still, 100k is very impressive. I think you guys are just attributing it to the wrong source.

If you guys did not notice the Wii also say a big boost- what is coming out for Wii this week in others? right... nothing.

 Even Sony stated that they are expecting combined sales of 250k lifetime in Japan . Who had actually that high expectations ?

 

Anyways , good sales for the PS3 . Now the question is , with the release of MHP2G and GT5P , wich will sell more next week , the PS3 or the PSP . This will be an interesting one ;)

I don't get how the PS3 sells so well. A console like the PS3 just isn't supposed to sell like this.

Where is that guy who was claiming that vgchartz always adjusts the 360 up and the PS3 down?

@libellule: Yes, it doesn't make sense if you look at it that way, but I think most people aren't that well informed. An easy way to prove that is to see how console sales barely decrease at all even when a price cut is coming soon... Regarding the crisis, I don't think it's affecting the EU much (at least not yet).

Time to Work !

Reasonable on 29 March 2008

Reports in UK are that PS3 went up 70% ish over Easter and 360 up 76% ish. Easter fell really funny in UK this year and it does seem to have people out shopping. The adjustments for both PS3 and 360 seem in line with these announcements.

As for GT5:P I see a lot (in London) of the GT5 bundle selling well but I don't know how many copies of the bundle there are. Could be a real HW boost for PS3 on the back of this. Also I wouldn't judge GT5:P in Europe based on Japan - I don't understand it but with the huge posters, massive pre-orders, etc. you'd think it was GT5 not GT5:P... maybe they added just enough extra content for Europe to drastically increase the demand for the game here...




Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

I think the Japanese version has had an update to give it the extra content

Also, I wonder how many PSN downloads there have been as well, cause this game could sell 2m with downloads quite easily

Nice numbers for the ps3. Should do just under 200 k in others next week, let's say ~185k

that price drop doesn't seem to have been particularly helpful for ms

I would expect at least Half a million PS3's to be sold above normal between now and two weeks after GTAIV. 200,000 for GTVP and 300,000 for GTAIV

The Xbox360 will also increase, but I have no idea of how much.



Tease.
