The data proves once again that the PS3 is supply constrained, all the PS3 fans are waiting for those 80gb units and the bundles, if PS3 did not have supply problems then 500k each month in the US alone is not out of the question.

 That's gotta be a blatent troll... how is that not ban worthy?

If you honestly believe that then you need to go to a mental hospital and get your head checked for delusion.

No way. Statements like this separate the truly delusional from the rational. Otherwise how would we know?

Ummm........500k a month? I just shot milk out my nose.


 I predicted a little low and i can see you are surprised,  just the other day i was at 3 different stores and not one of them had a PS3 in stock.  This proves beyond any doubt that the PS3 is sold out at many stores if not all locations.  The PS3 will meet demand once GTA4 and MGS4 come out if Sony can get the system to the stores.



Anecdotal evidence FTW!!!!

vgchartz was way off on a lot of things.. army of two and rainbow six in particular I think. Army of two on this site (360) is at like 450k for usa and canada with more time, as opposed to just america for 600k in less time. Hopefully ioi does his thing.



Note: Some games in my collection are no longer owned, but have owned.

 Do you even know what trolling is? Go look at one of Gballazack's 20 accounts.

The 80gb unit was selling more units then the 40gb when both were in stock, using this logic we can clearly assume that a fully stocked country of 80gb and 40gb units would garner sales of 500k on an off month.

I don't remember anybody saying this. And if they did I would be too busy laughing to respond.

@BKK2: Maybe sales from 2007 don't provide a good picture, at least 1 data point isn't enough to see a trend. I do know Wii was completely supply constrained and PS3's sales kept falling in the months afterwards after fulfilling the demand from launch. So that only leaves 360 as a possible indication of decreasing sales from February to March, but it might just as well be caused by game releases and other announcements.

March sales have been down from February sales for the previous 5 years according to NPD. February is generally a bigger month for HW sales than March.

4 additional numbers from thesimexchange:

NR Bully: Scholarship Edition (Wii) 37,400
NR Hot Shots Golf (PS3) 36,200

 What the hell? LOL! PS3 owners are taking a DUMP all over their console exclusives this gen. Hotshots did 36k? Outsold by freaking bully? 

 

Then

 

Tom Clancy PS3 99,900
Tom Clancy 360 752,000 

Now I have seen some large rifts in multiplat games, but I havent ever seen anything like this.
