I dont understand it, how is the ps3 pulling so far ahead of the 360? Did gt5 have that big an effect?

The average consumer is getting smarter that's why. GT5:P had little affect in NA.

Yup, the RROD has finally started to make an impact on buyers decisions.

Also when looking towards the future games, PS3 wins by a long shot.

 


 Given that the 360's sales have increased YOY that must mean people want the RRoD more than ever.  

 About the games, that's just your opinion.  The PS3 2008 lineup has no appeal for me since it's full of sequels to games I've never played.  The 360 on the other hand has its own sequels for people who want those, but new IP's like Alan Wake, Too Human, Lost Odyssey (already out) and others for people who want something fresh and original.

I don't recall many retail chains proclaiming they were to receive the largest shipment ever for PS3/X360....just Wii.

Cause they have their supply in order


Easy to do with low demand. 


Easy to do when you're not creating demand by artifically low supply...

(The above comment was a joke, since people cannot detect jokes/sarcasm online)

You mean the articially low supply that still outsells the HD consoles?  

 

 

I'm hoping our smilies show our sarcasm and ribbing.

 


You mean the 'low supply' that was outsold by both 360 and PS3 this week? 
Yep, the same so that they can supply more than enough to retail to trounce PS3/X360 on the most important week of their entire generation.

 


Which brings us back to the beginning of our argument.



It's more important that Nintendo keeps grabbing market share as fast as they can, simply pulling back might lose them momentum, they need to keep on the head line pages.
"Even GTA can't push Wii from the Number 1 spot" sounds like a very good headline to me. Nintendo knows exactly how to play the game.

And here we are.   Guess we'll have to wait another week to see how it goes.   *kicks a pebble*

New IP is nice. The PS3 had only(ex. Ratchet) new IP last year: Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, Lair, Resistance (last year for Europe Motorstorm. And they have Haze and Little Big Planet this year.
The problem is for every gaming pearl (Uncharted) you have to wade through crap like Lair.

PS3 sales in NA are very nice as it outsells both 360 and Wii. Not bad at all.

Expect it to be over 150k in NA alone next week,


I see it as having an effect like halo...maybe a 100%+ increase so 150K is  a good figure, but I expect the Wii to sell 300K+ in the US. Todays massive dip in sales confirmed this IMO. 

World wide GTA will have no effect in Japan so  ~40K  Wii advantage.

Europe is harder to guess....but I think the Wii will win by a decent margin.

Wii Fit's launch in europe will increase sales.

 Over all WW  Wii> PS3> 360 for next week. 


GTA 4 is bigger than you think, but we will see.

 So you suspect PS3 will be 150k in the US next week but think the Wii won't?   The Wii just got the largest non-holiday shipment ever and you don't think it will top 150k?

Not bad. PS3/360 should surge next week. Is GTA a series that has legs? If so, then GTA IV should see big legs. Not sure how the Wii will be affected, though (definitely not "Wii fad ix over" as leo-j is preaching). MK Wii is in the same time frame. This is gonna be an unpredictable Wii week for sure.

Like I said in the other thread, there were reports of huge wii shipments all over the place last sunday were this weeks numbers were included in.

Sales are indicating something, but who knows is the question.

@Viper

I said over 150k, it could be as high as 300k, its unkown, I do expect 200k + for PS3 hardware in OTHERS, because of the bundle, and maybe 200k in NA, japan should be 10k, so for PS3 hardware I believe it will manage anywhere from 380-500k WW sales.

As for wii I expect 350-600k

Wii is a hard one, like it always has been.

GTA has HUGE legs. GTA: San Andreas sold over 10k last week. That game was released in 2004!

 

So this game blows away all non Pokemon games in legs.
