Yep, PS3 is going to best the Wii Worldwide for the first time in its history, I suspect.

Is the Wii still supply constrained in the US? I haven't checked in a while. I know it's not as bad as it was in, say, December/January, but I believe you still have to be on your toes to find one.

Wrong, the european launch was the first time.

 

 

 Thanks for the correction. You too, Leo.

And Fernando, this is an official warning.

 No thats not true

On topic:

Did lower than I expected.

Well if they had 3 - 4 times more 80GB's according to retailers they would've still sold out of them....the demand was that high

So in theory SONY missed out on upto 210K sales of 80GB's alone

 

You admit MGS4 had nothing to see in the sales?

I was just about to do this thread.... *lunges arm*

The PS3 beats the Wii for the first time in who knows when (has it ever?). Finally, things get a little more interesting.



Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

I don't admit that....but lets see

If 75K of the 80GB bundles all sold out...then that leaves around 50K 40GB's that sold in the same week...basically no jump from previous weeks sales (which were of only 40GB's)

Put the two together

 



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

@Manuelf

lol are you saying that MGS4 didnt boost hardware? That would be a stupid statement, how do suppose the 40gb MGS4 bundle boosted PS3 sales passes 70k in japan?

Wow, 210k more, thats highly unreasonable, not even if the 80gb was shipped worldwide, I would say like 100-150k MAX. Imagine the sales if that were to happen.
