This indeed is a big OUCH. PS3 was averaging 90K+ per week before MGS4 launch, now suddenly it drops below that.

Doesn't look good.

Seems like the DS refuses to slow down as well. That damn thing truly is a beast.

 

 and the 360 was avraging 75k a week look what happened to that.

Lower than before, I am honestly very surprised, though MGS clearly is not as big brand in Europe as elsewhere

Well... if GTA and MGS4 didn't help to mantain the sales, I doubt there's other game this year that will do the miracle.

Just two more games in the famous "just wait until..." list this year: LBP and Resistance 2. And I don't think that this two games are going to help more than GTA and MGS4.

=p

 

 The only things that can help the ps3 sell are (1) keep the 80gb on store shelves, do you expect ps2 owners to upgrade to the 40gb? (2) Release a slim version...the Japanese would be proud!

No game can work any miracle that my two above statements can't. Even FFXIII!

Ouch. Expected and all but what can Sony do to improve the lack of PS3 sales. Don't think even a price cut would do a huge amount over the long term IMO.

 

 The lack of sales.... uh... wha? I wasn't aware lack meant 85k in a week

300% increase in NA YOY, 200% increase in EU YOY

PS3 is the only console in history to have such increased sales even months after a price cut.

It could've been worse. That's not to bad.



Boycotting the following:

1. Yoshi: He ate my car and spit out a toaster.

2. Igglybuff: Totally false advertisement. You can have as many as you like they don't buff nothing.

3. the Terms Hardcore/Softcore... We're talking Video Games. Not Porn.

4. The term Casual as relates to Gamers: We make them sound like outsider's that happen to play games.  If that were the case they'd own a PS3.

5. Donuts.... Beacause I drink Beer...... and the biggest fan of Donuts hates Beer.

6. Boycotts: Their so lame.

PS3 dominating 360 by 20k consoles a week after one of its biggest exclusives...

@Munkeh111: Actually I always heard MGS was pretty big in Europe, or am I mistaken?

DS is high because of the 3 new colours in EU. Im thinking of getting a red one myself.

The PS3 had a higher average Pre-MGS4 because of the hype surrounding the game. And because there was no 80 gig bundle, there was no reason to wait to buy a PS3 during the MGS4 week, when they may have been harder to find.

I thought that week was "the quiet before the storm". I guess I was seeing things.
