Forums - Sales - American Sales Up: Restock of PS3 Bundles Did Nothing?

XGamer0611 on 18 July 2008

Actually PS3 sales will take another step up. With Sony's announcement of the new 80 GB non-BC in September. I would expect consumers to jump on the remaining MGS4 80 GB bundles if they want BC.

IMO, BC is not that big of a deal. As PS3 sales didn't take off until the 40 GB non-BC was released last November.

All we've heard since they released is that they've been constantly sold out... I fail to see how there even could be a spike if people were going to rush out for BC PS3s.

What was the actual source of information for those increased shipments? I don't recall ever seeing anything solid, but I could have missed it.

Sony fanboys, who cried when NPD showed no boost in hardware sales after GTAIV and said VGChartz must be right, are never gonna trust VGChartz again because we undertracked the PS3 during their PMS4 month.

I swear to god, if there is one group of people that I could go without ever hearing from again, it's Sony fanboys and freakin' PS3 only owners.

There are about twelve people on this site that consistantly have interesting opinions. Tedious fanboyism has been constantly ruining this forum for the past two weeks, and everyone, every single one of us has gotten swept up in it.

E3 crack week is turning into the crappiest week on the planet, because this year the console wars have gotten so heated that it's nothing but a big "gotcha" contest, and right now, the Sony fanboy faction have declared all out war on the other two factions, because they have the fake talking point of Sony winning E3, and they think they can pass off Resistance 2 and God of War as AAA exclusives.

All of this was sparked by that FFXIII announcement, however, apparently soon after that gaff, PS3 fanboys decided FFVerses13 was the real game they were looking forward too, and XIII would suck, until they remembered that Blu-Ray existed, so they could pretend like the 360 version would suck compared to the epic Blu-Ray release.

I can't describe to you the level of sickening behavior I have witnessed this week, mostly at the hands of a few, insecure posters.

Weeks like this are the very reason I hate the internet and everyone on it.

I spit on you, fanboys. I spit on your sales flip-flopping. I spit on your unmovable bias. I spit on your coolaid drinking. I spit on your "exclusive" games. I spit on your blu-ray, I spit on your Final Fantasy, I spit on your casual hate, I spit on your elitism, I spit on your arrogance, I spit on your faux outrage, I spit on your real outrage, I spit on your humanity, I spit on your devotion, I spit on your side choosing and partisanship, I spit on your childishness and immaturity, I spit on your behavior in general and every single one of you should be ashamed of yourselves for setting finger one on a keyboard that connects to a world where honest men still hold their sway.

Every filthy swine fake word that comes out of your endlessly yapping fingertips is an affront to nature and the forces of good will and humanity. All pieces of petty, viscious, little evilness that will be swallowed by the only impartial source you've ever had the company of. Time.

Memories are long.

what ff13 will now suck? who said that.

well i have to say, that post of yours, is the worst and filthy post i have ever read on vgchartz, i believe you should be reported. "i spit on you" "i spit on your humanity" "filthy swine" <----------- your words.

its obvious that you are the one who is insecure, many people on here come out with outrageous statements (happens day in day out) but at the end of the day its just a bit of fun really, no reason what soever to take others posts as PERSONAL insults as you clearly do.

but what you have said is plain stupid. and totally uncalled for. i think you need to step back into a real world for a change

 

WOW at Zen's post. Who knew that ps3 fanboys had become internet terrorists?

How much 80gb bundles Sony made? Probably 500k?



Alby_da_Wolf on 18 July 2008

Hey, I moderately like Sony, I don't like MS, although (despite bugs and shortsightedness about power and dissipation issues) I quite like XB360 architecture, but I absolutely don't think ZenfoldorVGI deserved a ban, I quite like his invectives and I don't consider them trolling (perhaps a little bit flame-bait, but let's not get dumb to avoid hurting dumb people, there should be a balance so that we don't arrive to gratuitous offense, but also we don't surrender our wit to far too easily offended humourless people).

So ps3 beating the 360 by 12k units is normal? I'll think it's a result of the bundle...

Also, I posted this in the other thread, but never got a response, so I'm reposting it here:

Two weeks back (week ending the 28th) I could've sworn the 360 outsold the ps3 59k to 49k (and everyone made a big deal about MGS4 doing nothing, iirc), but now it says the 360 outsold the ps3 only 58k to 57k. Were the numbers adjusted or something? Do I have the wrong week?



libellule on 18 July 2008

makingmusic476,

I dont know.

What I know is that 7 months I was betting with myself the PS3 should top the Xbox360 sales weekly in Xmas08.

I was about 6 months late ...



Time to Work !

Source is talking about not counting the SW sales though, not the hardware sales. If the bundles were a factor we would still see them in the HW sales.

Oh.

Well, that sentence was worded very weird then.

Sorry for any misinformation.

 

LOL I told you that on the actual board you are refering to. Damn kids and their rap music.
