Based on this the Xbox360 has outsold the PS3 worldwide on a monthly average! xD

All we need are Japans numbers to confirm it and tell us how much the Xbox360 wins this week by.

Wooo Wooo Woooo Woooo Wooo Wooooo Woooo Wooo Wooooo Wooo

The first month of my prediction is coming true and the next two months look good as well!

 

I don't know why your celebrating like its going to make your life better, but anyways, I'll respond.  You post here enough and are intelligent enough to know that in the US, the only systems shipped to retailers from now on is the 80gig SKU.  Also that SKU is in very limited numbers as well.  We are sold out everywhere in my area.  Not knacking the 360, amazing numbers, but come on, seriously?

I don't think the PS3 has supply issues, I think it has an image issue. People just seem to hate it.

 

This has got to be the stupidest post I have read on this thread yet.  Congratulations.

Hopefully the Wii is getting a redesign and a price drop because my wife is hounding me to get one.

I have two different friends who work at Gamestop who tell me people come in and ask about the new 80 gig SKU all the time.  That they are also sold out of 40 gb models.  Its sad that this site is so full of blind fanboyism from Squillium, I love Xbox 360, and the like, that it fails to recognize things. 

 

I read a post on the first page that said "I hate the PS3."  Rational, civil, and adult debate doesn't occur here.

Well Wii obviously didn't get as big of a shipment this week. Was bound to happen sooner or later. I mean had multiple weeks of about 150k there haha. But almost 100k is still pretty strong.

360 seeing good last effects after the semi quasi pricedrop. PS3 getting a few more supply and DS owning as usual. PSP hanging on.

 

Is it possible that Nintendo is doing a hardware refresh on the Wii? The box hasn't really changed a lot from the launch version... well, as far as I know. Doing a production changeover before the holiday season would make a lot of sense, and it might explain a drop in available units. I'm still not seeing Wii's in stock around here, so I have to wonder if it's a supply-side problem.

 

Um more than likely not.  Most likely the smaller shipment is them reserving a few units for a release later on.  Although I'd expect now they should be able to keep up 150k while saving some for later, it seems they are looking at something more recent.  Possibly for the Madden 09 release?  Who knows.

Go 360, whats ith the Wii and Ps3 though? DS sold really well and PSP did ok i guess...

Wii has supply issues,and im thinking the same for PS3

 

 

 For Wii, maybe but not for the PS3, M$ used that excuse too.

 

You obviously are talking out of your ass.  Did you not read last week's boss post about the PS3 supply issue? Or Sony saying that they aren't producing 40gb PS3's anymore?  Oh no... your a fanboy.

Do people seriously think the Wii isn't supply constrained?  You have to be a moron to think the Wii sales are normalizing.  Here in Seattle you can't find one.

 

Also about PS3s.  I have two friends who are managers at Gamestops. They have sold out of all PS3s, and as soon as they get 80gig MGS4 bundles in, they sell out of them.  They have told me, that they are NOT recieving any more 40gb models.  That should say something.

 

NO MORE 40gb SKUs are being made and or shipped to stores. No shit its supply strained.  Sony is starving the market.

One last thing, if your a potential PS3 buyer, and you know the 80gig is just around the corner, why would you buy a 40gb PS3?

Watch PS3 sales sky rocket in September.  My friends who work at Gamestop have told me people come in everyday asking about the release of the new SKU.

That is all.  The fanboyism brought on by the likes of the regulars is damn upsetting.

 

Oh and amazing week Xbox 360.  Fucking awesome.  you deserve it.

ahhh I love those "I know it better, because my friend knows it" posts on the internet. Get me straight, I am not saying you are wrong, there might be shortages, but nobody knows if the shortages are dramatical or not.

But I can guarantee you that as soon as Sony fixed this problem and PS3 sales recover, Sony-Fanboys will get crazy and claiming the Xbox360 will lose its last territory, because the PS3 will regain last weeks.

 



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

could be that big retailers got more stock this week (TRU, Walmart, Target, etc) All of which VGC does not cover.

Also it could just be low supply.
