I knew the shortages werent that severe and that the PS3 would be very close to the 360...but I didnt expect to outsell it the same month of the 360 price drop.

Go PS3 ,you wont ever again be outsold by the 360 ,and when Sony drops prices ....severe ownage!!

Wow, a truly impressive feat by the ps3.  I didn't expect it to outsell the 360 with the price drop.  I think part of the problem with the 360 right now is that it hasn't had any major new exclusives come out in awhile which has made it lose its momentum.  Maybe some of the RPG's (Infinite Undiscovery, Too Human, Tales of Vesperia, etc.) will give it a little boost from the "normally Sony crowd" in the coming months.

 

Yep, I definitely see this happening.  We'll be seeing some from both sides going to the other side of the fence.  jRPG fans will be looking more into the 360 with the games you listed and shooter fans will be looking into the PS3 with R2, KZ2, and MAG, absolute console fanboys excluded.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Funny thing is that ,once the adjustements are applied the PS3 has outsold the 360 each and every week worlwide .... even with the 360 clearance sales in US and the enourmous price drop in Europe 3 monts ago.The 360 price drops cant manage any sustainable increase of sales.



Article up on the front page if anyone cares. Software is improving...slowly.

You guys who say we were off on SC4 - we weren't terrible. The numbers in the NPD Preview are Americas, I didn't scale them down.

I did however in the new article, so you can compare there. GH: On Tour is the one that irks me. Soul Calibur IV is fine.

so that means GH for DS is already a million seller?



tag:"reviews only matter for the real hardcore gamer"

It is quite clear that the introduction of Jasper's has resulted in a decrease in demand for Xbox 360's and an increase in demand for the now hotter and louder PS3 as seasonal change brings about cooler temperatures.

Furthermore, a cold front movi..................AERFSDFASwedyulaberfr.......
