from the Americas Sales for the week ending Aug. 16th 2008.

 

 This and @ OP if you had bothered to read you would alrdy know that the PS3 is going to win this week. Or are you just pointing it out for everyone?

With such a small gap and allowing for margin of error it is hard to say which one wins.

Overall neither one is pulling far enough ahead to make any difference really.

unless they have another big game like Tales come out in Japan last week, I don't think Japan can rack up 20,000 units again like they did last week. impossible. Ps3 wins this week.

its because i assumed that 360 would have piled in a good number again this week in japan. if that isnt now the case then that 1st question i asked is answered.

my other question was in OT how sales will pan out with 2 new sku`s for ps3 and 360

^that may be a difficult one, but on this occasion i may have to say ps3 might edge it, but will be close

If Too Human didn't flop it probably would have been 360.

if ps3 sells more than 360 this week, thats mighty impressive

i have a feeling that aproaching fall 2008, ps3 is going to start turning up the volume.

once a magical £249 price point comes into effect(possible next year), and a higher adoption of hdtv sets and higher bluray intrest(its all over dvd review now) i can see the gap stretching far away

either way ps3 has done very very well this week considering all the FUD

 

 already is turnin on the volume, if sales are good in US then ps3 is doing very well.

 

the underdog will prevail...

The PS3 has beaten the 360 each and every week since last september.I dont see how this week would be different.
