I was at a Rogers video the other day and they had no PS3 units, is that proof? But they had 3 wii's and Mario kart.

 

You are a very lucky man! You have been blessed it seems.

You always manage to find Wii's and now even morel uckier than before, you were able to find MKWii copies!

But you are damn unlucky too, no PS3's =(

99% of the people here seem to have no luck, you are one of God's favorites!

Good sales for the PS3.Great sales for the Wii,but it seems to have entered a slower phase ...the three later NPD reports have showed diminishing sales ,slowly but surely ,and that cant be due to stock as there was more stock the prior month.Still ,very powerful sales.

360 continues its path.I fear that machine cant make the jump for mainstream.It has had two price drops ,one very big one in Europe ,in Japan its dirty cheap and its getting JRPGs...but it just cant step up and make its move to the grand league numbers.Maybe its something about MS brand name ,or maybe the online with fees effectively reduces the potential purchasers ...

Sony ,it has very good numbers in US and EU ...it just need to do something with Japanese sales.A backwards compatible model there would do wonders....although what it would need there is the slimline model the sooner the better.

 

Yeah great number in the US... it is only 6.5 million behind the 360 and 8 million behind the Wii.  At the current sales rate it will storm past the 360 in the States by.... oh... er... by 2012 or 2013.    

I jest of course.  But at least my statement is a joke unlike some of the sensationalist shite on here tonight.

Is this a trend with 360 owners? They post trollish statements and then try to spin it as a joke, Starcraft does it with his winks, and now we have kowenicki saying he "jests".

You'd be better off to just come right out and say it.

And don't try to say that owning all 3 consoles somehow allows you to say this, Madskillz owns all 3 consoles and we all know how unbiased he is.

 

Its obviously true of PS3 owners too, since he owns one.

 



Tease.

OK,

As I have stated,

If the 20go is gone, then the Xbox360 just get a PRICE UP meaning the premium model is back to the normal 350$ ... that is explaining the "bad" Xbox360 sales.

 

 20Gb has been gone since beginning of August honestly.

We started to see 60Gb in shops at the end of July here..

 

 ==> but this 60gb is not 300$, it is 350$, right ?

People are waiting for the price drop.

@all,

so where did ioi stated they were PS3 shortage this week ?



Time to Work !

Xbox 360 is doing great! I feel pity for the PS3 fans here because it proves that my signature is going to come true!

the 360 gets outsold by 20,000 by the ps3 and you feel pity for the ps3 fans, and dont forget the european numbers the ps3 outsold the 360 by 28,000!!!

despite the 360 being so cheap people have still chosen the ps3, really you should feel pity for the 360 fans, next time you come out with a statement make sure you have something to back it up. That statement makes you look a fool no offense!!

And you prediction it will never come true face the facts, the ps3 will outsell the 360 on a weekly basis and come christmas the gap will shortened. The ps3 is  the consumer choice!

 

I thought he was joking?

 

Maybe i'm wrong.

 

Im not blind! xD

 

Nice one.

ps3 should have a price cut a year from now. they said, not anytime soon, but they will be profitable by then and a $50 price cut could send xbox 360 to the grave.

lol...don't worry man. 360 pro just went up to 349 with 60 gig hard drive and is one week away from 299. Who would buy it this week? Only people with brain injuries...

Your sig however may have been a little overanxious...

 

True the price cut has been rumored for a while and its been offical for a while you would expect the drop Sept numbers will tell a different story MS has lost some momentum to PS this price cut should change that



PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.

Currently playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Halo ODST and Dragon Age Origins is next game

 That isn't even hard evidence let alone proof. Anecdotal evidence cannot be used to prove anything. Note that on ebay I can still get more for my Wii than what I payed for it while the PS3 is still going for less than retail price. This suggests the PS3 is available and the Wii is not.

@Skeeuk

Oh come on. It's not supply constrained in NA when it's pulling out near 70k numbers in this time of summer.

 

its, from sony president mouth and ioi.

@libe: if it comming its only for america it will do nothing in europe.

Is it STILL supposed to be supply constrained? 

If so... can i make money on Ebay selling MGS4 80 gig PS3s?

 

 

 Where is the ioi quote about the PS3 shortage ??

It was before, ioi said it.

But is it still right now ?? (I truly dont believe)

That's what i mean.  The last time he said it to my knowledge was like... two weeks ago.  By now i'd think the stock has changed over.   I mean there were no PS3s by me for like... a week.  But now i've got a ton.
