Sony got a much better boost from the price cuts it looks like.  M$ did not cut their best value, the Elite, very much at all.  $30 is pathetic.

That's the kind of conculsion you may draw ... if you think there is any value in a top seller list from any one retailer.  :p

The PS3 had a price drop during the summer drawl.  Now that this is over we're likely going to see software dominate the list.  It truly is a rather poor metric for comparing the consoles against each other with.

13. PS3 60Gb
26. SixAxis Controller
34. BR Remote
52. Madden 08
66. Resistance Fall of Man
75. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2
79. Heavenly Sword
80. Warhawk Bundle
91. Ninja Gaiden Sigma
114. Lair
115. PS3 80GB


Starscream you seem to be right, ton of Software in the top 100.

I figured put Lair there since it keeps going in and out of the top 100.

 Not necessarily. There are usually FOUR 360 sku's in the amazon top 100 now.  Premium with HDMI, Premium without HDMI, Elite, and now Halo 3 special edition. Sometimes the Core even floats into the top 100 which would make 5. If you combined all those, no telling where 360 would rank. There is only the one PS3 sku. The 80 GB PS3 isn't in the top 100.

 

Plus, amazon had the PS3 #1 for most of July and yet it didn't even outsell 360 in NPD. So if that's any idication we can say Amazon overrates PS3 sales.

yea so basically M$ enjoys confusing the heck out of their customers with 5 (soon to be 6?) different SKUs while Sony's has nothing majorly different except that theres 20GB more in the 80GB model.

Sony does not have any products in the top ten at the moment. The best selling Sony item is the controller at #11 and the 60gb has fallen to #16.

so you bumped this because your dislike Sony and the PS3? ok thanks for the update..


 Well if you feel the need to brag about it when it is up, then you should also hold accountability for when it is down, no matter what kind of fanboy you are.

 That's not my point. My point was if you're looking at amazon sales and just sayig PS3 is higher, that doesn't tell the whole story. You dont know how much higher 360 might be if you added all the skus together.

And MS has 3 sku's btw. The halo 3 is just a special edition. And the premium no HDMI is being clearanced, it's not truly a seperate sku. Some might say MS is giving customers choice while Sony forces them to buy a certain model. But this is not the thread for that debate.

 

Anyway Elite and premium both are usually about tied with PS3 anyway right now. So it's probably selling roughly 2X PS3 right there.
