Oh dear God Marcus Lai......Amazon sales data.....c'mon!

wtf

And yet it is still behind both the Wii and PS3 on Amazon. Not very impressive at all.

Yeah, considering it hasn't touched Wii / PS3, I wouldn't go off crying victory.

did the site just crash on you guys? its while glitchy atm aswell

LOL. That is actually an article that the OP did not link to.

EDIT: Looks like he has now linked to it.

Hey im PS3 all the way, i just wanted some VG$

Well, it's not entirely useless, it can give us a general ballpark: For example, the Arcade, despite the $199 price point, is still below the Pro model.

This wont necessarily carry over to stores where the masses buy their consoles, but it goes to show that the $199 price point is having less of an impact than expected, at least as of now.

Though it's too soon to matter, I think we have to wait a few days to see if it climbs anymore.

BTW guys i didnt read the whole article to see amazon, i should have proof read and, its my mistake. Humans make mistakes, i will learn from this
