LBP won't have effect, TBH the hyped already going down, preorder number quite low.

Proof preorder number is low? It has been consistent in Gamestops best selling list for a while now along with Socom. Gamestop isn't the only store to have deals with SCEA for LBP bonuses for preorders as well.

next week : xbox360 > ps3 again

but closer this time


@ahcheng,

sorry but, at the middle of october, PS3 > xbox360 ....

 

I don't think it will be that simple. Both are coming out with great games in October. It's a toss up whichever gets the most hype, better scores, and more advertisements.

you are right, in october there is a high chance that 360 will lead ps3, as 360 are also  coming out with great games.

 

==> you right, na+euro+jp price cut

so let's say end of october ...

but dont dream too much about the price cut effect, 90k in NA is a "pure failure"

xbox360 is selling better than last year EXCEPT that the last price cut (50$ august07) put the console at +100k ...

are we reaching saturation ???

the biggest hope for MS is the "Wii short supply" : this is the best AAA title for the xbox360



Time to Work !

my prediction is that it will be realyl close next week, with nearly identical ww numbers for ps3 and xbox. who ends up on top will depend on europe sales.

you are not following vgchart lately

 

there is already thread discussed retail mussing with sources from many stores , including gamestop

the thread in here using number from neogaf. the neogaf thread are started i believe by Kagari (Gamestop).

 

anyway LBP is great but i don't think it will as huge as for example GEOW, RB, or even fable2.

I think it will be above PS3, the impac of the Price cut will still be in effect in US and Japan(if they supplied) and the one in Europe might be significant, i mean 130 pounds for 360 is really cheap and many people that did not enter this gen might do it (if they not getting the Wii), plus here in the UK 360 is really heavily advertised at the moment (they everywhere!!)

So next few weeks 360 will outsell PS3

I hope you kniow that the NA price cut figures only included 2 days.

 



Consoles Owned: XBOX 360, Wii, DS and PSP.

Possibly. That is if the 360 sustains American sales. Obviously it won't sustain Japan or sell well in Europe.



Eh..yeah? Isnt doutbful.

If you think LBP (for me it sucks, not buying) makes a difference, I think the 360 LIVE update makes a difference, for example you can private talk with up to 8 people.

But you know, everyone has different opinions.

 

That people may buy a console for a game, I can understand, but peoplebuying a console for a LIVE update allowing for 8-people talk? ...
