Forums - Sales - Looks like the 360 price cut has had some effect

Everstar on 28 September 2008

OK fist are the number are having an effect. The PS3 is losing sales sence the price cut in NA and the 360 is gaining them. Also the price cut has only been 2 days in Europe when the number for the 20th of september were posted so the 360 should beat it when the next set of number are posted for others. Quote me on that if you want the 360 will beat the PS3 in Europe for the 27th.

Yeah, some effect. Almost back to pre-price drop levels in America.

Japanese sales fell hard from last week.

And it's still losing to PS3 in Others.

And the PS3 is still losing WW even though its had $200 cut from its orig price and its the best blu ray player.

Wow.

Still living in 2007 eh?

So in 2007, it WAS the best best Blu-Ray player and HAD a $200 price cut? And in 2008 its not? then what IS the best blu-ray player, and what is the price drop since launch now? Because i've been kinda wanting a Bu-Ray player for a while, and if there really are better ones for cheaper out there...

 

Blu-ray player?

Aside from being the best BR player, it also has at least 10 games that I very much want. So, again, still living in early '07?

 

 

Anyone still dreaming of life in 2011 when MAYBE PS3 could overtake 360?! [and all poor people will be playing next HD games on XBOX720...]

^_^

Take care all you!...

UmE

See you Q4 '09/Q1 '10.

 

Just think about the future men... Meanwhile I live the present with the best system on the market, best on line service, best prices for hardware and software... etc. etc...

Sorry... Dead Rising is calling me for some zombie-joking... Will you ever play it?! I hope so...

Bye all!

Ume

I don't think about the future - I got my xmas games lined up... that's when I get my system... and those are the games I plan to own.

1. Disgaea 3 (got it already)

2. Uncharted

3. MGS4

4. Resistance 2

5. Valkyria Chronicles

6. Eternal Sonata

7. Motorstorm 2

8. R&C ToD

9. Folklore

10. LBP

 

I just hope I'll have enough money for half of that by then... had to get a job because of that.

Enjoy Dead Rising. I'll enjoy some LBP levels, some grinding in Disgaea, the most awesome shooter of '08, and some beatiful racing, among others.

 

 

 

Uncharted beeing in the top 10 list of a PS3 owner...

My best argument.

Man. You definitly killed me...

You disarmed me...

Sorry man, We'll start a petition to give you enought money to buy a XBOX360 for Christmas...

Good bless You.

Ume [more sad than ever]

 



Some people live thinking about the past...

Some others live thinking about the present...

OnlyPS3 fanboys leave dreaming of the future...   [ ^_^ ]

Go play something and stop trying to make fun of me. If I wanted a 360 I would have one already. I have enough money for that.

those are terrible numbers for 360, absolutly awful! as the cheapest console in every territory it should be much higher than that. it just shows that the price never was the problem and the problem was the demand. there is none!

You gotta have a look at his posting history, it's hilarious.

edit: also much love for Toriyama's monster designs.

The 360 already has a significant lead over the PS3, but somehow stretching that lead is considered bad?

Maybe my logic is flawed. Regardless of how little the 360 outsells the PS3, it is still outselling the PS3 (and reversing the PS3's ability to diminish the 360's lead)


The 360 has been on the market a year longer while fighting bad publicity (hardware defects which appear to have been remedied for the most part), cultural/preference resistance in Japan and Sony brandy loyalty in Europe.

It is simply mind boggling that some posters can still discredit the recent performance of the 360 and consider it justifiable.

Just wow...

 

I couldn't have said it better, Great Post!

I dare any SONY fanboy to try to argue with this post.

Again, Wii loses week-to-week marketshare. Below 50% this week, WW -- looks like the 360 is actually taking some Wii buyers away, after all, in addition to PS3 buyers.

 

360 is probably leveling out till mid Oct and Wii units are being held for the holiday... PS3s are not selling to well... but Sony flushed the market with some MGS4 units so those numbers should be a little bit higher next week... 50k at least.

I'm sure you'll be happy with your choice when those nice big exclusive DLCs come the 360s way... as for demand... if the 360 doesn't have any that means the PS3 has less then none... your logic is flawed
