What the hell happened to the PSP?
And why are PS3 sales continuing to suck?

PSP-3000

The 80GB PS3 is coming soon, and people are probably waiting for the LBP bundle to come out.

They might have nothing to worry against the 360, but the fact the ps3 is selling at those levels should be worrying. Is it still trending behind the gamecube in Japan?

OT: 360 is dropping off in Japan, hopefully it'll keep some higher numbers than it had before the price cut. Wii and DS doing great in Others and very well in Japan as usual. The price cut for the 360 didn't have as long of an effect as MS would have liked, I'm sure, and the PSP keeps on moving in Others. I'd say a fairly typical week, PSP Japan excepted.

I think the 360 sales might drop somewhat as the new holiday 360 bundle that was just announced in Japan, Beautiful Katamari and Ace Combat 6 included for free, isn't going to be released until Nov. 6th, so 2 more weeks. I'd imagine that people would be willing to hold off on buying a 360 for 2 weeks in order to get 2 free games with it!

Well, 2 things:


- First, ps3 will definitly be the FIRST console in europe, you may think it's funny, but just have a look a the number, don't forget that it's still at 400€... And look at pes software, just amazing ...

Ummm....did you happen to miss that other "console" known as the Wii? It has a +4 million lead on the PS3 in others and it outsold the PS3 by almost 100K in others alone this past week...

No I didnt' forget the wii, 4M is nothing compared to the ww sales. And as I said, ps3 is still too expensive for average gamers. Wait for a price cut and you'll be surprised...



@Tremble: You need to move out of the denial stage.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

I didn't hear about those new bundles for some reason... but yeah, that would explain lower 360 sales as well.

Oh right, the PSP 3000


And why are PS3 sales continuing to suck?

PS3 has beaten x360 in weekly sales in europe

I believe x360's console war in europe is over

As for Japan a new PS3 SKU +GTA4 and LBP are all coming out on October 30th 2008

so expect some good --massive bumps on that week and beyond

PSP 3000?

well we will see how it has done in europe/US when NPD is in
