How the hell is the 360 doing so poorly in NA? I mean they are about to sell over 700k in one week for Fable 2 and get no boost at all. The 360 is allowing the PS3 to hang around when they should be destroying it.

The real effect of the price-cut will come in the holiday season. Then the true wrath of the 360 will unleash. lol.
End of '08 predictions (made by theprof00): PS3: 20m, 360: 23.5m, wii: 42m
Now Playin': PS3|Resistance 2, LBP, Uncharted and Fifa 09, PSP| Ratchet and Clank: Size matters, 360| Gears of war 2 and Fallout 3.
| DirtyP2002 said: Xbox360 will win this week again (over the PS3). Next week might change due to LBP. For me LBP is a game that can go both ways. Don't know if it will move hardware, but software sales better be good. The hype is too big. The week after that is definately a Xbox360 week again. Gears of War2 will arrange that. With Last Remnant releasing on the Xbox360 20th November, the November will belong to the Xbox360 overall, I guess. Last Remnant might push the Xbox360 sales in Japan like Tales of Vesperia or Infinite Undiscovery did (thinking about 25k units in Japan, Infinite Undiscovery pushed them to 28k, but with the help of a pricecut.) But we still have to watch out for Resistance2, Left 4 Dead or even a Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts. It will be a great Xmas. But it is still funny, that the Wii rocks like hell without a HUGE title coming. (Wii Music and Animal Crossing can't mess with Gears of War2 / LBP / Resistance / Fable etc :D) I am happy for Nintendo. A company that continued to sell less consoles every generation since 1990 needs an epic win like they have this generation. |
LBP isn't released in Europe until 5th Nov. So the Software sales will be the following week

Monster Hunter 3 anyone?

Lack of games is your generally accepted opinion. In my opinion, Galaxy is still one of the best games this gen, if not the best. Sales are static fact, as is Nintendomination, unless you want to argue that these numbers don't constitute domination. They do. Nintendo also sells more software, as I understand it, than the other consoles, generally, and are often the top publisher of the week. The DS is the best handheld for core gamers, imo, but provably it is handily beating the PSP. Dominating it, in fact in sales and userbase. Just because you don't like the games on the console, doesnt' mean that casuals don't. The Wii is vastly more popular than the PS3 and Xbox 360. It sells more software, and pulls in more profit. The DS is vastly more popular than the PSP. It sells much more software, and pulls in more profit. The gap here is so huge, it would take a fallacy to not declare it "domination." I am simply happy about Nintendomination. You are not. As for the markets being different, I think that's an excuse, or a lie by omission. Sony wishes it could tap the Nintendo casual market, while Nintendo will always have the core Nintendo fanboy argument, and it can't even keep up with demand for its own market for long enough to show interest in Sonys. Saying the markets are different is not the whole truth. The markets are different, because Nintendo's market is much larger and more profitable, and Sony's market is only as big as Nintendo allows it to be. Nintendo owns the casual market from last gen. It dominates it, like the PS2 once did. That is why the PS2 was so successful. Thus, Nintendomination. |
so u mean you would prefer the wii and ds simply on the fact that it sells more? and makes more profit for nintendo(profits non of which go into your back pocket)
im sorry i have to respectfully disagree with you
the wii DOES offer to a different gaming crowd than ps3 and 360 do thats a fact, you will not see any gears or resistance or gt5 or forza 3 on wii ds, the greatest games on ps3 and 360, wii has nothing to match them. its a different crowd they cater for.
i wont post anything on this topic in this thread again. its finalized wii appeals to different gamers than ps3 and 360
...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...
PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

I don't think the 360 is allowing anything. You act like the whims of the market are directly related to something Microsoft did at the beginning of this week. Fable 2 sold well, it didn't move hardware. Sometimes it happens.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
the original Xbox sold 98.000 worldwide in the same week (24th Oct. 2004) 3 years after its launch. And at a much lower price.

Damm 360 was huge than and ps3 has 20k more this year.

What's more is that 360's YTD in '08 is now about 130k units behind where it was at this point in '07. Despite some great games and a price cut, Microsoft has failed to replicate that Halo surge. Unless something comes along to change that, 2007 might well turn out to be the 360's peak year in America.
