to be fair though this week was probably the most important week to Sony in NA this year. They put all their eggs in the LBP basket. They must have spent so much money on advertising that i dont think the £1m or so they made on the 65k consoles they sold would cover it. LBP was the game everyone hyped up and continues too. It got the reviews, it got the press for the religion thing all over the world. Everyone knows of this game. There were lots of new console deals with this game in mind. Compare these numbers to that of the week of MGS4. It sold nearly 3 times as many consoles then. I can't help but think Sony will look on those numbers for this week and feel gutted. So much hard work was put into hyping the LBP game. 30k more PS3's were sold in Europe then they were in America. That is a massive example of how people are seeing the PS3 in N/A. It sold basically 50% more in europe. So while you say it is staying close this was their ace card where as Microsoft play theirs in the next 2 weeks. |
microsoft have already played their main ace card, the big price cuts putting it into the cheapest console. now its their first big game of the year gears 2. sony have alot of cards to play next year though. top exclusives and worldwide price cuts.
