Yep he did.

Over 1,000,000 Ninty consoles in one region in one week. NINTENDOMINATION
(>'.')>

Nintendo hasn't changed, MS is clearly changing. They make it well known they want to change and will spend millions to go at certain people like other consoles are doing.

Xbox is destroying PS3, destroying the competition with pricing (that reminds me of something), how low can Xbox go?

I wonder if DS can do 1mil units, think that happened before. If these numbers stay constant, Wii might be able to get 50% soon, Japan really needs to pull through for Nintendo in that they need to keep xbox numbers very low.

I've been spending a lot of time watching TV recently. (In between breaks in my study). I think I must have seen the Gears 2 advertisment as many as maybe 20-30 times.

Need for Speed also features the 360 logo flashed at the end, the same goes for the Rockband advertisments, again with the 360 featured at the end, which I see almost daily.

At the bus stop this morning there was a Lips poster in the Bus shelter (and in a few others along the way) and when I got onto the bus, I opened up the paper, and after reading through it for some time I came across a page-size Gears 2 advertisment with the 360 priced at the bottom.

I was literally bombarded from the moment I woke up until I came home with 360 advertisments, far more so then even the Wii. The 360 is being advertised at the moment, at least where I live, more so then ever before and I think MS are succeding wonderfully -especially where I live- with their marketing division in Europe.

In the past few weeks I've seen 2 LBP commercials. Nothing else from Sony advertising the PS3 in any shape or form...

I agree with your assesment of the general quality of the PS3 advertising. It's confusing, and really needs to focus more on getting information across fast. It needs to be more direct.

Many consumers probably look at the LBP commercial and don't really understand what they're looking at.

Way off-topic:  Ahah.. that's Dundas Square in Toronto..

On Topic - You know when something is too good to be true...  ... well these numbers sort of feels like that...

@dallinor

it's called tears of war ad lol

it's romantic rather than mean and brutal (like the gears i know and love to play)

Indeed, it's an attempt to showcase a depth or profundity to the game that doesn't really exist. Much like the "epicness" of the Halo 3 advertisments.

It's much better and more effective then simply showing Marcus Fenix stomping alien heads to a rock song.

These numbers are not good for PS3... If this holds for the rest of the holiday season, 360 might outsell PS3 for the entire year. Considering they were behind by 2+ million going into September (for the year), a comeback like that in 4 months would be epic.

With these kinds of numbers, a price cut might not be enough for Sony in spring. There is a point at which Sony cannot comeback. The next six months is key for the PS3. If they don't turn it around by June, they will not be able to get out of third place for the generation. KZ2 + a price cut may be their final hope. GoW III probably won't be out until fall which will be too late if they are not back in it by June.

The only thing i have to say is.....

DAMN!!!! nintendo, yo scary!!!!

My eyes popped out of my head at the gap between the HD consoles. In Others?!??! Wow.

I don't find the Nintendo numbers shocking, but still impressive. 360 might gain a million WW in November/December holiday sales.

The Americas numbers ought to be very interesting if the Others numbers are that lopsided.
