OH btw, PS2 is at about 163k for that week in America.

 

Now thats really impressive for an 8 year old console which has competitors like Wii, ps3 and 360.

 

Yea its quite impressive.  PS2 really was and still is something else.  Just something that really took off in the mainstream and never looked back.

ok added it in

 

Oh its actually not a prediction but a rounded number of what it is. Here is the worldwide sales comparison for the week with PS2 included:

The number for the week ending on 11/30/2008 is 284,580. We know PS2 sold 121,275 in E/O on that same week.

Thus simple math puts it at 163,305. So I just rounded it to 163k.

 

wow I had no idea!

anyways I re-corrected the OP now...

Yea usually we have to wait until we get the software but can always do it that way.  I bet probably even easier if you just compare them in America instead of doing that haha.  Oh well I did it the hard way but whatev.

 



@Phoenix_Wiight

Perhaps...

Well, now that the hardware is in for NA and Others, I'm all excited for the software to come in...

it feels like the PS3 is under tracked.... even i will state that this time... but I;ll wait for the NPD Group to confirm that. And yes if the PS3 is under tracked so is the 360.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

All I want is for Ps3 to have a holiday better than last year.....as the price hasn't changed I will be happy with this.

Yup, that seems about right. The thing is, these numbers are tracking practically the same as last year, except this year the numbers are bad and last year they were amazing.

 

That's the beauty of competition I guess - always forcing you to outdo yourself and hopefully your competitiors.

 

Okay, for a little timeline perspective, the ps3 got it's $100 price cut last August from $599 to $499, and then it got another from $499 to $399.  So some are saying the ps3 NEEDS another cut to $299???  I'm not sure how it's going to be possible for sony to maintain any level of profitability with these negative margins.  and I can't imagine that they have improved production standards THAT much in a year's time frame to reduce prices over 50%.

How is that a troll when i believe we have two consoles undertracked? I'm not showing biased towards either console. I just believe the numbers are a touch low.
