The PSP has real potential, not to be the next DS or anything like that but still rake in big numbers. Software..........software is the issue right there.

Mummelmann said: Under normal circumstances, the PS3 numbers wouldn't be so bad, but in this company its pretty pathetic imo. Wii will have another week well above 1 million (prolly 700k in America and 55k in Japan) and the 360 should reach 800k again! |
Look for a drop in NA this week - I don't think the X360 will be anywhere near 800k on the week...Closer to 700-750k.
Either way, great for everything if that is the case for NA. NDS is closing in on 2m weekly!
At this pace, the X360 and Wii will have a week where both combine for well over 3m units - insane.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

No... but both the ps3 and the 360 are pretty equivalent in their capabilities and library so they compete against each other for the same demographic. In such conditions, price matters.

Your joking right? The economy across the world sucks right now. No one is going to pick a PS3 over the 360 unless they have a undying love for Sony and/or desire Blu-Ray movies... or they just have too much money on their hands despite the bad economy (me).
It's just that simple.

Yeah, that way it does make sense. I guess the promises of blu-ray are not really that important for now, especially with the economy right now...
@ MonstaMack: I know. Priorities are elsewhere, and exclusives don't really matter it seems.
Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

That doesn't really cut it though. If you want marketshare or profit that is.

I think NA will top out at 550-600 for this weeks numbers. The drop after BF week is about 25% or so. But returns to BF numbers the next week, and then higher the week before CMAS. It is like after BF down 25, up 25, up 25.
End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)
Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases
360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak
PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

Amazing at coming in third.

Blu-Ray is not a consumer concern right now outside some very specific demographic.
