PlayStation by the Numbers
November 2008

PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) has continued its strong momentum during the holiday season with 378,071 hardware units sold in November, representing an increase of almost 100% from October. From January to November 2008, more than 2.8 million PS3s have been sold in the U.S., representing a year-to-date hardware sales growth of more than 60%.

Wow, if both PS3 and Wii double their November numbers in December, the Wii will sell as much in December as the PS3 has all of 2008.

ya but... it cost more...

that reminds... I kinda miss the MS and PS3 spin that went kinda like "our console generated MORE revenue than the wii... lol"

I guess when you sell 170% more HW that the competition combined... well that kinda loses it affect....

I miss your 360 overtracked/PS3 underracked spin we've been getting the last few weeks.

please show me where I said I thought the PS3 was undertracked? At the most I said it was possible (which it ALWAYS is possible... look at the Wii)

now with the 360, I was wrong. But your statement puts me in a Diomedes type fanboy place, and that I am not.

Also, I guess the Wii's 2mil is kinda stealing the thunder from the 360's improvements this month. So just for you.

THE 360 JUST POSTED IT BEST NOV EVAR!!!!!!!!!! Yahoooooooo

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

Riight. That's why all those people that were laid off were not part of Sony Computer Entertainment.

All it means is there is no money for a price cut. When we see the results of the restructuring the whole company is doing, then we will see what happens. In this economy, Sony is losing tons of money and it can't keep it up. If SCE is not able to make a profit, don't expect it to be exempt from cuts.

So PS3 decreased by more than 360 increased over last November... And that's with a much lower average price, due to the 360 price drop. HDTV adoption what?

I love how the much-vaunted "band wars" basically aren't playing out in any public way, due to neither GHIV or RB2 charting well enough in NPD.

Also...
Wii Music erases premature 'flop' label...
PS brand in deep trouble beyond what I think anyone has said in this thread... Unless Nintendo can supply 3.5-4m Wiis in December, Wii will re-enter total sell-out status.

Can't wait to see this month's.

"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
