They still doing great although the price 2X more than Xbox360 which not sell 2x more than PS3. Sony reallly need price cut to stay competitive. I'm afraid they could not comeback when the gap are 10 million. 50$ price cut is enough for them now and they can cut 50$ more in March 09.

But if we compare for the same four weeks LAST year:

 I don't think all the smileys in the world can spin this positively. =)))

Sullla,

hum,

last year it was just after a price drop
now we are 1 year after the price drop

last year, Xbox360 (the big foe playing on direct competition) was more expensive
this year, it received a price drop and is now the cheapiest console this gen

last year, we were not in recession
this year, we are (and media are even pushing it by focusing on it)

(I still see how Wii/360 are selling much better than PS3, but I also see PS3 is doing not bad considering the price)

Why not?  Thats what I think the OP was doing.

If we take this stance, it's impossible to make any comparisons about anything:

Did the Gamecube sell well for its price?

How about the Neo-Geo? Best-selling $700 console ever!

What about the Gizmondo? It sold great for its price! Never mind that it lost so much money that it destroyed its parent company...

I think the Phantom was the best-selling console ever for one that was never released. It sold infinitely well for its price! [/sarcasm]

Stop making BS excuses. Bottom line: holiday sales should never decrease for any healthy platform entering its third holiday season. I dare you to find any successful video game platform that saw sales go DOWN in the third holiday. Because I've run the numbers on a ton of them, and I can't find any. N64, XBox, Gamecube - they all went up in their third holiday. The only one I can think of that went down was Dreamcast, and that's because the whole damn thing was discontinued earlier that year.

Total and complete ownage.

NOT BAD AT ALL, PS3!! =))  (thought maybe a combo of CAPS and smileys would hide the fact that the PS3 was almost half the sales of 360 and less than a third of the Wii)

A 61% increase, with NO price cuts, NO GAMES (I suppose...), last year it was the cheapest console, this year the 360 has a cheaper model, plus most of the stuff you mentioned.
