I thought the PS3 would be much lower than the 360......

 

MS had a terrible pricing policy until recently (concerning the exchange rate between the U.S and the canadian $ ). Also the difference is quite big and will get bigger after december , it's just the scale of the sales that is smaller .

 

Nice try man, but PS3 had the same problems - It was $650 at launch. Both were lowered at the same time.


Sony was much nicer to canadians when it comes to pricing the ps3 with the exchange rate in mind . At least that's what the sonybots on gaf had beensaying for ages .Anyway the 360 dominates the ps3 in canada based on these numbers .

US + Canada NPD LTD:

Wii: 15.98m
360: 13.15m
PS3: 6.51m

 

How did you get those numbers? I think I saw some combined numbers that already put Wii over 15M for just the US, so it must be over 16M for US+Canada.

Well those "fanbots" are wrong - I'm not sure why they would want to win that argrument anyway, it would just make the sales look worse.

Relative to USA, PS3 makes up 10.8% of NA sales, while 360 is 8.8%, and Wii is 6.3% - so it has been holding up better in that regard.

Yeah I am confused about that.

Here are some NPD USA figures: http://forum.pcvsconsole.com/viewthread.php?tid=11067

(although he does admit they are not all 100% accurate)

The total for USA here (adding in 2,040,000 for November) come to 15,391,000

Adding BKKs Canada number comes to 16,737,000 (+ about 760k)

Using that same source and adding in the missing (Nov + Canada) PS3 comes to 6,704,000 (+ about 200k)
and the X360 comes to 13,506,000 (+ about 355k)

I am inclined to trust BKK more than that site, but perhaps BKK missed something



PS3 in last...becoming a regular occurance sadly...



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

Ya, that's my country there :P XD

Actually just bought SMBA4:SMB3 :P



                           

Great sales for Nintendo. It´s a pity though that we do not get the monthly sales in Canada as easy as the US ones.



Yeah sorry, that was a mistake for Wii, it was missing October US numbers, fixed now.
