The DS bubble is bursting before your very eyes, take some time to reflect on the good years.

 

Yes, listen to the man. He knows exactly what he's talking about.

DS can't possible sell anymore. I already got 3 of them in my household.

There's no way I am buying anymore.

(until DSi anyways)

DS is a sinking ship in America, two weeks in a row 360 has outsold it. If it happens next week there won't be any supply excuses.

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

Hmm am i the only one who finds the PS3 numbers potentially dodgy?

If you look at the week over week % drops we see a pattern where 360,Wii and PSP all dropped around 25% each. That is a natural drop. Where as the PS3 drop was only 6k, about 5%. Would we not expect the % to be in line with the other formats? Especially when you think about how much bad press Sony has got recently what with the figures, then add to that the price cut rumours. Maybe i'm just being picky :)

Fail.

The percentage drop would not be as big as the other systems since they sold so much more than the PS3. 

Don't let your PS3 hate spit in the face of common sense, or sense period.  x_x

 

 Fail.

Unless there is supply constraints, big game release, price drop etc. The percentage drops should be the same/similar for each console.

Sarcasm?

Cause that is grossly incorrect.

Lowest selling systems will always have the smallest drops.  x_x

Hyruken is perfectly right asking the question why PS3 sales %-wise havent dropped as much as the X360 and Wii. Because by all logic it should have.

But I believe the answer is that Brett might be stealth adjusting the overtracked X360 sales a lil bit.

After a couple of weeks we will see that the NA sales proportion will go back to the PS3 having 60% of X360 sales, instead of 70% we're seeing this week (72K vs 103K).

fail.    (because it is obviously the cool thing to do)

the PS3 should see a lesser % drop because it saw a lesser % rise, that is of course assuming it can hold to it previous, pre-holidays sales.

How so? 

The PS3 was selling the least out of the platforms, and therefore had the largest drops.  How is my math incorrect?
