We should take a look at all of their percent drops and then see if the biggest drop was Wii, second 360, and third PS3.

Smallest drop units wise. The percentage drops should still be roughly the same. The small PS3 drop is weird compared to the Wii/PSP/360 drop.

It is less weird if you take into account a plus or minus 5% error margin.

 Simply like tombi123 put it: "The percentage drops should still be roughly the same"

 hmm, Dmeister is right, but I am not sure it is for the same reasons...

The PS3 due to its high price was not a big holiday item comparitively, therefore it saw less of a holiday boost % wise and definitly numbers wise. Assuming that it goes back to preholiday levels and not lower, it number wise drop and % wise drops will be less severe.

A good example last gen was the Xbox Gamecube Paradigm.   The Xbox would crush the cube all year, but then the cube would see a massive holiday boost and the xbox a modest one, but when the holidays were over the cube would crash and the xbox would settle back in.    Right now, the 360 being the cheapest console is getting "gamecube" treatment. Meaning all the people who just want pay the least go out and get it for cmas.

Fail? Do people still say that.....

Hey add me on psn Dsheister and i'll happily hand your ass to you on any game. You know such is my PS3 hate that i actually own a PS3, i hate it so much that i actually paid for one......(where do these people come from?)

If you actually did a bit of research rather then cry fanboy like a little baby you might have seen that the % drop from years gone by does not fit with it. Have a look at and 08 numbers and you see some patterns. Mainly lets look at 08 numbers for the week to week drop off %.

Wii last year was not in stock so we can't look at that. 360 went from 111k to 75k (36K drop which is over 25%). PS3 numbers went from 75k to 56k (19k drop which is over 20%) and PSP went from 80k to 60k (20k drop which is a 20% drop).

Now are you clever enough to see a pattern there? The pattern that they were all around the 20% mark drop off? Then look at the numbers this year Wii,360 and PSP all again dropped by 20% to 25% in sales.

So where you say fail just shows you don't actually notice trends my friend, maybe you should have a look at numbers before you go off on one of your "im dj meister i know everything, because you say bad about my love child the ps3 that must make you a ps3 hater and thus the enemy", get over yourself mate it really is quite sad.

But no doubt your do just like you did in the last thread where i handed your ass to you "i didn't read it because im god and what i says go because nobody else could be right as i know everything etc.. etc.."

So then back on topic, yeah the % drops don't seem right for the PS3. That is not me saying it didn't sell those numbers just saying it isn't keeping with the pattern the others had for this year and last year.

it seems like the ps3 didnt get that knockout punch that was thrown at it, stay alive my blu-ray player.

I agree with others saying the PS3 had a drop that is A-typical. The X360 consistently outsold the PS3 2:1 in Nov-Dec, and now it's 10:7. Very strange, and I think that they'll either get fixed, or NPD with verify overtracking in January.

But time will tell. It's not big enough of a deal to cry about it unless VGC randomly begins to overtrack the PS3 on a consistent (2-3 month) basis.

Ok for the sake of everyone here look

october- (first full month after pricecut)
360- 450k
PS3- 300k

December-
360- 1600k
PS3- 740k

The PS3 recieved a boost from october to december of 246%
The 360 recieved a boost of 355%

now, even if the 360 come out a bit higher in the end, the PS3 could have less % drops.

jeez people, use math before you accuse someone of not knowing how to.

 Or maybe how bad LBP is holding up...

bigjon's explanation makes very much sense, although I still believe stealth adjusting of numbers (because of recent overtracking) mite be in effect.

bigjon u shuld change ur avatar BTW, it's annoying and I cant get used to it that a guy turned into two party girls.
