360 was overtracked by much more than Ps3 this month in the US

 

 I wasen't really following the 360 numbers but i would hazard a guess the drop is still within the same 25% to 30% week to week decrease we had been seeing with the other formats. The PS3 was falling at just supposedly 6% which i said had to be wrong which is now proven that my theory was correct. Year over year the PS3 is down almost 25% not the 6% VGC we're saying. 360 is still way up and the Wii and DS are on a different planet, a Nintendo planet, formaly known as earth :)

while yourover-exaggerating the Ps3 doom & gloom n saying PS fanboys will be sad.

I willt ell you I am happy with the PS3 sales considering the recession

but TBH its the PSP that is the one showing bad/horrible hardware sales + we know it doesn't do any software anyway

your picking on the wrong playstation system if you want to say SONY is doing awful.

 

Hey i'm not picking on any of the playstation formats, i actually didn't say anything bad about any of them. Was just pointing out that all the other formats we're following pretty much the same pattern as each other but the PS3 seemed to be following a different drop % pattern.

Sony right now is the only one of the three who's growth has gone backwards. It needs to increase sales by 25% just to get back on par with sales this time last year. That is not a good sign for it's 2009 year.

But i love my PS3 and numbers won't change that. If only i could get my fecking music files to stream from my pc to my ps3 i would be over the moon :)

 

Some battles are just not worth fighting Hyruken...I'm not sure how you can spin 25% decrease along your product lines, while your competitors are up over 30-100% more in that period...as anything other than bad.  So, anything you post will be interpreted as slamming.

They have youtube tutorials on how to do that, it's pretty simple. Or do you mean you know how to do it, it just doesn't work for you?

The unfortunate side-effect of these results is what is going to happen on the forums for the next couple of weeks ... "Wii Hate Week" and "PS3 Doom Week" are my least favourite weeks on this site.

 

HappySqurriel: So much trolling. What can posters do against such reckless hate?
Smeags: Ride out with me. Ride out and meet them.
HappySqurriel: For death and glory.
Smeags: For VGChartz. For your people.
HappySqurriel: The Horn of Helm Hammerhand will sound in the deep, one last time!

We haven't seen too much from SDF lately.
