Maybe you should take into consideration userbase...

50's cents attachement to each console

360 - 0.159%

PS3 - 0.149%

On Topic - Funny I was thinking the opposite, that the PS3 numbers seemed a little over inflated...

Hmm, should I trust data from retailers or the gut feeling of BTFeather??

Which is the frustration?,..,..kz2 no jump the ps3 hardware ,ist bad coment?

I'll post this again, only because I think it is a very valid argument.

It sold more than you think in the US. Maybe not a HUGE amount but definitely several thousand more at least.

I posted this in another thread and I am pretty sure someone posted it here.

 

Considering how every single console and handheld dropped from the previous week in the US are you implying that without Killzone 2 the PS3 would have been the only one to not decrease? I would say that is good news for the PS3.

If your not implying that then you would have to assume the Killzone 2 boost was actually more than just 13k.

 

Thanks to Smeags for the charts.

Console	Last Week	This Week
	240,440	168,205
	146,125	115,117
	94,783	76,794
	54,718	66,003
	51,760	46,549

PS3: +11,285
PSP: -5,211
360: -17,989
DS: -31,008
Wii: -72,235

I know it is not 13k, it is 11,285, but that is the number the person I was responding to used in that other thread. He was talking about WW. Which I still think wasn't 13k but whatever.

Also if I am not mistaken, didn't sales drop across the board for the other consoles in Europe+Others as well?

 

 

This is probably less likely but still also a possible scenario.

XBox360 sales may have dropped by more just 17,989 without the release of Star Ocean 4. If I remember correctly the game sells well in America, so even it could have shifted some consoles to offset higher losses.

Sales numbers for the PS3 seem a little low every week.

What makes you think a lot of people purchased a PS3 for KZ2? Certainly some did, but since about 350k units sold, that wouldn't indicate that it hit must-have status in the US. Especially must-have status worth dropping $400 on. Besides, based on last weeks sales, some PS3s were definately moved due to KZ2... probably almost 20k... not too bad for opening with 350k. (and it probably was responsible for moving more than that in Others.)

Using the same logic I used above, EU+Others would also be a 15-20k total increase. Those are only if PS3 sales would have dropped half as much as the 360 sales dropped, which I am sure it would have dropped by more in EU+Others Week-over-week than half of the 20k or so that the 360 dropped. I am sure many would agree with this.

KZ2 could have possibly sold a minimum of 35-40k units of hardware this week possibly as high as 50k+. This is of course if PS3 would have dropped this week as opposed to last week like the other consoles had Killzone 2 not been released.

Anyone want to agree that PS3 sales would have otherwised not been affected this week and sales would have remained at last weeks totals? If so, GO PS3 ANYWAYS!

im actually surprised at the US hardware numbers. I mean the Ps3 increased hardware sales by about 20% and the xbox 360 sales decreased by roughly 20%. Im shocked that the 360 fell that much the week before halo wars and right after star ocean.

this is an amateur site, give them a break.

Actually Magnific0, that is no longer true. Brett has given up his 'other' job, and now all of his income comes from this. VGChartz is now a professional sales site.

And I am going to laugh at you so much when NPD confirms that these numbers are accurate

I believe Next week Should be Slightly higher!!!
