By the way, Paperdiego, completely disregard my last post.

I truly feel like an idiot right now. You were talking about LittleBIGPlanet.

My apologies.

*sigh* -.-

How does anyone know for sure K2 didn't help PS3 sales?

Look at the PS3 sales in others late last year and early this year, what else can explain the sudden -almost double the sales (with 100,000s and 80,000s jump) over the last couple weeks?

Oh, was it the price cut?

It may not be as significant as some expected with Killzone2, but it is still an improvement regardless against a cheap 360.

We'll it could still be a PS3 worldwide week if the Japan numbers have the PS3 20k+ ahead of the 360. But i was refering to europe. Europe has become far more important sales wise then Japan. Japan has gone as i told you at start of the year, down bigtime and will continue too (wonder if your now prepared to say i was right and you were wrong about that seeing as your nearly 1m units out in just 3 months?). Europe is the war Sony must win. MS has won NA, it is a no contest as the 360 is nearly 9m units ahead there. Sony has won Japan in terms of PS3 vs 360. But the difference there is like 2m. Where as in Europe Sony attacked this period like never before, spent an absolute fortune on advertising the console and the games. For that to then drop back to last after 1 week has to be seen as dissapointing for them. Europe is where Sony needs to win.

It seems that you read paperdiego's comment wrong as well. He wasn't talking about KZ2.

Not sure if it can be seen as a "disappointment". PS3 hasn't had a price drop yet in Europe, that is 2-years now on the 23rd(?), 360 has had 2 or 3 in the last year. It costs nearly double the price and is only 10k behind it in sales.

The numbers actually look better for Sony than people give credit for. Remember, since the same time last year, sales only dropped 4.5k YoY for this week. I would say that is pretty good news.

PS3 is also more expensive in Europe compared to the rest of the world if I am not mistaken. I'll see if I can dig up the thread but Sony is most likely profiting per console sold in Europe. I am sure Sony said the PS3 is going to break even this year, so with a higher price in Europe they must at least be breaking even over there.

Not entirely sure on how the whole Yen thing works, so I could be way off. Either way, that is just my outlook on things.

This is actually a very civil sales thread.

PS3 stayed reasonably high. I'm pleased.

But,but,but... it has Bluray...Killzone 2 is a AAA game... free online... it`s just unfair

There you go. No need to get upset. It is almost double the price and still keeping up sales-wise. Cheer up!

Still is. I just looked at his smiley and saw he was upset. I thought I was doing the right thing by offering a tissue.

Best thing to do is just continue where we were.

Thank you...I feel better now... I forgot about the price
