Was anybody really expecting the Killzone 2 boost to have much effect the second week anyway. I thought numerous threads on the subject have already pointed out that even the best games now will only ever spike sales short term.

All round decent sales, and I'd say despite the comment above K2 did give a few thousand push this week too for the PS3. No surprises really.

As long as Sony can continue to sell this volume they will be happy whether they are in 3rd or 1st. For Sony right now profit is top priority.

 

People should engrave this upon their minds. So many threads would not exist if they did.



Healthy sales all around.

The Xbox 360 outsells the PS3 in the week after Killzone 2 is released. I think it should now be apparent to all that the PS3 is a sinking ship and that no game will save it.

 

 

I would love to hear how you came up with that conclusion.

The way I see it.

Nearly double the price, only 10k less in sales.

 

How that equates to "sinking ship" though is beyond me.

Still doing horrible

 

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Big drop for PS3 from last week...
Ouch.

Looks like Killzone2 won't be the savior.



Xbox360 steady.
Impressive.

 Sony, the former face of gaming for two generations, is now dead last.

Nintendo, the former bottom feeder of the last few generations in the console wars, is now dead first.

It helps me sleep at night.



It's just that simple.

I'm sorry, who are you again?

I never even said I had a problem with Sony being in last, I am saying that 10k less in sales with no price drop since launching in EU+Others and being almost double the price is not considered "doing horrible".

Anyways, I really don't care.

You can thank Europeans having impressive Sony brand loyalty, much to the success of Playstation and PS2. Before, Europeans were mainly PC focused but it was Playstation that turned them into console gamers.

For MS to swoop in and actually take away from that brand loyalty and actually have a lead on them, is astounding. Offcourse Nintendo helped too with the casual appeal.

Despite the price gap and only being 10k above PS3 in weekly sales, considing the rich history of Europeans buying consoles that only have the name "Playstation" on it just because.........this is a huge MS victory.

 



Oh great, we're getting the "You said it was teh saviour!" crap.

The only people saying KZ2 was a saviour of anything were the Microsoft fanboys. It's good to see they had so much faith in it
