Ok you're blaming the slow PS3 sales on BOX SIZE.

Joke account confirmed.

 

MikeB said: @ seece No sold to retailer data, the PS3 sold 21.3 million units by the end of 2008. Taking equal measures the XBox 360 sold 28 million units by the end of 2008. Just google it.

 

I don't need to I got my words jumbled, I mean sold to consumers.

@ seece

You said:



I said I used sold to retailer figures.

And BTW, you misrepresent my comment in your signature. Very immature. IMO PS3 sales are fine at this point considering entry pricing and point of its life cycle. What I said is that the PS3 is locally the least in stock console due taking more shelf space and this may be true elsewhere, this says nothing about sales or frequency of restocks. Just one equal sized pallet of Wiis and 360s contain more units than an equal sized PS3 pallet.

I provided a link, people can check it out for themselves.

I'm not having a conversation with you anymore Mikey ... as if I didn't take you seriously before that comment takes the biscuit.

 

And once again MikeB got owned lol,
Happens all the time lately.....

You wish. 

I'm not gonna supply the appropiate googable terms because no one deserves that and besides, it'd totally derail this thread.

Anyways, the graphs are interesting. The way the situation has turned in Europe is really impressive, although it appears the 360's gap momentum is slipping somewhat in 2009.

lmao.

That's like saying that the 360 is killing the PS3 in Europe..

OT

Interesting graphs.

So Wii was sold out in its first two years. It had extremely big box?

 

@ saicho

I have to wonder how you guys make this up, it shouldn't be too hard to understand what was stated.

1) I didn't say the PS3 is sold out.

2) I stated that the PS3 boxes are considerably larger, thus with equal shelf space fewer boxes fit onto the shelves.

That's what I think is the primary reason why there are fewer PS3s in stock over here.

The point is, if that's the case elsewhere (which makes sense) then there should be overall fewer PS3s on the shelves compared to Wiis and 360s worldwide and not the other way around, with VGChartz assuming 1 million more PS3s on the shelves than there were 360s on the shelves by the end of 2008, these 1 million PS3 boxes take up a lot of extra storage. So is PS3 shelf space considerably larger than 360 shelf space on average worldwide? Here it's about equal, but there are some less significant shops like Blokker which do not sell 360s, but do sell Wiis and PS3s.

Is it really that hard to understand my points, people?
