Forums - Sales - Can PS3 beat XBOX360 hardware numbers for the week ending 30-May-2009?

PS3 has got a major software release in each of the three category..

with exclusive infamous in NA and others.

and Shin Sangoku Musou 5 Empires in Japan.

and we have bundles in Other.

in others PS3 and XBOX will be equal or like -2k to - 3k 

in NA PS3 is going to be like -10k

so PS3 will have to win Japan by +15k.. which is a little tough.. but in Japan PS3 is very erratic..

overall i believe its less than 50% PS3 wins.

What are your takes?

Erm, I would say no on the face of it. But hey Japan is hard to pick, it really depends on how big that game is really.



Tease.

Bundles in Other can also make a hardware push, but lately they are not doing much for PS3



Hmm...

I cant pick, but il say it will be within 5k consoles.



                            

although i know anedotal sales data is always too far off..
But in this thread ppl r saying some good sales report of infamous.

but still the chances of it pushing the hardware numbers are pretty slim

The difference is very little at the moment so there is a chance, InFamous will sell well, but the question is can it have any sort of impact on Hardware sales? There should be a decent bump in Japan as well it will be very close.



My heart tells me yes, my brain says no.

It will be higher than 360 worldwide by 5k or more.

In the past few weeks PS3 has been trailing the 360 by abt 10k.When the PS3 numbers for first day sales of the week came in,PS3 had a bit of a boost.

It will also be above Wii in Japan



Nope, 360 will be above PS3 this week. Killzone 2 and Yakuza 3 combined just about put the PS3 above the 360. inFamous and "Shin Sangoku Musou", whatever that is, will have nowhere near the same impact.

probably not, but it appears to have moved more than 50k software units as per the prelim numbers, and as far as i know its a Dynasty Warriors title.

I do agree with you on the 360 above PS3 this week though
