PS3 numbers are rubbish...30k or so a week is awful.

It sold over 40,000 less. Sure it doesn't seem much on it's own, but PS3 is so far behind in install base it can't afford to keep trailing in marketshare like that. I'm not saying they should drop the price if it doesn't make sense profit-wise, but these numbers are nothing to get excited over. |
Stop putting words in my mouth, I just said SONY should be in no hurry to drop the price if in a recession their console which is double the price of xbox 360 is only 40K behind
PS3 can't ever surpass 360's install base in NA ever (thats set in stone now), so think about it logically, SONY's aim must be to ensure profitiability, so delaying a price drop to the holidays instead of the rumored August one is much more sensible
thats all I'm saying
may is 4 weeks too....june is 5 weeks...remember....march, june, september and december are 5 five weeks, 3 on 3 months

Ever notice that crap that goes on the forums when ever ioi adjusts the numbers?
Now imagine companies who pay NPD being told that the numbers they where giving last month were off..

What words did I put in your mouth? I say don't get excited, that's not a word. You also said, "absofrikkinglutely fine!" That sounds like an excited person, as I can't imagine someone saying that statement out loud in a normal tone.

awful = PSP numbers not PS3
I am comparing PS3 numbers to xbox 360's & considering the recession.......PS3 is doing FINE, SONY better not risk profits & drop its price in august

It's worth noting that while companies do pay NPD for numbers, the numbers posted here aren't the numbers they get paid for...
