after looking at Xbox 360's sales how can you say Ps3 is doing poor?

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

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.

did you ignore the word "fine".

I can't imagine anyone being excited after using such a depressing word like "fine"

If I was getting excited I'd be like "OMG PS3 FTW! DOING AMAZING"

I just don't see how in the circumstances PS3 is doing poor, unless we are saying that Xbox 360 is doing poor too, or even wii as its not high at all.

PSP sales are poor, the rest are fine

Okay. You use exclamation points and say things like "absofrikkinglutely" when you are calm. And "fine" is a depressing word. My mistake.

Nope, PS3 numbers are poor, especially WW.

Horrid numbers for anything that's not a DS. Infamous did good though.

Well let's not get into yet another NPD debate, but believe me their numbers are not perfect and never have been. That said, we are obviously low on UFC and Infamous, question is how low.


is it possible you can increase the sample size?

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

How to find out how many weeks those numbers refer to?

I thought it was only the last month of each quarter which had 5 weeks.

Excuse me sir. I was wondering perhaps with some of the games being high or low that a different pattern of purchasers/purchasing is done as certain games appeal to certain demographics who may shop in stores like Walmart where we don't have any tracking whilst NPD has their consumer panel?



Tease.
