That article uses Amazon as its only source. I'll wait for the next few weeks of VGChartz data.

The shocker would be if the Slim WASN'T beating the elite.

The issue is that 50% of the Xbox 360's sold are Arcades. They didn't drop the price. Whereas 100% of the PS3's had a price drop.

Having said that, I hope both price drops help both console sell better. Always good when there's a healthy competition, and I think this move by both companies may eat into Nintendo's market share until they decide to finally drop the price on their comparatively expensive device.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Now on to the OP link:

Really not a solid way of saying who is beating what when your comparing Amazon rankings. The Xbox has 2 or more SKU's versus 1 Playstation SKU. Kind of hard to quantify any data that way. Not doubting the PS3S>X360E, but....It's not a great way to argue using Amazon, and we all should know better.

Why do we use Amazon for calculating our predictions and our estimates most of the time?

It seems that it is the  first time in any console cycle, two comparable consoles compete head to head with same price and there are more advantages in favour of PS3 this time around from previous scenarios as of 2007 and 2008:

the link below states few:

That article is stupid. It says that the XBox 360 price change just happened the night before and now they are comparing it sales with the PS3 Slim and original PS3 that had their price cut 10 days ago. LMAO!! Are they stupid or what. The XBox 360 sale price hasn't even be on sale for 24hrs yet. That's the WORSE comparison I've ever seen. Why don't they wait 30 days and then do the comparison? Everyone know that more people were waiting for a PS3 price cut, then an XBox 360 price cut. XBox 360 have been outselling the PS3 all year, so why would many people care about an XBox 360 price cut? LOL!! Dumb @#$%%#!!Also, Amazon is one of the worse sites to track sales. The PS3 is on top like you say, but when the NPD sales come out the XBox 360 and Wii will have sold more consoles. LOL!! Amazon.com?!?! LOL!!

 


30 days aren't required..well the comparison needs to be put out atleast by mid sept when significant numbers start showing up. It's just something I'm really looking forward to know.

The comparison is still bogus though. Everyone knows the PS3 Slim is going to outsell the XBox 360 for the first 3 weeks, at least until Halo ODST gets released or bundled in Sept. That's a given. I think the big question is will the PS3 Slim outsell the Wii worldwide. You would think it would. I'm expecting PS3 sales to literally triple the first 3 weeks. I'll be shocked if it doesn't.

Umm, Amazon sales mean nothing. PS3 was always beating 360 on Amazon before Slim, but of course in reality 360 was beating PS3. I'd say there's still a very good chance 360 will outsell PS3 in both August and September NPD's.

 

I think PS3 fanboys like to order from Amazon to influence the rankings? I dont know.

To everyone saying that the 360 elite isn't cheaper than the PS3 slim:

360: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5751086

PS3: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9476952&st=ps3+slim&lp=1&type=product&cp=1&id=1218115837227

This is obviously a huge accomplishment for Sony, being able to sell as much as or more than the much cheaper elite!
