PS3 --> 85% increase in sales = fail??? man the PS3 haters really like to set a high bar.

I'd just like to point out that PS3 has only cracked 70K in the Amreicas 12 times in the last year, and 10 of those times was in the Nov - Jan holiday buying season. Compared to 360 which had an unbroken run of 30 weeks > 70K from the date of it's price cut this time last year through to end of march.

As for Wii it never once dropped below 70K in the last year. Also note at no time in the last year did 360 (or PS3) outsell Wii in any week. If PS3 even gets a single week > Wii in Americas that will be a notable event. The last time 360 outsold Wii was on WE 17 Feb 2008. And the last time PS3 outsold Wii was on WE 15 June 2008.

So I'd say 70K for PS3 before the official launch of Slim is pretty damned good. Though I would note that 360's first week after 2008 price cut saw it climb to 97K. So first minute of round 1 in the PS3/360 bout in the Americas to 360 at this stage.

I'm astounded at the possibility of PS3 Batman AA > 360 batman AA in launch week. I don't believe this will be the long term outcome though. 2:1 install base advantage means 360 version must triumph (i.e. have longer legs). Yes I realise preliminary numbers favour 360, just, but the difference according to ioi is within the margin of error.

PS3 haters didn't set the high bar, PS3 fanboys set the high bar.

You should of read the slim predcitiosn thread to see what I mean,

 

Even if PS3 outsells the Wii next week, it wouldn't be that impressive. It's a $100 price drop AND a new model, if PS3 did not outsell Wii with that hefty boost, nothing will, and Sony would probably be very depressed. It would be more impressive if PS3 managed to outsell Wii with a major software release, and go on to outsell it for an additional week before dropping below.

I'm sorry... I didn't realize 85% NA = WW...

? He's talking about NA ..

85% is small when many people expected 300% increases worldwide.

Sounds like he is talking about WW to me...

300% increases worldwide, I was essentially saying 300% increases in every region.

If i intended worldwide numbers, I would have said a worldwide increase of 300%, not increases the plural is important, maybe i should have made it more clear.

People expected NA numbers over 200k, Others numbers over 200k, Japan numbers over 100k. Worldwide week 1 over 500k.


X + Y = Z does it matter if A + B = Z too?

But this is 600% WW increases and not 300%.

I expect 300k WW in first week.

Don't you just love his over exaggeration... kinda makes you wonder if he is just taking a cheap shot and pulling shit out of his ass and cherry picking or telling the truth.

Where exactly was the slim limited?  Its been all over the area where I live and im in a small town in the midwest...we normally get everything late.  The local target had a stack of them when I was there last thursday...for some reason though they dont have the new elite box...had the old one in stock with the price drop though.  Didnt see people fall over each other trying to get at either, but evidently the word was out people were stopping looking and talking about it while I was digging through the clearance games. :)

I don't see that either

no-one saw that xbox 360 could outsell ps3 by so much last holiday (2 million) from the first week of its price drop last year either

Wait & watch is the best approach

but last holiday there wasn't a price cut for the PS3... this time its price cut vs price cut. line-up vs line-up. brand vs brand. blu-ray vs DVD.

But microsoft has the upper hand in the U.S by both word of mouth and advertisement..
