im going to be brave.... temporary boost.... 4 to 5 weeks then below 360 for the rest of the year in the US by 10% at least...

Saying 360 is going to outsell the PS3 in NA is not brave, you are just going by history.

@soriku

if someone is claiming PS3 will outsell the wii for the rest of the year (especially in NA)

there's no point even bothering to argue with such a person.....because whatever you say may seem insignificant to them

EDIT:

oh if they mean Japan, its likely.....especially as FF13 + GT5 is 10 times bigger than wii's whole holiday lineup combined

Even though New Super Mario Bros will likely outsell both of them, maybe combined.

I will bet anyone that NSMBWii will outsell them both. The Game has a time of 2 Months. So if NSMBWii releases on November 1st then it has got until Jan 1st. And then FF13 can release on December 1st and it has got time till Feb 1st..Get my point.And the bet doesn't include both combined.... 

The sales counted will be WW for 2 months...

It's not uncommon for it to sell out at some stores.

Some stores still sell out of Wiis from time to time.

Ps3 slim is still in stock everywhere i check, online and in the stores. Which is not a bad thing, it means Sony managed to meet demand.

@ph4nt,
What I mean is, during this period of sales 22-29, most ps3 phat stock sold out. Now according to thousands of posts before me, there are much less than 100 thousand consoles (really guessing here at 40-50k) in stores across america at any given time (except holidays and sales days like Black Friday).
Having halted shipments, the figure was probably on the low end, and the slims probably brought it up to the high end. Then after sales stopped and shipments weren't going to be in for a week, some higher traffic outlets might have broken street date and sold their slims as well and had to wait another 1-2 days for shipment.

So, this must be a smaller sales period than next week, which is good news.

What numbers were you guys expecting, seriously complaining about the PS3 selling 100k in America is crazy. It's a third place console, the gamers have already made their choice, there won't be a comeback, get it out of your heads. What Sony is doing is trying to at least make some money out this disaster that was this Generation, so for our sake, stop dreaming and enjoy the ride, the games.

In my sig, sir. Thanks, Piccard!

This is crazy.. when I think about it, the HD twins could outsell the Wii 2.5 to 1 next week.



Pixel Art can be fun.

That's all the PS3 could do? Damn it couldn't even beat the 360. I though the PS3 would've been over 100k first week.

My god.. Will it kill you to read? For christ sake..

Read what ioi said, then look at your post..

Jesus..

 

By the way, how much do you get paid for that advertisement in your sig?

Because if you aren't, well... for-profit corporations aren't NGO's worth volunteer work.

The image is being mooched off gamesrader, does it mean gamesrader is getting free "impressions" out of your campaigning on vgchartz?

What the fuck did that have to do with what Smashed post?

 

Yeah, because proudly supporting a console means you're getting paid to do it right? STFU

 

So these days "proudly supporting" is an euphemism for "I'll contribute to the greed of a huge transnational corporation that doesn't give a shit about me nor about anything else beyond its own bottom line". "Proudly supporting" is something to be said about Doctors without Borders, the Red Cross and other NGO's. But corporations? 

Not to mention motherfucking IOI, the guy that puts real effort on this site needs ads in order to generate revenue and to keep vgchartz alive. Free advertisement on people's sigs is sending a message to Sony: don't spend dollars on vgchartz, the zealots will do it for free! 

By the way, if you read the thread there's many a honest ps fan complaining about these kind of things. 

But whatever, the bar has been set so damn low it's already below ground level.

How much are MS paying you to advertise the gamerscore and gamercard feature... in your sig?

360 fans have gotten real bitter since the slim announcement. I mean, there is no reason for Bitmap to even address the issue. This is a non-issue that bitmap is making into one. Get off their backs bitmap. Let them do what they want. They arent breaking the rules. You look petty.

Did you say bitter? For what? What do 360 owners have to be bitter about? Please show us where 360 - or even Wii fans - are bitter?

They are addressing how many of these over the top threads about how much the PS3 was going to own the 360 - and may beat it - but not by much. And mind you, the PS3 is still losing money for Sony - is lacking features that made the fattys sought after. I wouldn't mind taking Linux for a spin - but not on a Slim.

Please, realize that the Slim is welcome to some fans, but give me a Fatty any day of the week.
