Well, it has gone blue.

Loathe though I am to admit my ignorance, I have no idea what that means.

Around the Network

With all the 360 owners waited for a price drop, not shocking at all.



While I expect Vesperia to give a decent boost in JP next week I doubt we're going to see 150K again before XIII. Although I wouldn't be surprised to see it around 90-100K for the next couple weeks. And I'm not eating crow because I didn't make a prediction anyway.



Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

Anyone who didn't think it would sell well on launch week was frankly dumb. Sales in Europe and Japan dropped a lot the last month while people waited for the slim to came out. However its one week folks, lets see it keep steady sales the rest of the year before popping the champagne. It's not like this killed 360 sales, they increased as well. Only thing hurting sales wise right now is the Wii.

yeh your right it did fuck all to the ps3 but just think about how it'll sell over november and december! start making bets people! i say 5+ million in november and december alone! dont forgte the big releases in december guys! 2 of sonys bigest games!



I said 250k-300k so i was waaaay out and in all honesty shocked at those numbers.

In 7 days the slim sold 500k, that is purely epic numbers for an HD console.
To put that into some sort of perspective "if" these numbers are true then that means the PS3 has clawed back the 360's gap for 2009 in just 1 week, that shows you how competative the PS3 could have been from the start if Sony had done it right to begin with.

However i do find it all a bit suspicious like has happened in the past where the hype and early data has not quite been right. What makes me think this is simply down to the fact when i was in HMV on saturday there was shead loads of slims on the shelves. If we were told places only had limited stock and sold 1000% more this week then surely right now they would be sold out?
In the UK it is supposed to have sold at least 40k but on places like Amazon the slim barely makes it into the top 20 on hourly tracking. Surely if demand was that high it would be 1st?

Either way nobody can deny that Sony have done brilliant with the launch and have turned the tide. They have a chance now to catch up to the 360 and maybe even to the Wii.
What will be interesting is to see how both Nintendo and Microsoft respond to it.

So i was wrong on my prediction, waaaaay wrong. Good job Sony, black is back.



Matte is the new black xD
