Wii at 48,7%, will be at 48% before November surely. But then we will see...

That's what many people don't understand. That's why there was a lag in time before PSP software sales started picking up there after the hardware was consistently higher for a while. I remember tons of people talking about that as well and how the PSP was not really doing better, etc.
But yeah, I got a mint condition Super Famicon in original box, instructions, and even the warranty paper. |
Wow that's pretty impressive, over here i'm lucky to get a used game that comes with a case, let alone manual. Hence why I never buy used games.

ioi also said PS3 wouldn't cross much over 50K in Japan in slims launch week he also said in september PS3 slims WW sales wil be 600K (550K week 1 now in fact) so he can be wrong.....frankly 30 - 40% rebuying a PS3 sounds ludicrous to me
|
Yeah, it's ridiculous.
ioi has already been proven wrong on the topic of PS3 sales for this week/month. He completely made that number up out of nowhere, and there's no way of really knowing or even making an estimate, of how many are re-buyers. Slim isn't exactly much of an upgrade over the fat.
He should leave his personal GUESTIMATES out of his articles. Now I know why VGChartz isn't taken seriously or treated as a credible source by any other gaming websites.
| RageBot said: I don't think that how many of the slim buyers are pepole who simply upgraded is trackable, I mean, how do you differentiate between the two kinds of buyers? |
It's not trackable.
ioi lost more credibility with that comment. He should really stop letting his fanboyism affect his judgement.
What do you all think the slim will sell in a month?
LOL @ the excuses. It only did this amount because this (excuse here). 550K is still 550k no matter who bought it. There is no way to keep track of who was previously had a PS3 or not before purchasing the slim. Surveying every purchaser wouldn't even work, because I always lie on surveys. Therefore, you would still get false data.
Friend Code : 2878 - 9590 - 0767
That's a great result for Sony, shows that price cuts do actually work. Same for 360, both are going up thanks to the price slashes. While Wii keeps on going down week after week with no signs of recovery. So people saying that price cuts would be morally wrong or Red Ocean or whatever you want to believe in, if Nintendo doesnt have a price cut it will miss their projections by a lot.

Bets with Conegamer:
Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.
nice job Sony!
360 still up Y.O.Y. despite Slim launch.
I wonder how well Wii holds up if the price drop rumors get out to the masses? Do they slow while people wait?
Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?
It's so nice to see the PS3 on top...
Anyway, while you lot are arguing about guessing the numbers of existing PS3 purchasers, I have hard evidence, because I saw 1 person getting a PS3 and he was also trading in a PS3, therefore everyone who bought one must have already had a PS3...
Seriously, don't read too much into guesses

I'd say the members of this site are pretty hardcore. If 30-40% of general ps3 buyers were rebuying the console, wouldn't that percent be even higher amongst a hardcore community like this?
How many people here have bought Slims to replace fats? Maybe two?
