in my stadistic class, prof said red is used misguide information.
as red is used for danger. so people when they see red try to avoid it.

Your stadistic class?

Awesome numbers, its like the old days again

Now the question is, can PS3 keep it up and be above Wii next week?


  It won't look at software, even on its best week it can't beat a mediocre week of Wii software sales

 

I mean people talk about Wii falling off, but man its still moving a ton of software every week, even if you took out Wii Sports and Wii play Wii still outsold the PS3 in software, this shows that there is nothing really driving PS3 sales expcept the initial price drop and new Sku excitement, and those never last

Wii has sold twice as much as the PS3.

You really expect PS3 to sell as much SW as the Wii?

Get a grip.


  look at my above post, now what do you have to say?

Does that change the fact that it was still the market leader?

Or even more so... does that change the fact that Mario Kart Wii released that week?

Lovely! Hopefully the numbers stay high up until and all throughout the holiday period.

@Avinash: That doesnt prove anything at all.

http://vgchartz.com/weekly.php?date=39355&console=&maker=&boxartz=1#

360 had 11.7 million consoles out the week of September 29th 2007, it sold 4.5 million units of SW that week, over 1.5 million more than what the Wii sold on April 12th 2008, and yet having less than half the install base.

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.

That you chose the launch week of Mario Kart Wii, that sold 1.16M copies week one.

Go back one week and the Wii sold about 2M pieces of software. Subtract the 350K bundled Wii Sports, and you're back to about 1.65M. That's what, 15% more than the PS3 today? Sounds good but in the very same league.

Kinda proves my point that software is the big reason for console success, Wii has the software, even now, and its yearly drop is because its software sin;t as strong as last year, also if PS3 can't outsell the Wii's software, it'll never be the market leader, even if it has a price drop, and its sales spike will fall off, since there is nothing beyond the price cut to sustain it, also look at other weeks, Wii still outsold the PS3 with less consoles and without Mario kart Wii

No Mario Kart, no Brawl and less than 21 million consoles and it still sells far more than PS3

With fewer consoles, and Wii kept that up consistently, kind of blows that whole more consoles argument out of the water, and I can point to other weeks earlier without kart or Brawl where sales are still consistent, kind of shows my point that software keeps the momentum and Wii has the software to maintain stronger sales than the PS3, i'm not detracting from the PS3 sales this week, but I am showing that its not some new equilibrium

It'll be interesting to see how close the hardware and software sales are going to be during Halo week. It was about this time last year where sales were actually intersting.

The timing of the PS3 slim and Halo ODST release makes this interesting. Will PS3 sales drop as 360 sales rise to even eachother out? The weeks after will also be nice to watch.

As for me, I can't wait till the Zune HD comes out!!! I wonder how the sales for that thing go also.
