You guys do know if the PS3 settles at 200k it would outsell the wii for the remainder of the year?

Nah after its own cut the Wii will probably settle around 250k until NSMB and the holydays get started.



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

awesome week!!. i want tales of vesperia!!!. is it coming to america?.


The current rumor is that it will. The VA's have said that they've been called back. No official word from BamCo though. As far as PS3 sales are concerned, I'm as baffled as everyone else. It will be very interesting to see next week's #s.

yeah i heard that too. well, lets hope it comes to america. i know i am surprised too with the hardware sales!. congratulations to the ps3!!. and all the consoles too!.

SO you think the wii cut is going to boost wii hardware well over 250K then

I think next week Wii is going to do 245k, then the week after back to 199k

How is that even possible? If you track any price cut it never returns to those levels that quickly. I hope to god you were being sarcastic or something. By Price cut I mean the cheapest or only SKU getting a price cut.

I'll be honest, I've noticed almost no uptick in sales for the Wii this week at my store. That's probably because 1. it's only a $50 price cut, and 2. price never had much to do with the Wii's sales in the first place.

I'm sure there was some boost overall, but what the Wii needs is another Wii Sports or Wii Fit. Price has never been an inhibiting/contributing factor to the Wii's success. It's always been about software.

If New Super Mario Bros. Wii becomes as successful as the first NSMB, it should perk up the Wii's sales nicely.

Such a true statement, sir.

According to Schuelma on NeoGaf,
"The usually pretty reliable MC leak has PS3 closer to 42K and Wii closer to 11K."

its due to ToV probably.

Two weeks in a row? Nah, it's something else, perhaps.... * gasp * people just WANT a PS3....

Is it that hard to imagine people?

It's hard to imagine because of no software releasing and we did not see any rises. What did these people buy with their PS3s? PS3 lost its price advantage in the BluRay department a long time ago.

That's why it's hard to believe.

The only explanation: people must REALLY WANT a PS3. That COULD be a reason you know....

Why do they want one is the question.

Why did software sales take a dive while hardware sales remained mostly flat. I mean, that should be the reason why they want one.

People certainly aren't going to buy a PS3 just to look at it.
