Strong for MS to keep the hold on the US


Hehe, that's like saying strong of Sony (Nintendo) to keep hold of Japan.



OK should be fixed now.

PS3 held bloody well. 360 small boost for Halo: ODST, Wii drop before the price cut.

Sony is staying strong in Europe.

360 is back on top of PS3 in North America... Price cut, slim, Uncharted 2 hype, just wasn't enough.

Expect Wii to be back on top next week...

Question is how will that affect the other two consoles...?

Eh??? Uncharted 2 has yet to release. What are you talking about?

Unless you have been under a rock since E3 gaming news everywhere is talking about how great a game Uncharted 2 is...  I know it will be a great game.  I expect nothing less from Naughty Dog, but the hype machine is in over drive...  Three weeks before release and review scores are coming out like crazy calling it "the best game of the generation", one, "the best single player campaign ever", etc.  Deservedly or not, it is hype nontheless...

 

Huh? Its not like people buy the console 2 weeks before the game (they want) releases.

Yes, but if I'm not mistaken, HW sales begin to increase days before release, no?

Great sales for ps3, good thing its holding on. Ds is really a beast.

@Neoratt

Well 360 also had a price cut and i think Halo 3 odst helped a little bit. Nevertheless if both can sustain at 80k a week then its great.

I suppose Halo 3: ODST helped shift consoles in the US after all....

Don't forget the $50 cashback as well, making the Elite effectively $249 at the moment. And yeah, I can't see the console names either, bit strange but I've been having issues with post formatting today as well, maybe the forum is having slight issues.

I totally forgot about that.

Umm... 360 is ahead of the PS3 in NA because of Halo. PS3 sold more in NA this week than 360 did last week. Also the $200 Wii will affect the 360 Arcade sales more than the 360 Elite or PS3 sales.

I know man, this goes back to the whole internet hype vs. hype in outer world. If hardware sales are going to increase, it'll be just days before release.

IMO nothing comes close to the hype machine that was Halo3. I have yet to see uncharted2 make the headlines on the TV news channels and the press.

Now check to see how many x360s were sold 3weeks before Halo3 launched in comparison to the week it did.
