^^in NA or JAP


  NA of course, since there is no evidence that PS3 sales bounced in japan, more likely they kept falling



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

mhm Ninja gaiden doesn't push hardware, the bump most likely resulted from the fact its being marketed well, so its stabilizing around 75-90K in the america's. As for JAPAN, thats a confusing one

The Nintendo Wii is 25 million ahead (Still)  even with the HD price cut.  Xbox 360 jumped the gun with a full year head start and Ps3 came out the gate the same time.  Look whose leading this gen,  NINTENDO WII ...  nuff said.

obviously not, but online outlets didn't get a huge boost on the wii in japan.. if that's an indication of anything, they did get a huge boost in the America's and UK.

And Wii probably didn't get a huge boost in Japan, but that doesn't indicate that PS3 sales improved, or that PS3 outsold the Wii, in fact if you look at Amazon japan, DSi isn't in the top 10 yet we know that sells far better than the PS3, so I wouldn't use online retailers as a measure.

Wait, somebody thinks PS3 will be "back on top" in a week...

The PS3 was going to drop below the Wii in another couple weeks, without a Wii price cut.

That's what people said on Slim launch, before slim launch and ever since the Slim launch. Look what happened there.

The PS3 dropped every week since the price cut?  I don't get what you are trying to say.

Yet in NA it had an increase this week.

What i am saying is, a LOT people have been saying Wii will be back above PS3 in a couple of weeks ever since the Slim launched, including myself. Which didn't happen.

While i dont agree with what rafichamp says, you saying "The PS3 was going to drop below the Wii in another couple weeks" isn't necessarily true at all.

What I am wondering, is if you broke the link on purpose...

and here's America for everyone to look at too.

I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
