ps3... still pretty imprressive

wii.... not that impressive

360.... needs a kick.

ergh typo?


not at all... its marginally up year on year... it will be down year on year (weekly) again soon enough. 

So that yoy ytd drop of 3 million isnt coming back anytime soon. 

In summary, the price drop doesnt look like reversing the decline from 2008.

 

 

But ioi said Wii will go higher next week

ioi also said the PS3 would sell 600k consoles in September.

ioi may be right most of the time, but his word is not necessarily the truth. And at this point in time, kowenicki is correct.

PS3 sales up, even with 12k loss in Japan?

FIFA might have had something to do with it... Not too sure though.

That doesn't explain America though, where it went up too...

YEAH! that also in the same week the Wii got a price cut!

Also FIFA....why will it only affect PS3?

+ isn't PES known to be more pro PS brand.....sos urely PES 2010 would've affected PS3 hardware

either way MAYBE this is simply a sign that SONY's marketing is finally right & people are you know, shockingly actually buying the PS3.

I think things have turned for PS3, probably the best I've seen a last plavce console perfom, ever! A testament to the brand.

I actually did a lot of research last night on Wiki involving each of the major brands: Sega, Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox. LOTS of interesting info on stuff, and I do mean lots. The PlayStation brand is stronger than I thought it was, as are Nintendo's sales. My God!

Care to share some info with us?

Anyway....yeah a BRAND that had consoles selling over 100 Million aint weak.

YEs I have NO IDEA how PS3 sales went UP

even though JAPAN sales FELL by 12K!

I think it's anticipation of a great holiday and word spreading that the PS3 is no longer doomed.

ps3 is still doomed until it makes profit...sure, Sony has a lot of money, but they need to find a way to have profits from SCE...and with the price cut and a not so great software boost i'm not sure that "the brand is profitable" like Kaz said...

PlayStation brand is everything tied with PlayStation.

Games, PSP, PSP Go, PS2 etc.

Don't even bother trying to explain it to him. It's been done before.

Best thing to do is just ignore him.

You can explain what you want, they didn't had a profit last quarter and likely not even this quarter...ok, it's not doomed, but it's in trouble: sony can leave without their games sector and this is a problem because they need to show that that sector is useful (sales, profit and other minor things...).


Oh man... so what position do you have in the sony financial section? Tell me something... is Sony going to make a Ps9 like the ads around the internet say?

I can just speak about the official numbers...i have not Sony's mind, i can't tell you if for them are more important sales or profits...i was just speaking about my point of view but hey, if they are right like this i'm happy for you and for them! Please don't think i'm attacking sony, i just thought they care of profit and by Kaz's last statement they're not sure about making it this quarter (because ps3 hardware is still sold at a little loss).

ok? :)

To be brutally honest, I think that aint happening this gen.

Kowenicki's marketshare charts will further enlighten us on this topic!

ps3 sales went up probably thanks to the release of the 250gb model in the uk also fifa release will help the system in europe.

I hope it does that well, I want Wii to pass 55 million before November, and hopefully top 60 million in December, week ending 19th December is likely.

I didn't say you were attacking Sony but I figured that you must have inside information if you are telling us Sony lost money again this quarter
