From what your charts show the Wii is beating the crap out of 360.

Flat software, declining hardware versus growing, and selling less revenue despite what, 7 million more Wii's in households now is beating the crap?

 

Yes Wii is very succesful but there are certain signs of weakness growing there.

 

If you look at Wii versus the HD consoles, which a publisher would look at PS3/360 as one (ports), PS360 is becoming quite dominant over Wii, then when you consider how little non Nintendo software sells on Wii, it really gets bad.

Look at your chart for software. The Wii is winning by 3 million with the 360 having a full years more time.

Well, imo sony won. just look at the numbers!!

They won on the surface, (in unit hardware sales, over 360 not DS) but I'm saying 360 achieved a moral victory..and had much good news. Next month 360 may even retake the lead on PS3 already btw. Of course PS3  got a big boost not just from a new model but a $100 price cut. Now to see how they hold. They can only fall from the first month of hype.

thats what they said about the first week of sales for the ps3 **the next week it will die off in japan blah blah** YET TOV held up well and kept the ps3 on the 50k mark for quite some time....this time its no differnet.....uncharted will keep ps3 ales in the 200-250k range till the end of NOV....and then comes.....

So Nintendo sold the most hardware and the most software?

I think we all know who won

You changed your post. From what you added to the post you are right.

Ah, the manipulation and interpretation of stats. Love it. But I guess this is what VGC is all about :)

They already did die off in Japan. PS3 sold 27k this week.

 

PS3 probably sold like 350k it's first month after Slim (150k first week), it's tracking to do like <120k it's second. That's what falling off is.

No, 360 didn't quite 'win NPD. This thread did win a ROFFLE, though.

i meant world wide sales...too add 27k was right under the wii....and again...it beat the wii in japan even though the wii had a 50$ price drop....the ps3 is stabalizing World wide....and will stay that way *thats my prediction anyways

Don't forget that the 360 had a price cut also. They can only fall after their hype did them no good.

I wouldn't call it a price cut, it was a value added incentive.  They stopped making the pro's and value added the extra stuff you get with the elite for the same price.  Their is a major difference.  This way I would imagine microsoft is still making a profit per console sold.  Now if they decide to take 50-100 off this price then they will deffinately be losing money like Sony is.

 

It still amazes me of the tie in ratio for the 360, man its a software beast.

I will give him that. He is doing a very good job of manipulating the stats but at the end of the day all regular people care about is who won in sells at the end of the month.

It's like football. The other team can beat you in the first 3 quarters and have the best stats anyone has ever seen, but if you lose in the 4th quarter all anyone cares about is the final score. Who gets the win.

And PS3 got the win.
