so i was on vgchartz and i read this 

"Total sales across the Americas should come in at around 170,000 this week - up 90% on last week and around 70% more than PS3." 

so a bunch of people were saying that it sold 100k, but uhm. im not math genius but isnt 70% of 170 000, 119 000?    

did i do my math wrong?

im kinda shocked at the ps3 increase i didnt expect holiday boost to effect sales until a week from now

*/*/* EDIT *\*\* nvm i did do my math wrong :( i read the 70% thing wronggg */*/* EDIT *\*\*

nice

The 250GB ps3 was released last week.

No, the XBox360 sold 70% MORE than the PS3. The PS3 didn't sell 70% of XBox360 sales.

170k / 1.7 = 100k.

PS3 sold 100k = 41% less than the XBox360 = 59% of XBox360 sales.

EDITED FOR CORRECTIONS.

100k actually.

100,000 * 0.7 + 100,000 = 170,000

ok so the 360 did 170 in US this week. is it because of the the walmart deal, or mw2?

@killuminiti
wal-mart deal was about 90k of the 170k.

so its at around 100k, so no mw2 effect, why ps3 increase, holiday season?

ioi said: Yes you did your math wrong

ROTFL - this had me laughing at least 4-5 minutes.

So new 250Gb PS3 model at 349$, which was relesed on Nov 3rd had totally no effect on PS3 sales in NA?
