360 numbers are suprisingly high, i guess the low price point will work wonders for them during he main periods.

i still stick to my orig prediction that 360 may edge the ps3 in xmas sales due to the arcade.

thats what cost sony the most this gen, they was always to high priced.

 

Higher price while being equivalent as far as gaming use.

That was the killer.





Current-gen game collection uploaded on the profile, full of win and good games; also most of my PC games. Lucasfilm Games/LucasArts 1982-2008 (Requiescat In Pace).

^^agreed. But i still predict ps3 will dominate 360 in xmas



Amazing week for Wii, wow. I'm liking the PS3 sales too.

PSP is healthy in Others & Japan, but really could use a boost in NA...

Overall I am pleased =)

hmmm... People prediciting the PS3 would "demolish" the 360 over December are goign to be disappoinnted.

Pretty much as expected otherwise.


Yeah, last year the 360 outsold PS3 by 160k. Now the PS3 outsold 360 by only 74k with its new slim model. But I guess those same people wont talk about that.

People also wont talk about how this week there was a 75k boost due to the walmart sale and COD LE Bundle. And im SURE people wont talk about the fact last year it was a $400 PS3 vs a $200 360 and this year its a $300 PS3 vs a $200 360 and it still swung 234k despite the price difference.

But what do i know.

Ok, you added some details, but you do know that you are leaving a lot out as well.  If we wanted to we could mention the PS3 bundles and the different exclusives released last year vs. this year for each respective system.  We could also mention that last year it was a $400/500 PS3 vs a $200/300/400 360 that had a fairly fresh price cut.  This year its a freshly cut $300/400 PS3 vs a $200/300 360.  Also who knows how the Wii price cut is affecting the sales of both HD systems.  And the Walmart deal was, if I'm not mistaken, only in place for one day of this sales period and it was pretty much sold out by then.

We could go on and on and on and on and still get nowhere.  But I think Squilliam hit the nail on the head when he stated that, despite all of these numbers, its all about who is profitable in the end and that is where Sony sits squarely in 3rd place and currently unprofitable.  That has to change.

Nothing us written for sales, I mean, today apple can come with machine that sells 70m in day one and make nimtendo, sony and ms all perish, so wiii hasn't won yet, and ps3 hadn't outsold 360
yet...



I'm very impressed by DS.
I'm impressed by Wii too, but if somebody didn't predict an Armageddon or sort of during NSMBW launch week, I'd be even more.
And next Thursday we'll finally have the data of the week including Black Friday, let's hope Dubai's crisis doesn't damage it.
About PS2, I'm curious about what could happen if Sony manages to keep it alive long enough to meet Indian and Chinese middle classes buying power.

What I notice this gen is that ppl will alway come up with new excuses why the x company is still doing bad for e.g

2006- PS3 has no games

then games started comming...

2007-PS3 is doomed due to low sales and blu ray is doomed

blu ray still selling....

2008-ps3 is doomed due to low sales

then PS3 sales has gotten a lot better....

2009-PS3 still not profitable = doomed

2010-PS3 not gaining enough profit???



PS3 will overtake 360 in worldwide sales next month , but lose in the US
