Funny how the wii outsells the PS3 by 400,000 units but it's a big deal that the PS3 outsold the 360 by 60,000.

On top of that Sony took a massive loss giving away 2 games with most of the PS3s sold. I thought they were supposed to make up the loss on the hardware by making money on the software. Hard to make money when you're giving it away for free.

I know, this looks a bit funny (the whole Wii thing), but really. When you're talking about the HD twins' sales, screw the Wii sales. They are selling consoles to a whole other segment. There's no point in comparing the Wii against the HD consoles. The Wii sells to gamers, a lot of women, old people, young people, etc etc. The HD Twins are more for gamers ONLY (not only, but kinda only)...

That's why, in my opinion, Wii sales are not important when talking HD consoles numbers.

You could say the same thing about PS2 vs GC/Xbox.

So estimation from CGC America for the BF week :

Wii = 800k
Ps3 = 400k
360 = 325k

Now Japan could be :

Wii = 35k
PS3= 35k
360 = 4k

And Europe (considering VGC as usual undertracked strongly Europe market for the ps3)

Wii= 400k
PS3= 250k
360= 150k

(AC2 releases with lot of adds for the ps3, end of effect of 360 pack MW2)

Total :

Wii = 1235 k
ps3 = 685 k
360 = 480 k

As expected, with that huge rush for the BF bundles and all...

lol i remeber last year people claiming ps3 is doomed, they also said the world rejects ps3 whilst 360 is the new ps2 lmao.

tell you what them ppl must be real pissed now.

me on the otherhand im glad all consoles are doing well, could have been more had it not been for credit crunch.
