I also think that Wii's results are the most important of this week.
The PS3 outselling the 360 is the new "common knowledge" of the previous weeks, and the other one was that "Wii won't reach 50% against the HD combined".

The latter seems to be turning around, and that's a significant accomplishment.

I don't think generalmld is going to be too happy with this.

@ Alterego-X: PS3 outselling 360, you mean. Plus, once the holidays are over, things should be back to Wii and HD having rather equal sales like before.

Everyone expected the DS and Wii to sell like crazy,but I had not the slightest ideea that the PS3 will outsell 360 on Black Friday,so for me thats the most unexpected thing to happen,not the DS and Wii numbers...but maybe its just me


I did not say that discussing the fact that PS3 outsold the Xbox360 was not worth the discussion. I personnaly think this is quite a feat and undoubtely a fact, given the difference is outside the margin of error.

But behind the tree there are 2 huge ones named DS and Wii, that should, IMO,  be discussed in this very topic.

Wii for example received its fair share of doom & gloom predictions until price cut/NSMB:Wii. Fact is Wii is back to "business as usual" since a few week and these sales put it the same level as last year. 

It's pointless to continuously comment on a race that is clearly over.  The DS and Wii won sales in this generation.  Everyone talks about the PS3 and 360 because the race is still relevant.  It's also an unusual sales situation with the Wii because its sales dominance has not translated into proper third party support.  If either the PS3 or 360 had the Wii's sales advantage, third parties would flock to the platform leaving the loser behind. 



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

Hm my predictions were:

520,000 vg$ 75 0 0%
670,000 vg$ 75 0 0%
371,000 vg$ 75 0 0%
399,000 vg$ 100 0 0%
179,000 vg$ 100 0 0%

Ps3 almost 100% right!

I underestimated Ds and Wii much...

Expected Xbox 360 more..



 

 

Take my love, take my land..

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.

Sarcastic, rude, and unfriendly comments my friend. Please be somewhat mature in the forums, for everyones sake.

I'm sorry if I came of as sarcastic and rude, that wasn't my intent. I have just found it puzzling that since the slim launch, anytime the PS3 outsells the 360 by a small amount, or outsells the wii in Japan by an even smaller amount it deserves a thread all about it. The PS3 outsold the wii in Japan by 10,000 units or so a few weeks ago and some of PS3 fans went nuts about it.

Also, no one in this thread has discussed why the PS3 did so well this week when it's pretty clear that Sony put together an incredible value for their customers. That is great for the consumer but not very good for Sony's bottom line. Their business model has been to sell hardware at a loss and recoup the loss and generate a profit with the sale of software. For alot of the new PS3 owners, who picked up the bundle, they probably won't be picking up very much software for a while.

Red - In america. Where the 360 has always had the upper hand... It's surprising to see PS3 > 360, no matter what happens. WW, despite 360 getting the $100 card thing and a whole bunch of MW2 advertising/bundles... PS3 still outsold it WW.

Blue - It's outsold the Wii in Japan since the slim/cut. Despite the Wii getting a pricecut too. On NSMB Wii week, expect the same thing from Ninty fans "Wii > PS3 again!" etc...

That is why these threads get made.
