Forums - Sales - It's official PS3 Sells 440K in America BF week!

Tridrakious on 02 December 2009

I'm going to say that U.S. had 440k sold on Black Friday. 500k for the week. I think the PS3 on the worldwide scale will be over 800k. Maybe even 900k. Which would be the best the PS3 has done in it's lifetime.

Very likely, next year. Well, it will be a $50 cut probably.

Also, 360 still stands a good chance of defeating PS3 in November as is. We dont have hard numbers for 360 on BF (likely significantly less than PS3), but 360 gained a lot early in the month with the $100 GC deals and the MW2 bundle.

So likily. . . that instead of just chopping 100USD off the sticker price world wide microsoft stuck with one american retailer walmart and gave away 100USD wal mart GC's. A stop gap as PS3 was outselling it marginally in USA in the lead up to november and significatly worldwide.

Huh? Microsoft had nothing to do with what Wal Mart did. Stop with that crap.

 

Microsoft wont chop $100 off, they will chop $50 off, NEXT year. And when they do, they'll be outselling PS3 again just as before. There's no way I see the Arcade going to $99, it's too early for that. PS2 took forever to get to $99.

 

PS3 might not even outsell 360 in the USA for 3 months, despite a massive redesign and now $300 in price cuts since it launched. See, there's different ways to look at things.

 

I know the PS3 fans want to kick the 360 and say it can never recover, forgetting that PS3 took it's lumps throught 2008-2009 and survived. The 360 will do the same. In fall 2008 PS3 didn't have a price cut while 360 did, and in 2009 360 didn't while PS3 did, hence the sales swings are nothing surprising. This is just Microsoft taking some lump while they wait for big moves next year (Natal, Reach, price, probably 360 slim, etc) the same as PS3 did last year. The difference is, Xbox is very profitable right now while PS3 has bled money constantly.

Didn't the 360 get a price cut this year too, and how do you know that the xbox division is very profitable?

Congrats to the PS3 ! Doom and Gloom is on the 360 side now, with even MS PR refusing to comment their bad numbers.

Next stop for the 360 : the last place (after FF13 Japan, GT5 and God of War 3), where it belongs.

At about 476k USA sales of PS3 are pretty much at parity for world wide sales of Xbox 360 this week. Redesgins and price cuts do seem to be working even agaisnt the slightly cheaper Xbox360
