I feel like having an opinion or discussion on a forum can get you in serious trouble..

My argument was that despite having such a jaw dropping game line up, and such a stellar advertising campaign, and the value that the console offers, it STILL fell under its competitors.

That was my argument.. and then you throw the "it doesn't matter its the U.S only, or your a fanboy, because you are ranting on about this" card.. and it just gets me pissed..

Last year with LBP, Resistance 2

 

Playstation 2 206k
Playstation 3 378k
PSP 421k
Xbox 360 836k
Wii 2.04M
DS 1.57M

 

Can you please stop,you are the only one losing sleep over this.


It is sooooo awesome that the Xbox360 kept the level of sales.

Last year, this was 2 months after the price cut to $199 / $250 / $300. Now there isn't a $250 model anymore and the prices are the still the same for the other models. Keeping this level is an achievement. That is something the PS3 still has to do. Do you think the PS3 would have the same sales next year, especially with a probably price cut of the Xbox360 and the Natal launch in November?

 

OPEN you eyes man,

you forget Elite price drop + Walmart november price drop + MW2 exclusive bundle + 199$ entry price

I heop you understand there is nothing to be proud ...

But replace He, with America... and You with PS3.

All that value you think you see... most people don't... cause it's not there for most people.

Epic fail for Brett's numbers

VG numbers are just for reference only

Xbox 360 still the better console in US

Then why you are still here ?

Great and unexpected numbers for the 360. PS3 did very well (thanks to Black Friday)

Slightly dissapointed at Forza 3....

I think the fact that the consumer spent more money on the Xbox360 than on the PS3 and even the Wii is something to be proud of.

Walmart November price drop was for less than a week. And it was not a real price-drop, it came with a giftcard.
The $199 entry price stayed the same for the year. It is about keeping the sales high at one pricepoint for a year and MS did this very well.
And the MW2 bundle is even $399. So people saw value in it.

I really think some people feel like MS has to apologise for their success.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

no, it is not apologize

it is just that people are comparing to last year and make some : "wow, pretty good"

while the only reason of this succeed are the MW bundle exclusive and the wallmart offer.
Also, it was not 1 week, it was 1 week on 1 month of 4 weeks .... pretty huge indeed because it add the 100k sales that make it outsold the PS3

as for the PS3, it is not a "free" success but people act like if MS get this success passively ...

even IF this is only because of walmart and MW2 bundle (as if there were no other consoles sold...) what is so bad about it? MS made the right moves to get the Xbox360 bundle and obviously Walmart made the right choice to offer this bundle with the Xbox360. That is the reason why there will be another elite-deal in december.

You can't spin this. Selling the same number of consoles without big price-drops for more than a year is awesome.

Don't know if you guys realized this but...

           Black Friday Week    NPD Nov         Nov  - BF Week

Wii              550k                   1260k                710k

PS3             440k                   710k                  270k

DS              ~1000k               1700k                700k

 

BF week figures are from Nintendo and Sony statements.

 

Nov = 4 weeks

Ergo:

PS3 sold ~90k in Nov in non-Black Friday weeks

DS sold ~ 233.3k in Nov in non-Black Friday weeks

Wii sold ~ 236.7 in Nov in non-Black Friday weeks

 

 

source I don't get this

so PS3 sold 30K a week apart from that week

Wii sold around 80K a week

I'm confused



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey
