Okay.....according to vgc numbers....Wii has beat ps2's record for most consoles sold in one week...by about 40k.

champagne anyone ;) ?


Ah. I was wondering about that. Couldn't remember the record but remember thinking it was going to go last year, only for the Wii to be supply-constrained. Wonder if there are many records left for the Wii to break? A good achievement though anyway.

ANDY MURRAY:- GRAND SLAM WINNER!

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

Awesome sales all around but especially for Wii and DS.

Great sales worldwide for PS3 but as i mentioned before the gap in US between 360 and PS3 is increasing and in UK it is the same. What will be interesting to see is how sales look in a month or so when numbers have gone back to being normal and the FF13 effect in Japan dies down. It will be good to see if the PS3 sales in Japan can stay consistently higher then last years sales.

The sad part is big sales are over again for another year :(

Yeah the 360 is really taking NA and the UK by the scruff of the neck and PS3 sales will probably be down to 10K in Japan in no time at all. I'm sure Sony will be worried about 360 taking NA and UK and that too so significantly, none of the other countries matter after all since they pay with those delicious chocolate coins.

I find that this site is much much better with hardware in comparison to software. Usually quite close so must commend ioi for that........goodness those software sales though. :/

Well they do care about all those countries, every sale helps each of the manafacturers.

However US and UK are two biggest games markets on the planet currently. To put that into some context Japan only sold 3k more Wii's for the whole year then UK. Sony have spent a fortune trying to get the PS3 selling above the 360 here and it has not worked. I don't live in US so can't tell you what it's advertising campaign has been like there over xmas but here it is everywhere. Every couple of hours your see an advert for a PS3 game. Where as the only MS advert that seems to be on is one about a bundle at Argos.

So while the other countries matter they don't matter as much as US and UK do in terms of game sales. It is like an election. Some states hold more points then others. Does not mean those in the lesser ones are not important just means your get less votes there. Capiche?

If you base that "scruff of the neck" statement on just this ONE week, then yeah.

The gap between PS3 and x360 in NA had been rather small previous weeks.

None the less that is an outstanding NA result for the x360 - if you take the wii's mad sales out of the equation.

PS3 well over 900k is very good.

PS: Lol. Nice one about the chocolate coins. Those chocolate coins are the most valuable currency in the world.

Yea, no worries of the 360 is doing better than ps3 in NA, both systems r doing very well, the 360 is just more popular. If I had a choice of the 360 vs ps3 debate but only in na, id take the 360 just bcus of the fan base and popularity of its games over xbox live.

Overall, it was still a gr8 year for all 3 systems, the ps3 did very well in the last stretch and still managed to do 900k+. the ps3 will definitly have a better 2010, just feelin it.

Im just glad my predictions I made last year so very acurate, the hd consoles will head in next year with big momentum, not sure how the wii will stack up to the big competition but it will be tough.

my 65 mil wii, 35 mil 360, and 30 mil ps3 preiction was right about on the money, not sure about next year but the ps3 may be able to overtake the 360 the 2010 holidays if not it will get pretty close.

 



Above I'm a proud Gran Turismo fan, not a Sony fanboy, and now a proud 360 owner, but sharing xbox live accts ATM

End of 2009 Predictions (made Jan 1, 2009): My predictions were pretty accurate, the 360 was over and the Wii was just under.

Wii: 65 mil (yea I'm crazy) 360: 35 mil (its getting there) PS3: 30 mil (the slim better do well)

End of 2010 Predictions (made Jan 7, 2010):

Wii: 81 mil  360: 47 mil PS3: 45 mil

DS and Wii are godly as always.

Xbox 360 is doing good considering reasonable finances.

PSP isn't selling any software so is dead as a gaming platform.

PS3 will have to wait, performance = miserable if losses for the financial year = 1.5B or more. Performance = excellent if losses for financial year are 0.5B or less.



Tease.

Do you live in the UK?

Please don't spread false info. If that argos ad is the only x360 ad you see then fair enough but it is incorrect.

If you are talking about adverts relating to bargains (good deals) then yes, there is the argos one. Where is the PS3 bargain ad?

x360 ads far exceed those of the PS3. I wish there was a site where you can find out this information. I will look it up.

Before I typed this the GTA x360 ad was just on. Honest.

Also MW2 is all x360 and that was on all the way up to christmas.

Today I also saw the stream movies and watch sky on x360 ad.

Yes, there is argos ad.

There, 4 x360 ads that curently dominate UK TV - that I can recall.

Right up to christmas you could have got 3 x360 ads in one ad break.

PS3 ads are U2, AC2 (not seen in a while), and the general PS3 ad.

How do I know? There is a huge LCD TV in my office that is usually on. You can't miss them. I honestly don't watch that much TV.

@Light Blue- I wouldn't say godly, more like very, very good with some possible overtracked numbers, just sayin'... its happend before mainly with ninty systems round' here...

@Neon Green- I agree, instead i'd say the 360 is doing damn fine considering the PS3's so called Lightning that is FFXIII japan while the Slim PS3 was the Thunder which did only as expected.

@Neon Red- Now THATS just uncalled for Squid, i play my PSP alot and continue to support it by buying atleast 1 to 3 games each month, im sure others who really love PSP do the same.

@Black & Neon Red- I agree, however you seem to needless take everything about the PS3 apart into every little detail, even if you are right THIS time.
