Obviously a console being just shy of 2million sales in 1 week is of absolutely no importance whatsoever...

Before, the gap was 5.7 million. Now its 5.56 million.

I think having the PS3 selling more than the XBOX 360 for an extended period (3 months) when it is more expensive than the 360 is telling of it's market position going into 2010.

I mean think about the potential for both consoles right now, the exclusive system sellers for each console in the first half are clearly in the PS3's favour in terms of selling systems. Also Gem, system seller or not or will be out long before Natal. The 360 will have a slow year until Q3. The PS3 will have another good year, at least as good as 2009 before it begins it's decline.

This is the largest the Wii will be, we've just seen it's absolute sales peak, what'll be more important for Nintendo going forward now is how to prolong the life of the console so that they can enter the next generation when they feel it's the right time, and not be forced into it prematurely. Moving upmarket (MotionPlus titles, Retro Studio I.P, Metroid, Zelda, DQX etc) and also the Vitality Sensor will be very important in keeping Wii dominant.


It's been a strange generation.. 2nd year peaks for market leaders, 4th year peaks for other consoles (consoles which are very competitive historically speaking)

So the PS3 selling very well is more significant than the Wii selling more in one week (barring adjustments) than any home console ever.  Interesting perspective.

oh my ronster isn't getting a christmas present from you is he

WOW @ PS3 SALES

the real story here is a 3rd place console selling over 900K for 2 WEEKS STRAIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!

But the UnReal story is the nintendo DS!!!!!

Wii did very well, 360 did very well, PSP did poor

Mario is doing amazing

FF13 is rocking japan!!!!!

Welcome back! The GAP IS NOW 5.6 MILLION

YAY We'r ALMOST BACK TO  SQUARE 1.....lol

but well done PS3 for reducing the gap from what 8 million 3 months ago!

I'm shocked you didn't challenge my "PSP - poor comment", it was aimed to make you retaliate!

Well it's doing poorly compared to last year, The PSP needs a reboot badly.

PSP needs nothing now, its following the pattern of a system thats basically old now. Darth & sony need a PSP 2 with FF Agito XIII at launch!

that was not how I feel but rather an observation I had.

if you read through all threads about how PS3 sold 1 mil last week and how much it sold this week, you'll notice that people are making a very big deal on the sales for PS3 now. However, it's just another week for Wii whenever it's brought up how well Wii is doing.
