[QUOTE="magus-21"][QUOTE="Deihmos"][QUOTE="magus-21"][QUOTE="Sgt_Hale"][QUOTE="bkslayer"]This isnt false, and you know gamespot is slow with the news. The poster from the Neogaf forums has access to these numbers himself, and he makes a post like this every month.

But besides all of that, that is pretty bad for Sony. Hopefully March will be much much different, but it just doesnt seem it will be. Besides Oblivion (which Xbox already has) what other game do you guys think will sell systems in March? This is a deep hole Sony has to dig themselves out of.
Deihmos

Gamespot posted on the Canadian number just hours ago and as of that time the NA numbers still have not been published for February. Furthermore, no other gaming news site on the web has access to these numbers yet, but some forum poster does???? And this sounds believable to you why??? Plain and simple, NPD has not released any publications for NA for the month of Feb.... you can google and see for yourself. Sales may or may not be low... the point is that the post is not true and we have to wait for the REAL numbers to come out to know for sure.

You can't Google NPD numbers. NPD numbers have to come from secondhand sources unless you BUY them from NPD. And NPD released their numbers at 4pm.

I think they will get lower and lower especially since there is nothing spectacular coming out for a long while.

No, it'll go up in March, I think. Sony did have a small "comeback" at GDC, so I can see PS3 sales rising momentarily up to 150k to 170k. But dang, they need games NOW. The Wii can survive on WiiSports, Twilight Princess, and WarioWare, and the 360 just has a golden year ahead of it, but the PS3 needs something really big soon.

Why would it go up in March? Because of Oblivion or Amored Core? yea those are big system sellers even though one is a year old game and a new expansion is already coming to  Xbox Live.

The marketing is just beginning to get turned up for the PS3 and will continue to increase as new apps are released. The Sony brand is the system of choice for many gamers. As they know that more games are available, they'll be purchasing one. Plus, the word of mouth for the console has been increasingly positive. I expect to see the numbers continuing to rise.... most noticeably going into the fall.

if this keeps up, i think sony is really going to consider a price drop after this years holiday season. the numbers aren't so bad that the PS3 is failing, but it is definitely a concern. as long as the PS3 does good in Japan, we can hope Europe saves us from this mediocre month, and hopefully after we get some more games, things will pick up in N/A too. i hope games like Lair, Heavenly Sword, Oblivion, R6 Vegas, DMC4, Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank (possibily) killzone and whatever other big titles for 2007, as well as Home, help pickup sales in N/A for the rest of the year.

I don't understand how 360 fanboys, can complain about the Ps3s price? I mean factor in the 200 dollar, HD-DVD addon, and the 50 dollar Live Membership along with the Wireless Network access, and you would wonder who was getting ripped off.

The Ps3 has sold more units, in February then in January so why would they need to make a price drop?

[QUOTE="CaptainCrazy"]It's becoming quite clear that the PS3 is not going to be the runaway hit the PS2 was. Face it guys, no company has ever won the console wars 3 times in a row, if Nintendo couldn't do it, Sony couldn't either. This time it's going to be Xbox 360's time to shine. If Sony hopes of taking back the number one position next time they had better start designing the next system NOW and release it at the saem time as Xbox 360 2 or whatever they call it. MS's competition is too strong for Sony to be coming 1 year late into the game.UntoldDreams


There is nothing wrong with the PS3 hardware wise what are you talking about? The problem is price not feature set.

Why do they have to run out and design a PS4 **now** when its literally a few months after PS3 launch?
You... are being premature.


They've already started designing the PS4, UntoldDreams. It usually takes a full console cycle to get the next-gen right. And the problem is not just the price, because there's a $500 version out there that's still clearly superior to the 360 in every way, even to a layperson. It's the games, plain and simple. RFOM and Motorstorm are not well known outside the gaming community. One of Microsoft's talents is the ability to make games popular outside of the gaming community as well as within it. That's how Halo and Gears of War became so popular. And Nintendo? Nintendo's franchises are household names. Sony has never been successful at advertising its own games; hell, God of War only sold, what, 2-3 million? They chose *what* games to show off at E3? Genji 2 and Warhawk? And at TGS, they showed Afrika. Sony needs to do one of two things: get one of their dependable franchises out there NOW, or they have to popularize a new franchise the way MS has with Gears.

Those numbers are not that bad. The console is only 4 months old. Its going to be a bit before good enough software comes out to sell the system.

Most consoles go through this why would the PS3 be any different. I love some these idiots posting the doom and gloom of the PS3. These numbers dont mean jack right now.

People forget that the PS1, PS2, XBOX, XBOX 360, all had weak launches, and were not selling a million a month the first 2 months of launch. The PS3 is in no danger and people need to relax. Im not sure why the topic creator even posted these numbers because all its going to do is start a war, and invite trolls from the 360 boards.

Yea we get the point the PS3 isnt selling hot. tell us something we dont know.

Not to sound like a broken record, but those are all options. Put it this way: Americans LOVE "paying over time." They HATE lump-sum payments. That's why Americans are always in debt, and that's why the "more expensive" 360 looks cheaper to them. They can buy the 360 now, then pay for the rest later.

The system is too expensive it's that simple. No matter what games come. That is Sony's big problem. This feels like the PSP fiasco all over again. Remember that by the time Sony can drop the price Microsoft and Nintendo will be able to as well. Honestly the graphics in GeOW have shown that they really don't have to get much better than that so sticking with the 360 is not really that bad an option. I feel sorry for Sony. This is going to be tough sell for a game system.

EVERYONE STFU. Some say Sony is failing others say they aren't. The console wars are far from over stop declaring winners and losers it's way too early. As for the bad sales for the PS3 it's just this month, I'm sure the number will pick up for the March NDP numbers. BTW What were the sales for 360 this month last year?

The 50 dollars, for playing online isn't an option.. getting the HD-DVD addon to play games isn't an option.

Are you mental or something? WHat do you mean it is not an option? I don't want an HD DVD player so i did not buy it and I will never buy a movie. The $50 for Live is well worth it but I always pay around $30 on Ebay.

i tihnk the ps3 is cheapest system out of all in my opinion, not like cheapest out of like all systems in like price because obviously it's 600 dollars. but i mean in terms of "you pay for what you get" because i mean seriously, a blu-ray player with a state of the art 8 cell core processor, and built in hdmi port, this is not what you see everyday for 600 dollars, i mean seirously, the ps3 should be going for atleast 1,000 dollars in the united states but is instead selling for 400, i think people who say that it's expensive are microtendo wii60 fanboys that doesn't even care the price of the ps3 and are only saying that 'cuz they hate ps3 cuz their mommy said no. and besides, most people on xbox lives are like 12 year olds anyways, you guys saw that one video of that 12 year old kid screaming over xbox live over milk to his mom? lmfao roflolmfao

Let the 360 fanboys hang on to the little light at the end of the tunnel they have left lmfao, Phantom February sales numbers is what they come here beating their chests ove,r? Come on, can't you think of nything better to do with your 360 then troll the PS3 boards, I see the same names every day on this board, you know who u are, or are u guys tired of GeoW too. PS3 is 4 months old, it's best time is ahead of it. The next round of games and beyond will start to outclass the 360 offerings soon (Motorstorm already does). Blu ray owns HD-DVD. Playstation Home will be released in time for Christmas season, an awesome free service which puts Sony ahead of the curve further than anything offered by the competition. What's the opposite of Xbox Live?

How can anyone say the PS3 is going to fail 4 months after it's release?  Give me a break.  I had the 360 when it first came out and the games were not all that impressive.  I didn't really get into my 360 until Oblivion came out.  Just wait for some games to be released and this won't even be a topic any more.  It's rediculous.  The only people that complain about the PS3 are the ones who can't afford it.  Really, $200 more for the PS3 compared to the 360 isn't that bad.  Plus factor in the HD DVD and X-Box live and it comes close to being even.

I'm sure all of this has been said, but Holy Christ in Hell.  Give it some time.

Have you ever heard of a little racing game series called Gran Turismo ? Probably not , but I think a few gamers like racing games.

Is it coming out in March? If you read you will see I was responding to the guy saying it will be much better in March. And Shaft I cannot recall anyone saying Sony is failing. Even though I believe the Xbox will continuously outsell the PS3 for the rest of the year. There are just too many good stuff coming out.

I don't understand how 360 fanboys, can complain about the Ps3s price? I mean factor in the 200 dollar, HD-DVD addon, and the 50 dollar Live Membership along with the Wireless Network access, and you would wonder who was getting ripped off.

lol are you on something come on microsoft gives you a choice you dont have to buy the hd-dvd add on if you dont want too.for the ps3 you forced on blue-ray which i dont understand. also live if you look at it 50 a year lol thats only 4$ dollars a month but i guess 4$ dollars a month is too high for you right.

[QUOTE="mu5afir"][QUOTE="magus-21"][QUOTE="mu5afir"][QUOTE="spudsofpoo"][QUOTE="magus-21"] I mean....wow....just...good God...speechless... Full NPD numbers: Nintendo DS 485,000 Wii 335,000 PlayStation 2 295,000 Xbox 360 228,000 PlayStation Portable 176,000 Game Boy Advance 136,000 PlayStation 3 127,000 GameCube 24,000 Xbox 480 *Source: The NPD Group.



Its not all doom and glom, that there is a reason to smile for Sony loyalists. I think all Sony needs to do is drop the price any amount (obviously $1 won't impact anyone's decisions) and it will get more buyers. I own the machine and I have no qualms about buying it, and the rumble free controllers are superior to their predecessors. This is one note to all people who bash the graphics because they don't look some damn awesome out of the box: ANYONE remember 360's first games, they looked WORSE than a good number of Xbox games!

Not to sound like a broken record, but those are all options. Put it this way: Americans LOVE "paying over time." They HATE lump-sum payments. That's why Americans are always in debt, and that's why the "more expensive" 360 looks cheaper to them. They can buy the 360 now, then pay for the rest later.

The 50 dollars, for playing online isn't an option.. getting the HD-DVD addon to play games isn't an option.

They don't need HD-DVD to play games because the addon is just for movies and yes playing online is an option. anyways System wars is over there ---->

Oh my lord, this isthe first hard proof we've seen that confirms our suspicions that PS3 is just not selling. Jees, way to go Sony, only you could take the most successful brand in the gaming industry and flush it down the toilet. Thanks for just giving up your only profitable business to MS.CaptainCrazy

This whole thread is basically saying the PS3 is failing.  That was the purpose of the original post.

Look at the features PSP 1.00 came with compared to today's iteration. It's much much better now. The PS3 will be constantly updated as well and will be going online with new features and services. Hell, next week you'll be able to access your PS3 from any wi-fi hotspot with your PSP after firmware 1.6 is dropped in time for the Euro launch. As for games, tell me Heavenly Sword, Lair, MGS4, Gran Turismo 5, Killzone 2, Socom next gen, Warhawk, Motorstorm, Resistance (they're already planning resistance 2 and motorstorm 2), tell me these games won't move systems.

[QUOTE="mu5afir"][QUOTE="rahzel54"]if this keeps up, i think sony is really going to consider a price drop after this years holiday season. the numbers aren't so bad that the PS3 is failing, but it is definitely a concern. as long as the PS3 does good in Japan, we can hope Europe saves us from this mediocre month, and hopefully after we get some more games, things will pick up in N/A too. i hope games like Lair, Heavenly Sword, Oblivion, R6 Vegas, DMC4, Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank (possibily) killzone and whatever other big titles for 2007, as well as Home, help pickup sales in N/A for the rest of the year.

The Ps3 has sold more units, in February then in January so why would they need to make a price drop?

no they didn't... look again. they sold well over 200,000 in january but only 127,000 in february.

You guys are stupid. This is not true. I mean look at the link he gave us the link to another forum on another website. I could have post this on a website and went to gamespot and said o my god look guys sonys not doing well. Well If you add up all the totals for the companies all together sony has 598,000 nintendo has sold 980,000 and microsoft is not even on the map with only 228480. So I think sony is doing just fine as a company. We all know that nintendo want hold this lead for long. But i dont fine this source to be worth writing anymore info on so peace out!

I don't know about some people, but I'm standing in the line for the system with the next gen optical drive built in so I can enjoy hi-def movies on my hi-def television now and in the future, as well as the benefits of current and future games which will utilize more of the potential the blu-ray format has. Imagine the depth and detail of a 50 gig MGS4 game, or Gran Turismo, Socom next gen at 50 gig of code would own. Don't be afraid of newer and better technology peoples

what have we learned today kids? the best cosole to buy right now is the ps2, it is 100$, has the biggest library ever, plays dvds and has game releases 7 years after it's launch i said it before, the ps3 should be launched at the end of 2007, with much better hardware than the 360(not marginaly like now) some cool launch games and a greater installed base of people with hdtvs (ps3's target audience) but what do i know, i'm just a gamer... 600$ is cheap for a blu-ray player not for a gaming console, i can get almost the same for half of that! but the ps3 will win eventualy, people will buy more hdtvs and will want to play hd-movies on them and those hd-movies will be in blu-ray and the cheapest blu-ray player is the ps3, sony wins again and the ps4 is launched and people start to bash it again....

Look on the homepage you will see it posted there. G-Legend the PS2 was coming from a very sucessful PS1 and did not have the slow start that you claim. By the end of 2000 the Ps2 sold 6 million consoles.

people aren't worried about the technology. i think most people can agree that the ps3 is a great machine. the price is the biggest reason why its not selling as well as it could. just think how many kids that are out there that can't afford a PS3. or how many casual gamers there are out there that just want whats "fun" so will go with a cheaper alternative. price aside, theres no doubt the ps3 is AT LEAST as good as the other 2 systems, but i think the price is just too high to sell like hot cakes. again, these numbers aren't so bad that the ps3 is failing, but the numbers are definitely not good. if this keeps up, i really think sony should take a gamble as they will lose money, but lower the price to get a larger userbase. it will pay off in the end. i hope im not coming out as a ps3 hater, because anyone who visits these boards regularly, knows that im a ps supporter. but if this keeps up, i think a price drop will really help sales.

[QUOTE="G-Legend"]Are these worldwide sales? Or just NA?magus-21
Just NA. NPD numbers. I can try to find the Japanese sales. They report weekly. EDIT: Yeah, not much better: Japanese sales February 2007 NDS - 586,000 Wii - 279,000 PSP - 233,000 PS3 - 107,000 PS2 - 63,000 360 - 18,000 GBA - 7,300 GCN - 1,400

You are telling me that in Japan 107,000 unites were sold and worldwide 127,000 = 27,000 in the US............I call BS on those numbers.....

Who the hell cares how many sell? Does this mean that there'll be less games? No. Is Sony just gonna give up and say "Sorry guys, you're screwed"? No. The PS2 got lots of bad hype and we all know what happened. Because of the price, I doubt the PS3 will ever sell more than 110M+ units like the PS2, but I'm sure it will go far.

PS3 hasn't had time to see the Software really start to roll in. Of course, all this will change with march. March will be very positive for the PS3 and PS3 owners.
