SONYÂ has sold 1 million ps3 units in 2006.

When you come out of your self-induced coma to these facts, maybe you'll realize reality. If they're doing soooo well, why are they being returned?

So sit there and ramble on about your precious reports, look naive and blindly biased. Look foolish for all I care. Thanks though, because it makes for a rather good laugh.

I guess sony never sold 90 million right? Everyone owned an xbox and gamecube. Ohhh and dreamcast really did sell well. Those stats that said otherwise were all false. Sony just paid all those stat reporters to make it look like the PS2 was selling well and actually paid sega to stop making their console! Those reports of sega losing a ton of money and selling very small units were all lies. As a matter of fact the ps2 and the ps1 did very poorly in sales.(just look at the ps2 now! It's not being sold out in stores at all!) Don't forget that 360 and wii. I've seen 20 wii's at my loblaws which indicates that the wii is doing horribly in sales. Oh and since the 360 sold out when it first launched until march we all know that a whole ton of units were sold and it was in constant demand. those NPD charts and all other reports are paid by sony to make them look like sales are in their favor when really the PS1, PS2, and PS3 have been selling poorly the whole time. I know this because in my school all the people I hang out with have an xbox. It clearly shows that playstation products have never sold and stats are always paid for by sony*end sarcasm* Really you're a funny guy.
not another one of these...*lord help me and the other users on this board from topics like these, amen*...navigataAMEN BROTHA'!!!
i know my local best buy has close to a hundred in stock and have sold like 15 since x-mas and every shipment of Wii's sellout within ours. The demand is by higher for the wii's than the PS3 at this time. I think the die hards have got the PS3 and the casual gamers are looking else where b/c of the ps3 cosetim_atlis your life that lame that you check BB everyday? or are you just making up BS?

Note the OUT OF STOCK and the NOT AVAILABLE FOR STORE PICKUP
Wow, you are dumb. Its a FACT that there are more Wiis in households than PS3s. And for PS3s to be sitting on shelves not long after THEY WERE JUST RELEASED is a testament to its popularity only the most moronic people like yourself can't fathom due to low intelligence. 360s have been out for over a year, so there is not a huge demand for them like there was when they first came out, so your stupid little comparison is beyond lame and invalid.
Oh, and another thing, genius...those numbers do NOT reflect returns (which I have seen many!) or people buying them for resale (which I have also seen many). Go outside, fanboy, and take a good whiff of reality. That is, if you can stop hugging and kissing your overpriced PS3 long enough.

Show me one place where I have exaggerated like YOU HAVE! If you want to post facts. Fine. But don't come around here using to selected info and blow them out of proportion in order to support your little anti-Sony rant. Next... The Wii is selling. Why? Do you think it has to do with the fact it has great on-line? Nope. Does it have HD games? Nope. Maybe it has something to do with the price? Ya think? Now, no one is debating that the Wii is not selling. But to compare the Wii to the PS3 is dumb. Those are totally difference consoles. And stop pretending that the Will is selling like crazy and the PS3 is selling zero. That's what you trying to make it sound like. The Wii would NOT be selling like it is if the price was $400, much less $600. The fact of the matter is that Wii HAS to be priced at $250 in order to sell. The Wii is what I call an "also-own" console. Which means that those that get a Wii will also get another console. Think about it. What's the likelihood that the Wii is the ONLY console you will buy over the next 4-5 years? Not much. Why do think Bill Boy Gates pushed his Wii60 propaganda before the PS3 launch? Well, ,guess what? That plan will backfire on Gates when the Wii passes up the 360 by Xmas 2007. Next is your statement about the 360 being out for a year and the demand is not that high. Hmmmm, so what you are saying is that the demand is higher for the PS3 than the 360 even though the PS3 is $600, has few games, unfinished on-line, and oh, according to you is "not selling?" Hey, I thought the 360 was sooo great that it should be outselling the PS3, right? What's the problem? In context, the Wii is selling great because of the price and fun factor NOW. The PS3s are selling WELL......And this is considering that it's $600, has few games, and has unfinished on-line. And if this was not the case, the the PS3 would not be 8th in sales on VG on amazon.com.

People have already bought them? What? You mean the 10 million people? Is that all you got? But what about the 100 Million PS2 gamers around the world that are waiting to buy a console? What about them? What are they waiting for? I thought the 360 was supposed to sooooooooo great! What's taking them so long? Hmmm, maybe they are waiting for more games to come out for the PS3 and aren't buying into the doom-and-gloom stories like you push around. You better get on the phone with your buddy Gates and tell him that "people have already bought them (360)." I'm sure he'll be happy to hear that. Instead of pointing at the PS3 sales. You better worry about the 360's.
there selling fine right now. when more and even better games come out then they will be on fire and surpass the wiiShadowBass989as well as the 360

Not in NA and definitely not at the current price point. Consumers here will wait for a price cut no matter what games are available, especially parents who will have to buy them for the kids.
Sales do not determine a product's quality. Sales are a reflection of the demand for the product. Demand may be created by the quality of a product, but innovation, accessibility and PRICE have a lot to do with demand. Essentially, everyone claiming that the Wii and XBOX360 are better than the PS3 because they are selling more need to stop making fools of themselves. If a Wii is better than a PS3 because more people own it, does that make a Honda Civic better than a Ferrari, because more people own the vehicle? I bought a PS3 for the quality of the system and the potential of future games coming in 2007 and 2008. I was able to look past its price and come to the conclusion that the system was worth buying.
The important thing to remember is whether or not the PS3 is the best selling system, is that in the end the only opinion that really matters is yours when it comes to your decision to buy the PS3. Personally, I am very satisfied with my decision to buy a Playstation 3 because I love Resistance: Fall of Man, enjoy the free online gaming, have had a lot of fun with my friends playing flOw and other games purchased off the Playstation Store, and I am really looking forward to Motorstorm, Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy XIII just to name a few. The PS3 has sold enough units to keep on its feet through the beginning and it will be around for a long time still supplying me with the games I love to play. Do I care if the Wii and XBOX360 are selling more units, if even by the smallest amounts? NO. Not if I'm having fun with the decision I made. People need to stop over-analyzing sales figures and just enjoy their damn new consoles!
[QUOTE="onemic"][QUOTE="Ace513"][QUOTE="onemic"][QUOTE="Ace513"][QUOTE="onemic"][QUOTE="Ace513"]No they arent.Ace513I think you are mistaken. Yes they are. Check the NPD numbers. This has been discussed and concluded a ton of times of these boards. People really gotta stop making these repetitive posts. I work at BB and in my store we have like 60 and they are all collecting dust and same story with and other bb in the district and the gamestops and ebs. So in my experience they arent. Besides if they were they would of surpassed the wiis numbers since those are impossible to find. Once again I said look at the NPD release. sony is shipping way more units than the wii right now and that's why it's in stock. WOuld you rather it be out of stock so you could say that it isn't selling because they aren't shipping anything? Well even before they did "all of these shipments" (we have only gotten like 2 medium sized ones) they werent selling well for us. We got 20 ps3s the day before xmas eve and didnt sell out till late next week and we had a big sign saying we were in stock. Well that's your store then. Where is your store even located in the first place? CT so no not in omish country. thats bullsh*t because i live in hartford Ct and i tried getting a ps3 ever since it came out. i went to the stores everyday ( well not me my mom) and everyday they said no or they had some but they ran out. until one day i was lucky enough to go get one because they had some in stock.
Sony fanboy = bias close-mindedness. And you can accuse me of exaggeration, but unless you're going to be a hypocrite like you are now, show me where I have exaggerated. And posting FACT (PS3s are NOT selling well, Wiis are out-selling them) are only exaggerations to obsessed fanboys like you who cannot listen to reason nor accept the fact that the PS3 is not selling like it should.First of all. It's no secret that I'm a Sony fanboy. Yeah, and? But please. Show me one place where I have exaggerated like YOU HAVE! If you want to post facts. Fine. But don't come around here using to selected info and blow them out of proportion in order to support your little anti-Sony rant.
So now you can predict the future or see alternate realities? You are delusional. Huffing too much exhaust from your overheating PS3? By your same limited rationale, why do you think the PS3 is NOT selling? Could it be price?? DUH!! Who in the world would spend over half a grand for a Blu-Ray device with a video game system attached to it. And to compare them is fine. They both play video games. They both are capable of different multimedia. They both connect to the internet. Only you who does not want to face reality would say they cannot compare. Yeah, one doesn't cater to the graphics-obsessed limited thinking kids who only want stuff shiny and explody and thus isn't an overpriced computer that will have outdated specs in no time, but its CHEAPER and has far more potential.The Wii is selling. Why? Do you think it has to do with the fact it has great on-line? Nope. Does it have HD games? Nope. Maybe it has something to do with the price? Ya think? Now, no one is debating that the Wii is not selling. But to compare the Wii to the PS3 is dumb. Those are totally difference consoles. And stop pretending that the Will is selling like crazy and the PS3 is selling zero. That's what you trying to make it sound like. The Wii would NOT be selling like it is if the price was $400, much less $600. The fact of the matter is that Wii HAS to be priced at $250 in order to sell. The Wii is what I call an "also-own" console. Which means that those that get a Wii will also get another console. Think about it. What's the likelihood that the Wii is the ONLY console you will buy over the next 4-5 years? Not much. Why do think Bill Boy Gates pushed his Wii60 propaganda before the PS3 launch? Well, ,guess what? That plan will backfire on Gates when the Wii passes up the 360 by Xmas 2007.
Considering I sell more 360s than PS3s, it isn't a hard assumption to know they are outselling PS3s in certain markets. I've had people bring back PS3s because they were disappointed, and turn around and buy a 360. Your logic is faulty anyway. The PS3s WERE selling well. That's because people didn't know just how little $600 got them and also the sellers who planned on buying them and resellling them for double or triple got their hands on them. And man, does your Amazon.com reference just blow my case out of the water. LOL.Next is your statement about the 360 being out for a year and the demand is not that high. Hmmmm, so what you are saying is that the demand is higher for the PS3 than the 360 even though the PS3 is $600, has few games, unfinished on-line, and oh, according to you is "not selling?" Hey, I thought the 360 was sooo great that it should be outselling the PS3, right? What's the problem? In context, the Wii is selling great because of the price and fun factor NOW. The PS3s are selling WELL......And this is considering that it's $600, has few games, and has unfinished on-line. And if this was not the case, the the PS3 would not be 8th in sales on VG on amazon.com.

Uh oh...looks like there's a problem when you use your single BB example and extrapolate to the whole USA. Hmmm, looks like amazon is a better example... Top Sellers Oh nooooes! The PS3 is 8th. And the 360 is 20th. Oh nooooes!!!! The Wii is 4th. But how could it be that the PS3, which cost $600, has few games, and unfished on-line, is outselling the 360 on amazon! Oh noooooes!!!!!! You can cry now. Or you can cry later. Oh noes!! Maybe because the 360 has been out for over a year and people have already bought them?? Oh noeesss. Go get some intelligence now. People have already bought them? What? You mean the 10 million people? Is that all you got? But what about the 100 Million PS2 gamers around the world that are waiting to buy a console? What about them? What are they waiting for? I thought the 360 was supposed to sooooooooo great! What's taking them so long? Hmmm, maybe they are waiting for more games to come out for the PS3 and aren't buying into the doom-and-gloom stories like you push around. You better get on the phone with your buddy Gates and tell him that "people have already bought them (360)." I'm sure he'll be happy to hear that. Instead of pointing at the PS3 sales. You better worry about the 360's. LOL. You are sad, delusional, desperate, and hopelessly close-minded. People are waiting for the PS3 to drop half in price or they're waiting for more Wiis. I have never seen a phenomenon where a system has suddenly dropped off in demand so quickly. You mention that people are waiting for better games. Guess what? EVERY SYSTEM THAT COMES OUT at first has a limited number of games. What a lacking comparison. Look at Ebay where PS3s are selling for below what you would pay in stores, not to mention there are nearly a thousand systems for sale. 360 has over 1500 units for sale, but considering how long its been out, that looks quite good next to the amount of people trying to offload their overpriced unit so quickly after its release.
BestBuy.com does not actually produce, update, or allocate stock on the website per Best Buy. As been said before, Best Buy doesn't even run their own website and the information on it. Just like any other website, it is a source for information pertaining to product and the like. It's not a sure-fire way to check stock on a particular item. On another note, BestBuy.com has never had the Playstation 3's as a "Store Pickup" item - even when they were available at the store. There are many new products that we carry in store, in stock, that aren't available for pickup.Why? Because Best Buy doesn't want to "hold" products for customers that purchase online in hopes that they actually show up. A true testament to this would be to check our Geek Squad department where there are tons of product that online customers haven't picked up.Please note my sarcasim in the previous post. Here is the link for the ps3 at bestbuy.com

Note the OUT OF STOCK and the NOT AVAILABLE FOR STORE PICKUP
laez
Since I work at BB, I could help Kilgore's cause and log into BB Toolkit and print off the stock availability of the PS3 in stores that are in a 100 mile radius of me or another board member. That would only settle a few scores - at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. The topic of the post is pertaining to the selling performance with the PS3. Having them in stock doesn't mean they aren't selling well, but should be a slight testament to providing irresputable evidence on the popularity of a product. We have PS3's in stock - three 60GB as of today. We are in an extremely high income area. We are a "Barry/Jill" store which caters to the high income, fashionable, got-to-have-the-latest-trend type of consumers. We have a high volume media department. We had 130 people standing outside our store three Sunday's ago, waiting to purchase the 37 Wii's we had in-store. We sell a lot of systems - plain and simple. The demand for the PS3's aren't as great as they were in November. They sure as heck aren't as great as the Wii demand. I work tomorrow at 11. I'll take a pic of the RSS screens in Toolkit showing the stock if it helps any.

Col_KilgoreIf you whole point is that more people would buy the PS3 if it were cheaper. Duh! Yeah and? We all know that. But your are acting like the PS3 is selling zero systems. Like the numerous xbots we get on this fourm that post silly things like, "We have 20 PS3s in our BB and no one wants them" blah, blah, blah... Plenty of people want the PS3. Many are buying now (as amazon proves it), some are waiting for March, some are waiting for their special game. And some are waiting for a price cut. Yeah and? In the end, the Wiifanboy or 360fanboy still WANTS the PS3. That's what's funny about all this. Lots of gamers WANT the PS3, but maybe can't afford one yet. Or, they can't justify it yet because their favorite game hasn't come out yet. Either way, MS or Nintendo have a lot to worry about. It's like they are settling for something less until they can get the real deal! The PS3! The one and only!
