I already posted this! :evil:

Meh, I don't really care.......

Hard to believe the sub 200,000 numbers for the ps3 , 360 hardware ....... eventhough this is only a 4 week period instead of a 5-week period , the weekly average is down this month over last month ...... what would be the cause of this ? Doesn't make any sense to me.

Gas being $4 a gallon and food and everything else rising. most people think $400 is too much for a console.

Food and gas are neccessities to live and make a productive life for yourself and your family. They shouldn't be compared to our hobbies. We pay so much for the things that wee need, it's a bummer that we have to turn around an pay alot for things that we want enjoyment out of :(.

Regarding the PS3: it was overpriced compared to past consoles, but well worth it considering what you got.

Good sales for 360 and PS3. Ridiculous sales for the Wii as ususal.

well at least 360 sold more hardware and more GTA4 then PS3. Thats good news.

but to only sell under 200k????? for both 360 and PS3? something isnt adding up.........
