APRIL NPDS - PS2 Sells (Nearly) as Much as 360, Wii falls to 340K

[QUOTE="surrealnumber5"][QUOTE="TheOldOlder"]NPD threads are always an anti Ps3 festTheOldOlder

Well PS3 being the best console is opinion. The rest is just a bunch of whining and irrelevant ifs. As if the gamecube (cheapest console last gen) was the best selling.

Argument? more like cow excuse 101 for why noone really wants a PS3. Maybe it's because the general gaming sees through the PS overhype machine and notices you can geta superiorgaming experience on a cheaper console

I changed the title for all the whiners who wanted it to be more exact. I guess they were kinda right. :)dgsag

ps3 sales are so crappy b/c it costs 400$$ then add tax to that its around 450$ canadian. When they drop its price about 50$ ill get one.

During that era, there wasnt a really recession...

[QUOTE="TheOldOlder"] If all consoles had the same price tag NPD would mean something "if" the Ps3 was still outsold by the competition, right now all I see is the impact of the recession on the gaming market, the cheapest consoles sell better then the expensive ones thats it, the Ps3 is still the better console.-Melix-

No Killzone 2 to be found. I'm not surprised, but it's still disappointing.musicalmac

Even on a bad month for Wii it still manages to outsell any April NPD that the PS2 has ever sold.

The economy was declining, but during that time ps3, and 360 were head to head....Now it seems 360 is ripping the ps3...

Hope more games will come to the PS2. 8)

The current topic header is biased, as why mention that the Wii falls to 340K (but failing to mention that it sold more units than the Xbox 360 and PS3 combined), while the DS increased to over one million?

19 consecutive months:

The PS3 has a habit of getting beat out by old tech;

See GBA beating PS3 sales.

It's mostly due to the Ps3 price drop to $99. Nothing anyone can own a PS2. It's sad that the PS2 completely outsold the PS3. That's not good at all. XBox 360 sales are always low during the summer months. They are usually lower then the PS3. Remember 2008? This year they are actually higher. The XBox 360 does it's stronger sales in Oct, Nov & Dec. Unless Sony give the PS3 a decent price cut, the 360 will be outselling the PS3 2:1 again this year during the holidays.

Yeah.. you read it right. The PS3 is falling further and further behind the XBox 360 every week and month. Seems like it's falling behind the PS2 now as well.
