No actually its the smaller userbase.

FIipMode

No actually it's because of the fact the many people bought it as only a Bluray machine, nothing more.

If you don't think that alot of people bought it just for Blu Ray you are wrong. When PS3 first came out it was one of the best Blu Ray players and was cheaper then the few standalones that were better. So alot of people did buy it JUST for blu ray sorry.

[QUOTE="Brownesque"] This doesn't make sense because the Playstation brand has sold considerably more units than any other system in history.... Brownesque

It had a year's headstart, competition free, more software at launch and now, and an online service from it's launch that was able to build a great deal of "all my friends have one" momentum.

I don't think the PS3 has really had a killer app yet, FFXIII was one in Japan I guess, but on a worldwide level I can't pick any particular piece of software as yet.

NDP are the NATIONAL number meaning the U.S. we all know the ps3 outsells the box everywhere outside the U.S. so this is significant. The US is what keeps the box afloat. if the ps3 continues to dominate the box in pal and asia and ties the box in the states it will be game over quicker than you think.

Where are the European numbaz!!? :o

[QUOTE="Theguy56"][QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"]Pretty evident that "shortage" that plagued the Wii so long doesn't exist any more. Still ... that many Wiis sold is ... wow.nhh18

Both. The idea that the record setting NSMBWii had nothing to do with it is silly.

Woow MW2 sales for December on both PS3 and 360 are kinda close. i'v noticed a huge increase in the online on MW2 for ps3 lately that there were more than 900k players online a couple of days ago. anyways great news for everyone but OMG why Wii keeps on selling???????? Whyy??? :P

theslim hasnt really had the impact i thought it would

I'm calling it a virtual tie. Ha. The Wii did more than both combined...

Floppy_Jim

Sony's press statement said that Uncharted 2 is over 950ksince launch(NPD). Nice bounceback sales for game-ah-da-year , game-ah-da-year. Uncharted 3 greenlight time!

[QUOTE="Theguy56"] I wonder what caused such a spike in Wii sales though. Was it New Super Mario Bros Wii?nhh18

I'm sure BOTH had a say in the matter, but I would guess that Mario was probably the most crucial element towards the boost in hardware sales. NSMBWii was the one thing the Wii really didn't have all year: a system-selling game. Seeing as how people were pretty familiar of the New Super Mario Bros. brand from the DS, I suspect that many owners of that system made the jump to the Wii because of NSMBWii's presence. Furthermore, the game was perfect for Nintendo's marketing strategy, since they had a high-profile title they could really be agressive with from a software standpoint, while still being able to slip in the fact that the Wii was less expensive now.

To think that people were actually underestimating the impact of a 2D Mario game in this day and age... :P

I thought everyone and their grandma already had a Wii!! :o

Seriously, are people buying them for backups now? :P

.

PS3 and Xbox did worse than I thought they would while the Wii did better lol.

By looking at both the Wii's and PS2's best December numbers, not only the Wii shattered the PS2's best December record, but it did so by a margin of 1.1 million units.

6.5 ps3, 6.2 wii, 7.5 xbox 360. This is april 22nd 2009. Wii attach rate is really 5.2 (includes wii sports)nhh18

That 7.5 isn't the 360's actual Attach rate, its at 8.1 looking at your numbers, and thats still quite a difference in the long run.

[QUOTE="Brownesque"] Playstation 1 was not a DVD player and yet at its time was the most sold console ever, selling well over 100 million consoles and reasonably bludgeoning the competition. Part of Playstation 2's success was brand recognition, although early penetration can easily be at least partially attributed to the DVD player (due to the larger cost compared to the competition). You have a point about the popular franchises, but Microsoft was able to obtain them because they took on a strong market position whereas last generation Sony was able to obtain them from its predecessor which legitimately ripped them out of Nintendo's claws.Brownesque

Crash Bandicoot sold 6 million or so. I know that's more than Starfox, Perfect Dark and Super Smash on the N64. Perfect Dark is what 1 million? At most 2 million. Probably Zelda and Goldeneye are the only two games above 6 million. Those are probably 7-8 million. Oh and Mario of course is tens of millions like always.

As far as i remember i think it was posted here before that PS3 is in the 37 Million mark and 360 in the 39Mil.. my god the ps3 slim sure changed everything

[QUOTE="Kennysolidsnake"][QUOTE="skinny_man_69"]

Oh snap. Looks like PS3 will be catching up to the 360 within the next few months with that hugemargin of a victory :roll:

skinny_man_69

I was pointing out the fact that SOME people say that the PS3 will outsell the 360 WW by the end ofthis year. It is obviously selling extremely well (which it should considering it is finally getting high quality exclusive, and Blu-Ray certainly helps), but only beating the 360 by 50k in the biggest market isn't anything to get extremely excited about. Which, I am sure you weren't, right? ;)

Considering the NA is pretty much suppose to be 360's Market, getting outdone there is a preety bad sign.

Also, 50K in the largest market is sorta off, considering it's alot more in the other markets.

The PS3 has already pasted the 360 in EUROPE despite the 16 month difference in launch dates.

Wow at Wii and NSMBW :o

And the PS3 outsold the 360 by 50k, i was expecting it to be the other way around :P

Imagine what happens when GT5 and GOW drop.

The Wii sold more and made by far the most profit.

The PS3 sold less then the Wii, but more then the 360 and lost money.

The 360 sold the least and made a lot of profit.

Who's the real winner? Nintendo obviously. Not includnig the DS sales which are nothing short of scary.

Im 100% sure that in Europe ps3 is outselling the 360 and ps3 is outselling the 360 in Japan as well, so overall ps3 is doing perfectly well, now Sony need to start with this new PSN i dont mind paying as long as they make it great. do it sony!!

Wow at the Wii and NSMBWii for outselling both the 360 and PS3 versions of COD: MW2. I remember trying to buy this game after Christmas and it was sold out almost everywhere around my area. Instead I got Muramasa.

BTW what was Reggie's bet?

I still think it's incredible that Europe has a bigger market for Sony than the US, yet the support Europe is given by them is abysmal.

360 still killing PS3 in software and will contuine to do so when they catch up in user base.

[QUOTE="nhh18"]He just made it up :P. Every English based nation is xbox 360 strength(australia and england: the most similar culture to america), but other pal regions sony would brag about (germany, france, etc) for 2 years. So I would think a ps3 100 $ price drop, and slim would cause the sales to be a little higher on average like everywhere else in the world.
