Even though Ps3 is doing bad people are still not getting 360.

I'm using my friends as a demographic, please hear me out before you call me bias.

I used 6 friends in my study. I used the report in my article for my school news paper.

Friend 1. Last Gen Owned Ps2/Gamecube. This gen owns 360. Reason for not getting Ps3 too expensive.

Friend 2. Last gen owned Ps2. This gen owns Ps3. Diehard Sony fan.

Friend 3. Owned ps2 Last Gen. Doesnt kow yet for this gen.

Friend 4 Owned  ps2/Cube. This gen still hasnt decided.

Friend 5 owned ps2. Saving for ps3.

Friend 6. Owns all consoles. Currently doing the same, Hasnt gotten his hand on wii yet, but is trying.

( me). Ps2 owned last gen.  Pc gammer now.

My official theory for not seeing a spike in the console numbers is because most of the causals who bought the ps2 arent willing to buy a ps3 yet, but arent going to 360. Do i know why, still not sure. All i  know is for sure is that if the ps3 opted for normal Dvd Drive with a normal price it would have still had it causals on its side and would have steam rolled the two other consoles. This in my honest opinion. Right now Microsoft has the possibility of putting the nail in sonys coffin for this gen. At this point in time it doesnt look like Microsoft had done it yet.

Wii = 435,503

PS2 = 299,352

360 = 293,744

PS3 = 243,554

DS = 238,869

PSP = 210,719

GBA = 179,482

CUBE = 33,806

XBOX = 833

BTW the guy that posted these had predicted the WII 360 and PS3 numbers SPOT ON HOURS ago

(he gets the NPD numbers himself)

sorry buddy that doesn't work.  First of all, statistically you can't take a sample as small as 6 people to say that no one wants a 360.  Secondly the people you interviewed aren't random, this is another statistical no-no.

So, in conclusion, sample size too small and not radom, therefore is not considered statistically significant.

The price is probley the huge reason. The reason the wii is selling like hot cakes is because of price. My friend of a friend whoes family is on Food stampes bought a Wii. un-employed people have a lot of free time to go camp out.

Consoles aren't sold at a linear rate and prices aren't static, therefore your "math" holds no weight.

Please don't call this a study since it has zero basis whatsoever!

Of coarse there is fluxawility in the numbers, but what you predicting for Halo 3 to come out and the numbers to Sky rocket.Mozilla2006

Is this english?

You can't take one months sales and multiply it for 48 months to get the total sales for 4 years.  Last month they sold over a million.  I'm not even taking into account Halo 3.  I'm taking into account variables such as future price drops, future console redesigns, future unknown economic variables.  Not to mention the unknown of upcoming games and exclusives that could come out.  This thread just fails on so many levels.

The thing the guy left out was that 4Q all retail products sales increase bigtime. So millions of each console will move in just oct-dec alone. This guy doesn't know how retail works and doesn't understand the marketplace.
