PS3's selling like hot cakes, it was unbelievable. The 40gb with spiderman 3 is selling out. People were taking 2. I didnt even see the wii so i cant comment on that and the 360 was right next to the ps3 and it wasn't getting too much attention. Oh btw, i'm never doing this black friday thing again, it's not worth it. Look for ps3 sales to boom, heard it here first

I did the 5 AM thing at Fry's and I saw a lot more PS3s being sold than 360s. Both had a lot of sales but there was probably a 3:1 ratio in terms of PS3 over 360. People were getting the PS3 with 5 blu ray movies for 400 bucks deal at Frys (I think it came with 300, Underworld, Hellboy, Spiderman 3, and forget the last one) and there were a lot of systems being sold. More than anything however were HDTVs, I lost track of the amount being purchased.

Eh?? What's going on?

The PS3 price drop and 40 GB launch was like November 2nd. What is it causing them to sell like crazy now?

Glad to hear it, just curious what's behind the sudden push?

Yeah, I know, but why PS3 > 360? What's the deal there? I'm used to seeing it go the other way.

Well yes, that's nice, but I think I'd prefer a real answer from a non-fanboy. Would that be possible?

I went to Best Buy and saw a man balancing a stack of 12 PS3's with one hand and carryingone 360 in the other. That means they are out-selling the 360 at a 12-1 ratio. Amazing!fanboy999

I was in a best Buy today also and the employees were begging people to buy a PS3. They were saying stuff like "Please they are only collecting dust and we will give you it half off" and no one bought them. The Wii and 360 consoles were flying off the shelf though.

Oh and I was in Best Buy today too and the PS3's were becoming self-aware and transforming into cars to drive the shoppers home in, wait I mean FLY the shoppers home in yeah flying cars and there were like 76 people gathered around the Wii demo laughing at this one guy playing it everyone was laughing and then they threw eggs and tomatos at him then tarred and feathered him there was a big 360 display but it was so hot it blew up the whole 360 section and then Best Buy was like "AHHH IM SICK OF THIS" and then they cancelled 360's forever, they called Microsoft and were like "DUDE UR CONSOLE IS TEH SUCKS" and Bill Gates was like "YEAH I KNOW IM SORRY :(" and then he started crying he was crying a lot, snot was running down onto his lip and he just kept crying, then he hugged his assistant and his assistant cradled him and was like there there Mr Gates it will be okay, does Billy want the biddy?? and Bill Gates said he was cancelling 360's forever and dedicating his life to helping the PS3 and Apple, and he was going to give all of his money to Sony so they can cure AIDS together and ride elephants through the sahara to a little place called Funkytown.

That's what I saw at Black Friday.

You know, my local Best Buy (true story God as my witness) has demos of guitar Hero III and Rock Band right next to each other. Guess which version they were? The 360.

I saw I big stack of 40gb PS3 no one was paying attention to while people were crowded around the GH3/RB demos, which happened to be in the 360 section. The Pros were sold out, they only had 1 Elite and 4 Arcade but 2 of them were snatched up before I left.

Whats with the seething hatred for the PS3? Why all the obviously made up stories? is it that hard to believe that in some places the PS3 is selling well? Eltroz .. man. I would insult you if it wouldn't get me banned. Horrible fanboy man. horrible.

Anyway, I think the PS3 will do well this holiday, but If it does manage to outsell the 360, then it probably won't be by a huge amount. As far as the Wii goes, it's hard to say how many will sell, due to limited supplies. Either way, this is going to be interesting to see the sales charts for the next few weeks.

Eh?? What's going on?

The PS3 price drop and 40 GB launch was like November 2nd. What is it causing them to sell like crazy now?

Glad to hear it, just curious what's behind the sudden push?

Black Friday. It's the day after thanksgiving, and the biggest buying day of the year.

Yeah, I know, but why PS3 > 360? What's the deal there? I'm used to seeing it go the other way.

Well there could be a few factors:

1. They already have a 360 and Wii

2. It comes with spider-man

3. It is a Cheap Blue Ray PLayer

4. Brand Name don't forget how many people bought the PS2 may now want a PS3 because of a lower price

5. There are some good games on the system even if they don't score high

What really confused me around here was when Rock Band was released. Stacks and stacks of the 360 version were at the stores around here but I had a hard time finding the PS3 set (got lucky and hit Kmart right before they closed and got the last PS3 one). This doesn't mean much except the obvious and that is PS3 owners around here (few in numbers) have more money to blow than the 360 users in this area.

I had to work Black Friday today, It SUCKED!!!!!! So many people were racing to the Electronics section, and thats where I work. Both the Wii, 360, and PS3 were sold out by 7:00 (we opened our doors at 6) I was surprised to see PS3 sold out. We had a very good deal on some games. Orange box, COD 4, and Halo 3 were all 48 Bucks.

Guitar HEro 3 on all SKUS sold insanely good. I saw alot of people with even two of them in their carts.

im not saying your an idiot but just because you dont like it doesnt mean its not selling well....but your right no BC is BS

if they were to make a slogan for the PS3 it should be "we value more BS over more BC!"
