I was worried about the PS3. I am a fan of all systems, (Competition is a good thing) but every time I am at a game store they all tell me the same thing. The Wii and Xbox 360 is doing very well, but the PS3 sales are not good. Can someone tell me the sales numbers accross the board? Is the PS3 going to be like the PS2 where it starts off with low sales due to bad games, but comes on strong as good games become available.
yah i thnk the ps3 is not doing well with youngsters like the age of 10-17yrs old. they cant afford it and i dont think their mommie will or daddy will buy it for them.

First of all the PS2 launched with 4 AAA games(Madden, Tekken, FIFA, SSX). The slow sales were due to production issues. The PS2 didn't really start selling multimillions per month until the price went down. The PS3 is going to be here for a while and when it's all said and done, they will be no less than 2nd in the console war, but probably first. They don't abandon their consoles after 4 years, and the Wii will be so outdated a year from now that the interest will be minimal. Patience young man, patience.
It's sitting in stores in America 3 months after release which is unheard of, and more and more are not reordering because they cannot get rid of their current stock. It's getting outsold by the Wii 4 to 1 in Japan. There are no proven killer exclusive apps coming out for it this year. It's in big trouble unless something changes.

Wrong place to ask. Cows will tell you the PS3 is selling like hotcakes, it cant be kept in stock, the xtra $200 justify the blu ray drive and that rumble is last gen. Now that they may be getting rumble back its probably "next gen" to have rumble.
[QUOTE="fuzzysquash"]Sales-wise, the PS3 is at about 2 million, and it hasn't launched in Europe yet. So it's doing fine, but not phenomenal like the Wii.The_G00se
The Wii has dried up though.... keep telling yourself that

The Wii has dried up though.... it's not a gaming system that's going to competitive in the long run.
Yes, I agree. And I think the PS3 is doing just fine.
PS3 is pretty expensive compared to other game consoles. Those that don't know much about what to expect from each console is gonna go for the cheaper price. I think that's the reason it's selling so slowly. Am I the only one who thought the PS2 was very expensive when it came out as well. At that time I couldn't work, that's probably why.

not all consumers think cheap you know. thats the only logic here. for a console that been out for the time length... its doing fine.
It's doing ok, just not as great as Wii or 360. It will last longer then those two however, so if we give it time, it should be able to get up and grab the competition.
For a $600 console it's doing pretty well. Compared to the Wii and 360, though, its mediocre at best. As for sales, nobody knows particularly, but VGCharts.org (instant controversy) has the following: 360: 9.36 million 56.52% market share Wii: 5.2 million 31.4% market share PS3: 2 million 12.07% market share

The Wii has dried up though.... keep telling yourself that I actually have a Wii and my kids (6 and 3) don't even play it that much. It got old really fast. Just my opinion... they always want to play the PS3. The Wii is cute for kids... for adults, it's just plain silly.

It's odd that all of the 25-35 year olds I know only care about a combination of the Wii/360, and that that holds true throughout the anecdotes I see across the Internet as well.
March will be a nice turning point for the system in NA and obviously a big deal in Europe. It is not doing well in Japan , and I don't really expect it to the first year by looking at the lineup.
