DS is selling like crazy. Guess the Nintendo shortage is no more, and the DS is back to top slot.

PS3 couldn't beat the Xbox 360, but at least it can beat the Xbox 480.

Haha! Umm, I think 360 is around 3k or so in Japan, so 360 is selling better I guess

The Playstastion 2 is beating the Playstation 3. It looks like simply having a higher number on the name of the console and better graphics won't make it sell better than even a last generation console, which kind of means that the buyers are pretty smart, when you consider how much more better games there are on the PS2 then there are on the PS3 right now.

That's the paradox that cows fall into when they say, "PS3 graphics are the best, and people will pay more for them." Then why is PS2 outsellintg it?

Exactly, they are being proven wrong by a console they once supported. People aren't willing to pay $500+ just for better graphics. They would rather pay $100 for better games rather than $500 for better graphics any day.

The Wii was completely sold out in the month of February. It was difficult to find one. This point falls flat on its face.

It's easy to understand - the die-hard Sony fanboy market has been saturated. Those seeking to find PS3s in November & December were able to find them in January. This is the market that is not price sensitive at all. Now that this market has been saturated, Sony needs to count on consumers who are more price-sensitive to buy their console, and the market is speaking.

Even though the PS3 produces some terrific visuals, the buy-in price for the console is just too much of a sticker shock. The mass market is just not interested in buying a video game system that is $599. Price & content are everything! That is why the PS2, even today, is still selling unbelievably well.

The PS2 is an outstanding video game system because it gets the formula right. The PS3 is nothing like the PS2.

this is actually a good thing, imo

now those sony execs need to pull their head out of their @sses and stop saying that we are doing well... they need to start picking things up or they are doomed

the bad news is, the europ launch is coming,,, if that fails as will, then we'll see drastic change, like a price cut (yeah, sony are loosing a lot on ps3s, but loosing more is better than retailors not buying them anymore)   :D

Reasons of...

...drop of PS3 sales: lack of interest

...buying Gamecubes: They are avaible evrywhere!

...buying Xboxes: Not all games are backwards compatible on Xbox 360

...buying GBA's: Little kids keep buying it
