[QUOTE="SillyManimal"][QUOTE="Slyprince"][QUOTE="ultima-flare"] Why are people acting like PS3 sales are garbage? It doubled its sales from last June. Sold 98k in June(5 week period) and 159k in July(4 week period). 98,000/5= 20K per week. 159,000/4= 40K per week. Sony(and gamestop) even said themselves that the sales doubled. People were impressed when they heard that....but now that the numbers are official, they are terrible? You only think they are so terrible cause 360 still outsold it. That 11k sales difference betweem 360 and PS3 has no signifigant value except to "claim ownage". PS3 sells 20k a week in Japan, and 360 sells 3k there, so that alone more than levels out this extra 11k...NPD is USA only, people tend to forget this or they're just ignorant of the rest of world....
The real surprise of this NPD is how Wii managed to sell 400k in just 4 weeks. Thats even more than it sold in the last NPD, which was 5 weeks.

wow, you spun that so hard, it gave me whiplash
The truth hurts.
June
360: 198.4K
PS3: 98.5K
July
360: 170K
PS3: 159K
But hey, we will have to wait and see how things play out over the next few months.
Is this directed at me? If so you fail to see my point, Sony targeted for the PS3 sales to double in July NPD, and that they did. 360 outselling ps3 by 11k doesn't "hurt", sure you can claim ownage on this insignifigant number but you are missing the point which is that PS3 sales doubled. 11k is equivalent to 1.75 days of sales for ps3(in US)...
As for the next few months, 360 will dominate(in America at least) thanks to Halo 3. Once the new year sets in though and MGS4, KZ2(granted, if it's good), GTAIV and GT5(set for July release according to famistu interview with developer/best selling franchise last gen after GTA) then PS3 will most likely pull ahead of 360 for awhile. Meanwhile, ps3 will continue to outsell 360 in Japan and the rest of the world.
now I'm sure cows invented the Tilt-A-Whirl
