360 should easily outsell the ps3 this holiday season

I expect similiar places for the rest of the year.

No offense to LittleBigPlanet because it is a great game, but earlier today someone said it was at 760k with worldwide. So it is at 215k in NA, around 100-120k including PS3 bundles, so that mean... about 400k+ everywhere else? I don't think so :(

I'm sad to see Saints Row so high up on the list beating other games like Dead Space and LBP.

The PS3 wasn't able to cut the 360's lead in NA this year. tsk tsk tsk, 399 will never be a mainstream price and I'm so happy to know next gen we won't see anything priced over 299....I hope.

How many days did LBP have in October? Cause these sales are pathetic for a great game. phatkav

It was officially realeased on the 28th, so only 4.

Goes to show what happens to a great game when it is hyped to death. I think people were beginning to get bored of LBP a year ago. As I see it Home is going to face the same fate.

As others have said, if Sony wants to catch up in NA, they have to cut the price.

It seems to me as the year goes on the ps3 just becomes less relavent.

I mean cmon these are sales they were posting last year and that was there "bad" year. Games like LBP are flopping in sales yet wiifit is outselling it :? Thats a joke.

It's just like last year, the only exception is that it has better games.

i know that wii outsells all consoles

but it even outsold the DS... HOW?

ds was always outselling wii until the last 2 months

Part of it is also that the DS is reaching a saturation point. You can only sell a person 2 or 3 DS's before they don't want anymore.
