VGchartz is legit now?

Shy_Guy_Red

Only if it can help support whatever argument a person is presenting. Also any random blog is acceptable, no matter how poorly written and full of fanboy ideology it is.

It's amazing how sales are starting to matter all of a sudden.

Sales? That was a link to VGchartz... the correct response was: "It's amazing how made up numbers by random people on the internet are starting to matter all of a sudden"

The masses are finally seeing the 360 for what it is, an unreliable system that's only a little more powerful than the Wii.

? Most of the major issues (RROD, E74) have been ironed out with the new manufacturing process. Little more powerful than Wii? You mean a lot more?

this month of sales is very much like in an nba game where the minnessota timberwolves go on a lil' 5-0 run agaist the LA lakers while all of the scrubs are playing at the end of the 3rd quarter to make the score 60-85 for the lakers, instead of 55-85

it's a nice little run for the PS3

it's doubtful that it will last long enough to make the PS3 pull ahead in the long run

See what happened once all 3 consoles are about equal in price. The best console starts outselling the other 2.

patriots7672
LOL wow what weakness right there. Lets see people all most STOPPEd buying the ps3 a month till the price drop and SLIM release thats right the price drop wouldn't have had nearly the affect the combination of the 2 is what did it. When you have people waiting and waiting because they are told by so many sites and magazines EXPECT PRICE DROP then you tend to get a huge amount of sales of those people going out and buying it when it does, then you have the release of the slim....so please don't make it out that price was the only thing keeping the ps3 back.

Then the PS3 really is only a little more powerful than the Wii too.

Just cuz lemmings only had sales now they don't have a leg to stand on.

Jfisch93

Sorry, but the 360 has more critically acclaimed games than PS3. Nice try though.

People tried to downplay the PS3 because it didn't have good sales even tho it always had good games and now has great games. The failure in your argument is that PS3 not having good sales didn't stop it from having good/great/amazing titles and now it seems PS3 is also getting better sales.playharderfool

There was nothing to downplay, the PS3 had disappointing sales from the start. Most of the exclusives were published by Sony or the result of sweetheart deals. It isn't as if the PS3 attracted developers.

Of course the PS3 slim is doing well. The PS3 fat was bulky and expensive. Oh my god people were not lining up to pay $400 for a console shaped like a George Foreman grill. What a shocker.

I bet the majority were preorders.. I think the aim is to keep it selling at that much or at least more than the wii and 360 for the rest of the consoles life.

Seriously...for the past 3 years PS3 fanboys constantly said how little sales matter and that they don't care. Now all of the sudden sales are the most important thing in the world.

fanboys is the key word there

i hope you where being sarcastic, the 360 is doing fine, it's a total myth that the 360 will die IF the ps3 moves ahead in install base, by that logic, the ps3 has been dead in the water since it was released.

The PS3 really had a spike in Japan. FFXIII being a PS3 exclusive there effected it a lot more than I thought. That combined with a price drop was a big deal. It might continue for a little while just because of what's going down on 12.17.09. Of course it won't be the same huge jump as we just had, it was a frickin' hardware launch :/

it kinda works the other way around to..

lems last month = our sales are cool

lems this month = but sales don't matter

I'm just saying....

I still don't care as long as I have something to play.... and there is no way I'm gonna catch up.

wait... I guess I do care for those people who said and still say that console X, Y or Z will "die". It's pretty obvious that all 3 are sticking around.

Here is the NPD sales data for video games in August 2009:

Hardware Sales
Nintendo DS - 552.9K
Nintendo Wii - 277.4K
Xbox 360 - 215.4K
PlayStation 3 - 210.0K
PSP - 140.3K
PlayStation 2 - 105.9K

When did Sony have a price drop, August 18th? When did Microsoft - August 30th? Not good for Sony, of course alot of people could have been waiting for a PS3 slim, so we will have to see what September brings.

Sony fanboys..accept the fact the PS3 will never and I repeat never catch the Wii. Well unless all the new Wii's start bursting into flames and Nintendo never sells another Wii. Then it has a chance. Sorry it's just the truth you must learn to face it.

Last time I checked:

"...should put the final nail in the coffin for the PS3"

"PS3 a sinking ship"

etc..

So just how many nails will it take to lock the PS3 six feet under for good?
