I looked at the sales on vgchartz.com and 360 is still outselling ps3 in the latest week and thats before 360 even had the price drop.

It's not even been a Week yet, talk about jumping the gun. We won't have any conclusive data until after the end of the Jan sales really.

Well I know Japan had a gigantic line.. but I have no clue how much it will actually sell, they have some sort of addiction to slimmer products anyway.

Wow we're using vgchartz as a source for hardware sales now? I thought we decided to disregard anything from them before NPD results came out.

Over the last few months or so Sony has been ceasing production of the phat PS3s. Now they are considerably less in stores. I have yet to see one that is not the Uncharted Bundle around here.

Now the Slims are slowly coming into stores, with America getting the first batch. So far PS3's sales increased there. In Japan it has decreased which is due to the declining stock of the phat PS3s. Now the Slims just got in today.

No one knows what is happening in Europe at this moment. Basically the PS3 Slim had a "Week Zero" launch. Some places got them, some didnt, Phatties are phased out.

I say wait a week or two to see what goes on.

It's only been 3 days:| Give it time and let the new ad campaign sink in before you call the price cut a failure. As much as you don't want it to, the price cut will move tuns of PS3s. Just deal with it and move on.

In my area, 2 wallmarts, 3 eb games, a gamestop, a future shop and a few other places are all sold out of PS3's. Slim and fat. I went out looking to try and get a better look at the slim in person. Nowhere has anything.

It helped, but not a whole lot yet. There are a couple reasons for lower sales for the PS3 Slim and the XBox 360. For the PS3, Sony already has a shortage for the PS3 Slim system. It's launch date was suppose to be Sept 1st, but many retailers broke the street date and sold their PS3 Slims. Sony didn't complain though, but they seem to be just getting started on manufacturing the systems still, so the first batch of systems sold quickly. People for some reasons aren't running out and buying many of the original bulky 80GB or 160GB PS3 because the 80GB is less storage at the same price and the 160GB is senseless since you can upgrade the PS3 Slim to that amount for around $60-$70. All 3 systems are pretty much the same except for storage size and shape. I honestly think Sony will have shortages during the holiday unless them have additional manufacuring facilities pumping out these PS3 Slims. As for the XBox 360 Elite. the price cut was announced at the end of last week, so not everybody knows yet. The Ads were in Sunday's paper, so this week we should see large sales of the XBox 360 Eite as well. I still want one, but will have to wait for more funds to come in. I still expect the PS3 to sell over 200K one week this month I really can't see how it won't, but stranger things have happened. Expect the XBox 360 to be over 100K next week.

*********************************************************************************

Well I know Japan had a gigantic line.. but I have no clue how much it will actually sell, they have some sort of addiction to slimmer products anyway.110million

Well, Microsoft announced a price cut in Japan as well, so I'm wondering which system those people were in line for. lol!!

The Price Cut was announced over a week ago. How soon we forget --->http://www.gamespot.com/news/6215547.html

Price cut was announced back on Aug 18th. That's 2 weeks ago actually. The PS3 Slims didn't hit retail until the 24th I believe. Xbox 360 price cut was announced until Aug 27th --->http://www.gamespot.com/news/blogs/london-calling/909183773/27015136/xbox-360-elite-price-cut-official-arcade-goes-up-in-price.html?board_id=909183773&topic_id=27015136&news_site_blog=true

Feel free to give us the store locations and phone numbers so that those people looking for a Slim might be able to get one?
