NPD March was a 5-week sales period. While the PS3 showed a monthly gain in sales, the weekly average declined.

NPD Jan 2007 (12.31 - 02.03) [5 Weeks]
Wii 436,000 (87.2k per week)
360 294,000 (58.8k per week)
PS3 244,000 (48.8k per week)

NPD Feb 2007 (02.04 - 03.03) [4 Weeks]
Wii 335,000 (83.75k per week)
360 228,000 (57k per week)
PS3 127,000 (31.75k per week)

NPD Mar 2007 (03.04 - 04.07) [5 Weeks]
Wii 259,000 (51.8k per week)
360 199,000 (39.8k per week)
PS3 130,000 (26k per week)

So why is the topic creator focusing on the PS3 sales drop... looks like the Wii and 360 dropped way more.

How did they drop way more exactly ? 360 went from 294K to 228K, a loss of about 60K and then to 200K, another 30K drop

PS3 dropped from 244K to 127K, a loss of 115K and then remeained same

So 360 lost 90K in sales, PS3 lost 115K, 25K more, and this is a NEW console, not one that is out 1 year already !!!!

I expect PS3 to drop way below 100.000, and 360 to rise to 300.000 again, after Two Worlds,Colin timed excluisve, Eternal Sonata, bioshock, Blue Dragon this summer, and with Mass Effect, Halo 3, Too Human and Lost Odyssey this holiday could easilly reach 600.000 monthly, PS3 has nothing to even sell 200.000 with this holiday

Plus buyers will expect Fable 2, Cry On, Infinite Undiscovery, Sacred 2, Alan Wake early in 2008, so 2008 sales will be stunning as well

You know, sometimes I REALLY wonder about those 360 numbers... 300k + 230k + 200k = 730k consoles that they have supposedly sold since January this year. Yet when you look at those console war sites, like vgchartz, it has been sitting in the mid-9 million range, when it should have WELL been over 10 million by now (worldwide).

And you didn't mention the Wii sales drop... 100k drop from Jan-Feb, and another 75k drop from Feb-March, and this is a NEW console as well.

 

Vgcharts is not a reliable source for console sales info. It is a guessing site that prefers nintendo and sony in their estimations. The opposite could be said about Nexgenwars where the 360 is selling much more than Vgcharts. Dont believe either go off of official sales numbers.

[QUOTE="swaginator"][QUOTE="bman784"][QUOTE="tidus222"][QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"][QUOTE="tidus222"]

mass effect looks good

whats the gameplay like though

hopefully not like jade empire i hated the NEWBIE gameplay in that game

bman784
Go play Kotor, then come back. It's nothing like Jade Empire.

ive played KOTOR its one of top 5 xbox games if its like KOTOR i should love it

Think KOTOR's story and depth combined with a KOTOR/ Jade Empire with guns style of gameplay, and you should have some idea.

Can the player actually control the shooting and what not in Mass Effect? That is one of my pet peeves with RPG's they often times take too much control out of hte players hands. I want to fight and shoot myself.

There is standard auto aim, that much I know. I'm not sure whether or not the auto aim can be turned off. The auto aim makes it so that the combat is more RPG oriented. As opposed to having your twitch shooting skills tested, accuracy is more determined by your combat ability in certain skills. It would be cool if there was an option to deactivate the auto aim for a greater challenge, though.

The devs have said that you can play with sticky aim like an RPG or you can have none and play twitch.

[QUOTE="guynextdoor1688"]Thats a good choice, even though xBox didnt "win" last gen i still had lots of fun with it. And 360 wont "win" this gen either but it will still be alot of fun XDxX0LDSCH00LXx
Thats your opinion and thats all it is! lets see.. what was the old PS2 arguement? ah yes..."MORE GAMES" oh and the "EXCLUSIVES" that Sony has left will eventually make it over to the 360, so whats left? Blue Ray? Dont need it!

I think he was talking about the WIi, The PS3 has no chance of winning this gen.

Thats true backwards compatibility does matter if you haven't had a gamecube especially because the GRAPHICS LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME, so its easy to get used to unlike switching between say gears of war and halo

I would easily say Zelda in 3D. 2D should keep going just not 3D. It hit it right with OOT when the targeting system was innovative but now the game is just meh.
