PS3 sold 600,000 units in a week. Its not that big of a surprise that they would see such a large drop in sales in the weeks after. The main difference here is that Europe had a larger supply of PS3s to go around than the 360 and Wii did during launch. I dont expect PS3 to sell as well as the 360 or Wii due to the simple fact that its more expensive, but I dont think it will fail.
[QUOTE="11Marcel"]It's not like it's flying out of the shelves too. Of course there's always some technophile that's going to get it, + the fanboys and girls around the globe. SambaLele
a jump from 2.3 millions of units sold to 3.07 millions in less than a week? if you don't call that flying out of the shelves, what do you call that then?
Thats a large jump in sales. Nobody can deny that, but thats due to them releasing the PS3 for the rest of the world. So of course theyre going to see a spike in sales just on anticipation for the PS3 alone. What really needs to be looked at is how the PS3 will sell after the dust clears.
[QUOTE="Radeon_X1950XTX"][QUOTE="SoulKillah"]I wouldn't say tat...this year looks promising with a strong line-up of games like R&C:toolsofdestruction.,NinjaGS,HeS,Lair,Warhawk,MGS4,Home, and the list just goes on...besides,i rather pay 20$ to get a Ps3 instead of a 360elite...so NO! Ps3 is not a sinking ship...princeofshapeir
lair and warhawk is a joke, dont bring it up
LoL. So True.
How true? They both look amazing. I think that Viva Pinata, Banjo Threeie (or whatever the hell it is), and Dirt are jokes. See? I can make stupid generalizations, too! WOW!
Without a story mode. Warhawk can never be taken seriously. More like a step backwards as far as effort goes.

[QUOTE="asmallchild"]http://ps3.qj.net/PS3-now-the-fastest-selling-console-in-history/pg/49/aid/87990 /thread. That was fun. Let's do it again sometime. Those numbers are great, but not much of a surprise. Considering how extremely popular the PS2 is and its large base. What remains to be seen is If Sony can be consistent with their system.
The XBox360 and Wii have some stunning games by the end of the year and the PS3 will be so far behind it will never catch up. The games I think won't do PS3 any good is Smash Bros Brawl, Halo 3, Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3 are very big games and they are all gonna be great.

dude heavenly sword and lair are coming out this year(some say may).
and maybe metal gear solid 4.
That was a weak comparison. Those PS3 games will get overshadowed by Wiis and 360s games.
Would it really make a difference If we told you? If your trying to get more bang for your buck then get a 360. If you want the PS3 exclusive titles, wait to see If they actually remain exclusive, then get a PS3.
