Not surprised at all.

 

Relatively slow month for software. Nothing shocking here.

 

The PS2 is still outselling the PS3. DAMN! It's the system that refuses to die.

 

Hm. Price drop of the Ps2 and it beats out the ps3...

Now come on sony, think this one through, what would a price drop of the PS3 do? Eh? Eh?


jerks.

 

Still? The last few months the PS3 has been selling better than the PS2.

 

Thing is Sony still moved a total of 415k units for a 21% of the market. Nintendo kicked a lot of butt with a total of 1.38k units for a 70% of the market. I would guess a good deal of that was due to the release of the DSi.
Microsoft got just 9% of the market.

 

Something is wrong when your 10 year old console is still in competition with your new one.

 

PS2 is still a great system and is still in demand. What can you say. Not everyone can afford a $250-$400 gaming console.

 

When you look at the titles out there for the PS2, that's a lot of games that are still fun to play. So if you did not get a PS3 that is backward compatible and you were late getting one (like myself) then the PS2 is a great bargain.
I was not a big fan of the playstations but now that I have gotten my PS3 I have become a big fan. My 360 hardly gets played any more, and if it were not for the few 360 only titles I want to play I would get ride of both my
360's

 

Seeing those numbers I am less impressed than I initially thought with the 360 sales, but I am more impressed by the original xbox than I thought.

I'm also surprised by how close the ps3 is compared to the 360 after 30 months.

 

yeah that is pretty surprising. that extra year on the market only got them 3 million units ahead? If your microsft you gotta be a little worried right now. Especially fsony DOES drop the price.

 

I would like to see the sales of the DSi against the DS.

 

Holy smokes.

Kudos to Nintendo on knowing how to print money.


I would like to say that for all the people (I'm included in this somewhat) who lambaste Sony and/or M$ for having multiple sku's or releasing later hardware with more functionality (or less in some cases); such as HDMI (I'm looking at you 360!), Nintendo is doing almost the exact same thing and they make a killing.

DS -> DS Lite -> DSi (I'll stick with my lite)
Gamecube -> Wii

 

the DSi is an upgrade over the lite in every way, and I believe part of the DSi's sales success is due in large part to Gamestop. We've had a deal going on since the DSi's release where you can trade in a ds lite for $70 off the price of the DSi. I can't tell you how many parents said no to the DSi until they heard they could get 70 off the price of it.

Im with you, i stuck with my Ds lite as well. I've been rather surprised by the DSi's sales.

 

DSi can't play advance games can it? :tongue2:
