Shows what a good game can do!
or atleast what a hyped game can do for sales numbers

if u remember PS2 second christmas, and GTA and put two and two together, u come up with the largest christmas revenue sony's gaming entertianment division ever had!

Fastforward to 2007, and this time it's halo 3 helping m$ overtake nintendo's Wii in september sales!

The september sales stand as:

Xbox 360 - 527,800
Wii - 501,000
Nintendo DS - 495,800
PlayStation Portable - 284,500
PlayStation 2 - 215,000
PlayStation 3 - 119,400


As u can see the xbx beat the wii by a margin of a few thousand consoles!
Another fact is that the old guard ps2, outsold the new master (ps3) by a 100,000 consoles.

Shows how much confidence/ interest the consumer has in sony's new pet!

All consoles registered an increase in sales over the previous month, expect, as u must've guessed the ps3!

Consoles game sales as of september 07:

1. Halo 3 - Xbox 360 (EA) - 3.3 million
2. Wii Play - Wii (Nintendo) - 282,000
3. Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass - DS (Nintendo) - 224,000
4. Madden NFL 08 - PS2 (EA) - 205,000
5. Skate - Xbox 360 (EA) - 175,000
6. Madden NFL 08 - Xbox 360 (EA) - 173,000
7. Metroid Prime 3 - Wii (Nintendo) - 167,000
8. BioShock - Xbox 360 (Take 2) - 150,000
9. Brain Age 2 - DS (Nintendo) - 141,000
10. Heavenly Sword - PS3 (Sony) - 139,000

One ps3 game at 10, one ps2 game at 4. the rest is xbox,wii and ds

As a consolation, psp's sales nearly doubled after the launch of the slim psp-2000!


The 399 ps3 is now a must sell for sony if it is to survive this round of console war1

i guess saying that teh PS3 is failing miserably would be one serious understatement. its losing out to its predecessor, and that cant be good.

yep, that is why i think that sony had a change of heart regarding dropping price of the ps3, prior to 08. they had no plans to do so prior to that. i am guessing that this sorta forced sony to think again!

PS3 is too damn expensive. there are couple of titles though which can shoot its sales. One of them is the great Metal gear solid 4.
