XBOX SUCKS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CHART! The ps3 can only sell 9,000+ more machines in its own backyard than the 360. I do worry for sony :roll: Especially as the DS and PSP(of all things)are owning it. I don't know why CVG keep going on about this, like the Wii is done and PS3 will rise to lead console position, less people are buying Wii's because theres bugger-all out on it at the moment, when Monster Hunter 3 (a what was suppose to be PS3 exclusive, now turned Wii exclusive) comes out, there'll be no point of return for the PS3, not for another 4 or 5 years yet at least. The Wii has already won in Japan, PS3 2nd, Xbox 360 3rd. How can they sell many more when everybody in the civilised world seems to own one or knows 30 people that do. Looking at those figures I have to say once again... The Wii is still selling more units than any other console each week, it's just starting to sell less more, but still more.
It's still pulling away from them though rather than being caught up by them. Still maybe it is time for Ninty to think about a price drop... I don't understand Cvg's reasoning here. The PS3 is still selling less than the Wii, so the Wii is still pulling away in terms of sales, not gaining. It's not difficult to understand. I was thinking exactly the same thing.
How can the PS3 be 'gaining' if its still selling less consoles?!
Its still losing ground, but just at a slower rate.
The article is a very poor interpretation of the figures. I agree with the guys above. The sub-headline is misleading, Eurogamer do the same thing. It should just read 'Wii moves ahead at a slower rate.' Or something to that effect.
I don't buy into all this CVG is biased stuff but the way the story was written made it seem like they were desperately trying to paint the Wii as being in the shit or something. Or maybe i'm reading too much into it. :) You can't go back to somewhere you've never been, the ps3 never really sold all that high, and (like a great many people i'm sure) the only reason i don't have one is that insane price.
the only reason the sales in japan are dropping is because everyone there has 5...(...i may have made that up, but i wouldn't put it past them XD) "The system's sales have plummeted by 96,000 units since the week ending Jan 4"
Hmmm... I wonder why that is...
Is there some kind of special, almost worldwide event at the end of December that I don't know about? ultimately.. who gives a fuch? It's good to see the wii dominance coming to an end, but seriously, there's a recession people! I'm not a xbox man, but Kudos to the 360, it's not doing too bad at all in Japan, well, atleast compared to what it used to be.
It'd be nice to see the PS3 start 'beating' the wii for a while, even if only in japan though. It is also due one of it's JRPG sales spikes soon (well MSoft/SE hope so anyway) with Star Ocean due in about 10 days. Although I can never see the 360's sales equalling it's Japanese counterparts. Way to put a spin on that CVG! :roll: Bring back the good old days when CVG wasn't such a f*cking laughing stock!
Can anyboy outhere suggest a games site that is actually any good? This one is really starting to suck balls! Try play.tm doesn't seem bad in that it looks to me at least to be very impartial and leaves all the baiting headlines to it's external links (otherwise known on play.tm as the wire).
ALthough CVG is far from the worst at having baiting headlines in my opinion. Each to their own at the end of the day. |
