Exactly.. Oh Sony. It's such a nice piece of hardware too!

So 3DS is going to pass PS3 this year? Yes? No?

Heropon · (10-03-2012, 01:22 PM)

Is it normal for the PS3 to be under 10000?

mclem · (10-03-2012, 01:22 PM)

Isn't that a bit low for PS3? I don't believe I've noticed it drop below 10k before (maybe it has, but I don't think I noticed it happening!)

Alextended · 01:24 PM

Why did the 3DS bump? Colors?

Ys did alright, yeah? And EDF3's two versions.

Dragon Quest X still going, cool.

JustAnotherOtaku · (10-03-2012, 01:22 PM)

EDF numbers are a bit disappointing. Nice to see that and Ys chart though and give it a nice, if small, boost.

Kyoufu · (10-03-2012, 01:22 PM)

EDF bombed hard :( Was expecting more than that.

Zeer0id · 01:25 PM

Didn't expect Girls Mode to bump hardware

Code:

3DSLL |     55.353 |     35.206

Interesting.

20./15. [3DS] Brain Age: Concentration Training <HOB> (Nintendo) {2012.07.28} (¥3.800) - 6.487 / 168.807 (-17%)

Oop.

With all the hardware bundles? There is definitely a good chance.

On the bright side for Vita, it will finally cross 1 million this week.

Revision launching. It definitely has before multiple times.

Ouch for Vita. I expected a lager boost given the weeks new releases.

I think this was after the announcement of the new one.

That said, it's pretty ancient, so if it declines off into the sunset soon I wouldn't be too surprised.

I think it'll pull it off.

Something something home consoles are dead something or other.

KillerMan91 · (10-03-2012, 01:26 PM)

Considering that GTA games actually sell rather well in Japan Sleeping Dogs numbers are disappointment. S-E as publisher and setting for the game being Hong Kong I though it could do rather well.

I think many are prepping for the The New PS3™.

Mpl90 · (10-03-2012, 01:26 PM)

Due to this week's numbers, now Vita's LTD is lower than Dreamcast's LTD after the same number of weeks.

BowieZ · (10-03-2012, 01:26 PM)

So from my calculations, LTD sales of 3DS LL should overtake LTD sales of Vita by the end of November, especially with these 3 new bundles plus the blue.

BadWolf · (10-03-2012, 01:26 PM)

Might soon see a three way war between the 360, Wii and PS2.

patapuf · (10-03-2012, 01:26 PM)

could the WiiU eat a bit into the 3DS's holiday numbers?

Sho_Nuff82 · (10-03-2012, 01:26 PM)

PS3 surely dropped because the new model is coming soon, right?

Not to mention Sony isn't dropping the price of the PS3 putting Wii U at the exact same price and the launch will certainly affect the PS3.

Quote:

Potentially, but I think it is more likely to eat into potential late PS3 adopters.

Parmenides is writing a rebuttal dissertation as we speak.

Just one more week until Vita crosses 1,000,000 LTD!

Nah, 3DS bundles will be gifts. Families will buy themselves Wii Us independently of that, methinks.

Yeah, I'm not sure what Sony's strategy is outside of "stockpile money for PS4".

I wouldn't say that's guaranteed

schuelma · (10-03-2012, 01:29 PM)

Vita is going to get killed this holiday. 3DS, PS3, Wii U all with much better lineups.

They probably figure Wii U will sell regardless of what they do with their price, especially the first holiday season after the console's release. They won't change anyone's mind from getting a WiiU by dropping the price by $50 or whatever, not right now anyway.

PSP has a better lineup. PSP will probably outsell Vita this holiday

Do anyone remember the worst Holidays lineups for some of the losing consoles in their first years? Because Vita's lineup is terribad, and I want to know if there's something actually worse.

People want that? I'm still trying to figure out a benefit for buying the SlimV.2 over the older versions.

In regards to the rest of the sales, surprised by Gundam, good NSMB2 legs, generally interested to see how the near-constant stream of 3DSLL colours over the coming weeks will affect sales.

Very interested in Nintendo's angle of pre-loading MH3G onto a 3DSLL and selling it on a 'Play this with the WiiU game too!' angle - they are going after the MH players who haven't switched over yet HARD.

Elios83 · (10-03-2012, 01:32 PM)

PS3 sales are of course down because of the announcement of the new models.
Actually it means that people are interested and waiting for the new slim.

I would be surprised if there was a worse one, since I think almost none of the other failing consoles were from companies with two notable platforms.

Maybe the Virtual Boy?
