i really HATE this argument. 99% of the people here are debating the NEXT GEN war. wtf does ps2 and psp have to do with that? if you wanna roll that way you may as well say MS has vista to fall back on. :lol psp and ps2 arent going to save the ps3 from losing dev and consumer support.

What are you talking about? March NPD was for a full 5 weeks. April NPD will be for a full 4 weeks.spwolf said:

know your sales calendars before you comment, thank you
they don't track the actual month, they track weeks. the "march" reporting period tracked 5 full weeks, march 4 - april 7. the data for "april" will be april 8 - may 5. for the rest of the year, the dates will be
may: may 6 - jun 2
jun: jun 3 - jul 7*
jul: jul 8 - aug 4
aug: aug 5 - sep 1
sep: sep 2 - oct 6*
oct: oct 7 - nov 3
nov: nov 4 - dec 1
dec: dec 2 - jan 5*
see the pattern? every third "month" is a five week reporting period. this past january was a rare five week period to make up for the year not having exactly 52 weeks. so once per seven years (not factoring in leap year), they need to insert an extra week.
enjoy the rest of your stay on sales age.

They aren't. The thing is they will end up with the relevant share of the pie, but not by competing. The PS2, GC and Xbox were in similar positions for different reasons, there was a race between Nintendo and Microsoft but the PS2 got the relevant share of the pie. Wii is next gen on a new path, while the others are next gen on an old path, which path becomes prevalent is the key to Nintendo's success, and that extends to why the DS had to win against the PSP.

Sure, one is going after a wide audience, while the other two are going after narrow audiences.

June or July is more likely. As someone else said, Wii may be the first system to 10 million units sold to consumers. "First to 10 million wins!" :lol

With how much time you spend in sales threads, you'd think some of it would rub off on you. February is a 4-week month by NPD reckoning. March is a 5-week month by NPD reckoning. I suggest you bookmark Odysseus's post for future reference.

We need the gif where nelson laughs at the guy with long legs, then he makes nelson walk down the street and everybody laughs at nelson.
Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft are all competing for the exact same users. The difference is how they go about attracting them.
I think these are some of Patcthtter's best predictions ever. I may have rounded a little different, but I can't really argue against them...
... But then again, I haven't done so hot this year with my own predictions.

PS3 at 100K? PSP > 360? It's going to be a very wild Thursday :lol

Actually, if the downward trend stays, I'd imagine that PS3 will be sub-100k for April. X360 will probably be sub-180k unless Elite did better than I thought it would.

Well they are $100 and $300 too expensive because they cost even more than that to manufacture in 2007. That's why people are saying next-gen is rushed. If they want this to be the HD generation, they should've waited a couple more years, or, like Nintendo, wait until the next time.

March 4, 2000. It was ~$400.goldenpp72 said:

so if it came out in march 2000 then doesn't that mean the 360 has to pass 2 years and 2 months or something? (before taking the longest price drop crown of course)

You're getting into not only apples and oranges there, but grapes. Price drops in different regions rarely match directly; according to Wikipedia PS2 went open price in April 2001, with a true price drop happening in June 2001.goldenpp72 said:
