This happening on the first month is a bit hilarious isn't it?

Well, looking at December's NPD... Sony had plenty of supply left over for January

 

[h3ro]

Poor Burnout sales, no?

It came out on Jan. 22nd! Those sales are for only for TEN days!!

 

[Innotech]

Ooh, this grape is sour.

like a warhead man.
Nintendo having massive shortages and still being in 1st place is just KILLING me.

 

[Skilotonn]

This happening on the first month is a bit hilarious isn't it?

Hilarious?

Nah, not at all...

All the big dogs (and I mean, ALL the big dogs) look like they all got hit with supply constraints while the PlayStation Family was the only one without supply problems, and everyone still was within breathing distance of each other...

But don't let me stop your celebration!

 

[WrikaWrek]

It's like almost beating a cripple in a race. Cartman would be proud.

 

[Parl]

Wii and DS have made me a hefty chunk on TheSimExchange.com with how much I put into shorting them. Should have predicted in the prediction thread, but couldn't be bothered this month.

 

[acabado]

Besides M$ damage control,X360 are really shortages?

 

[Innotech]

n/m misread it.

 

[AniHawk]

Sorta. There were halo 3 packs and arcade packs, but the ones people wanted (pros and elites) were hard to find.

 

[Replicant]

Sure. So DS, Wii, 360 are suddenly having shortages.

 

[Innotech]

Sure. So DS, Wii, 360 are suddenly having shortages.

:lol

wait, are you serious?

 

[shifty100]

Hey this great, 360 fanboys fall into the party line and dictate shortages as why the PS3 outsold it. lol talk about bad losers, this NPD is great just for the bullshit excuses from 360 fans.


' but there were shortages' 360 fanboy chant for the month confirmed.


:lol

 

[acabado]

So yes. Thank you.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Now the ball is rolling

 

[DevilWillcry]

My first sales age thread!....and...everyone is being a jackass.....yeah...I'm gonna leave now.

 

[Timan]

Damn, I was calling bullshit on the shortages, but I can't find a 360 (other than tard pack) at bestbuy or circuitcity.com

:lol

I dont even have a 360 and I can tell you thats exactly what happened here.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Hilarious?

Nah, not at all...

But don't let me stop your celebration!

Who's celebrating?

I meant it's hilarious since "2008 is the year of the PS3" as everyone was saying.

Oh wait, it's you again thinking I have an agenda :lol ... idiot.

 

[Replicant]

:lol

wait, are you serious?

:lol Well, yes. Some of us actually have lives and don't monitor the amount of hardware available on the nearest game shop. So I'm sorry for having difficulty in believing that those consoles are actually having shortages.

 

[Mojovonio]

what time is it, M$?

Its THAT time.

 

[Dead Prince]

IT was obvious. 2007 Sony had shortages and people had shortages of money too.

 

[A Human Becoming]

Well I was off by 324,000. At least I beat Pachter, who was off by 438,000.

Hedging a few to the extremes (low & high) definitely didn't work out...
Everything middled out. Sigh.

:lol

Here is what Sony's own definition was last March in regards to being supply constrained. So by Sony's own standards, the 360 was supply constrained and not "in-stock".

"The industry standard for a product to be considered to be in an "in-stock" position for a store is 30 units per store. This would be the level you would see for a PS2 or Xbox 360. At this level, retailers will feature a product in their weekly advertising circulars. If you are not at this level, retailers can't guarantee consumers will find one if they go into the store and they most likely won't support your product in weekly ads. Although you can indeed find PS3s in stores currently, we are no where near an "in-stock" position. 300,000 PS3s were sold into retailers the final week of March, so you should see increased marketing support from retailers in April."

I did the same. Epic failure for me.

I only got PS2 right.

 

[scottnak]

I got XBOX right... Ordering is completely jarbled though. Insanity I say. Insanity.

 

[Slavik81]

I was off by a MILLION fucking units of hardware. Or something ridiculous like that.
Holy fuck.

 

[Psychotext]

255k out for me. I overestimated pretty much everything. :lol

 

[Minsc]

Off by 234,000... the DS killed me, almost 100k on that alone.

 

[apujanata]

I am off 373K, of which 138K come from DS .

Where is Cheesemeister and his list ?

 

[scottnak]

*shrug* Quick perusal, THere are like 3 or 4 people who stayed hovering around the 200ks.
I'm willing to bet sonycowboy did the best... Insider information maybe?? Hmm!

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

What's up with NPD this week. No extra software numbers, no prediction results, no cheesemeister to update the OP in the MC thread, no sonycowboy, I haven't seen JJSlone around either....

Sales-agers am cry.

After about 13 months of "costs more" and "wait for game xxx" its a refreshing change.

and we laughed at them. as we laugh now.

I suggest to all poor fellows who cant find 360 in their local stores, to buy them online - you dont even have to pay sales tax, imagine!

Considering how popular Live! is, you have to wonder why wannabe 360 owners dont know how to use the "Internet".

 

[Psychotext]

I'd never buy a 360 online just in case it was DOA. :lol
