zallaaa said:the lack of PS3 titles on the chart make me think that the japs are buying it only because with the new prices the hardware is too much tempting... or rather:
"Blue Ray adult movies, definitely enjoy them on the new PS3" (for the non-japs like me)
Stop using "Japs".

It may be a good thing for PS3 users but i don't think that it'll last long.

yeah, [potentially a turning point.....]Visualante said:
PS3 White goes on sale. . . sells 50,000 in a day (last weeks figures)
Second week sells 50,000 units in a week following the new hardware, new colour and cheap cheap price.
so from 50K in a day to 50K in a week to more than lkely less next week.
that's a turning point?

But it is unprecedented. Isn't it?
FunkyMunkey said:No offense taken. I'd be saying the same thing for other systems as well. I just think that the OP in a sales thread should just be fact fact fact while giving all competition good coverage. Then after that, the crazy antics begin.
Did you actually read the OP? It is fact, fact, fact as you say, mentioning the 360 and software sales of the PS3 and Wii.

I'm sorry, can you speak up? I can't hear you over the sound of your furious back pedaling.

Based on last and this week's early Famitsu numbers, what we heard about PS3 40 GB day one sales, and that these things always tend downward a bit after the peak, here's one possibility of how this two week period went.
Of course, it's hard to tell how steep the line was this week. PS3 could've been over Wii the entire week, with a bigger day-two drop and a flatter descent from there on. Or day two could've been bigger, with the rest of the week lower. *shrug*

Anything short of a newspaper from the future would say otherwise. Price is the barrier to entry, the cute likable adverts are running. I'm not putting any weight behind it but in the words of Luke Smith: price is the barrier to entry. That barrier has been lowered and cannot be ignored.ksamedi said:
For once I look forward to a sales age battle in Japan.

- A console selling more than TWO other ones for two weeks straight is hardly unprecedented.
- Siiiiiigh. I guess most of the other people in thread are also blind.
- I said "wow" out loud and am surprised to see it, but I forgot to write it down. I thought it, but forgot it. So, I added it to my next post. Not backpedaling.
How about sticking to the thread topic instead of "furiously" attacking me? I'm honored to have a fan but christ.

Great analysis.
Most people are forgetting that last week the price drop was only in effect for one day. This weeks sales are not at all surprising IMO. A bit surprised Wii hardware didn't increase, but the RE:UC sales are something to be happy about if you're Nintendo.

the one absolute fact that no one can disregard: PS3 outsold Wii again.
yet people will rebut that "WELL IT'LL GO DOWN EVENTUALLY!!" how does that change the past?
it doesn't.
As much as the fanboy in me enjoys Nintendomination, it makes me happy to see the PS3 doing better. Mainly becuase Nintendo needs to stop being so over confident. They need competition to make more games like Mario Galaxy. A pricedrop or Wii sports pack in in Japan would solve this issue quickly.
