diddlyD said:well, its just consistently you always portray this "wii sells a million, 360 sells half a mil (except when sold out!!!) and ps3 is lucky to sell 2". and we know that can't be normal because npd doesn't reflect that at all. so it just seems like you're some sort of viral marketer or somebody with an agenda. i'm just sayin.
ita hard to believe that a target, let alone 10 of them, is selling next gen consoles as poorly as yours. i think in the hour i spent in target in the last month, i saw more ps3s and 360's sell and i wasn't even paying attention.

Andy787 said:Normally I would say these kinds of threads are stupid and meaningless, but considering your store manages to sell one next generation console in a span of merely fourteen days, I think it is important to get this information out.
AlteredBeast said:Well, I don't have an agenda. I am sorry that the PS3 doesn't sell well at Target. Hell, the Wii outsold the 360 4:1 at my store last year. Target is just one facet of the retail market. It is a family store and skews heavily towards family consoles. Gamestop skews the other way. If I worked at a Gamestop, I am sure the consoles selling would be heavily different.
spwolf said:which is the warning that should be on top of every thread like this... every single thread that was posted on GAF with retail info on xmas time told us Wii sold 10x more than 360 and 100000x more than PS3... did that happen? Nope.
Will PS3 outsell 360 in Jan in USA? Very unlikely.
So what is the point of threads if info they contain is completly biased? For fun?

Linkup said:What wii sold 10x threads? I remember two threads about 10:1 software. Yeah these threads are completely biased against PS3 fanboys, like all sales threads are.

How is Wii being sold out, 360 mostly sold out and PS3 selling bad in any way biased? It's the truth.spwolf said:which is the warning that should be on top of every thread like this... every single thread that was posted on GAF with retail info on xmas time told us Wii sold 10x more than 360 and 100000x more than PS3... did that happen?

According to your observation they should be selling twice as many PS3s as they are selling 360s.Snah said:Was just looking at one of the largest retail outlets in the US and heard some interesting info about sales at the national level for this retailer. Didn't get any concrete sales data, but I was informed that the Wii is still sold out (shock), but is obviously selling better than any of the next-gen consoles. PS3 is actually selling quite well, the 80 GB version is outselling the Xbox 360 slightly, which was in stock for the premium version but sold out for the elites. 40 GB PS3 was selling slightly less than the premium 360s as well.
FirstInHell said:Endless Ocean is sold out and did much better than they expected.
AlteredBeast said:As a sidenote, while the 80GB PS3 is the model we sold in these last two weeks. The 40 GB has, on average been outselling the 80GB at my store by a wide-ish margin.

I can attack you if you want?Loudninja said:Its funny how you are the only one who gets attack....

also you have the added condescending ps3 remarks in each thread.
this is just another way to bash the ps3.

I have a serious question for you Hans. How hard is it to not let your fanboy rage fly like you do under your other name? Do you have a Jekyll and Hyde personality? It's really amusing how you try to come off as not so biased here, but those that really know what you think see right through it.Snah said:Just calling it like I see it. It's not supposed to be fully representative.
AlteredBeast said:ZealousD - did one of your managers tell you that? Was it a company-wide memo? I wonder why Target is so far off the ball on discontinuing the 80GB version.
squatingyeti said:Thank god he doesn't agree with you. Otherwise we'd know he is doing something very wrong.

rikitikitik said:Is it wrong if I read these threads more for the crying than for the numbers? :lol
It will be meltdown funny either way whether they outsell Wii/360 or not come NPD day, judging from the embittered fanboys in this thread. :loldork said:(work at gamestop also) We have been sold out of 360's since christmas, same with ds's and wiis. Sony is going to outsell the competition by default.
Thanks for the numbers Jewbacca.Jewbacca said:PS3 Hardware $49k
PS3 Software $29k
PS2 Hardware $49k
PS2 Software $143k
Middle of the company store
PS3 Hardware $32k
PS3 Software $25k
PS2 Hardware $24k
PS2 Software $165k
Console skus are combined in these numbers.
They are just rejecting it now. When the tide turns, you will see lots of Sony fans in these threads.ZealousD said:Nope. It's strange to me why people would reject anecdotal evidence from a variety of sources so passionately. It's as if they don't like the truth and it's easier to deny it if it doesn't come from NPD or MC.
Arde5643 said:Thanks for the numbers Jewbacca.
PS3 hardware numbers doesn't seem to be inline with what the latest musings have been saying although this might be related to these numbers not covering week 4 and week 5 of Jan.
It's crazy how much PS2 software is outselling even 360 software though (although Wii is outselling PS2 with no problem). Of course, this might be because it's a family store like Target instead of a gamer focused store like Gamestop.
