3% of 1 million is 30000.
3% of 100 is 3.

Moral of the story, you don't have enough information to say whether or not 3% is measly. But if I was to play the same game as you, is 2% (difference between all Sony's platforms versus Microsoft's one) measly?.......and what would be the overall combined install base of the ps2, ps3, and psp? Now of course, this does not give the breakdown of how many titles was released on each platform.

You have to admit, it is a little odd to see that the 360 is only at 3% more than the PS3. I would have expected there to be a greater lead. A lead more towards the 5 to 7 percent range.

@traveller.

Perhaps you need to learn you maths.
If the PS3 is at 21 mill.
And the 360 is at 28 million, thats 28/21 or 33% more.
If the Ps3 sold 13% on their sales, 33% more of that is 17.2%.
So the 360 platofrm should have sold aorund 17%
OMG they failed by 1%!!!

Not exactly the dire picture you would like to paint is it?

And PS3 numbers are strong last year because of Haze.

In what world are Sony's numbers bad?

PSP and PS2's low numbers is no suprise, as Ubi pretty much havent released anything on those two platforms for the first quarter of this year...

PS3 numbers are pretty darn close to the 360 numbers even with 7 mill less consoles on the market.

I don't know what Ubisoft was expecting from the first 2 quarters... I don't see a single good game released by them this year (even last year, I can only recall POP which sold marginally well)... The only game I see that will see well is Assassin's Creed 2.. SC is going to be released next year, so there goes their chance to earn profit..

Don't expect much this year Ubisoft. Although the 2nd half looks better than the first (mainly due to one game), I don't expect it to sell COD or GTA numbers especially since it will land near Uncharted 2, MW2 and ODST...

I'll just answer that by posting what I wrote in the gamer zone.

That's largely because the 360's numbers from last year’s first quarter were so low.

PS3 = 21%
360 = 9%

These numbers change all the time. It really depends on what games have been released in the quarter.

All in all though, the PS3 numbers are very good. 21% last year and 13% this year for the PS3, compared to 9% last year and 16% this year for the 360. Not bad for a console that has 3/4 the installed base of the 360.

If you add the numbers from last year's first quarter and this year's first quarter we see that the PS3 contributed a total of 34%, while the 360 contributed only 25%.

The fact is, in these two quarters the PS3 has made more revenue for Ubisoft than the 360 has. Which is especially impressive considering the lower number of PS3s there are in the world.

In short all sony sales are down.
Nintendo and 360 are up in sales.
360> wii> Fartstation 3

Only one conclusion its to be made, the PS3 its the inferior platform on everything except for the blu g@y and the massive pink dildo dedicated to the PS3 population.

@Jason 360, that was not fair he knows how to read, just can't comprehend, nor write.
