enough beating around the bush! We got European sales, Japan sales, hell even CANADIAN sales (no offense). Where's the US sales, man.

Give me. I want to see it.

Edit:

You hear that, next week? Yeah, you. Hurry the $#@! up.

Edit 2:

Aright. Well, in that case: Yo, tomorrow? Yeah, you. Hurry the #$@! up.

Just x10 all those number and you will roughly get the US numbers..

canada 30 million people USA 300 million

I have to admit, I'm rather excited to see how the price cut impact of the PS3 on a long-term basis so the October and November NPD sales figures will be especially interesting.

Considering that, the expected sub-standard (low) hardware sales it has had in September, considering its previous price point and the excellent value of Xbox 360 (with Halo 3) I find these figures rather underwhelming and in comparison, not indicative of the presence of these consoles in their respected territories.

I think people were surprised the affect the price drop had, in just 3 days, in Europe with the PS3 selling that recently released weekly figure. I'm sure we'll see a similar impact globally once North America gets its price cut + bundles.

I'm just saying, using September NPD numbers, which are expected to be very positive for Microsoft, as a derogative tool against the PS3 is not really justified considering that we all know the console is selling well at this moment. Naturally, for the total and overall sales it is relevant but before anyone disagrees, I said " ... as a derogative tool against the PS3 is not really justified" e.g. PS3 is dead chants.

and x360 had no nextgen rivals for 1 year and also had AA game geow by that time.

now PS3 with rivals, and with start in europe by the end of march, for first week of october sold around 5 mln. consoles worldwide.
it`s still has 2 month to get 1 mln. worlwide.
+ AA games like Ratchet and Uncharted have not been released yet.
+ Same goes for GT5:prologue.

+ Also Haze might have some potential, and we shouldn`t forget UT3. =)

Everyone down here loves 360. I have a lot of friends who bought it this month for Halo 3 alone, but don't know anybody who bought a PS3 this month, for any reason. And even though I expected 360 to outsell PS3, I never expected it to outsell Wii.

Heavenly Sword does not appear in the top software sales list. It was released in September so I thought (even in Canada) that it would place at least 7th or 10th? The only PS3 title that cracks the most sold list was NHL 08. I know Canadians love their hockey.

and I still love being 3rd place this generation.
Soo many fanboys are hoping I will still blow 360 out of the water.
=)
I just tell them I have Blu-Ray and Cell and Six axis.
automatically these fanboys will fall for it.

Geeze Xbots, what do you expect?
No ones going to buy a PS3 the month BEFORE the price drop. Derrrrrrr, we all knew it was coming.

And of course Xbox outsold PS3. Its Halo month. Your Christmas. I'm actually surprised it was by so little

I remember sometime back the ps2 campaign had a byline saying welcome to the 3rd place or soemthing. I guess they saw the future of ps3.

"But it's the truth and Numbers dont lie. PS3 Outselling 360 WORLDWIDE with America being the exception."

It's funny how you are never around when the numbers continue to prove you wrong.

They also exhibit quite similar behaviors in buying video games. Look at candian numbers and multiply by 10 as said above and you should have a fairly close estimate of U.S. numbers for september. That would mean the following:

360 512000
DS 450000
Wii 429000
PS2 220000
PS2 165000
PS3 156000
GBA 86000

It's just a guess, of course, but that's what it would look like if 10X were true...

The real problem with PS3 in canada right now is price and advertising. After they get the price down it will sell. No surprise that 360 did so good, a lot of people are buying it just for halo 3. Advertising for halo 3 was huge.

It's gonna be the same in the US. Yes, sales are that high because of Halo 3, but that's not an excuse. PS3 is still getting outsold massively.

PS3 has pricing issues to sort out and they have to hope for their own killer app. There will be better dayz.

September was squeezed between 2 blockbuster 360 titles. Bioshock and Halo 3. Of course the 360 is going to outsell the PS3 in the US and Canada. Even in the EU where the 360 has been beating the PS3 it significantly boosted that sales gap even more.

Lets see how October turns out. I want to see if the 360 can beat the Wii in monthly US/Canada sales for another month. I wonder hif this is a sign of the Wii slowing down.

November will be in interesting month because that will be the first month that all 3 terretories will have the new 40GB PS3 and it's significant price reduction. Thats going to be the real test. Can the PS3 beat the 360 in US/Canada sales in November. Can the PS3 beat the Wii in Japan sales.

It so funny watching sonykids squirm, I remember in the last couple of months prior to Halo3's release tons of sonykids constantly saying Halo3 would have good sales but it wouldn't have much impact on hardware sales, ha ha now these same haters are saying "well of course we expected Halo3 to boost sales"= just stfu sonykids, I'm so sick of you fking whining, complaining, and fking double standards= ps3 is getting raped, the 40gb will boost ps3 sales but will it be sustained through the holidays against the 360 that more and more consumers are realizing is the best GAMING CONSOLE hands down=

JOY

Only need to look at my avatar :D

I wouldn't, especially when projected sales did indicate they got outsold in both Japan and Europe last week, only weeks after Halo 3 was released.

That would alarm me just a little, considering this is a console war that will last for years.

I don't flip flop. I just stay honest.

it seems as the wii fever is dying out... slowly dropping...
Once the wii drops to record low... what can Nintendo do to boost sells again? It's obvious that price will not be an issue.. so dropping the price will not really make a difference... soon.. when people wake up from the spell nintendo casted on people with the wiimote... what can Nintendo do.. to make people buy their consoles... it's true what lots of people said... Nintendo wii will not have any effect against the PS3 or the xbox 360 sells... if anything it will help.. because those new gamers will probably upgrade to a next gen console.. if the wii convinced them that games are "fun".

Anyways... based on the comments of "certain" people.. will not say.. cause trying to lay low... [SONY FANBOYS!!!!!]... sorry... I couldn't help it... they are betting that the $400 SKU will change everything and make people run an get the PS3... When in europe things indicate that the SKU that was selling it was the 60GB SKU... because people fear that SOny will remove all B.C. from the PS3... and the $400 SKU is just not selling as well...

Not for nothing... but something tells me... the $400 SKU and dropping the B.C.. is Sony's strategy to force people into buying the most expesive SKUs... smart... lol... seems to be working... But it does not guarantee it will last..

Sony still have to deal with these undeniable facts:

XBox 360 new SKU will come with 2 Games.
XBox 360 are still cheaper...
XBox 360 more games (Specially now without B.C).
Microsoft can drop the xbox 360 another $50.00.
Xbox 360 is console to own if for 3rd party games available in both consoles.
Not everyone buying PS3 is buying it to play games.. Infecting the PS3 installbase with owners that bring no benefit to 3rd party dev.. and bringing down the software attach rate.. like companies using the PS3 as servers.. and people buying the PS3 to watch blu-ray movies..

It's obvious now.. what Sony's strategy was... mixing all markets.. business computers... movie industry... and gaming.. until they make it impossible for partners to know what the target audience is and if they can make money... game developers can't tell if their games will sell.. since companies using the PS3 to host website will not play games... or people looking for a low cost blu-ray player that have no interest in games... or movie studios.. can't tell if people owning the PS3 will buy movies .. and companies using PS3 as servers care about movies... Smart... clever... but with time.. it will become obvious to these 3rd party partners.. if the Playstation 3 attack rate translates to revenue.. sadly.. lots of them will get burn.. and lose money before they really get to know.

Duhh.. price will move consoles... but Sony needs to fix those fundamental problems... before it can have a long lasting or they will start bleeding developers, exclusives and games in general.

At the end of the day.... If a console fails to deliver the games... it fails as a console.

The same can't be said about the xbox 360... because it beats the PS3 at the core... Price... Games.

What a shame. Heavenly Sword is pretty much forgotten now, considering the amount of HS adverts shown in UK (far more than halo 3).

77k to 42k???

It was only one week? Do the research please. Did people forget that 360 got a price drop in Europe not to long ago also?

Once the 60GB is sold out sales will slump? What?? We don't even know what Sony will do after it's sold out.

Halo 3 is out and PS3 is still hanging in there. They have everything ahead of them, High Defintion era is just starting. They have the most fit console with HD playback and no giant grey power outlet hanging out.

It was a bumpy road, but they're still intact. I don't see the PS3 going anywhere.

Sony still holds the last card as their console is still more expensive than XBOX 360. And there's nothing XBOTS can do to stop it!
