are u worried after seeing X360's September sales? It was just 100k above ps3 despite costing half as much as a ps3 and the CHEAPEST console in the market
i would love to see your response when LBP unleashes its wrath on console sales this October. I would love to see u respond to numbers when X360's SPIKE fades away in October
sorry the figures were not very pleasing considering that the surge was due to a SPIKE with your console being the cheapest in the market. That number for September is infact a little worrying
You never know . Its sales have slowed in Japan and europe. Just wait for the ps3 to go down in price and u will see what happens.
However with LBP ps3 can instantaneously win casual crowd. Like i said see October sales before making a judgement.
For mS nothing remains since the LAST TRUMP CARD was played and it wasnt that effective even in terms of a monthly SPIKE in sales
PS3 has outsold the x360 in global sales last month too. Plus x360 outselling ps3 is just a temporary thing due to PRICE CUT. It was just a spike which worked just for a month in USA
However we will see who wins October . With LBP on PS3's side the winner is almost given even in USA
September sales were awesome even without a major game and the month where x360 had a major price drop.
October will be a stellar month for ps3 sales thanks to lBP. That will be a massive HW sales booster all around the world and that includes US--territory where there is still a 3 headed battle for supremacy
with such a lineup spearheaded by LBP and the new 160 gig bundle ps3 will enjoy a fabulous holiday this 08 in USA.
I am curious to see the impact LBP makes. I know it will be huge all over the world
It is oncourse to crush x360 in Fall in terms of global sales
PS3 will win US this Fall too . Now SONY has a better lineup to stimulate sales
as for x360 nothing remains. with a price point of 200$ the SPIKE couldnt boost the x360 HW sales by more than 100k for September
imagine x360 sales in October when LBP launches. If you still think x360 has any chance in console war then you are living in fools paradise
On a side not u will be seeing sales in...
The price cut will boost sales but just for a SINGLE MONTH in US. What will happen when LBP is launched?where will x360 be? x360 doesnt have enough sws to counter ps3's lineup for fall
ps3 is oncourse to beat x360 this fall. dont jump on the price cut as it will provide just a temporary spike only in USA.
PS3 will beat x360 comfortably in global sales in Fall. But with lbp and resistance 2/motorstorm 2 i wont be surprised if ps3 ends up beating x360 in usa at 2x the ...
PS3 doesnt need price cut to counter x360.
After LBP's launch SONY would boast of outselling x360 by order of magnitudes in europe and Japan. Like last year they would boast of outselling x360 in global monthly sales
However this time ps3 is oncourse to outsell x360 in USA in Fall. especially with such a lineup it is very much possible that ps3 outsells x360 in nov/dec in US ..yea in US too
@jay
economic backdrop wont have an impact on console sales.It ...
and no with a price cut x360 couldnt outsell ps3 in europe.
It is a SPIKE and PS3 will get one in October
If you are MS then you shuld be very worried.
However trends will be reversed in October when PS3 gets a SPIKE due to LBP.
How big a SPIKE?
dont know but could be very big
In worldwide sales PS3 won in September no doubt as the european difference is too big to be offsetted by 115k margin in US
as for Japan ps3 will win there in October and beyond when software satrts coming in
115k is not a VERY GOOD lead especially with enormous price cuts
In oCtober ps3 will win it in US thanks to LBp
at 1/2 the pricepoint +month of price cut that isnt a very good sign
sales of x360 will be decreasing the october as the SPIKE fades away. However LBP will give PS3 a small SPIKE too.
dont be surprised if trends are exactly reversed in October with PS3 winning in November and December
thats not a spin. You realize that the SPIKE wasnt significant even at 200$ and 2x the price as competition. It wont be the same this month and ps3 will be getting a SPIKE due to LBP
That is a worrying sign for MS. Please dont spin that.
And PS3's sales have actually increased too
@pudding
LBP will give PS3 a spike of 100k too. make no mistake there
@people below
347k is not good when ur console is 1/2 the price as competition.
Pl...
that is still bad considering that x360 costs as low as 179$
It was just a spike. Imagine October sales where PS3 will have a smiliar spike due to LBP
at 200$ + month with price cut where u have a temporary SPIKE that is a bad sign indeed. PRICE CUT was the last trump card in MS hands
@mart
where did u get the 6m figure. It is 3m/4m behind x360 in global sales. last i know it overtook x360 in Japan and europe.
dont make numbers from your asss
...
but i must say that MS should be definitely worried. The SPIKE has faded away by now and LBP will do wonders for PS3 this October. MS should be worried as PRICE CUT was the last trump card they had
you do realize that it was a SPIKE and will be down to normal this month. X360 in October will have a very hard time dousing the LBP flame.
Price cut was the LAST AND LEAST trump card MS could use. SONY should be smiling and MS should be worried with these results
especially when x360 costs just 200$ and it is the month which will show you a SPIKE.
SONY should be releaxed and is definitely oncourse to beat x360 in October
It is not that significant a leap when you are the cheapest console in the market. MS should be worried since SONY has LBP for October
plus also during the month where x360 had a price cut ..massive price cut + Rock Band 2 being released on it.
You will be witnessing LBP's onslaught within a few days. I would love to see you respond to October NPD
