250 thousand a week! They are barely selling 200,000 a month in the US.Last month they managed 185,000 for the month .As for japan they average 32,000 a month.
I will peg their monthly sales at 450,000.So they are selling less than half of what they need to do to get to 140 million in 10 years.
Don't forget that the PS2 achieved 130million in 6 years.
lol@ juuken.
where on earth did you get those figures from?When did a 277,000 console lead turn into 1,000,000?

According to Sony fanboys last year, it was that the xbox720 would be released in 2009.
Now it's obvious that it ain't happening and if the rumors of a 360 slim dropping next year end up being real, and i strongly believe will happen, then expect your 2010 prediction to be nothing more than hot air.
Because it was clear as the sun that their previous consoles would continue long after their replacements but this time its a bit different.
1st of all the PS1 and PS2 where massively successful consoles each selling well over a 100 million by the time their replacements arrived.I remember reading an article during the PS1 era stating that Sony was making up to 40% of its revenue from the playstation.
But this time around it is completely different.The PS3 has lost S...
I hope this is not true cause this has been my biggest fear for the next gen systems that they will all catch the WII bug and simply make their respective consoles at most twice as powerful as the existing ones.
I was one of those PS1/Ps2 owner who simply adored the dualshock.The dualshock was amazing when all the games we had were fighting games,adventure,racing,sports and platformers and zero FPS/TPS.
Then post Halo and then the massive influx of FPS onto consoles and flawed position of the analog sticks on the dualshock became glaringly obvious.
The 360 controller is head and shoulders better than the PS3 controller when it comes to FPS/TPS and racing games and only loose...
I was really disappointed to find out that Sony was not going for a re designed dualshock controller for the PS3.The analog sticks are placed in a far less optimal position than the 360's controller and are way to soft.
I prefer the addition of triggers replacing the L2 and R2 but they still feel tacked on and awkwardly placed.
The PS3 controller only scores top marks for its fantastic D-pad.Apart from that i really don't like it.Personally i feel they should have go...

you forgot to add Star Ocean 4.
I am really digging those themed accessories.Even the avatars are really growing on me.
This is definitely a step in the right direction.
It was announced around 4 months ago.There is a trailer available
http://www.gametrailers.com...
It has nice art direction.
Yeah forgot about that,TGS should be interesting.But don't forget Mistwalker's next project for the 360 is in development and they have posted a few artworks this year.

That game as well as Blue Dragon 2 could possible be unveiled at TGS next month.
I know that its all speculation but all i am saying is that if WKS will be released say spring next year, t...
I care about console sales especially those of the PS3 and 360 because they are the true next gen consoles available.And if they fail then expect the PS4 and xbox720 to be nothing more than the current gen with a ram upgrade and a waggle controller, with Cooking mama type games mostly.
Secondly i have never been a JRPG player but after reluctantly given Lost Odyssey a try and loving it to bits i simply want more.And if the 360 is successful in Japan then you know that Microsoft w...
DOn't you think that if the PS3 had games like Ace Combat,Infinite Undiscovery and Tales of versperia launch after the price cut that the PS3 will still be selling consoles in high 20,000 to mid 30,000 till this day.
The truth is that the japanese want a PS3 almost as much as a wii and far more than they want a 360.But they want JRPG's more than anything else.SO if the PS3 that they want so much can not deliver on that front, then expect them to move to the console that is more o...
Just watched the trailer.It does not tell us anything about what the game could be.Apart from the fact that it's based on earth
1 minute left
Hell must be freezing over as we speak.Anyway good numbers for Microsoft.If they can sustain numbers within the 13,000 - 16,000 mark on weeks like this that there where no RPG's released , then they will be looking at doubling their install base in japan by august next year.
I hope info on CRY ON will be released soon and info on a sequel to Blue Dragon.Hopefully TGS.
Same here.I will get Fable 2 on day 1 but will get Fallout 3 either Christmas or in January.
Meus where did you get those numbers from?The previous european 360 price cut never saw an increase in sales by 250% but by 40% which is similar to the 32% they are reporting now.

The skyline is actually the best one, that was very impressive.Because of this article i just checked back to the auction house in Forza 2 just to check what was on offer and it really is impressive what gamers can do with the right tools.
I wish i was this creative or i wish i new someone who could at least show me how to use the tools to achieve some better designs because my designs are pretty basic.
