The PS3 tumbles from 21 008 units last week to 14 934 units. The PS2 sells 9 930 units (10 429 last week) and the Xbox 360 limps along with 1 744 units (2 891 units last week.)
Is demand slowing?
it is in the uk they have started advertising now theres a first
Wii always had most demand here in the U.S. for like the past year. You can walk into a Japan store and buy Wiis.
Are these rough etimates (like Vcharts)?
man the next-gen push in Japan is slowing considerably
it used to be a consistent 35,000 for the PS3 and 5,000 for the 360- meaning 40,000 next-gen units sold in total
now however, that's gone down to 15,000
i guess WKS and FF should sort that out
