The week ending April 4, 2009 ended the day before the DSi launched in the Americas. So even though the market is down compared to last week and last April, the incoming DSi launch should insure the video game market in the Americas rises above April 2008 levels after a brief drop this week. Given the games released in that period – like Grand Theft Auto IV and Mario Kart Wii – it is quite impressive that the video game industry continues to grow.
Wii - 155,575
DS - 148,998
X360 - 71,546
PS3 - 63,898
PSP - 52,579
PS2 - 36,651
trust vgchart buts if these numbers a true or almost correct then 360 wow managed to outsell ps3 by only 8k. the pricecut affect is not helping so much now.
Kz2, MLB etc still aren't enough for the ps3 to outsell the 360. Whats it going to take?
i love the way things are going for the ps3 at the moment.i'm not a fanboy or anything because im a gamer and i own all the systems. i prefer the ps3 for a lot of reason because i know the pros and cons about all the systems. i love games and gaming technology and ps3 reign supreme in all areas with a blu ray player , wifi and a lot of others.
the ps3 will only go up in sales because its so future proof. the rest of the consoles dont have that luxury because their tech is already a bit dated which isnt a bad thing but it will continue to hinder them over the next few years.the ps3 can play blu ray cds which is just in its infancy after winning the format war so as people buy hd teles, the ps3 will sell more and more.
the ps3 is the most reliable system also and it has the best looking exclusive games when it comes to graphics and technology in games. i love that the ps3 is selling quite well compared to the system that is in direct competition with it while costing more. its 3 times the price of an xbox 360 in some parts of europe and its twice the price of the xbox in the usa and japan. the ps3 is doing quite well and i love it because i want a quality system to do good while the online service is lag free and not costing anything.
ps. the talon stands for taleneted
im wondering if there are actually any poeple that buy the 199 360.. i mean i always go for the more expensive one just cause i want that harddrive. Either way i feel as though sony is third this generation no matter what, but not saying they lost. I think that the numbers sold are so close that no one is really a loser.
Oh and nothing is "future proof" for anyone to say the ps3 is... thats just a catch phrase. If microsoft were to release a new console this year... sony would have no choice but to follow up with a new console as soon as possible. You say that other consoles tech is outdated... but from what perspective.. each console has a more advanced peice. Sony has a cell processor and blue ray... microsoft has a 3 core with hyper threading processor with a more powerful graphics card. Wii has redifined controllers with their technology. Its just a different route taken.
