If you have yet to buy it, do so. It will reach 500k easily I think.
(No gif rule sucks
no question that it will exceed Capcom's worldwide prediction of 420,000k total.

Wii continues to be the fastest selling US console!

PS3 won't do well until we get a decent price point. The real question is will Sony be desperate enough to do something else later this year.
I don't think that the Wii and PS2 will affect each other much at all. Wii is still about the unique gaming interface and Nintendo games, not the genre's that the PS2 does well at at this point.
I do keep expecting the PS2 to drop just because it's coming up on 8 years old and it still hasn't hit the $99 price point. At $129, it's unprecedented and makes me wonder if $99 will be allow it to last to 10 years or if the floor will drop out from under it because of the lack of compelling (non multiplatform, PSP port) games.

i don't subscribe to the theory that individual game releases have huge impacts on console sales in the american market. during the ps2 generation, the chief drivers of hardware sales over and above existing trends were price drops and holidays. games came, games went, sales remained flat. halo 3 is a pretty big game, which is why my september number holds on to the price drop boost longer than i would have otherwise predicted, but it's not going to have the impact many of you think it will.

Well, they outsold 360 with both PS2 and PSP... that's a point to hammer home.
Against Nintendo? Well... err... ah.

Aside from the Wii's astounding ascention, the figure I find most interesting is the 360's weely average increasing 7% in the wake of the PS3 price cut. I'm crediting NCAA there. In the past, major releases haven't moved 360 sales much at all, so this might be a sign of things to come with the price cut combined with Madden/Bioshock in August. I can see ~300k a possibility, and then comes September.
Even with the first month of the price cut, the PS3 is trending behind where the 360 was last year - Sony can't be too happy about that. It's a good start, but they need to ramp up further. Price is still their major barrier. (Though Japan has shown that the right games can and will move hardware.)

Because obviously me joking about Killzone / Halo hate / hype is much worse than ranting fanboy's proclaiming death / doom of a console / victory of another based on numbers.
People said the same thing about the PSP for ages, that it was 'dead'..."rip PSP".
Guess what? It's still here.
People said the DS was a 'fad'...guess what? It's still here.
basically, there are a lot of members on GAF who are 'extremists". They take everything to the max. "ZOMG, PS3 am fail". Most of the members on this forum, myself included, weren't even AROUND long enough to quote these trends.
It's just amusing, and sad, to see so many people simply conform to a collective and say the same shit we've all been hearing for months on end. PS3 isn't going anywhere, and the Wii isn't a fad. Why is anyone surprised by this?

Slightly cheaper? I thought it was $100 cheaper? Which is currently where the Wii/non-tard 360 is sitting at.

Surely the high 360 sales could be explained by the fact that MS confirmed the 3 year warranty for RROD at the start of July, giving a lot of security in a 360 buy (a few GAFfers said they would buy a 360 after that announcement) and the extra heatsink included in new/repaired units? Probably gave consumers a bit more confidence in buying a 360 if they held off from one before due to reliability etc.

Wow at PS3. The seperation is only going to get worse into early '08 in N.A..

Remember the halcyon days of this generation's youth, when Sony was believed to be able to sell 5 million units at $600 without any games?
What happened to those days?
Seriously, though, who needs funny images when spin is just as funny?

well, i think the success of the wii will help the ps2 keep truckingl. porting to the ps2 from the wii (or vice versa) is going to make a ps2 version of a game pretty appealing financially so long as the software continues to sell.sonycowboy said:
for example, if Capcom did make RE5 for the wii, it'd be pretty easy for them to also make a ps2 version. ps2 sales are imho only helped by the runaway success of the wii.

Wii Play can be explained away by the number of ebayers who sell the system with "two" controllers and "14" games.

They probably know how much they've sold in advance- they can squirm all they want but Sony PR really must be laughing at their job.laserbeam said:

Wii sales are just amazing... killing off the DS sales pretty much messed up everyone's predictions for this month.

First things first for Sony, once the 60 gb runs out (who really knows when this will happen), they will have to drop the 80 gb to $500 without hesitation. Keep Motorstorm in there and pack in Spider Man 3 blu ray movie to teach the consumer about Blu ray. A pack in game and movie would do well in getting the consumer's attention.
Another $50 price break should also be considered. $100 off would be a bit soon, considering they dropped recently. I'd also expect to see retail specific deals for the PS3 like we saw last year with xbox (toysrus gift cards, circuit city/best buy/target free game or controller, etc.).

7% is hardly anything interesting.
About the 360 selling 1 million in September, I think it would be pretty bad if 360 didn't at least outsell Wii in September.
I'm curious to see if Nintendo puts a few more systems in the channel to combat Halo 3.
