People don't really acknowledge the Ps2, but honestly how much pure profit have they made off of this thing? I don't know what the future holds for Ps3, but Sony definitely has to be making some insane money from these Ps2 numbers.

I'll give props where they're due.
Sony did a lot better this month then I expected. I didn't expect the PS3 to sell over 200,000 units, let alone 30,000 units off of 300,000.
If they can keep this level of interest until March I think we can safely say that PS3 sales have leveled off at a higher level then they were.

That would likely mean another month of Wii software > 360 software. Assuming a flat $60 for 360 games and $50 for Wii games (which is ignoring higher values for Rock Band 360 and lower values for cheaper Wii games), it would be 2.65 million games for 360 and 2.62 million for Wii.kurosawa said:

Come now. For months "Sony backers" have heard nothing other than Sony is teh doomed. Can you not give them a few hours at least to celebrate one impressive month of PS3 sales before pissing on their parade with unsubstantiated "reality checks".
(I say unsubstantiated because we have no way of knowing for certain whether the 360 was actually supply-constrained or whether it's MS spin)

Thats the problem with demand-supply-shortages. Imagine two shortage situattions. One you meet 95% of demmand, the other you meet only 50%, the general symptoms are the same, but they are very different situattions.
Also, when its not that severe, people will try another day, another store, even get a different bunddle, but they'll get what they want.
300k seems like possible, but the 360 outselling the Wii? I'm not that sure.
Like i said, it whouln't change much the big picture.

It's going to go down in February. Cancellation of 80GB model will affect sales. Sales will probably be down until MGS4, and even then we don't know what kind of bump that'll be.

Anybody have that image of the crazy stick figure drawing that PS3 number skyward? :lol

You're over-simplifying. Not all Wii games have "waggle", and some PS3 and even X360games have it.
So before you make such a claim, I want to see numbers for all software titles, sorted by waggle. Don't forget to leave Trauma Center and Fire Emblem off the waggle list, for example. And don't forget that Resistance: Fall of Man, Heavenly Sword, Guitar Hero and Rock Band all go on it.
Then go cry in a corner, because "waggle" is here to stay.

What leaps out at me is the PS2. The 360, Wii, and PS3 all have had a full year of improving lineups (and dropping prices on some), the machine is over 6 years old, and has had no intervening price drop. . .and yet it still improves its sales numbers! Man, that thing never quits.Leondexter said:

You certainly are obsessed with me. Unfortunately, I'm nothing like you and I'm not going to throw a fit. In fact, I said the PS3 will outsell the 360 this month when the word of shortages came about. However, keep hoping there are more people like you, I believe you might want to follow your hero snah.

So I guess Sony can expect to outsell 360 by 39 k like 1000 times until they finally catch up in NA???
Please, this is hardly meltdown worthy, January is meaningless.

Yeah, I "get it". But it's kind of stupid to celebrate getting 2nd place because you almost caught up to the guy that tripped and fell. That's what I'm saying. Get it?
If sales can "only go up", then save the cake for victory.

Given the installed bases, I'd say that that's great news for PS3, and the same for Wii and 360. ($16.94 for each 360, $17.13 for each Wii, and $22.78 for each PS3 - using rounded HW numbers)
