You're not a true gamer is you believe such bullshit.

Sony needs to keep hacking away at the price as the production costs come down. It should sell even better from here on on out unless they do something incredibly stupid (again).

Call of Duty 4 is a monster. I wish they'd just let Infinity Ward develop releases for every other year instead of following a great game up with a turd sequel this fall.

Acutally, fuck it. I want the WII to go back to dominating by a huge margin just so that we don't have to read so many Kittonwy posts.

The games will come no matter whose name is on the console.
Too much sense in this post






Get out.

You're over-simplifying. Not all Wii games have "waggle", and some PS3 and even X360games have it.

What?

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.

Did you not play the same Trauma Center as the rest of us?

And don't forget that Resistance: Fall of Man, Heavenly Sword, Guitar Hero and Rock Band all go on it.

I'm sorry, did you just equate "tilting the guitar" with "waggle"?

I knew these numbers would bring out the crazy, but man alive!

We're talking about message board categorisations, so the negative is always the overiding factor. There are no hybrids. You are not a real gamer.

Sometimes I wish I had a sarcasm meter. :(

Weird that even when Sony comes out on top, the Sony fans go into defensive mode. They are sales thread noobs so they don't know what to do with themselves, they been out of the NPD game for so long it's like they are seeing a boob for the first time.

1 year does not erase 2 generations of experience :)

Have you even been reading this thread?
 
Wow, PS3 almost 30% more than expected!

Very good, Sony.

Also, 11% more than January 2007. Great.

It seems the months of <100k for the PS3 are finally over :D

Where´s that gif BTW?

17 fucking pages? I didnt read past the OP, but Ill take a whild guess and say its 17 pages of OMFG Wii FAD IS OVER I KNEW IT, which of course seems much more likely than the logical fact that the PS3 was the only system that was in steady supply for the month. Drama queens.

No worries, everything will be normal again next month.

Wii must have been close to outselling the 360 in software again.

159 million at $60 a game = 2 650 000

131 million at $50 a game = 2 620 000

Of course, you've got Rockband sitting at $180 selling 180k copies. But Wii's got quite a few budget priced games, so they probably cancel out.

But still, the "casual Wii gamers don't buy games!" meme is continuing to be shown that it's retarded.

It's going to go down in February. Cancellation of 80GB model will affect sales.

I think just the opposite actually. People are rushing out to buy a 80gb before it's gone, it should give a short-term boost to PS3.

Not really. It's mostly a 360 v. PS3 war right now.

They're already gone. They were all bought out in January.

Nah more on the 360/PS3 than the Wii stuff. Everyone kinda figures the Wii was supply constrained because it's such a beast.

Does anyone think that the a portion of the PS3 numbers can be attributed to Blu-Ray's emergence as the next-gen format? Also, does anyone know what Uncharted and Ratchet put up this month?

I sold my HD-DVD player on Ebay and bought a PS3 the same day as the Warner announcement. Have gotten 6 Blu-Ray Movies and Zero PS3 games so far.

This is definitely encouraging news for Sony but it really is way too early in the piece to be having the sorts of conversations and making the type of statements that were seeing in this thread. Who knows... maybe this 360 shortage will actually be the cause of PS3 outselling 360 this year. If this shortage lasts for more than a couple of months its a very real possibility that Microsoft may lose a lot of customers to Sony. Considering how strong Sonys year is looking right now isnt the best time for Microsoft to be having shortages.

But as I said its way too soon to deduce anything from these number. The next two months will tell the story.

I'm going insane here! Can someone please give us NMH numbers!!??

I don't think we've had any numbers bar the Top 10 at the moment.

I hope when I wake up in the morning there is a smattering of stuff from outside the Top 10, NMH, Burnout PS3 etc...
