Since when does GAF have the ultimate say in what is, and isn't, a failure? It just thinks it does. Its like Mother Brain from Metroid, but in the end, it usually gets a super missile to its face.

80K is the difference between victory and defeat but you should know that , c'mon.
I wouldn't label it success or failure either way because (IMO) success not only depends on how well the console sells, but also how would it be supported by Sony, third party software vendors, etc. Sales is but one factor. Having deep pockets is another.chespace said:

I think if PS3 doesn't sell more than 500k, then it's probably screwed for the rest of the generation.
As for x360 its so strong in America, but it seems like its losing its foothold to the PS3 (in Europe). I say the # that GAF said for x360 would be considered a success.

Just so it can be quoted:
DS obliterates everything. Wii next. 360 after that. PS3 outsold by every other system. However, numbers for all consoles have seen a significant boost, PS3 included.
Nothing even comes close to DS, and Wii has its biggest month in a long time, possibly ever.

Permabans would fly, if the numbers were out there.OmonRa said:
Less than 500k for PS3 IN NOVEMBER, AFTER A PRICEDROP (2nd this year), WITH BIG GAMES LAUNCHING would be bad. Period. Especially highlighting the pricedrop part. Anyone that knows anything about marketing will tell you pricecuts have an intantaneous effect on sales. They boost sales in the short term and generate product diferentiation from the competition. But it isnt long lasting as a sales boost. So yeah. November SHOULD refelct that boost.
Edit: OH and i should add a HUGE add campaign. God god. I see PS3 commercials everywhere on tv.

People paying for numbers didn`t like it that GAF got them first, hence the delay

I think if the PS3 manages to pass or come very close to what the Xbox 360 did last November I think it's a good sign. The average GAF prediction is significantly under that and I think if GAF is right, things haven't changed for Sony. Over 700,000 for the Xbox 360 seems like a successful November in my opinion.
chespace said:
Yeah, but isn't it failure that the PS3 keeps slipping farther behind the 360 regardless of sales numbers? I mean, even if the gap was slim this past month, it's still falling behind more and more.
I personally don't care, because I have all three platforms, but to think that 500k is success with the 360 selling 700k is just a little odd. Sony can't afford to lose the US, no matter how well they're doing at home.

Anyone else get the feeling there's about to be a huge shitstorm here when the numbers are posted? GAFers will cry, laugh, mock and cheer for their various console. Arguments will begin, ban hammers will come crashing down, and at the end of the day, we'll still have the December-side of the holiday season to look forward to next month. :lol

I expect more hilarious non adding up of solus and non-solus GH3 packs by anyone trying to make a point
CrisKre said:
Even more so when Industry People like N'gai as early as January said the PS3 had to hit the 300,000 sales a month average for the year to be successful. if they can barely break the average monthly mark of success to industry people in the holiday period only then they are in trouble.

Yes, I do get the feeling that NPD numbers are being released today and that GAF will respond as per usual.
