ps3 is pathetic in the us

i doubt either gt5:p or mgs4 will break the top 5

360 is almost just as pathetic but at least it has got a userbase and one that buys a lot of games even though 99.9% of them are pure shit

and its pretty mindboggling how something i care so little about (nintendo) is selling sooooo well

Exactly. The Wii is making money for Nintendo, no one else. Look at those software numbers; four huge third party sellers for the 360 in the top ten. I totally agree, UT3 would have been huge on the 360. I can't wait until it comes out in fact because it'll still sell well

It was already obvious the shortages were real from the 5 links I posted to onilne retailers who were sold out back in Feb when ToxicAdam and abrader tried to say it was all XBot spin. Of course, they were ignoring the reports of shortages that were starting in December, well before anything needed to be spun in the first place.

What's your theory as to why Sony went from leading by 40k to being down by 5k? Hans says PS3 is in shortage :lol edit: 80GB seems to be. Is that discontinued, or are they just phasing out the Motorstorm bundle in favor of a standalone?

Isn't this LO's 2nd month?  And it still sold twice as much as Hot Shots.  Calcifier am suicidal. 

why? twice as much as nothing is still nothing

both 360 and ps3 fucking sucks.. the only difference between the two is that nothing is selling on ps3 and crap is selling on 360 and tbh i cant say which is worse

only a fool would support either system as far as gaming systems go

at least ps3 have got blu-ray going for it tho

im officially done with console gaming this gen

Actually what I said was that there should be a HUGE bump in sales from all the pent up demand (if there was indeed a shortage). So, yea ... there was a small bump in sales, but not as large as you would expect given the length of the shortage and the lowered sales for those months.

Not that any of it matters. Neither company is in an enviable position right now. Both have major problems that won't be resolved for the entire generation.

PS3 games are selling in accordance to installed base. The top 10 obfuscates that fact and people don't take it into account because they assume PS3 games aren't selling just because they aren't in the top 10. It's not true.

If 360 and PS3 are $299 by the end of this year they can reclaim a good portion of the old PS2 base. if those two idiot companies keep pushing this luxury HD shit then they can forget about it.

Also, GTA.

They're doing as good as $400-600 consoles were going to do.

Also, I really doubt PS3 sold through 1.9M pieces of software with only 220k in the top 10. Shipped total. A year old console doesn't have enough cheapo-game padding to have those kind of sales fly under the radar, I don't think.

MS is definitely primed to hit $299 sooner rather than later. It totally befuddles me that they didn't do it last year, or haven't done it this month. But Sony went nuts on it last year so who knows what they're willing to do this year.

Though if they stay within 20k of 360 monthly in the US through October I doubt they'll feel much pressure to drop. Japan doesn't matter and Europe is healthy so maybe MS will actually get their time in the spotlight at $299.

Other than the RROD problems, MS is probably quite happy with themselves.  The 360 has done much better than the Xbox, especially in terms of software sales.  MS's image is too tech-geekish for it to draw in the Wii crowd.

:piss wii :piss2

i've actually enjoyed mario, no more heroes, and ghost squad (despite hardware issues), but i can't think of anything i'm looking forward to either. nintendo themselves have gone full on casual -- their alleged games this year are just castrations of the fighting and racing genres respectively. you figure third parties have got to pay some attention to a console that's selling like that, but somehow they've managed to neglect that grim necessity. bless their hearts

Since getting rid of my CRT TV, I've barely played the WII.  

MP3 and SMG were both well made games but I just couldn't get into them because of how terrible they looked on my LCD monitor or TV.  I couldn't finish Zelda:TP for that same reason.  

The only reason why I made it past 1/3 of Zelda:TP was because I still had a CRT TV while playing it.    

I know Nintendo was saving money but couldn't they have at least included a HD capable GPU?  Even the Xbox was capable of rendering a few games in 720P.

calcifier is ribbing us

I spent this weekend with the Wii as my only source of gaming and wanted to end my life. Sega Bass Fishing was fun, and playing IMPOSSIBLE MISSION was great. But I have a Dreamcast and a C64 emulator.

Wii is the perfect console for people who want to own a video game console but not play it.

Calcifier, what's a Blu-raystation?  Did you just sell your PS3 gaming related stuff but kept the system itself as a Blu-ray player?
