Low hardware numbers are not surprising, April is historically the worst month, year in, year out. The Wii number stands out in that although it once again easily trounces the competition, it is not astronomically high. Perhaps demand is finally levelling off? I don't believe there were any supply issues.

Bocsius · « **Reply #13 on:** May 14, 2009, 08:32:48 PM »

That's true.

Every day but one in any given month: A 360 is going to cost you $300 + at least $200 more for 4 years of Live + $100 for wireless. So it's really $600. Might as well buy a PS3 at $399.
NPD Day: What did you expect? 360 is only half the price of PS3.

It's pretty sad for MS when their $199 console can't outsell a $400 console by a large margain.

It's time for MS to announce a new console before the next Ps3 pricedrop hits.

And the Wii hw sales dropped the most, relatively speaking.

given what has happened with sales of the X360 after price drops, why is there this assumption that a PS3 price drop will send its sales into the stratosphere?

Because in the end, a Playstation console is more popular than a MS console.

Both consoles are selling at the same pace worldwide. One being $199, the other being $399.

Why is that?

sony are only forecasting 3million more units than last year, where they sold 10million. they can't be expecting much from a price drop so I'm thinking it has to be $349, or a very late year $299

I like NPD as its the one time that everyone agrees that the X360 costs $199 and not $380 because that's how much you have to pay to really have the machine do what it's supposed to.

Especially since every single month it's pointed out that the average transaction price for a 360 console is $270 or more.

Yea it seems that their game division actually lost less money compared to the last time (more than half) and a price drop could push it up again. But the new numbers could be hard to follow since it should be the debut of the whole "Entertainment Division" thing.

We'll see what happens though.

Funny thing is that Wii+Wii fit+Wii play costs nearly 400$ and people are buying it like crazy.

The question is:Do people feel that PS3 is worth 400$?
Obviously not

Last time PS3 was at 120-130k it had 600$ price tag and now 200$ cheaper goes back to the same spot.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #48 on:** May 15, 2009, 03:03:28 AM »

The system still needs to be a part of the high end CE market, so the Nintendo route probably isn't a realistic one. But I do doubt we will see many more projects of the KZ2 sort. Ideally (unrealistic, of course) MS and Sony would get over themselves and partner up. And hey, maybe avoid new media formats for a while. I don't care much if there is no PS4, but I'd like to see companies like Sucker Punch and certain internal teams stay well funded and with some freedom to do what they want.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #49 on:** May 15, 2009, 03:09:24 AM »

Well, what I'm getting at is that they need the power bit, or it won't be of much value to their other product lines, like TV and sound systems. But as long as they stay away from Proprietary Dream Engines and Extra HD physical media, it should be doable.

Yes, Sony always has way too much proprietary tech in their consoles. If you are familiar with economics, they have a high asset specificity in comparison to MS when it comes to Williamson's model

Sony is done for.

MGS4 didn't help them, LBP didn't help them, Killzone 2 didn't help them and FF13 is multiplatform eitherway. I don't even count shit like Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, Lair etc.

They don't have their own blockbuster hits like Microsoft had Halo 3 or Gears of War 2.

3rd party games not only bomb horrendously on PS3 but they are also an afterthought for publishers - Fallout 3, Orange Box, BioShock etc.

When you have your most hyped, beloved, advertised, AAA+ titles struggle to reach 1M copies sold and other AAA titles struggling to move beyond 300K you know you knee deep in feces.

And to think this is all coming from the hegemony era of PS2 where Sony was untouchable.

Un-fucking-believable.

It's really not that bad dude. Konami just revealed that MGS4 sold 4.7 million copies. Most of the other hyped Sony games, while not breaking the bank, sold respectable amounts. Killzone 2 and LittleBigPlanet can still be seen on many PAL charts and will definitely end up selling at least 3 million copies each, without counting the future Greatest Hits releases and other such discounts. Other games like Ratchet & Clank and Uncharted sold like 1.5 million copies each, made some profit and have sequels coming up this year. Infamous and Heavy Rain will probably meet the same fate.

Third party games definitely do not bomb on PS3 if you look at the performance of basically all the latest big multiplatform games in the last year and a half. Sometimes the PS3 version sells more on a worldwide basis. Third parties simply cannot ignore the platform.

Plus Sony has a little something called Gran Turismo 5 which promises to be the best selling PS3 game yet.

I really want to see a price drop ASAP, but so far I don't think Sony's performance for this gen is all that catastrophic. There's still some tremendous potential left to be untapped with lower price points, and with a slimline system redesign among others.

The Konami number for MGS4 is so bs.

At least 1.5 million of that number is over shipping, where did the copies go seriously? It certainly didn't do that in charts, but it's another one of those Sony games that must do like 2 million sales in some written off country like Andorra, right. And LBP and Killzone 2 doing 3 million must be a joke prediction clearly. "at least" lol
Ratchet did not sell 1.5 million, it had shipped a million and change very close to launch, when it was charting like crap.

Seriously. The numbers for Ps3 game sales 1st party are always kinda funny, they might be selling on par with stuff like Army of Two or whatever, but somehow, the game will hit really big numbers, somehow.

I do think GT5 is gonna be a good seller, but considering how long it has been, how the hardware sales have been, how stuff just completely changed, i don't think it's gonna be doing anything near what it used to do before when kids would also buy Gt5, the Pokemon of cars.
