For contrast, here is numbers for November 2007:
Wii more then doubled it sales from the previous year. 360 sold an extra 50k and PS3 lost almost 100k. Sony really should have had a price cut...

PopcornTreeCt

Is it bad that there's only a 172K difference between the PS3 and PS2?

Michael Corvin

They have since then, haven't they? Weren't they still $499 & $599?

PopcornTreeCt

I think PS3 sales are steadily going to decline once more and more cheaper blu-ray players flood the market. Apparently, that has already started to happen.

Drexl

I'm just glad the PS3 is outselling the PS2 now.

Fandango

Well considering PS3 costs almost 4 times as much its not terrible.

The only difference to me looks to be the addendum.

If anything it would be nicer to see in order of sales for the consoles. Maybe a nice pie chart or graph.

2 million Wii's 2 years after launch without a single price drop? Holy Balls. I don't think anyone would have seen this prior to the launch.

tonymontana313

Geez, is this going to be like this till the end of this gen with the Wii? Hell, the way it's going, there is absolutely no reason for Nintendo to move to the next gen till another 5 years or so.

The Bus

Well, I was right and wrong in my Wii predictions. I knew it was going to be successful. But I predicted it would be a fun and enjoyable console and a wise investment.

orangecrush

You could probably sell it for more than $250 if you play your cards right.

Raul3

2 million? are fucking kidding me?
And Wii Fit could sell more than 1 million units in December if they ship that quantity. They are still selling them used for $150, at least here in Silicon Valley.

Kinda sad about the PS3, do they need to go $299?

Michael Corvin

I have to agree with PopcornTreeSt, I think it's only going to get worse. The PS3 is still coasting on the fact it's the best BD player on the market and gaming still comes second. That all comes to an end with stand alone BD players at half the cost of PS3s.

tonymontana313

I disagree with that assessment. There is no way you can compete in this economy when the competition is selling consoles for half the price. The PS3 is no longer the best Blu-ray player on the market IMO with the new Sony 350, 550, and Panasonic players out.

It's also quite subjective to say that gaming comes second when there are great games out on the system this 4th quarter. What it comes down to is price, plain and simple. Sony should expect this numbers as long as the price remains at 399.

I warned my friends last year who got it, and my brother this year about it gathering dust. No one believes me until they get one. Although I just got Resident Evil 4 for it, and that game is pretty enjoyable (and scares me).

Chris_D

Wii numbers... ahh.....

At least there will always still be real consoles for me to play .

Kelkee

Real consoles? You mean like the ones that sell 2 million in one month even 2 years after launch?

In reality thats really really real. Really.

orangecrush

How much time do you spend playing games? I can think of at least 15-20 games I would buy if I got a Wii.

Groucho

Some of the posters on this thread may want to review this forum's rules on console bashing.

PixyJunket

I knew there was something I didn't miss while being away from the forums.

Michael Corvin

Which post is console bashing exactly? PS3 is known mostly for BD player? Wii gathers dust? Seriously? I think some people just need thicker skin. There aren't any "OMG PS3 suxxxorss!!!" or "Wii's are for babies" type comments here, unless I have people on ignore that I'm unaware of.

True, this fall they have made some great strides(two games in the top 10 this month), but it's going to take a lot more to turn the "PS3 is a BD machine" to "PS3 is a gaming machine" perception around. Maybe actually slash the prices of games still riding at full SRP that are over a year old(Heavenly Sword, Ratchet, Lair, Uncharted). A Greatest Hits line with only a couple games from two years ago is pathetic.

CreatureX

Sorry, but the software numbers the Wii keeps pushing month after month, shows that the majority of Wii systems are not sitting gathering dust.

Gizmo

No, the $399 PS3 was in affect last November (Late September IIRC)
